Marshal Foch, had launched formid-

Ask That Time Be Fixed
to Officially Record
missing" Soldiers Dead
(By Associated Press)


WASHINGTON, April 25.-The war
risk bureau has asked the war depart
ment to rule as to when a soldier who
has been reported missing in action"
shall be officially recorded as dead
The request was made in connection
with payment of insurance on tn. lives
of the officer and thirty-nine enlisted
men still unaccounted for among those
who were aboard the Tuscania I'm
der the law no payment can be made
to the heirs until the death of the
insured has been officially recorded"
Acknowledgement Mccain will be
called upon to fix some definite period
which will mark the end of official
hope that missing soldier may be
found. 1t is regarded as probable that
the system adopted by Canada, under
which period of six months is fixed,
will be followed General Pershing
recently recommended this course.
In an opinion in this matter, which
has been approved by Secretary Bak-
er, the acting judge advocate general
said:
"As to the men missing from the
Tuscania, have no hesitation In rec
ommending that the records should be
made to show them dead There is
every reasonable probability that none
of them haye survived"
