DEPARTMENT FIRM

The war department continues
firm in its attitude that in the
announcement of casualties only
names should be published and
no mention made OF units or any
other identifying words. 1t OBJ
jects to the publication of adj
dresses or even the names Of next
of kin of the killed or injured.
In support of this contention
the department announces that
French officials have requested
General Pershing that nothing
more than names be published
and have said that the knowledge
OF any facts relating to or con
nected with the men in the
trenches, so as to perhaps reveal
units, is often of great value tc

selected by placing each candidate on
record as TO whether he favored the'
return Of the saloons or not. was the,i
declaration of ono man who took part

He stated to The Times that thel
churches believed that with great
moral issue a stake they wers justified
in informing their people what candi-
dates were wet" and what candidates
We're dry" This was the one and only
reason for the printing OF the slate
it IS stated. and the declaration IS,
borne out by the facts.
It was denied that anything vas
printed or said to give the impression
that the slate was selected by Governor
Goodrich The governors proclama- ?.

voters TO vote today
The fact that there was nothing AN,

ommended-that portion which favor
