“Baron von Steuben drilled the
army for Washington at Valley
Forge which made possible our vic
tories for independence. The first
man in America to gain freedom for
the press was John P. Zenger, a Ger
man whose victory for free press
helped the colonists to secure their
rights. Washington's mounted body
guard was made up entirely of Ger
mans. One hundred and seventy-six
thousand eight hundred and seven
teen Germans, men born in Ger
many, responded to Lincoln's call
while the soldiers of German blood j
who fought for the Union would j
swell that figure three times. Thirty |
three brigadier generals and oinoj
major-generals ip the Civill War
were German-horn or of German
descent. Gen. Pershing, command

satian-German descent. Geo. W. L.
Sibert is of German blood.

American Soldiers
Court Martialed
Sleeping On Duty
WASHINGTON, D. C. Feb. 28.—
Four American soldiers, of the ex
peditionary forces in France have
been accused of sleeping on duty.
Pershing ordered that they be tried
immediately by a military court-mar
tial, they were found guilty and
sentenced to be shot. The findings
of the court have been reviewed
by General Pershing and he has
approved the sentence, but with
held orders to carry it into effect,
until all the papers, which were or
dored sent to the President shall be
reviewed and approved by him.
These are the first American
troops to be accused of so grave a
crime, virtually under fire, and the
President is under the impression
that the men surely could not have
realized the seriousness of the of
fense and will in all probability
commute the sentence or pardon
them. Under the present circum
I stances their execution would be a
j serious blow to voluntary enlist
ments . The idea of American sol
iers, being executed for neglect of
duty at any time, is repugnant to
Americans in principle but at such
a time is almost unbelievable.
