NEARING AN END
4O,44O Unveri6ed Casualties in Gen.
trail Office Dec. II

Washington, Dec 17-Gen. Per-
shing cabled the war department yes
terday that practically complete re-
ports of deaths in action among the
expeditionary forces should reach the
department by Dec. 20, and of severe
ly wounded by Dee. 27.
Gen. Pershing said that the number
Of unreported casualties in process of

vided as follows: Killed in action,
800; died of wounds, 275; died of
disease, 353; accidentally killed, 81;
severely wounded in action, 29,371.
These include all suspense cases

RED CROSS NOTES

All honor to the faithful 70 who
met at the Armory Tuesday after
noon and worked busily on the gar
ments soon to go overseas! 1t was
voted that the meeting next week
should come on Thursday, the day
after Christmas, instead of the day
before.
The following extract is taken
from a letter from American Red
Cross headquarters: "We wish to adj
wise you that there will be great need
for all the sweaters and socks that
can be produced by the Red Cross
workers during the winter, as there
will be hundreds of thousands of men
exposed to all sorts of weather. And
we wish to urge you to hasten as
much as possible the production of
all knitted articles, particularly sweat
ers, for the present"
Extracts were read from a letter
from Walter W. Husband, giving in
teresting notes about his work for
the Red Cross in the relief of Amer
lean prisoners. The total amount
of food sent each prisoner month
was fairly satisfying, as will be seen
from the following list, but when it
was delayed for days and perhaps
weeks en- route the soldiers without
doubt became extremely hungry:
Total foI four weeks: Four lbs.
corned beef, lbs. roast beef, 2 lbs.
salt pork, 8 lbs. salmon, lbs. corned
/ beef hash, cans pork and beans, 2
lbs. dried beans, cans tomatoes, 6
cans corn, cans peas, 16 lbs. hard
bread, lb. rice, lb. butter, 1 quart
evaporated milk, lbs. sugar, 2 lbs.
coffee, X lb. cocoa, 2 lbs. prunes,
lbs. jam, l lb. raisins or figs, 1 lb
chocolate or candy, Il lb. salt, pint
of vinegar, bar of soap, 800 cigar
cites or tobacco equivalent. The
contents of the parcels may be
changed from time to time as cir.
cumstances dictate.

THE JU-HI-oL
The First Number of the Second
Volume Appears

Volume 2, No. of the JIu-Hi-Ol,
the publication of the boys and girls
of the Junior high school of St.
Johnsbu1y, has made its appearance
and is highly creditable number.
The group picture of the board of
editors appears as the cover design
and the little paper is well-filled with
poetical and prose contributions,
school notes and generous amount
of local advertising Short prose
articles are contributed by Charlotte
Moody, Edith Vernon, Dorothy Fol-
lansby, Dorothy Baxter, Lillian Lu-
cas-, while Christine Braley and Ed
win Wilkins have written poetry. A
timely peace cartoon is a novel and
clever feature of a school paper.
The present school enrolment is
JOG and among the school activities
it is interesting to note that the boys
in the manual training department
have just completed 40 dozen wooden
splints for the Red Cross surgical de-
partment and are now working on six
folding bedside tables.

WILSON DECIDES
TO VISIT ENGLAND
AerOplane Service from
Paris to London Through

Copyright cable by James NJ. Tuohy

Paris, Dec. 17-It is definitely set
tied that the British delegation for
preliminary peace negotiations will
arrive here at the end of this week.
It will consist of Mr.. Lloyd George,
Mr.. Bonar Law, Mr.. Balfour and
Labor representative, who will prob
ably be George Barnes, Labor mem
her of the cabinet, who joined Mr..
Lloyd George in the Coalition move
ment.
The delegation will be accompanied
by the Dominion Premiers, Sir Rob-
ert Borden (Canada), and William E.
Hughes (Australia), and Gen. Sir
Louis Botha, Premier of South At
rica, the three representing British
colonial interests.
Lord Northcliffe arrived here to-
day. His purpose is to keep close
watch on the proceedings of the Brit
ish delegation. He will try to pre-
vent any weakening of the conditions
which he deems essential to a peace
OF justice, the foremost of them be-
ing the eXaction, at all costs, of an
adequate war indemnity from Ger
many.
An agreement to impose indemnity
seems likely to be easier than to re-
cover it. The real crux in the pro-
cecdings will deal with its equitable
distribution among the different
claimants.
1t is a French saying that you must
share an inheritance with person
before you can understand the true
character of that person. Division
of German indemnity may prove to
be psychological searchlight which
will painfully test human nature.
Lord Northcliifc, first and last, has
played the biggest individual part in
the war in Great Britain He will
be the leading external influence on
the conference.
President Wilson's decision to visit
England on his return home is re-
garded as significant of his confidence
that negotiations in the peace pre-
lminaries will be conducted to a sat-
isfactory issuq
O1hclal arrangements for the Brit
lsh press arc in progress of compile
ton on comprehensive scale. There
will be a press centre, with a res
taulant, close to the British delega-
tlons, with regular aeroplane service
to London twice daily. Special
Paris-London telephones will be in
stalled for the British correspondents.
Establishment of a regular courier
service has also been arranged.
