CONSIDERING
CASUALTY RULE
Complaints Numerous and
Wilson Starts 1nvesti-
cation.

Washington. March 12.-President
Wilson today personally considered
the war departments new plan Of is
suing the names of American soldiers
killed, wounded or who die in France,
without their home addresses or 9TH
er marks of Identification. There was
no outward indication that the presi-
dent would reverse the war depart
ment's ruling, which it has been ex-
planned, was made for military rea
sons but it was plain that. protests
from every quarter had grown to ~sucl,
nupbef that the president had~decid-
ed Sp inforns hhnselfsof all the facts.
Although relatives of soldiers men,
toned in the, casualty lists are noti-
fed directly by the war department
hours before, they could read the
newspapers. those who oppose the
new plan maintain that to'publish the
names with home addresses will
stimulate community patriotism and
serve many useful purposes.
1t is possible that a suggested plan
|of issuing the casualty lists twice a
month or once week, might make
it possible to give home addresses of
troops. because the information might
then be SO old as to be valueless to
the enemy. ae9#

lery bombardment of As minutes, and
brought back. much material and in
formation, but captured no prisoners.
1t was the first raid undertaken by
the Americans without the aid of the
French.
The raid was highly successful as
the enemy withdrew many men from
the front line when the bombardment
indicated that a raid might follow.
The raiders reported that American
gunfire had created destruction in the
German positions and had torn gaps
in the enemy barbed wire entangle-
ments. The German batteries came
into action, but accomplished nothing
toward disturbing the progress Of the
raid.
The Americans entered the enemy
trenches behind one side of q ''box"
barrage which moved forward in
front of them. They found numerous
Germans hiding in the dugouts. In
the hand to- hand fighting which fol-
lowed number of the enemy were
killed and wounded and left in the
trenches.
Going far beyond their objective
the raiders penetrated the German
line three hundred yards. A few

be inducted into the service and sent
to universities, colleges and technical
and secondary schools to be instructed
in technical arts until they have ac-
quired such proficiency as will justify
their assignment to the special units
that are being organized in consider
able numbers.
"In accordance with this plan, the
provost marshal general has already
called upon the states for some ten
thousand skilled artisans and will
shortly call upon the states for ten
thousand young men, graduates of
grammar schools, who will be sent
before the first of April to various
technical and other schools through
out the United States for two
months course of training. Regu-
larly thereafter. an increasing stream
of selected men will be sent through
educational and other training insti-
tutions for this purpose.
ITO sum up, it may be said that
there will be no sudden withdrawal of
great numbers of men from the ranks
Of industry and agriculture during
the coming summer. but that men
will be drawn in relatively small
groups throughout the year in such
a way as to create the least possible
interference with industry and agri-
culture"
