CASUALTY LIST AIDS ENEMY.
General March Explains Why Ad-
dresses Are Not Printed.

Washington, March 26. - An official
statement of the war departments rca-
son for announcing only names OF
American troops killed or wounded in
France was submitted to the senate
today by General March, with the
statement that the department consid-
ers it to the best advantage from all
points of view.
General March said the old system
of giving the addresses and other de-
tails gave information to the enemy
and brought swarms Of claim agents
to harrass the relatives of the men.
"The old system" he added, (which
gave the date of the casualty, gave the
Germans information regarding the re-
suit of their actions on that date.
"The raids which are being conduct
ed along our front are for the purpose
Of capturing our soldiers IL possible
with the object of obtaining from him
the identification of the forces on that
front. and to obtain the names Of the
relatives Of the captured prisoner that
the German agent in this country may
get in his work. In France they pub
lish no casualty lists"
The French. protested to General
Pershing the method used They pro-
tested on a specific case where infor-
nation given out in America permitted
the Germans to learn the effect of a
raid

FRENCH FoREsEE VICTORY.
Believes Kaiser and Aides Have ove

Believes Kaiser and Aides Have Over
played Their Hand.
French Front in France, March %
Supreme confidence reigns that the
Germans last trump in the worlds
greatest battle will be overtrumped
when the proper moment comes.
The allied leaders were cognizant
that the enemy's offensive would cause
a retreat unless measures were taken
to check an eruption in the allies po-
sitions.
AS always the attackers possessed
the advantage Of knowing exactly
where they would launch their on
slaught.
There is every sign in todays situa-
ton that the terrific attack, which ap-
parently has called in 100000 Ger
mans of all arms. is being slackened.
The resistance of the allies seems
firmer and the arrivals Of French re-
serves brought welcome support to the
British, who sustained the first power
full rush.
The German division who began
what was intended as an Irresistible
forward movement were so cut up as
to make it necessary to bring up fresh
troops.
Ground Gained Unimportant.
The ground over which the fighting
has taken place presents small tactical
value but it has been easy to make re-
tirement over.
While retreatng across what was al
most desert land the British inflicted
enormous losses on the enemy. who
threw away thousands Of lives in an
effort to overcome the resistance he
encountered The initial rush OF the
enemy seems to have stopped.
Military opinion generally is that
this first phase Of the great battle in
which even more troops were employed
than in the battle Of the Marne gives
no indication what the result will be.
Nevertheless the results are awaited
by the allies without anxiety.

almost entirely on subjects connected
with the war and heard Senator Lodge

An impassioned plea for speeding up

he said. will cut down production and
result in disaster
Compulsory military training was

that the American people be told the
truth.
The fate Of this war is trembling In
the balance" Senator Lodge declared.
"Our gallant allies are holding back the
Germans with sacrifices and courage
that goes past eulogy. In this dark
hour it is a crime to keep from the
people the facts that Germany herself
knows.
TT has been known for weeks that
we have no fighting planes in France
Our front is undefended in the air.
French and British have use for every
plane they can bring up. We nave no
guns in France except few old coast
guns. That's the hard fact.

What have we shown? A wasted
year We may be lighting before very
long for our very existence as an IN

Il have held my peace long time.
Senator Lodge added but the day IS
alton is we'll known to every senator

Ne,D Long-Range Gun
of Austrian, Make;
Nove1ty is in Shell

Geneva March 25.-The long range
guns bombarding Paris according tc
Vienna dispa tches are of Austrian
but its novelty comes from the shell
itself. There are said to be but two
or three of the guns.
London March 26.-In the mystery
gun" the name generally given to the
weapon with which the Germans are
! bombarding Paris from a distance OF
seventy five miles it is frankly con-
ceded by experts the enemy has
sprung one Of the surprises Of the war.
General Desmond OCallaghan for
merly president of the army ord
nance committee says Of the German
gun:
THE projestiles must have been
thai we have any knowledge Of. From
Paris has come the suggestion that
the extraordinary range Of the gun is
due to the projectile being provided
with second charge which explodes
when the first flight is completed"
The French suggestion is secuted by
General O'Caiiaghan.
1T would SEEM" he said, that a
new departure in ballistics can alone
explain the great range. which is three
times that of anything hitherto accom-
plished."
One expert estimates that the weight
of the projectle is about $50 pounds
and that it leaves the muzzle Of the
gun with velocity Of 300 feet a sec
ond, that the projectile has an eleva-
tion of about sixty-five degrees. The
strain on the gun. he says. is enor-
nous, and the gun could survive not
more than 100 rounds, the cost Of each
Of which is about $1,000. The gun is
only Of use where target is presented
on vast scale like Paris. The object
aimed at, they say, is rather more
moral than material.

night. The British established them
selves in new positions east Of Roye.
The German losses have been so
great that the enemy has been obliged
to bring up reinforcements from all
parts of the front.
The war Office has established that
men) have been engaged.
Resistance Surprises Germans.
| The tenacity of the British resist
ance. prisoners say, exceeded anything
the Germans deemed possible. They
complain Of lack of supplies and ex-
treme weariness. Owing to dense
masses of supporting troops, however,
the enemy is able to replenish his for
ward line with fresh units.
British airmen last night made veri-
| table pandemonium at every center of
| concentration behind the German front.
Tens of thousands of rounds were fired
into massed formation.
The statement follows:
1.-The fighting died down during the
night. Our troops established them
selves in new positions east of Roye
and Albert. North Of the Somme con-
tinuance of the fighting is expected but
| it has not yet developed. Attacks are
reported developing this morning south
of the Somme in the neighborhood of
Roye and Chaulnes.
"The enemy losses continue to be Sc
we're. He has been obliged to reinforce
his battle front from all parts Of the
western front"
German Losses Enormous.
Reports from all along the front in
dicate that the German loss of life yes
terday was heavy. The enemy ad-
vanced against allied gunners who were
firing with open sights.
Last night the British aviators took
heavy toll from German infantry at
Bapaume.
The correspondent is convinced that
at least 13O German airplanes have
been brought down in the last five
days.
| 6aPaune all Inferno.
| The fighting continued yesterday
with more or less intensity along the
whole line. The Germans pushed hard
in the neghborhood OF Fonches. .Chaul-
mes, Estrees, Dompieres. Mericourt
Niraumont, Sapignies and Ervilliers
Heavy fighting occurred about Gre
villeres and desperate conflicts was
waged in the vicinity Of Nesle, which
the Germans now hold.
| Bapeume was turned into an inferno
by squadrons Of British avators. Their
bombs tore to pieces whatever was left
of the place. The work Of the British
airmen since the beginning Of the
battle has been one of the brightest
pages. Dozens Of battles in the air
have been fought and the British have
proved their ability to smother the
| Germans.
British Excel in Air.
| The compilations of the German air
losses made by the correspondent COM
prise about two-thirds Of the line.
During the night there was COM
paratively little change in the line. No
strong attacks were made up to 10
o'clock this morning.
The British were holding the Ger
mans strongly between Combles and
Albert.
The British during the night fell
back somewhat from the line thru Err
villiers and Sapignies in order to
straighten the front which bulged in
ward just to the south.
