Our government has erred so far on
the side OF overcaution I'm Withholding

they have fought against Americans. In
fact, the public here has had 90 de-
pend on German cOmmuniQucs for di-
rect information about these clashes.
AT Seicheprey, for instance. the big
gest battle in which our forces in Lor-
raine have so far figured, the German
official bulletins gave as the first and
only details we have had They were

by the British casually reports. These

side, plus The French l0ses7 AZ this
moment there Is no toling what the

half as many as the British have lost
In killed and wounded. and il we fur
