OF CASUALTIES

PROCEDURE IN NOTIFYING I.r1.ATTyE
OF CASUALTIES
Relatives Of soldiers named in casuhItg Iista
| forwarded from France ordinarily are ssofiffed
within "a hours after receipt of the lists. se-
Sording 70 statement authorized by the Var
staff Of officers and corps Of steno1raphers
gives all its time to the maintenance Of files
of soldiers names and addresses This divia
ion notifies relatives. A copy Of the roster az
| each contingent sailing to join the Expedition-
airy Forces is filed in card index fashion, each
ganizatiOn. and the name and address of par
ent or other relative or friend designated by
him to be notified in emergency. When a
casualty list is received from Cen Pershino
eSeh cabled from the American Expe-
| dictionary Force is listed with the emergency
address on file in the card index. As rapidly
as the new list with emergency addresses is
built 10 the telegraph clerks get duplicates
These clerks already are spilled with blank
| kilograms which require only the relatives
address. name of sender, nature of casualty
and the date. and filling in the blank spaces
| they get the telegram off quickly as pcssi-
bic. In addition to maintaining the telegraph
division is supplied with sets of form letters
to be filled hi and mailed when further de-
tails available.
While relatives are generally in receipt of
information within "a hours after the cables
are received, delays are sometimes due to
cierfeais errors caused by the fact that names
and IN America, incorrect emergency addresses
turned in by soldiers, removal of families to
addresses other than those listed. and the oc-
casional necessity for cabling back to Gen.
Pershing to verify a name or to obtain an
address.
Aside from these four causes Of delay the
only reason for the failure of relatives to
receive word at once is military consideration.
Gen. Pershing may. at his discretion. withhold
casualty list until he is positive IL will have
no military value to the enemy.
