Americans Have
200 Casualties

Washington, April %. = General
Pershing's first report on the Ger
man assault upon the American and
French forces in the Toul sector Sat
urday is understood to Indicate that
the Americans sustained more than
two hundred casualties and to estimate
the German losses at between three
and four hundred.
1t was learned that the report had
been received, but war department Of
ficials refused to make it public or to
comment upon persistent reports
about the department concerning its
contents. Secretary Baker is under
stood to be awaiting more details be-
fore making an announcement, though
he probably viii lay the information
received before the house military
committee when he appears today to
tell of his trip abroad.
| The Germans claim to have captured
l183 Americans and to have killed and
wounded many more, and so far there
has been no official American answer
| to the claim. This situation will re-
suit in a revival of consideration at
the war department of the proposal
that daily statement be issued from
the headquarters of the American ex-
peditionary forces.
1t is realized that German claims
unless specifically denied from author
litative sources, will be regarded as
statements of fact with inevitable re-
sulting anxiety to the people in this
country. For that reason Secretary
Baker is disposed to reopen the whole
question with General Pershing.
i It has been definitely decided that
/ as soon as American forces in any
considerable numbers are again act
ling as an independent unit, dali!
statement as to its activities will b
issued.

Washington, April %. Price-fixing
in Germany has been failure and
profteering exists everywhere, says
the April bulletin of the bureau of la
Dor statistics. The upper classes are
rolling in wealth while the masses are
in abject poverty.
Not daring to tax the people direct
ly, the bulletin says, money is raised
for the war by floating loans. These
loans, although taken to some extent
by the wealthy classes, are really paid
for by the people who have to pay ex-
orbitant prices. With imports cut off,
the land does not produce enough
properly to sustain life.

VICE HAS NO SEX
SAYS EMINENT DEAN

Placing the blame of an evil-run
world at the door pf the double stand
ard. Dean John P Quinn. pastor OF
ST. Columbias Catholic church at Of
tawa, who lectured at ST. Josephs
last evening. presented in broad, plain
terms the evil that has come upon
men because of woman's position of
servitude and subsection. Vice has
no sex, he proclaimed, and told his
hearers a good woman should demand
of her husband a heart as white as
her own, demand that now is but
seldom met, but which the future
status of woman in governmental af-
fairs shall promulgate. The man Of
brain must succeed the man of Drawn,
and the learned father prophesied the:
wars would cease when woman 10
longer regarded the soldier. the man
of prowess, as hero. Eloquent and
impassioned.~ with delivery which
matches his sincerity and clarity OF
thought, Father Quinn makes ire
movable impress upon the hearts and
minds of his hearers. The church was
filled beyond capacity, $50 chairs be
ing placed in the sanctuary to ac-
commodate the overflow. The choir
rendered beautiful music, the singing
OF the solo parts being particularly
effective.

cupied his brothers pulpit last night,
