11. Tue proceedings, findings and sentence in the
foregoing case having been approved by the officer ap
pointing the Court and submitted to the Major-General
Commanding the Department, for his action thereon.
The Army Regulations require, that all persons of
j whatever rank in the service observe respect towards
i sentinels. Capt..Tqi>lanyi’s conduct Is aggaravated by
i the fact, that he had no authority over the sentinels,
and that the language he employed was such as no
provocation could excuse in an officer and gentleman.
1 In consideration, however, of the zeal which Capt.
Toplanyi has shown in maintaining the discipline of
his command, the Commanding General allows him
an opportunity to retrieve his reputation, and miti
gates the sentence to forfeiture for six months of all
pay and allowances, except the allowance for one
ration,
