 BY DEPT.
(BY United Pressl

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-The war and navy departments today through the United Press urged relatives of enlisted men not to lombard the de partment with queries for details con corning men mentioned in casualty lists.
 Officials of both departments re- peated assurances that every detail concerning men killed, wounded or taken prisoner, will be wired their families the minute it is available It is impossible to get more than the bare announcement in less than from two to six weeks.
 The army casualty work is in charge of Major, J. S. Jones' Here is how it works: In every regiment both in this country and in Pershing's ioiSe SeFefdl enlisted men record each casualty. They report these to their commanders who send the reports i'm mediately to headquarters whence they are cabled without delay to Washington
 Major Jones at once telegraphs to the person mentioned in the soldiers emergency address on file at the war department, telling all he knows about what happened to the soldier Later on detailed written reports as to how the men were killed or wounded are mailed to the war department. This causes delay which will lengthen as the casualty lists grow.
 If a soldier is captured, Germany under international law is required to report to this government through diplomatic channels, which takes about six weeks.
 The procedure is practically the same in the navy. ,'its''t.

OBSTRUCTIONIsTs

While pro-Germans, enemy spies, obdurate pacificts and stubborn obstructionists occu- py much space in the press and occasion considerable alarm in the public mind, the nation is actually much more united for u this war than for any war in the past.
 Lincoln had troubles that make Wilson's look like amusements. Public enemies are bad enough at any time, but II you are unduly concern ed over the present situation take up your history of the civ Il war and read what Lincoln went through. There were pac- lists, and obstructionists, and copperheadS, and revilers. and traitors, in those days when the nation was fighting for it's un- ity.
 The var of 1912 was unpop- ular, yet the nation was fight ing for it's rights on the high seas. Because Americans of that day were unwilling to make a temporary sacrifice of their foreign commerce they reviled the government in con oresS and out, refused to enlist III the army, put up a sorry fight on land though a brilliant one on sea, and indulged in the great American outdoor and indoor sport of "cussing" the government in excessive meas nra
 Wner Afnerlca fought Spain for the entirely altruistic pur- pose of succoring oppressed peoples, 1t will be remembered what storm was raised. Be- hind the banner of imperialism, the obstrnrtionists entrenched 
 themselves in that day.
 There are always those who cannot see the issue. When this nation fought for freedom of the seas, there were those who kicked; when the North fought the South to determine if this nation was a nation or a con glomeration of , States, there were NOrthernerS who did not vnrt to sec the question de- cisively and affirmatively de- cided; when the war with Spain came, there were those who professed to see dire cal amltv in an act of human gen erosity.
 Therefore there is small won der that some American citi- zens are so blind that they con- scientiously obstruct the grand assault of democracy on the fortresses of tyranny.
 But it is good to know that people can see straighter than they once could and give wholehearted support to the government in fuller measure than at any time in the past.

THE WHY OF HUN. l"

The German people are said to resent the fact that they are called Huns in the allied ma tlons above all else.
 Yet their own kaiser was the one who pinned the name to them.
 In a speech delivered July 27, 1900, to the members of the Chinese Expeditionary forces who aided in putting down the Boxer rebellion, the kaiser de- livered this Christian message to his cultured soldiers who were going forth to bring civil lzation to the heather Chinee: ::
 "lf you come to grips with them, be assured quarter will not be given, no prisoners will be taken. Use your weapons i'll such a way that for a thous- and years no Chinese shall dare to look upon a German ask ance. Be as terrible as Atilla's Huns.'
 Here is German terrorism ill concrete form from the head of the German state.
 The German army has prac- tised .the--daessiin az-is-A1 ssssssssszss. ssssssz The soldiers have been obeying the mandates of their royal master. What more appropri- ate than that they should be called Huns?
 Here Is some more of the Prussian terror:
 "I am the instrument of the Almighty. l am his sword, his agent. Woe and death to all those who shall oppose my will. Woe and death to those who do not believe in my mission.
 "Let them perish, all the enemies of the German people. God demands their destruction, God who, by my mouth, bids you to do His will!'
 This is not the wild raving of a man confined to his pad ded cell in a madhouse. It is from a proclamation issued by the kaiser in 1914 to his army fighting in Russia.
 Soldiers who follow this sort of irrational ranting live up to the name Hun so happily ap- piled by William the Raver himself.
