CASUALTY LIST.
Names Given Out as Soon as
Received by Depart
ment.

WASHINGTO.N. June ia ma
rine corps casualty list Sunday con
tains the names OF two enlisted men,
who died from wounds received in
action and Of ten others who were
wounded in action.
While no official explanation was
given for the decision OF the depart
ment TO advise the country weekly
OF the exact total OF casualties since
the landing Of the first American
forces i'm France last June. il is un-
derstood that it resulted largely
from widespread reports that cas-
ualties had been very heavy and
that total figures were being with
held from the public. IL had been
explained at the department that
the daily lists sent by Cen. PERISH
ing are issued with as little delay as
possible. TIE casualties are 50 scat
tered in the lists that they will not
give information OF value TO the
enemy. but this does not mean that
any apprecia Bile numbers are held
back. After heavy actions, such as
that az Cantigny. it requires several
days 10 check up the casualties and
ca BILE them 10 the department.
American troops have been in the
branches several months and now
hold sectors at several points along
the western front. In addition
many American units are brigaded
with the French and British and
have been i'm heavy fighting since
the German drive began in March
-
the front line last November for
training and soon afterwards they
took over a trench sector perma-
nentlv other units went into the
trenches for final training with the
French later and finally took over
tors so that the total frontage now
held by the Americans ranks second
10 that Of the French and British
armies
