SYMPATHY FOR
SENTR|ES Who
SLEPT ON POST

Four United States sentries on the
trench line are condemned to death
for sleeping at their posts. Their case
will come before President Wilson,
who will have in this matter to decide
a tragic problem of war policy.
Our boys cannot possibly be secure
in their defence unless the sentinels
are absolutely alert The sleeper at
his post is a peril worse than German
shells. For the dead of night when
drowsiness steals on the watcher so
irresistfbly, is just the time the Boches
may be coming over the top.
1t is desirable to resort to harsh
measures only as a last resort. But
everyone of our soldiers should realize
the terrible results that may follow
sleeping at the sentry's uost. A whole
army might be overwhelmed that
way, THE soHiers should train them
selves in ability to keep awake. They
can do it if they try, and their lives
depend on the ability of every man to
do it
