rest Food and water were scarce
and irregularly supplied.
But the paramount interest in
that retreat is found in the sleep
phenomena experienced by these
men. Sleep is as necessary to tne
body as food and air Animals can
not live longer than five to eight
DAYS without sleep. How, then, did
these men endure for nine days, IN
addition to the lack of sleep, the pri-
walton of war-the scant supply OF
food and water, the making OF forced
marches, the fighting of one of the
greatest battles OF history?
"They did an extraordinary thing
they slept while they marched!
Sheer fatigue slowed down their
pace to a rate that would permit
them to sleep while walking. When
they halted they fell asleep They
slept in water, on rough ground,
when suffering the pangs of hunger
and Of thirst, and even when severe
" wounded. They cared not for cap
tur6, not even lOf ucdtu, ehoy
could only sleep"
They marched through towns and
villages asleep, Keeling against his
companion In arms as they tramped
with rifles across their shoulders.
Artillerymen slept on horseback.
Now and then less sleepy man
Weakened and reused to further effort
a companion, whose limbs were be-
coming so heavy with sleep that he
was in danger of dropping by the
wayside. OF those who Jagged be-
hind the ranks and were captured by
the enemy, all were asleep.
When the wounded of this sleeping
army was taken to the hospital they
continued to sleep on in their sleep
of utter exhaustion. In one hospital
containing more than 500 men there
was not sound, mot groan. not
motion, not a complaint" Nothing
would arouse these men-food, nor
water, of which they were sorely IN
need, nor the prospect Of being COM
fortably cared for. They slept even
while their wounds were being dress
ed, a process which in many cases
would ordinarily have been extremely
painful. Yet these men were too ex-
hausted even to feel pain.
The courier-index. (Marianna, Ark.) 1917-current, 1918-06-21

During the sleep of exhaustion the
dream of the soldier is always OF
battle-never of home and of quiet
scenes in his past life. Sometimes
a sleeper will spring up with a cry
and reach for his rifle.
Dreams of soldiers under the in
fluence of anesthetics are the same.
