NO MORE CASUALTY LISTS
WILL Be PUBLISHED
Fearing Germans May Get Valuable
Information War Department
Stops Practice
SUGGESTED BY PERSHING
AS Heretofore, Next of Kin Will Be
Notified When Soldiers Die

Washington, March 8.---Issuance Of
daily lists of casualties among the ex-
peditionary forces abroad was discon-
tinued today by the public informa-
tion committee as the result of an or
der of the War Department under
which the names of the next of kin
and the emergency addresses of sol
diers whose names appear on the list
hereafter will be withheld.
The official explanation is that the
purpose of the order is to keep infor-
nation Of value from the enemy.
On being informed of the order the
committee took the position that long
lists of men killed or wounded would
be worthless to the newspaper cor
respondents without the addresses,
and notice was issued advising the
press that in future all information
regarding casualties must be obtained
from the war department. At the ad-
jutant generals office it was stated
the list without addresses would con-
tinue to be sent to the committee and
would be available here. \
Unalterable Purpose
While the disagreement between the
committee and the department will be
Sralghtened out soon, SO that the "eX-
purgated' lists may be made available
to all who desire them, the purpose of
the department to withhold The ad-
dresses apparently is unalterable
Acting SECRETARY Crowell said the or
der was issued at the urgent recon-
mendation of Gen. Pershing and that
| lit would be permanent. Both Fir.
Crowell and Major Gen. March, acting
chief of staff, declared that the pur-
pose was to close up a channel
through which the enemy might OBJ
tain valuable information and both
dsclaimed any intention of seeking to
conceal heavy casualties reports.
TO Notify Relatives
The nearest relative of every SOL
| dier who may be killed or wounded
will be notified by the department as
! heretofore. Lists containing simply
/ the names of the soldiers under the
heading "killed in action" or "died Of
disease" will be sent each day to the
committee on public information To
give out the lists in this shape, ac-
cording to officials of the committee,
would bring each day flood of re-
quests by telephone, telegraph and
mail for specific Identification of each
man ahmed in the list of the previous
day.
Identity of Units
Unofficially it~was said at the War
: Department that Gen. Pershing held
| that the publication of addresses with
the casualty lists tends to disclose the
identity of units in the trenches, in
formation which the enemy is so de-
sirous of obtaining that many lives
are risked in sending raiding parties
to bring out a prisoner or two to be
! examined and questioned.
! To press the order means that each
newspaper must depend upon mes
sages to relatives to get the news of
men from it's own community who are
killed or wounded.

4 DANGEROUS MISTAKE
Maninng Mothers Should Not Neglect
Kidney Weakness in Children

Many children have weak kidneys.
An early warning is bed-wetting.

ssAmaricans must remember that the
seas are free to everyone in peace time
and that to none has that freedom
been denied. In time of war, one
might as well talk of the freedom OF
the land as the freedom OF the seas
Imagine Belgium, northern France OF
Serbia talking about freedom OF the
land.
1.-THE moment war arises great
coercive and primeval forces assert
themselves and the reign OF law Is
abandoned for the assertion OF naval
and military forces"
One might readily imagine that the
above was the utterance of some nun
defending the violation of Belgium
neutrality on the ground that it was a
military necessity, the reign OF law be-
ing abandoned for the assertion OF
naval and military forces" However,
the speaker was none other than the
attorney general of England, Sir Fred
erik e. Smith, who expressed the above
sentiments in an address at Liverpool
Monday.
The reign of international law GER
tainIy should not be abandoned even
in war time. If one belligerent tia
gravity disregards international law
on every possible occasion, possibly its
opponents may in some instances be
forced to adopt similar tactics, as. for
example, the use of poison gas in the
war just ended.
If such a thing as the much-talked-
of league of nations can be cOnsumma-
ted. and mean anything, primary
consideration will be the enforcement
of faithful observance by all coun-
tries of he tenets of international
law, whether on land or sea.

