YANK CASUALTIES
THUS FAR IN WAR
TOTAL ONLY 1889

Washington. D. c, June 10-To-
Ia casualties among the AmeTi-
can expeditionary forces reported
by General Pershing without TO-
cay's list OF "A names, number 1915,
and today's list brings the total up
to 7.3s9
This was announced today by the
war department in making public
the first weekly summary Of Casu-
aities abroad
Deaths in action and from
wounds, disease, accidents, and all
ether causes number 1927, while
4046 men have been wounded and
342 are missing in action, including
men held prisoners in Germany
While no official explanation was
given for the decision of the war
department TO advise the country
each week Of the exact total OF
casualties since the landing of the
first American forces in France
last June. II is understood that it
resulted largely from widespread
reports that casualties had been
very heavy and that total figures
were being withheld from the pub
lie.
