".
Washington, March 1.-THE war
department gives no indication OF
yielding in it's determination to with
hold the home addresses Of soldiers
killed or wounded, or who died Of
other causes in France.
Basing its position on the objection
the French government made TO
General Pershing against the Ameri-
can method of issuing casualty lists,
the department intends to meet OBJ
iections in congress and from the
public with the answer that the old
system betrays valuable military in
formation to the enemy, and the fact
that nearest relatives of soldiers are
officially notified hours before they
could get the information from the
newspapers. ... H.
The committee on public informa-
ton maintains its stand that the
mere names of soldiers, without home
address to identify them to neighbors
and friends or prevent confusion with
ether men of similar name, are so de-
void of news value, that it viii not
issue the lists. Therefore, the lists
will continue to be issued once a day
from the office of Adjutant General
Mccain.
Follow French Plan.
Pointing out that the French pub
fish no casualty list at all, but mere
ly notify the relatives, the war de-
partment officials give as their ex-
PLANTATION Of the new move, that the
enemy by scanning the complete
casualty lists as dhey have previously
been issued is enabled to piece out a
fair idea of the identity of the troops
confronting him.
Although, under the new plan, rela-
tives will be notified and, officials ex-
pect, publication of names of troops
will find their way into local news
papers, it is felt that the publica-
tons will be widely scattered and
that the task of assembling the names
from all the newspapers Of the coun-
try and consolidating them into mill
tary information would be such q
tremendous task that from the as
poets Of a spy system it is practically
impossible.
