Britain Denies Rurnor
OF u. s. Interference
America Has Made No Requests
to Draft Farm Labor,
Statement Declares

LONDON, Aug. 5.-The attention Of
the Ministry Of Information has been
called to rumor that the fresh callinp
up OF farm laborers for military ser,
wee Is due to pressure from the United
States government, 3nd it has been
further rumored thatNhc United States
insisted that every able bodied man un
der the age Of forty six years in Great
Britain should be called up for the
army.
Additional weight has been given to
these rumors by the suggestion that
Prime Minister Lloyd George, when he
SAID in recent speech eve must live
up to our contract with America" was
alluding to secret understanding of
this nature between the American and
British governments.
"Thc Ministry of Information il ablc
to state with authority that thore is no
truth whatever in these reports" savs
Reuters, Limited. "The United Stntcs
has made no claim in respect to British
manpower, as has been suggested.
when Mr.. Lloyd George referred 10
our contract with America he had in
mind the moral obligation of Grcat
Britain not to relax her efforts owing
to the entry Of the United States into
the war America declared war 70 de-
feat the menace TO civilization and to
,he ideals which both Americans and
Britons have in common. Both nations
are putting out their full efforts to thjg
end in complete cooperation, but with
no interference in each others internal

Pershing's Table Shows 459
Killed in Action During
Great u. S. Drive
Total Not Thought
To Be Excessive
Washington Refuses to
Guess on Complete
Figures

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5-Names of
American soldiers who have fallen in
the great Franco American drive which
turned the German offensive on the
Marne into an utter defeat have begun
to come in from overseas. They swelled
to 7O6 the total casualties made public
to-day by the War Department in two
separate lists
Although nearly three times as great
as the largest number heretofore an
nounced in single day, the total to-
day represents only part of the lists,
which have been accommodating since the
great battle began, July Is. And it is
not to be assumed that it represents the
losses for any one day.
No estimate of the American casual
ties in this continuous fighting has
been received from General Pershing.
and it was said authoritatively to-day
that none is expected In that connec-
ton, acting Secretary of War Crowell
to-day deprecated any guesses as to
casualties in the overseas forces, say
ing that publications which would ex-
aggerate or minimize the total would
create unnecessary anxiety among the
relatives and friends Of American SOL
diers.

459 Killed in Action

Of the names made public to- day
469 were of those who were killed in
action and eighty who died from
wounds. The second list contained
only names of the dead-256 killed in
action and forty-three who died from
wounds--but the first list showed forty
eight wounded severely, 100 wounded
to a degree undetermined and three
missing in action. In the first list
there also were nine who died of
disease, one in an airplane accident
and six from accidents and other
causes.
Acting Secretary Crowel told news
paper correspondents that General
Pershing would supply complete and
verified casualty lists as rapidly as
they can be transmitted and that thew
would be given to the press and speak
for themselves as to numbers.
l.. Speculation Is Decried
are beginning" said Mr.. Crow
ell, "to receive from General Pershing
the toll of victory in the Marne- -Aisne
offensive. The casualty lists that are
now being made public have been re-
ceived by cable from headquarters of
the American expeditionary forces, and
represent losses in the recent fighting.
"Other lists are coming in by cable,
are being decoded and the next rf kin
are being notified in advance of the
publication of the names in the press,
70 l;ch ~.
the War Department.
"The fact that 706 casualties are
made public in a single day does not
indicate that that number is to be
taken as the daily average to be ex-
pected, and there should be no specu-
lation on that basis.
Enemy Toll Heavier
"The losses reported and to come
will bring sadness to many homes, but
personal grief will be tempered by the
righteousness of the cause in which
these brave men have given thems selves
and by the pride which all free peo-
Piles take in the magnificent results
of their heroism."
While casualties in offensive opera
tions necessarily are heavy, officers
here do not believe that there has been
an unusual number among the Ameri-
can forces. Proof OF the falslty of the
German reports of great American
losses, which have been circulated to
impress the German population at
home. is given by the fact that the
American divisions which began the
fighting still were taking part in it
last Saturday, official reports show.
1t was pointed out to-day that had
the casualties among the American
forces been unusually large some of
the divisions necessarily would have
had to be withdrawn. The fact that
none of them has been and that they
have been fighting virtually continu-
ously for twentyone days is taken by
officers here to show that their losses
have been much smaller than those
they have inflicted on the enemy, who
has been forced to withdraw many of
I his divisions

WASHINGTON, May 23.--Slackers
who leave the country to escape the
draft will be prosecuted under the Sc
lective service act on their return,
Attorney General Gregory announced
today.
1T has teen brought to my atten-
tion,'' said the attorney generals
statement, that a number of men Of
conscription age have left and that
even now occasionally others are
leaving the country to evade military
service.
"Slackers are presumably laboring
under the delusiOn that by securing a
temporary residence in another coun-
try for the duration of the war, they
may escape their military obligations
and may return here to enjoy the
fruits of sacrifice in which he did not
share.
Must Stand Trial.
when this struggle is completed,
however, such men, on seeking admis-
sion to the United States, will find
that it will be necessary for them to
stand trial on indictments charging
them with violation of the selective
service act. These trials will be Wig
orously prosecuted and the maximum
penalty provided by the act will be
urged upon conviction.
"The passage of time will not pre-
vent the bringing of prosecutions.
Such non-residents and delinquents
either must return for military SER
vice or become expatriots with all fu-
ture rights Of United States citizen
ship denied them. The government
at no time hereafter will be inclined
to grant any general amnesty to such
men"
1T should also be clearly understood
by the general public that whoever
assists another to escape from this

AGAIN BOMB
HOSPITALS OF
THE ALLIES
Hundreds of Patients and
Members of Hospital Staffs
Are Killed or Wounded by
the Germans.
CAPTAIN TAKEN
(By Associated Press.)

German frightfulness again has
been vented upon patients and work
ers in British hospitals behind the bat
;lc line in Northern France.
Some hundreds of patients and
members of. the hospital staffs were
killed and wounded Sunday night by
bombs dropped by German airmen.
Although one large American hospital
was near the bombed area, it escap-
ed damage.
The captured captain of an enemy
airplane which took part in the bomb
ing OF hospitals said he did not see
the red cross sign. He added, how
ever, that if the British built their
hospitals near the railway they must
expect to get them bombed.
Artillery Fire Normal.
Infantry operations on the western
front continue at a minimum and
neither side gives any indication that
intensive fighting is about to be re-
sumed Immediately. The artillery
fire is normal on the various sectors
In the air, however, the hostilities are
at high pitch. as they have been for
the past week or more
Between Arras and the Somme,
where there has been no heavy fight
ing in six weeks, the British and Ger
mans are carrying out raids, evident
ly for the purpose of gaining informa-
ton as to their opponents plans
North of Albert, the Germans have
been repulsed in an attempt to rush
the British positions southeast of
Mesnil. Further north Field Marshal
Haig's men continue their raids and
have penetrated the enemy lines near
Hebuterne as well as at other points
southwest Of Arras
On the French front and on the
American sectors. as on the British
front. the lull is unbroken and even
raiding has Quieted down.
British airplanes are harassing ser
iously German airdromes and billets
behind the lines in Flanders and Pic
ardy. The Germans are seeking un-
availingly to check the British and in
aerial fighting Tuesday Is enemy ma
chimes, Is of which were destroyed,
were accounted for by the British. At
night the enemy is raiding behind the
British lines and two of his machines
were brought down by gunfire Tues
day.
