tion Of Names.

Washington. March 1.-THE war de-
partment has ruled thar the military
casualty lists to be made public ia
newspapers shall not include the emer-
gency addresscs--the names and ed
dresses of relatives or friends.
The committee on public informa-
tion, Of which George Creel is chair
man, has refused to put out the cas-
ualty lists through it's news channels
unless they include the emergency adj
dress.
The committee takes the ground
that a mere list Of names without
means of Identification IL not public
information.
Orders from the White House may
be necessary to stralghten out the
matter.
Reports of casualties continue to ar
rive at the war department and have
been offered 10 the comtysftee on pub
lie information In Shr.dged form for
dissemination through the regular
news channels. They merely give the
mems names and ranks.
When Mr.. Creel and the chiefs of
the news division learned that merely
the names were to be given out they
decided that the committee would NOT
publish the lists.
