President Wilson Appeared
Symbolic Figure As He
Stood on Bridge Of Ship
By HI. ID. Jacobs

Omitted Press staff correspondent
Hoboken, N. j., Dec. 4.--President
Wilson presented a symbolic figure as
he stood en- the bridge of the George
Washington while the great liner swung
from her BERTH into rhe tide of the
North river today.
Outlined against the bank of gray
mist that ovcrhung the water, his shoul-
ders seemed to carry the weight of
the hopes and future Of the whole ma
tion and the spirit Of hundred mil
lion people seemed to merge into the
personality of this one man.
From the moment the last line was
cast off, the voices of the thousands
of people on the piers and docks blend
ed with the roar of steam sirens into
mighty din that continued until the
George Washington faded into the fog
Of the lower river.
Punetuating this ovation were the
reports Of the presidential salute. fir

TO GET CASUALTIES
Secretary Baker DecaIres No
Casually Has Ever Been
Held Up.

Washington, Dee 4.-Unremisting ef.
forts to get American casualties to this
government and get them published as
quickly as possible have been made by
the war department ever since troops
began to take a major part in the fight
ing last July, Secretary Baker told the
senate military affairs committee to-
day.
The committee called aker and GEN
eral March, chief Of staff, to explain
delays, inaccuracies and complaints of
every sort with respect to the casualty
lists.
Baker declared emphatically that
" the war department has never with
held, delayed or held up single cas-
ualty.v
"We have repeatedly cabled General
Pershng TO do everything possible to
&c, the lists here. We have adopted
every suggestion made to us that
seemed likely to expedite matters, "
he said
Gave Long List.
Committee members recited to Baker
long list Of individual cases in which
relatiyes were not notified until long
after the casualty occurred. Baker said
there were many ways to account for
individual mistakes, but declared he
could give no blanket explanation.
Senator johnson, California, said that
the recent publication Of a summary Of
casualties, showing American loses to
be about 264,000 indicated that Per.
shiDg has a complete list.
"That is a fair inference" said Ba-
ker.
"Then, why can't we get the com.
pIete lists'' asked johnson.

Branches are to be formed In every

to Doctor Sheldon Leavitt. president
Of the league. who calls himself a

Twice day 20,OO0.OOO optimists

The enemy shall be mentally annihl-
