WHEN. THE LISTS COME IN NOW

The report this morning that the
sector held by American forces is
withstanding an assault comes the
certainty that the casualty lists will
lean people. So far our casualty lists
have not occupied large space because
they have been neglible compared to
the lists that battle must bring. The
names Of those suffering casualties will
run into thousands, perhaps ten thou
sands.
In those lists Implications Of sur
names and given names will be com
mon. The friends and members Of
families can not locate their own by
companies and organizations under the
present system. And so under the
arbitrary ruling days and perhaps
weeks of suspense must be suffered.
The general conclusion is that it is
merely an arbitrary ruling by marti-
nets and that it ia unnecessary. Grant
ed that military men know more OF
military methods and tactics than
civilians, that does not affect common
sense consideration Of public matter.
So far no answer has been made to
the senatorial request upon the war
department for explanation why the
publishing Of the residences Of casual
ties or the organizations to which they
belong would be Of advantage to the
enemy when Great Britain and Canada
have pursued the plan Of giving names,
organization or residences OF all
casualties thruout the war.
The New York Times, discussing the
matter says: 1.-THE military informa-
ton reason is a fimsy pretext foc
concealment. 1t is a case of being ar
bitrary without the slightest warrant.
The war department should reverse
itself before resentment forces it's sur
render"
Resentment" is the word. There
has been resentment against the order,
lack Of confidence in its utility, all of
which will multiply with the multi
plication Of casualties. The advice is
good. The war department should re-
scind that order.
