 Results Since July IS,
 While the proportion of the deaths for the week and compared with the wounded was large, attention was call ed today to the fact that the casualt- l ies being reported now by General PersIning represent an accumulation as 1 the result of the fighting which began | July 15 and it is not to- be assum ed that the ratio of killed and wounded will be maintained when the final tol | of the Marne -Aisne victory is com plete.
 Difficulty in Naming Wounded. l Because of the fact that the Am. 1 ericans were brigaded in the fighting with British and French forces. many | of the wounded were taken to French and British hospitals and the task ot | collecting their names was 3 difficult one. The problem of securing tht ] names of the killed and missing wa: said to be much simpler and this i: | taken here to account for the relative l ly large numbers of killed and missing | reported in the first lists.
