Though several casualties have been
reported in cables, these have not been
received here. Only the death of Cap
tain Newton has been reported, but
the circumstances of his death have
not been told. It is pointed out in
this connection, however, that lists
of casualties, excepting those hold
ing important commands, are mailed
from the front to England, and that in
many cases the names Of those who
have fallen in an engagement do not
appear in the press until several weeks
after the engagement has occurred. 1t
is probable that the casualties which
the Pats have suffered may not reach
Canada for some time yet. When they
do they will be communicated to the
