Needless Sacrifice of
Lives in Argonne, Rumor

Washington B0reaa
WASHINGTON, Dec. 20. Reports
that American casualties were UNI
necessarily high during the battle Of
the Argonnc and particularly during
the last few days preceding the armis
tice may precipitate general lnvesti-
cation of the handling of American
troops in action in Franco. Persistent
rumors that the Goth New England }
Division was sent into action after its
physical equipment had been depleted
and its morale lowered through pro-
longed combat service nave already
caused Senator Weeks, OF Massachu-
ticulars about casualties in this
division. The Secretary of War in
reply has declined to supply the infor-
nation.
In consequence, Senator Weeks is
now considering the Introduction Of a
resolution, calling upon the War De-
partment for The facts regarding this
and other divisions Meantime, the
Massachusetts Senator viii address the
Senate this week on the subject of
casualties, and viii point out the pc
culiar reticence of the War Depart
ment. which he considers very UNI
fortunate IN view Oh the reported
needless sacrifices of American soldiers
during the last few days of the
Argonne battle.
The Massachusetts Senator is not
disposed to charge American com
manders with faulty tactics, nor is he
disposed to fully credit the rumored
sacrifices Of men, but takes the posi-
ton that the reports are so persistent
that Congress is justified in asking for
the facts in order that the matter may
be accurately presented TO the public.

the Nogales fire department has
loaned to the camp the hand fire
engine and chemical engine that
did service so long before pur-

In the camp are many inflam-

Yesterday Mr.. F. E. Baker re-
turned from California, where
he went a couple of weeks ago

! Mr.. Baker had served in the
British navy some twelve years
as an engineer, and he thought
that he might serve again, but
the examining surgeon for the
British Canadian service in Los
Angeles detected that his right

plicant was rejected on account
of physical disability. He was
given a certificate of rejection,
signed by DR.. w. H. Cumyn, re-
citing that he had been rejected
on account of physical disability
that under present standards
disquaifies him for military SER
vice. If standards are lowered
he may have a chance later.
Then Mr.. Baker tried to enlist
in the United States Engineer
Corps and was rejected there.
He gave it up and went to San
Francisco for a "pasear, where
he had a fine time. He returned