GOVT. is HOLDING UP
PRICES OF COMMODITIES

The prices on VARIOUS commodities
are unusually high. They are at what
is called the stage of war prices. War
is over. The great conflict is settled
so far asa combat is concerned. The
warriors of all nations are fast return
ing to the pursuits of peace
Now the question is how to hold up
these war prices and the confidence OF
the people The cry is started that
Europe is starving and other CONT
nents are starving. 1t seems strange
that someone has not yet discovered
that Japan is starving and the hun
dreds of millions of Chinese and the
negroes in Africa. Thus the cry OF
starvation in Europe and elsewhere II
used to maintain high prices. Europe
is not starving and will not starve
Europe will import such food stuff as
If needs and is already doing So Such
impOrtations will not in the least
cause a shortage in America. The
two greatest SURPRISES that America
are millions of tons of food in this
huge surplus. You cannot go into a
grocery store anywhere in the country
but what it is piled high with food all
at high prices.
A well-known food man stated yes
terday that food is gradually coming
down and there is already drop in
certain lines There should be fur
Their drop and then some more. The
wholesalers are burdened with food.
In the meat line the trust still holds
up the price, aided by government or
ders. The trust gets big government
orders for meats and then proceeds on
the strength of having these govern
ment orders to boost the prices. Oh the
consumer That has been the game al
along. Hogs come into the market
till the packers are crazy to know what
to do with 'em. Still the government
holds up the price. Chippewa Herald

PApEllA WEIlE
HARDEST Hit Az WAR

Waahihsfon,~phe Republican, pub
liifity assneiatipn, !, through Its preaSi,
GHnt, Hon, .Tollhthau Bourne, Jfp gave
oNt the following statement from its
Washington headquarters: to. /.
mo other business has been bit
harder by the wal than the newspaper
business particularly III the smaller
elites and country towns. The large
metropolitan papers have probably
suffered least. During iij1T more thai
!, 200 publications went out OF business.
After making allowance for new pa
oers started, it appears that there was
net loss Of 81 dailies and $50 week
lies.
1.-THE mortality statistics for 1918
will probably show as great loss for
the shortage of paper, the increasing
cost of all kinds of supplies, and the
higher wages, together with the heavy
all upon newspaper men for military
service. have been more severe this
year than last.
And one of the serious features of
the situation is that the people of the
country probably do not realize that
the most valuable portion of the press
has sustained the greatest loss. I'm
der popular government the country
press, including not only country week
lies, but the smaller dailies, is the real
voice of the people. Editors of large
metropolitan papers do not have and
cannot have the close touch with the
people that is necessary incident OF
the life of the country editor. Just as
Washington is the poorest place i'll the
country to get line on the political
thought of the nation, so the big city
newspaper office is the poorest place to
get a correct picture OF national
thought, either political or otherwise.
The people of the United States should
realize this. and should see to it that
whatever else happens the country
press shall be- maintained.
Freedom of speech and Of the press
is the first essential OF a republican
form of government, for the represent
tatives of the people cannot know the
UlOuSlIS anu dopII dtIOLo anu ptsilsts
of their constituents unless voiced
through the mediumship of the local
press TO which they have access either
directly, through the publication of
communications. or indirectly through
he editors Interpretation Of the views
Of his community.
1.-The country press, including the
smaller dailies, represents the prOduc-
ing element of our national life. The
large metropolitan press represents the
commercial factors. Just as produc-
ton is the first essential Of perman-
ant prosperity, so the maintenance OF
that portion of the press that speaks
for the producers is most important.
THE metropolitan press has its
place in our national life and nobody
wishes it i'll. The fact remains, how
ever, that the vital interests of the ma
lion are most promptly and most
clearly represented and the thought of
the people most freely and most c0ur-
ageously voiced by the country press.
The people of the country may not see
it now, but they will some day realize
that the large preponderance Of sns-
pensions among the weekly publica=
tions is a menace to national welfare. y
