 Men Lost at Sea

Washing ton, August 11.=Casualties in the army and marine corps made public today, aggregated 43a. bringing the total for the week to 4s16, and the total since American troops landed in France to 2o,112. Most of the cas- ualties for the week represented losses in the fighting on the Marne- Aisne front
 Of the total casualties announced today s45 were army men and ST ma rines while of the weeks total, which included today's lists, 41sS were army men and 71S marine. The weeks az gregate of 1916 compared with 14so the week before.
 The 20,112 casualty total, deaths, in cluding 291 lost at sea, men killed in action, dead Of wounds. disease, acci- dents and other causes, numbered 77l6 army men, 6S83: marines, S33. The wounded aggregated 10,874--army men, 904S: marines, 1926, and the missing, including prisoners. 1522-army men 143: marines, 9l.
 Of the weeks increase. deaths From all causes aggregated 1572. as com pared with 651 the week before; the wounded numbered 2610. compared with 732 the previous week and the missing and prisoners 7s4, compared with "A the week before.
 While the proportion of the deaths for the week as compared with the
 wounded was large, attention was called today to the fact that the cas- ualries reported now by General Per- shing represent an accumulation as the result of the fighting which be gan July IS and it Is not to be as- sumed the ratio of killed and wound ed will be maintained when the final toll of the Marne-Aisne victory is complete.
 Because the Americans were brig. ed in the fighting with British anl French troops, many of the wounded were taken to French and British hos pitals and the task Of collecting their names was difficult one. The proo, lem of securing the names of the killed and missing was said to be much sim, pier and this is taken here to ac' count for the relatively large mum. bers of killed and missing reported 1T the first lists
