Washington, Aug. 5.--America to-
day faced its first great casualty list.
The list bore the names of 459 men
who died in action: so who died OF
wounds and 49, killed. injured or
missing. More names will follow.
Since the American lads went into
action ut the very heart OF the great
counter drive General FoCh hurled
upon the German hordes on July is,
Washington has known that the
crucial test of all wars was about to

least until a concensus of expression
has come to the capital. From every
side, however, up 10 a late hour to-
night the reply of the American pco-
pie rang true. IL told of courage, of
faith that banishcs fear and of n
growing will that the misIed German
nation be punished.
Official Washington went about its
work today in grim mood. The
news had been known in many quar-
tiers. was expected by the thousands
of people thrown In daily contact
with the throng of military men now
attached here. But though the news
was expected, its expectancy was in
nowtse discounted. Washington to-
day has bur one thought---the kaiser
and his ilk must be destroyed.
Among prominent men of Wash
ington comment was withheld. Al
though no question of the attitude of
the American people has been raised
since President Wilson defined the
course this country must pursue.
there was today only thoughts of how
each man and woman can aid to end
the war-a war which America has
said can end only in victory. Secre-
