CASUALTIES
COME SLOWLY
Every Effort Made to Have Lists Pub.
lished as Soon as Possible
After Pcrshinq
Cables.

United Press Leased Wire Service.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-Unremit-
ting efforts to get American casual
ties to this country and get them
published as quickly as possible have
been made by the war department
ever since American troops began to
take major part in the fighting last
July, Secretary Baker told the GEN
ate military affairs committee today
The committee called Baker and
General March, chief of staff, to ex-
plain delays, inaccuracies and COM
plants OF every sort with respect to
casualty lists.
Baker declared emphatically that
1.-THE war department has never with
held, delayed or held up single
casualty" The complaint of delays
has arisen from the suspicion that
the casualties were being withheld.
I'VE have repeatedly cabled Gen
eral Pershing to do everything pos
sible to get the lists here. We have
adopted every suggestion made to us
that seemed likely to expedite mat
ters,' he said.
Committee members recited to
Baker long list of individual cases
in which relatives were not notified
until long after the casualty occurred.
Baker said there were many ways to
account for individual mistakes, but
declared he could give no blanket
explanation.
Senator Johnson, California, said
that the recent publication of sum
mary of casualties showing American
losses to be about 264,000 indicate
that Pershing has complete list.
THAT is fair inference said
Baker.
Then why can't we get the com
plete list?" asked Johnson.
4 don't know" said Baker. "Troh-
ably it is on the way now, perhaps

Machinery is In Hoticn to Prevent
Brokers From Making Undue
Bran Profits.

Machinery is now in motion to pre-
vent brokers frc1 making undue prof
its in bran. Last January I a rule
was put in effect to prevent profits
in bran price was fixed at the
mills depending on the price of wheat
and other features Then the brok-
ers got into the game and bought the
bran The feeders were prevented
from getting full benefit Of the pro-
visions.
Walter P. Innes, U. S. Food Admin
istrator for Kansas, opened a fight
for improvement. At last the admins
traitors from seven states, including
Kansas, were authorized to meet In
Kansas City and make rules for prof
its to jobbers in bran Later this
standard Of profits was approved ma
tionally, except east of Ohio.
Following are the new rules: Job
bers may charge g profit of fifty
cents a ton for handling bran in
car lots, 81 ton IN less than
car lois: $50 if delivered to retail
ers. Retailers may advance the price
So a ton if sold at their doors, or 81
ton If they are required to deliver.
Mi.lers may add jobbers' profit in
selling to retailers and consumers in
lots of one ton or more, and they
ney add retailers profit to the mill
price in selling to consumers in less
than one ton lots"
These rules are official and have
been given out by the .. S. Food Ad-
ministraticn- Any overchaTges should
be reported to Walter P. lines, Q. s.
Food Administrator for Kansas,
Wichita, Kan In making reports CON-
plsinants should attach bill of sale
so as to prove the point The price
at TIE mill is about S26.60 or s27
:on Unsacled- Sacks are very ex-
)ensive because ilte. from which they
are made, must be shipped from In
dia- They are worth about % cents
each 1t takes twenty sacks to sack
a ton of bran, although that price
fpctuftes and has dropped as low
as p cents a sack this winter. Any
figures if he is getting a square deal
ard should report accordingly. The
most profitable way for him to buy
is from the mill direct in his own
only fifty cents a ton can be charged
