WAsHINaroN. March S.---Tho Ameri-
can people hereafter are denied all de-
tailed information in casualty lists from
the American front in France. The ad-
dresses OF the men, date OF deaths and
wounds. and even the branch of the
service to which they belong are to be
omitted. Only the names are to be
given wthou, Identification whatever.
An order issued to-day by the War
Department to this effect resulted IN a
refusal of the Oauaqhttes .ol public IN.
formation, headed 7by George creel, 70
handle lists prepared in this form On
the ground that they were absolutely
valueless for tho public. and has led 20
temporary suspension of the casually

The frs. news OF the new order was
given this afternoo'. when the Cre,l
committee issued tho following:
thereafter the Committee on Public
Information will not issue casualty ll-ts
Correspondents, editors and the public
should apply in the future directly TO
the War uapa rtment for all Information
concerning casualties"
Mr.. Creel. when asked for an eNplaua-
ton, said:
This order was a military one made
by the Chief OF Stafr and approved by
the Assistant Secretary OF War There
was nothing for us to do but to submit
to it,"
Adjt. Gen. Mccain explained that the
new order would restrict the Information
merely to the names Of those killed and
wounded. He said his duty was to carry
out orders OF the Chief of STAFF without
question and that the public would have
to be satisfied
He did explain, however. that a strong
recommendation by Gen. Pershina made
within the last day or two had prompted
the action. The reason urged was that
the casualty lists that had been issued,
In Gen. Pershing's opinion. had contained
information OF value to the enemy. These
lists have shown how many men the
Germans succeeded in gassing on spec-
fic occasions. Nothing. he said. could I've
more satisfactory TO the Germans.
No reason was advanced by Gen. Nc
Cain why even the addresses should be
withheld. Persons who were ready TO
concede the point with respect to dates
and branch Of service argued that no
military secret seemed to be disclosed
in such addresses.

Is ready to oppose any considerable tax
