KILLED IN ACTION, 1,033
More American Soldiers Have
Died Abroad from Disease
Than Have Fallen in Battle
on the Front.

y
partment announced in making pub
lie the first of regular weekly sum-
maries of casutlties. Deaths in ac- s
tion, diseases, accidents, and all
other causes number 1927, while.
4,O46 men have been wounded and
342 are missing in action including
men held prisoners in Germany.
The departments recapitulauon
follows:
Killed in action 0ncluding 2s1 att
sea- 1893.
Died of wounds, SO.
Died of disease, 1872.
Died of accidents and other
causes, 392.
Wounded in action, 4,046.
Missing in action (incluseM pris-
oners), 342.
Total, 1915. ~
While no official explanation was
given for the decision of the del ~,
partment to advise the country yeerr. M
y of the exact total casualties since .i7ec
the landing of the first American Il
forces in France last June, it is un- N.
derstood that it resulted largely
| from widespread reports that casu-f =
| alties had been very heavy and that =,
| total figures were being withheld :,
from the public. \,
Scattered for Caution.
1t has been explained at the de-
partment that the daily lists sent by
General Pershing are issued with as
little delay as possible. The casu-
alties are so scattered in the lists
that they will not give information
of value to the enemy but this does
rot mean that any appreciable num-
hers are held back. After heavy
actions, such as that at Cantigny
it requires several days to check up "a
the casualties and cable them to the
department. ..
American troops have been in the
! trenches several months and now,
hold sectors at several points along !.
| the western, front. In addition
many American units are brigade,
with the French and British and -,
have been in heavy fighting since the. ~
German drive began in March Gen- =
erai Pershing's men first went into
training and soon afterward they
took over trench sector perma-
nently for final training with the
French later and finally took over
| sectors so that the total frontage
now held by the Americans ranks
second to that Of the British and
| French armies.
No Report on Marines.
Marine corps casualties are issu-
ed separately from those OF the armycs
and no reports have yet come on the
killed and wounded among the ma
rines who have been engaged in
heavy lighting near Chateau Thierry.
Up TO that lighting the marine
corps casualties had been very low, a
as they were only recently moved
