Our Casualties Not Concealed.

SULDlEk Fort SAID recently. These casualty
lists OF ours are giving only part Of our losses It's
incredible that should such small casualties with
as large army we have in France. There be
covering up going for the euemy's confusion"
This soldiers impression has been shared by many people
who have been viewing casualty lists, ranging
30 to 100 day. in comparison with the fact that
have really large army IN Europe and sending
over at the rate Of 100000 month.
The belief that either Gen. Pershng the depart
ment are covering up any part Of American casualties IS
erroneous and unfair, though unintentioualy
The war and navy departments pledged themselves at
the outset to reveal all losses land sea and that
beng done faithfully The only covering up which may
be praced is the spreading Of losses in given
several casualty lists order that the enemy
may be informed the exact results of any one fight
Otherwise, all losses are given promptly and accurately
the casualty lists.
In view however Of the suspicion which seems to exist
in this country the department has decided issue
weekly statements showing the number Of all casualties
to American epedionarv forces the very beginning
Thus up to and including June the casualties totaled
1915 All deaths totaed 1927 wounded 4o46 and missing,
including prisoners IN Germany, 342.
In comparing the small casualty lists with the large
number Of American troops in France, remember
that heretofore only relatively small numbers Of
have zen IN action, the greatest number being division

This but Ion electrified the disc, turning it into a magnet, which held the steel forgings firmly In place. Before the electricity was turned on I could move the parts anout with perfect ease, but after the maf pressed the button they were as tight to the disc as though welded. An- other press of the button started the grndstone to whirling, and sparks like those Of a skyrocket flew out on all sides In an incredibly short time the rough forging shone like silver and was ground into shape.
 Many of the machines have to be bathed in lubricating oil. while engaged in their delicate lathe work and boring At every few steps as you go through the ta2tory great barrels of this oil are to be seen, and the scrap or borings made by the drills are covered with it. This scrap is put through certain pro- cesses so that the oil may be saved to be used again.

The metal of which the guns are made IS all subject to physical and chemical analyses. The steel, which comes in tbe shape of rough forgings for most of the parts, has been carefully made and pounded out In the rough at the biggest steei plants Tn the country. After it reaches the pistol works it goes again into the forges. and enormous steam hammers work the fibers over, and over into homogeneous and unbreakabje mass. The steel is heated and hammered again and again, forging weighing over two pounds being often reduced by this kneading and cutting and polishing into seven ounces by the time it is ready to go into the weapon. All the finishing, boring and rifling of the forgings is done by machines and special tools made for the purpose.
