CREEL SCORES NEW
us. CASUA[T'YL|STS
Sends Protest to President
Against New Policy of Gen.
soring Addresses of Men.
RULE CAUSES COMPLAINT

George Creel. chairman of the COM
mittee of public information, has sent
to President Wilson an extended memo
randum containing protest against the
War Departments new policy of with
holding addresses of soldiers contained
in casualty lists.
Previously the committee had declined
to handle for the War Department the
bare names of soldiers wounded, killed
or dead from disease in France, on tfG
ground that they are valueless to news
papers and to the public.
President Wilson is studying the
question from all its angles. A report
is expected from Gen. Pershing. who
has been asked for further information.
The War Department had stated that
the ruling was made as the result of
request from Gen. Pershing.
1t is understood that Mr.. Creel takes
the newspaper point of view, in his
memorandum to the President, that
Withholding the addresses only causes
unnecessary anxiety because of the
duplication of names.
Lessons Interest Here.
1t also has been stated by government
officials that the Withholding of the
addresses is apt to give rise to un-
founded rumors of casualties, serves to
alienate personal interest of the public
in the affairs of the American expedi-
tionary force and that their publication
would serve the enemy in no way.
Mr. Creel's office has made a close
study of the methods of keeping valu
able information from the enemy. 1t
is understood that Mr.. Creel has as
sured the President that in his opinion.
no purpose is served by suppressing
the addresses.
Criticism of the new policy of the
War Department in making public cas-
ualty lists without giving the addresses
of the men killed or wounded was eX-
pressed by several speakers on the noor
of the House yesterday. 1t was en-
nhasized that frequently great distress
is caused to relatives or friends through
a dunlication of names, which could be
avoided through giving nome addresses.
Flooded With Protests.
Members of Congress generally are
heine flooded with protests from the
,eoDle who have sons. brothers. hus-
hands or fathers in the service.
In the House Representatives Nc
Kenzie of Illinois. republican cited the
case of a Montana man whose name,
appearing on a casualty list. was
IDENTICAL with that of a boy in the
Aruv from an Illinois town. He was
ioined by Representatives Little of
Kansas and Graham of Illinois. repuo-
licans. in insisting that names should

REPRESENTATIVES, u Glass of Virginia.
Garrett of Tennessee and Humphreys
of Mississippi, democrats. defended
the action of the department, saying
me decision had been reached by men
who knew more about the question than
members of Congress. Representative
Garrett said the newspapers had failed
to impress upon the people the fact
that the department promptly notified
the relatives of each man whose name
appears or a list.

Would DISPOSE of Bill Today.

Tennessee, chairman OF the legislative
subcommittee of the appropriations
committee. who is in charge of the bill
and the committee amendment, an
nounced on the floor today that he
hoped to dispose of the Legislative bill
today. This indicated that the amend
ment carrying the salary increase VIII

ably be voted favorably upon before

Grafton of Federal Employees. That bill
provided for horizontal increases of from
, to 30 per cent for employees who are
now receiving up to $500. Hearings were
held upon the Keating bill, following which
the amendment offered today was drawn.
The fact that the recommendations made
today are for from 6 to % per cent on all
salaries I'D 10 and including $4,000, the
percentage of increase is really what was
asked for in the keating bill and the
committee action is a strong Endorsement

ing of Colorado in behalf of govern
ment employees
The salary increase amendment,
which was taken up this afternoon aft
er calendar Wednesday had been set
aside, provides that all civilian en-
ployeS of the governments of the United

and less than S2.12O are to receive ad-
ditional compensation at such yearly
rate as may be necessary to bring their
salaries. plus the increase, up TO s2.120.

LITTLE PLEASURE IN TRAVEL
German Trains Creep Along in Dark ness for Fear of Bombs of
 Allied Aviators.

Special precautions against air raids are now being taken on the Ger man railways in those districts ,-espe- cially liable to aerial bombardments by the allies, Railway Age states. The Palatinate railways, in particular, are adopting precautionary measures, and writer in the Lokal Anzeiger who recently travelled on this system de- scribes the darkening methods adopt ed at night.
 "For hours," he writes, "the train traveied as though in a dark cave, without lights, without conductors, without any station names being called out when the train stopped. When every lamp is eXtinguished throughout the countryside, and the towns and vil- lages, as though constrained by agony. have closed their shops, the journey Op- presses ones mind and is nowise reas- suring. One goes on in uncertainty, facing danger.
 Everywhere placards indicating how to behave during air raids show that one is in the ayiator's territory. Slow ly, very slowly, the train proceeds on its journey; in a river alongside the line one still sees the locomotive which, togther with its train, plunged into the water on the occasion of a recent acci- dent. A train with broken windows not pane has remained intact-passes near us; another train passes all black ened and half consumed by fire. And on arriving at the end of this dismal journey the first question heard by the traveller is, Will they come tonight ?"

Effect of Poison Gases on Troops.

Certain gases have for their more immediate object, the irritation of the eyes (the lachrymatory gases, one part in a million of air being eifective), tenn porarily binding the victim; others are designed for the irritation of the nose (the "sneeZe-gaSesO, making it almost impossible for the fighter to overcome the tendency to throw off his mask; and others again, for the production of burns when in contact with the flesh, which are of most distressing character, and, even if they do not cause death, incapacitate the victim for service for d period or months. The last-named gases are likewise toxic and lachrymatOry to q high degree. The so-called mustard gas," compound somewhat similar in character to mustard oil, but far more of an irritant, has proved par ticularly destructive, and doubtless ac counts for many of the casualties ill recent attacks.-IIenry P.

GOLD MINING HIT BY WAR
Many Properties That Were Profitable Have Been Forced to Close Down
 Temporarily.

Gold is one of the war victims. The was has forced down, in market value, measured by human labor, many kinds of property and most of the staple commodities, until some gold mines which yielded fair profit before the war have become temporarily useless to their owners. It costs so much to operate them that they cannot be worked without loss.
 There has been change in the value of gold itself, in the money of great na- tions which have maintained their monetary systems on the specie basis, while almost everything else has gone up. The result is that any given num- Der of ounces of gold mined will buy much less material used in mining, such as explosives, drills, pumps and other machinery, and will pay for few CT days work. This change is still going on and the position of the gold mining companies grows less and less secure and sound.

Benefits of War,

 "Then-we know the joys of savin', which we maybe hadn't saw till the roarin' beast of Berlin got too handy with his paw; so, we've somehow, hitched our waggin to an everlastin' star, that will keep right on a-shinin' when we've clean forgot the war;"
