Were the country at peace the
executions would have required the
approval of the President. In time
of war, however, all such authority
is decentralized and placed with re-
sponsible commanders.
No such wholesale execution in the
army has occurred within the memory
of the present generation. The last of
its kind was the execution of the so
called “St. Patrick's Battalion,” by
General Beott during the Mexican
War. Members of the battalion de
gerted, joined the Mexican forces,
later made their homes in Mexico,
marrying native women, and many of
their descendants now are found
there, natives of that country in all
respects, but bearing names quite
foreign to the language they speak.
