Casualties Of American
Forces In War Estimated
Not to Exceed 100, 900

Washington, Nov. 13.-Ofieials
here estimate that the total casual
ties of the American Expeditionary
Forces in the war will not exceed
100000, including the men killed ii

disease and accidents and the miss
ing who never viii be accounted
for. Some of those who have been
missing probably will be accounted
tor when the prisoners are returned
from Germany.
1t was said today that it probably
will be several weeks before the
record of casualties can be COM
pleted. 1t is regarded as almost
certain that many of the~casualties
in the recent heavy fighting by the
First and Second armies have not
yet been reported, Lists also must
be compiled of unreported -Ameri-
can casualties in British and French
hospitals, especially from among the
United States forces brigaded with

The European embassies in Wash

applications for permission to take
passage for Europe. 1t was ex-
planned today that they have been
obliged to reply that not only is
there still need for governmental
purposes Of all available transporta-

necessity of the strictest conserva-

SO far as known at the american
army headquarters no disposition
has been displayed to block at any

not be simple.
There would have been no sur
