enemy infantry advancing and called for
"a counter barrage. which fell within two
minutes just in front of the enemy. The
Germans scattered as the American In
fantrymen came from their underground
shelters and began pouring machine and
automatic gunfire into their ranks.
An American corporal in a listening
post saw big German sergeant wearing

BULFEW AMERICANS
HAVE BEEN KILLED
False Reports Being Spread
by German Propagandists,
Says War Department.

Activity of German propagandists
who have sought to spread the idea that
there has been a large casualty list
among the American forces in France
led Acting Secretary of War CroweH to
announce yesterday that the lists of
casualties received from Gen. Pershing
daily during the past four days "bave
been absolutely minor in number and
that there has been no great loss on our
western front reported" .'A
The casualty lists have not been made
public by the War Department pending
an Interpretation by Secretary Baker
who is now in Europe, of his recent
order that all news concerning the ex-
peditionary forces must come from
Gen. Pershing's headquarters.
Mr.. Crowell announced, however, that
should there be report of great losses
Bakers ruling is received. the fact will
not be concealed, but the figures al
least will be given out Immediately.
The statement of the acting secre-
tary follows:
"Pending the receipt from Secretary
the war Department asking specifically
whether his order directing that all
publication with reference to persons
in the American expeditionary forces. be
given out from Gen. Pershing's head
quarters forbade the publication from
the War Department Of lists of casual
ties, the War. Department announces
that the lists of casualties which have
been received from Gen. Pershing daily
during the past four days have been
absolutely minor in numbers and that
there has been no great loss on oul
western front reported.
SHOULD there be report of large
losses or disaster of any kind. the fac,
will not be concealed, but the figures
