bearish factors. After opening unchanged

Discontinue Issuance
of Casualty Lists

WASHINGTON, March 9-Names
of the next of kin and emergency ad-
dresses of soldiers whose names ap-
pear on the casualty lists of the Amer
ican forces in France will be withheld
in the future as the result of war
department order published today.
The announcement explained that
the step had been urged by General
Pershing and the purpose of the ord
er was to keep valuable information
from the enemy. Department Off
cials disclaimed any intention of sup
pressing reports of heavy casualties
abroad and said that lists of the dead
and wounded without addresses will
be sent to the committee on public in
formation for distribution as usual.
The committee announced that it
would discontinue issuing the lists,
taking the position that names of men
killed or wounded would be worthless
to newspapers unless the addresses
were given.
The committee issued notice to
the press that hereafter all informa
ton regarding casualties must be OBJ
tanned from the war department.

Lots belonging to nonresident own

City Gardner Murphy announced
this policy Saturday.
A number of persons have said

been ignored or the owners have set
a price as high as IS a year rental

that has no effect we shall plow the
lot and turn it over to the person who
first reports it and gives information

said.
Murphy says there is some prof
iteering on the part of resident lot
owners who are charging more than
the proper rental fee.
