of the war was to stimulate those

not despair. nor do they collapse"
THE German people need not be
ashamed of the outcome of the war"
he continued. "but they will require

(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON. Dec. 3-Secretary
Baker, appearing before the senate
military committee today. explained
the delay in completing the publica-
tion of American casualties overseas,
said he thought most Of the unreport-
ed names were those of men slightly
wounded and would come by mail.
Senators were unable to understand
why only something over 100000
names have been published when 1t
had been officially announced that the
casualties number 262,693. The Sec
retary said every effort consistent
with accuracy was made to prevent
delay and that General Pershing had
been urged repeatedly to expedite. his
list, giving the names Of the dead first.
"The department from the begin
ning." Mr.. Baker said. has never held
UP. withheld OF delayed giving out
casualty lists. Our policy has been to
give complete statement as soon as
possible"
General March, chief of staff, and
assistant secretary Keppel, were with
the secretary. Mr.. Keppel said the
system of obtaining and verifying cas-
ualty reports in France had been slow
at first and if it had to be done over
again it probably would be done diff
ferently.
General March discussing demobili-
zation, said General Pershing was Sc
lecting units for the occupational
force Of about 1,250,00O men and that
all the other American soldiers in
France would be brought home as rap.
idly as shipping could be provided.
10000 in Fighting.
Secretary Baker said many com.
plants had been based upon misunder-
standings and suspicious that the lists
were being held up and that distress
had been caused among relatives by
inaccurate reports in soldiers private
letters.
Senator johnson of California asked
what was holding up the names of the
men included in the total number al
ready announced.
II don't know why" Secretary Bak-
er answered. "We're getting them as
rapidly as the cables are able to car
ry them. I think the major part OF
those missing are of slightly wounded,
and coming by mail"
Senator Johnson asked how many
Americans had been in actual fighting
up to the signing of the armistice.
Secretary Baker estimated $50, 600 and
General March added that it was
above that number but somewhat
less than one million"
General March said, while actual
fighting was in progress reports of
casualties were slow.
Senator Hitchcock conceded that
while fighting was in progress the re-
ports might be slow but added:
But 1t stopped November II. and
we don't know what has happened"
Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, said
that soldiers mail has been lawfully
delayed" and that there must be

Baker disagreed and also said he
doubted il a statement by Senator
New of Indiana that it takes an aver
age of IL days to get answers of let
ters to the department could be true.
