EVIDENCE or HOLDING BACK

During the month Of June, when tho
British were more heavily engaged,
the total casualty list is officially given
as 141, 147. The American casualty
list for the month of Ju,.", as given
out SO far, totals 1878.

E-B0AT SINKS OIL TANKER OFF
THE ATLANTIC COAST.

(Albcrt w. Fox in Washington Post
Something has gone radically wrong
with the system whereby American
casually lists from France are trans
mittcd to tho American public if these
lists are to be regarded rs rejecting
losses incurred in the recent fighting.
There is such an Obvious lack of pro-
portion between the numbers reported
in the daily lists as killed in action,
wounded and missing, and the num-
Ders which must have been involved
in The constant death grapplc with the
enemy that the War Department here
has cablcd to General Pershing ask
ing him in effect to put into operation
n system which does not hold back
names of those who have joined the
nations honor roll in battle.
PEOPLE CAN STAND THE TRUTH.
Secretary Baker said yesterday that
he had sent a personal cable to Gen.
Pershing on this matter so the public
may be prepared for the shock Of see
'ng the numbers multiply tcn-fold or
perhaps hundred-fold when the facts
come in.
Mr.. Bakers decision appears to be
based Oh the principle that the Amer
lean people can stand the truth no
matter how hard it hits them, and
that there is no need for holding back
information on casualties or attempt
ing TO soften the blow by spreading
out losses by giving them in small
numbers over an extended period.
In proportion to the service they
have rendered to the cause OF civil
cation and in proportion to tho mill
tary results achieved at this critical
time, the American losses in the
Marine salient are understood to have
been normal.

It is understood that Representative

will have no opposition for renomina-

Lieutenant Governor, and later for
Governor on the same party's ticket,
will try to succeed State Senator
Charles w. Wicks, of Sauquoit, who is
finishing his second term in the upper
house. Senator Wicks had about de-
cided to retire from active politics, but
he said to-day that he would be can
didate to succeed himself. The Re-
publican leaders of Oneida look for one
of the most spirited primary contests
in the history of local politics.
1t is believed that ex-senator Daven-
port who in politics never has lacked
combativeness, will attack Senator
Wicks for his alleged friendliness for
the gas and electric lighting interests
in Utica, and also on account of his
failure to line up with the "drys" in
the battle for the ratification of the
Federal prohibition amendment.
The movement headed by ex-senator
Davenport will not lack for leadership
among experienced politicians, as John
C. Davies, former Attorney General,
will take a hand in the fight against
Senator Wicks.

is the only variety utilized in our New

being the close proximity to the street

From this apparent authoritative
testimony it might be we'll for those
who yearn for the rich-favored sweet
