their occupation about the sea Of Cali
lee. They have occupied Liberals and

Allies.

HOLD CASUALTY LISTS
USE OF ADDRESSES GIVES FOE
VALUABLE INFORMATION.
Pershng Says Units IT the Front Are
Identified Through Publica-
ton of Names.

Washington, March 1.-THE war de-
partment has ruled that the military
casualty lists TO be made public in
newspapers shall not include the emer-
gency addresses-the names and ad-
dresses of relatives or friends.
The committee on public informa-
ton, of which George Creel is chair
man, has refused TO put out the cas-
ualty lists through it's news channels
unless they include the emergency ad-
dress.
The committee takes the groun,i
that a mere list of names without
means of Identification is not public
information.
Orders from the White House may
be necessary to straighten out the
matter.
Reports Of casualties continue to ar
rive at the war department and have
been offered to the committee on pub
lie information in abridged form for
dissemination through the regular
news channels. They merely give the
mems names and ranks.
When Mr.. Creel ana Ike chiefs of
the news dlvisi@T learned that merely
the names were to be given out they
decided that the committee would not
publish the lists.

More Gas Projectors Destroyed.
Four groups Of German gas prOjec-
tors, in addition to the group of 200
projectors already reported destroyed,
have been discovered and likewise
blown to pieces by the American artil-
lery. Probable German plans for gas
attack on comparatively large scale
against the American positions north
west of TOul have thus been upset.
American Dead Number 34e.
Although American participation in
the military operations abroad scarce
ly has begun. the United States army
has already lost considerably more
men killed in action than during the
entire war with Spain.
Counting the Tuscania victims as
men killed in action. the var depart
ment records shows a casualty list Of
34S up to and including today. The to-
tai number killed in action during the
war with Spain was $50. OF these %
officers and 237 enlisted me fell in
Cuba, three enlisted men in Porto Rico
and II in the Philippines.
The records to date for the present
war show 139 killed in action in France
and POO lost when the Tuscania was
sunk by submarine. The total num-
Der of casualties to date, including
men who died of wounds, diseases, etc,
is 1.176. This, however, does not in
clude any of the deaths which have
occurred in the United States since the
beginning of the war.
