NO "WAR CASUALTIES" YETI
Official Bulletins Refer Only to Inciden-
tai Deaths Among Our Forces

Although the Committee on Public
Information announced that il would
begin yesterday the publication of
casualty lists of the military and naval
forces abroad, no such list within the
accepted meaning of the word was
forthcoming, says a special dispatch
to the New York Times. AT the COM
mittees Office two bulletins were
posted, each telling of the death in
France of an enlisted man of the navy
These We're similar to bulletins that
have been issued by the Navy Depart
ment even IN time of peace.
Reports have been in circulation
that American troops had been in ac-
tion and that there had been many
casualties. These lad no foundation
When the Committee on Public In
formation announced that il would be-
gin the publication of list it was sup
posed in some quarters that our mill
tary forces in France had been en-
gagged All that was meant, however,
was that in such a large number of
men as the United States had abroad
there were bound TO be deaths and in
juries from causes even apart from
fighting, and it was thought wise to
make these known in some orderly
way whenever they took place.
