It is admitted that the German councils

suggests that the new step IS part Of th'

HUGE CASUALTYLIST
SHOCKS WASHINGTON
Washington Explains That Fierc-
est Fighting Was Just Before
End of Hostilities.
sv Associated Press TO Every Evening

n =
Washington. Nov. 25.-War Depart
ment officials frankly admit they we're
shocked al the final casualty figures
cabled by General Pershing.
They are more especially disturbed
over the fact that 50 many deaths re-
main TO be officially reported.
Some arrnv officers OF high rank hau
hoped that additional reports OF men
killed in action or dead Of wounds would
not exceed 1000 VIII the numner IN
excess OF those published Is 1856. The
number of men who died Of disease Is
stated by General Pershing as l4,Sil, OF
whom only 1857 have been published.
Deaths unclasslied were given by
General Pershing as :, 2,204. Il IS assumed
that these ordinarily are carried IN the
official lists IS deaths from accidents
and other causes, of which ! ,5S3 have
been published, leaving OIL yet 70 be
listed.
If the figures cabled by General Per-
/ shing include casualties among the marines
which officials assume to be the case, the
| total number of deaths vet to be listed
/ is reduced from p ,671 TO 2O,3O7, the
separate casualty list of the marines
showing 20 date 1864 deaths from all
causes.
Surprise was expressed over the fact
that General Pershing gives the number
of Americans taken prisoners and missing
as 1923, while lists published TO date
give S,34S as missing, or S,5S2, including
marines, a reduction of $3.50. This will
probably be explained on the ground
that many Americans reported missing
have since turned up. Officials are greatly
pleased that so small number Of
Americans were taken prisoners.
The total number OF wounded carried
in published lists 10 date, including
, .42S marines, IS 1926, while General
Pershing gives the number Of wounded
as l79.625, leaving l32,700 yet to be
officially listed and published on this
side. It is believed that when al lists
have been received they viii show that
the vast majority Of the men received
onlv minor or relatively slight wounds

Sergeant Forbes B. Lampman, son
of Luellen Lampman Of Columbus,
O., and nephew Of H. r. Lampman
of this city, had a thrilling exper-
ience while on a voyage across the
Atlantic, full account Of which was
published in the Paris Martin. The
following is the story as it appear
ed in the Partisan Daily:
The story of how q handful OF
American soldiers, under the COM
mand of young college graduate
with only a Plattsburger's military
experience, faced and conquered the
perils Of an ocean voyage. which for
horrors is comparable to stories of
the sea by Jack London, was told
yesterday by an officer on board the
ship where the fight took place. The
story deals with a transport adrift in
an Atlantic gale with 1900 mules and
horses below decks, loose in the storm
and with the grit and determination
displayed by the "anateur" soldiers
to such good effect, that the trans
port came to a. friendly harbor with
only one casualty. y.

SAYS HOT WATER
WASHES POISONS
FROM THE LIVER
Everyone should drink hot water
with phosphate In It. -
before breakfast.

To feel as fine as the proverbial
fiddle. we must keep the liver washed
, clean, almost every morning, to pre-
vent its sponge.like pores from clog
ging with indigestible material, sour
bile and poisonous toxins, says q noted
physician.
II you get headaches, it's your liver.
II you catch cold easily, it's your liver.
If you wake up with bad taste. furred
tongue, nasty breath or stomach be-
comes rancid, it's your liver. Sallow
skin, muddy complexion, watery eyes
all denote liver uncleanliness. Your
liver Is the most important, also the
must abused and neglected organ Of
the body. Few know its function or
how to release the dammedup body
waste. bile and toxins. Most folks
re3ort to violent calomel, which is q
dangerous, salivating chemical which
can only be used occasionally because
It accumulates In the tissues, also
attacks the bones.
Every man and woman, sick or
we'll. should drink each morning be-
fore breakfast, glass Of hot water
with q teaspoonful of limestone phos-
phate in It, to wash from the liver and
bowels the previous days indigestible
material, the poisons, sour bile and
toxins: thus cleansing, sweetening
and freshening the entire alimentary
canal before putting more food into
the stomach.
Limestone phosphate does not re-
strict the diet like calomel, because it
can not salivate, for it is harmless and
you can eat anything afterwards. 1t
is inexpensive and almost tasteless, and
any pharmacist will sell you quarter
pound, which Is sufficient for DEM
onstration of how hot water and lime
stone phosphate cleans, stimulates and
freshens the liver. keeping you feeling
