General March gave out amended
casualty reports. giving the official

were unintelligible from the cableSram
from General Pershing. General March

March said he did not think the num-
Der Of prisoaers would be increased
materially by the new figures and in

265S
Today's summary adds 1910 to the
number killed in action or dead OF
wounds; 1898 to the number dead Of
disease; 1880 to the number wound
ed, and the number Of missing in ac-
tion is increased from Il60 to 1920.
The large increase In the latter classi-
1ication is attributed to belated re-
ports from all commands on the check
ing up Of missing men.
Send 10000 Home in December.
The war department expects to
bring back home in the month of De-
cember between 10000 and 10000
men. General March said. To accom-
p}ish this 1t will use in addition to
army transports and converted cargo
boats enough old battleships and cruis-
ers to furnish an additional carrying
capacity OF $4,000.
Shipping experts expect to trans
port 100000 men month when the
demobiliZation is in full swing.
The early rehabilitation in the
United States will release approx
mateIy 100000 from overseas and in
home camps.
To date 1876 men have been mus
tered out Of the camps in this country
The schedule under which the gov
ernment is working calls for the re-
lease Of an average of 900 men pei
camp per day and General March said
every effort would be made to main
tain the average.
Cut Army Appropriations.
Revised estimates for the coming
year resulted in cutting the $4,000
100000 army appropriations to less
than S3,000.000, 900.
General Pershing has been directed
by President Wilson to confer the dis
tinguished service medal on Generals
Bliss. Liggett and Bullard. .,
General March corrected an erron-
eous impression that the twenty
seventh and thirtieth divisions, re-
ported as withdrawn from the British
lines, had been designated for early
return to the United States. These two
divisions have been returned to PERISH
ing's command and have not been as
signed for transportation home.
Plans for transport OF troops include
tho use OF hospital ships for the
