partment officials can offer for the delay
by Gen. Pershing in advising them of the
real extent OF American losses Is that
there has been the greatest difficulty in
collecting them from the various field
hospitals In the last months of the fight
ing. The relatives are not notified until
the lists arrive here each day by cable
Consequently this means that the rela-
tives Of nearly 10000 soldiers are yet
to be notified officially of their death or
injury. This explains why so many have
known OF the deaths or injuries of SOL
diers in France weeks in advance OF the
War Department
While Secretary Baker had no official
explanation to give to-day for the dis
crepancy. unofiicially II was learned that
for weeks past casualties have been
transmitted up TO the capacity OF the
five cables IN use by the War Depart
meBt. This means that 5000 names
have been coming a day. At least ten
words must be sent for each name.
Hereafter until the names are all pub
lished tho daily casualty lists will COM
prise on an average OF 3,000 names, but
Il will be three months before all can be
published even at that rate.

LONDON. Nov. 23.-The Times prints
long leading editorial on president
Wilson's visit 20 Europe" After re-
ferrlng 10 political discussions now go
ing on in America the article continues,
These debates are on the domestic
affairs of the American people. To us
the President is the head not Of party
but OF the people. Even II there is bias
here to one or the other Of the Amer!-
can parties--and there is mott would
not affect our attitude on the President
or the American republic. Wilson has
done incalculabIe services for the allied
cause in the war and his name is one
to conjure with in Europe.
1--WE all are idealists now in inter-
nationa! affairs and look to him to help
US realize these ideals. TO reconstruct
out OF this welter better and fairer
world.
1--WE hope party controversy Will not
prevent him from coming TO Europe. for
even more important than the actual
conference are the discussions by the
allied representatives which must pre-
cede Il. To these Wilson's presence Is
not only desirable but Indispensable"

Presidents Fourteen Points.


America of the fourteen points" merely
means the American people are getting
al grips with the subject. 1t adds:
take for example the freedom OF
the seas, which Is the most thorny OF
all the fourteen points. AS they are be-
ginning to discover in the United States
the term has never yet been accurately
defined. BY extreme Interpretation of
the phrase It would mean complete abol!-
ton of a commercial blockade. BY an
other extreme IL might mean no more
than the abilition of a closed sea,
whether the Black Sea or the Baltic.
with provision for free and unimpeded
navigation in them alike In peace or In
war. Between these extremes there are
a number of middle interpretations.
VIII stand on Blockade.
Let there be no mistake. If what Is
meant as freedom OF the seas be a real,
substantial diminuuon of sea power,
such as would result by the abilition OF
a blockade this country could never
consent 10 IL, least Of all at the end OF
the war, which could never have been
won-or even continued any length of
time-without our sea power. II Is well
to speak plainly on that point to our
American ally, who learned so much m
efficacy of sea power, and America Will
respect us for our plain speaking.
But in this as in all other matters
we do not believe in shibboleths. What
matters is the substance not the name
1t may well be that submarines, mines
and air power have substantially affected
the conditions under which sea power
will be exercised in the future. What
we need is a frank interchange of ideas
and the transference of the discussion
from the realm OF mere words into the
form OF actual concrete proposals.
THAT Is one reason among many why
we are glad President Wilson is coming
to Europe We have as much TO learn
from him as he has to learn from us.
II is certain that from a perfect under
standing between the two great English
speaking peoples the whole world has
most to hope"

Coast Line Preparing To

To Origin Of The Fire

No developments have taken place
that throw any light on the origin of
yesterdays fire which wrecked the
Atlantic Coast Line station. There
has been all kinds of speculation. and
many silly stories and theories have
been advanced, but these are all lack,

Despite the criticism Of thoughtless
persons, 1t is conceded by those in a
position to Judge that the fire was
handled by the department as intel
ligently and effectively as could DO
done. A prominent insurance man
declared today that he was on the
scene from the moment Of the alarm,
and that, in his opinion, the fire de-

man agency could do. The type Of
