CARD INDEX SOLDIERS
Uncle Sam Will Establish Statistical
Division With Branch in Paris.

Washington, Sept. "a card in
dex of all American soldiers at home
and abroad is to be supplied by the
war department. Congress has APP
propriated money for the purpose in
the general deficiency bill. Every man
in the army, whether officer or pri-
vate, will be indexed by name, and
the records filed in alphabetical order
for immediate reference should his
name appear in army orders or casu-
atty lists. With the description of
each soldier will be given the name of
his next of kin and emergency ad-
dress.
The plan of giving each man a num-
Der virtually has been abandoned and
it is understood that each soldier in
stead will be supplied with a small
aluminium tag bearing his name and
company. 1t will be worn around his
neck as vat present.
Plans have been completed for the
creation of a Statistical division"
with a branch in Paris, which will
employ several hundred clerks to COM
pile records.
