articles of war bearing on desertion.
In this connection it is pointed out
that a state of war exists at the pre*
ent time and that desertion is one of
the gravest crimes that can be com-
mitted by a soldier. This is set forth
in the fifty-eigth article of war as
follows:
"Desertion:—Any person subject to
military law who deserts or attempts
to desert the service of the United
States, shall if the offense be com - |
mitted in time of war, suffer death1'
or such other punishment as a court -
martial may direct, and if the often:-.-
be committed at any other time, any
punishment, excepting death, t!:
court, martial may direct."
Men who have not joined their com-
panies are being carried as "absent
without leave" at the present time.
but it is declared by the regimental
commander that these men may he
treated as deserters. The articles
further prescribe that anyone assist-
ing a deserter in his purpose may suf-
fer the same penalty.
At the direction of the post com
mander all sentries in and about Fort
Sill have been directed to treat all
prowlers according to the regulations
laid down in the articles in time ot
war. The sentries are supplied with
ball ammunition and are exercising
the greatest vigilance on the po
