During the past week correspondents
with the American forces have report
ed unusual activity by the Germans on
the fronts where the Americans are in
the trenches, the dispatches OF Sunday
referring TO the heavy artillery bonn
bardment OF the trenches held by Cen
eral Pershing's men. A number of the
casualties reported are believed to have
occurred among theengineer units that
took part in the great battle in Picardy
The issuing of the daily casualty
lists was suspended after receipt OF a
general order from Secretary Baker in
France that in future all news relating
to the expeditionary forces must come
from the headquarters OF General
Pershing. While it was not believed
that the order was intended to refer
to the casualty lists, Acting Secretary
Crowell and Major General March, act
ing chief Of staff decided to hold them
up until a formal ruling on the point
could be obtained from Mr.. Baker.

Pressure still ia being exercised in
the attempt to have published the
home addresses and next Of kin OF each
man named in the casualty list.

nal decision until he has had an op-
portunity to discuss the matter with
