definite steps to put into effect an
active schedule of operation. Cap
tains appointed by the chairman will

1000 children which the school de-
partment admits should be in school
and who are in industry. The chill
dren between the ages of IL and II

Thousands of girl war workers still

according to the Home Entertainment
Committee of the War Camp Com

ated to deal with this problem.
While many hundreds of girls have

and Will continue to do so for four
or five years.
These girls come from every State in
the Union and the women of Wash

the committee authorities. to arouse
the interest of the girls in their own
capital They can create and bring
about a feeling OF cooperation and

mtttee is very simple. Little form in

ACCURACY IN
CASUALTY RECORDS.

With the American Army in
France, the recent Marine fighting
has illustrated sharply the difficult
ties in prompt reporting of casual
ties. The army authorities keenly
realize the anxiety prevailing at
home since this first extended action
largely participated in by the Ameri-
can forces, and the whole machinery
of casualty reports has been worked
to the limit within the basic rule of
accuracy before speed.
The system of keeping track of ev-
cry memeber of the American Ex-
poditionary Forces is simply orgamz-
ed, but it is gigantic. 1t radiates
from the central records office where
is kept the complete history of every
officer and man and civilian worker.
Facts concerning every casualty
are rushed by courier to the Central
Records Office, where a check Is
made against his name and record
TO prevent confusion and to identify
him. Then a message is prepared
and checked back and then cabled
to Washington, where the next of
kin is notified and the list published.
The work is done as expeditiously
as possible, and were il not for bat
tie conditions beyond human remedy
the American people might read
each days roll of honor next day.
In trench fighting and in small opera
tons il is possible to make almost
immediate casualty reports, but In
warfare OF movement, Involving large
numbers and extended territory
such as the Marine battle. the task be-
comes difficult and slow. despite the
The Hartford herald. [volume] (Hartford, Ky.) 1875-1926, 1918-08-28

best efforts of the authorities.
The regulations require that ev-
cry report of killed, wounded or
missing must be established beyond
doubt. Unis moving forward for
hours under heavy fire, losing men
on the way, cannot pause to check
casualties. These must come later
from dressing stations, hospitals or
burying parties operating in the
wake of the advancing lines.
Frequently company, battalion or
even regimental records and reports
are destroyed or lost in action. At
Seicheprey a certain American unit
was isolated for nearly two days by
a heavy German bGrrage. Several
members of the unit sacrificed their
lives in an effort to penetrate the
wall of fire. Finally a German raid
ing party captured and made off
with the organizations records. On
another occasion a statistical unit
was bombed out of its position and
its carefully prepared casualty re-
pcrts were scattered over the land
scape
Again replacement troops may be
thrown into action with some or
ganization being reformed for at
tack, the unit commander having no
knowledge of who they are. Thus,
if the records a relost or destroyed
by shell fire or bombing, it becomes
almost impossible to make accurate
casualty reports for days, perhaps
fer weeks.
American wounded often find their
stations and are sent on to French
or British hospitals. They are car
ried on their own rolls as missing
until finally they find their way back
20 their own units or are officially re-
ported at home as missing.
With the assistance of trained ex-
perts, the authorities constantly are
to speed up casualty re-
ports. But they are unwilling to
sacrifice accuracy, so that, as far as
is possible, needless pain and anx-
iety to the family and friends may
be avoided.
