THE ADDRESSES IN THE CASUALTY
LIST.

LIS
The efforts of the war department to
suppress the addresses OF American cas-
uaties were nullifed in large part by
the well.meant investigations of the
newspapers in searching for the news
value in their respective territories. If
n Vermont boy is wounded while in
France that fact contains a great deal of
news value to the people of this state
and The Times, naturally enough, de-
sires to give the information to the pub
JIG while believing at the same time that
he publishing OF the fact that the
wounded soldier comes from some place
in Vermont can have little, or practically
no, value to the enemy. Likewise, the
Boston newspapers endeayor to gather
information concerning the soldiers Of
their own especial fields. All the news
papers have been doing this, not because
of any hostility to the war department, |
OF course, but simply because of the de-
sire to give the news to their readers /
anu tAt III tlbN ltti THAT Niit JuJltsiliiE
of the information thus far has been Diet |
rimental to the war program of the
United States government, if even such
a matter has come to the attention of |
the enemy, which is doubtful
Moreover, instances could be pointed /
out wherein the suppression of the ad /
dresses Of soldiers in the casualty list
has worked harm by the confusion re-
sulting from similarity of names. For
example, a soldier named John Murray
was reported as among the wounded
list without address and inasmuch as
there are a good many John Murrays in
the United States army the newspapers
in those sections, from which John Muir
rays come, at once began looking up
their John Murrays, and some of them
perhaps jumped TO the conclusion that
the man who was wounded was their
John Murray One of the leading Bos-
ton newspapers credited the casualty to
the soldier of that name from Marlboro,
Mass, although it admitted that the
relatives of the Marlboro man had not
received any official notification from the
war department. Presumably news
papers in other sections of the country
did the same thing and caused great
deal of trouble in their localities. As
matter of fact, the John Murray referred :
to was Barre Town boy, and The Times
printed the facts about him on the day
following the announcement in Washing /
ton that he was injured; and The Times
believes that no harm whatever was done
in such publicity, Indeed we do not
think it is of value to the enemy to know
whether John Murray came from Barre, /.
Vt, Marlboro, Mass, or Cassopolis, Mich
As merged in the United States army he
was John Murray of the United States
IF America.
Therefore, it is with a good deal of
pleasure that The Times notes, with all
lther newspapers, no doubt, that the
government in Washington is going to
10 away with the gum method of
announcing its casualty lists and will do
he same as Canada does with her list
publish the names and addresses.
