WILL WITHHOLD
CASUALTY LIST
FROM PUBLIC
Suspension Of Publication
of Dead and Wounded
Awaiting Decision.

Publication of daily casualty lists by
the War Department has been sus-
pended until Secretary Baker shall de-
eide whether the new order providing
that Gen. Pershing's headquarters shall
issue all news OF the troops In France.
prohibits the issue Of q casualty rec
ord by the War Department.
'Officials Of the War Department are
Of the opinion that the order is not
intended to forbid the publication OF
the lists in Washington. II Is expect
ed that they will be issued again as
soon as Secretary Baker interprets the
order definitely.
Acting Chief of Stan March and Act
ing Secretary OF War Crowell decided
on the discrimination OF the casualty
statements after a lengthy conference.
1t is thought possible that Presi-
dent Wilson may intervene in the mat
ter and make the announcement or
the casualties possible, II II is not
practicable to obtain an early decision
from the Secretary OF War.
The order said news of persons and
policies under the Pershing expedition
should be announced only by Per-
shing's headquarters. Gen. March be-
lieves that the order forbids the is
sue Of casualty lists as they concern
persons under headquarters turis-
diction.
Other army men think that Gen.
March's strict Interpretation of the or
der exceeds the spirit of the message.
Unless the War Department resumes
the issuance Of casualty lists. no state
ments OF the killed or wounded at the
front will probably be given to the
public other than the individual no.
tees to the next to kin Of the de-
ceased. 1t would be impossible for
press associations and newspapers to
obtain the cable facilities to handle
the large casualty lists that are soon
expected.

This scheme. which has been. before
the Board officials a month or more,
takes advantage of the fact that the
huge freighters have less draft than
beam. Although too wide to pass
through the canal there would be suf-

The ships will be halved, as in the

Because the 800 tons ships now con-

the entire shipbuilding program, even
the wooden ships are to be made
large, increased to 5000 tons. This
will be, it was said, merely an en-

the heads of the devoted 'worshippers
many tons of solid masonry. 1t was
this that caused such a great loss OF
life.
'.As the Ambassador entered the
church where but a few hours be-
fore had been gathered the worship

that followed the explosion. The
amount of debris remaining just as
it fell on the floor covered the en-
tire space between the lofty columns
supporting the arches at each side.
Only a miracle could have saved from
death or serious injury those who
escaped the falling mass. The scene
was that of some horrible shambles
and it was not until well into the
night that all the bodies were re-
covered. Upon the floor in many
places could still be seen the blood Of

the Nebraska publisher, George NJ.
Graham, OF Buffalo, and others, ap-
pealed to the conference to recon-
mend Congressional action looking
toward suppression of German papers.
IF 1 were President Of the United
States there wouldn't be another Ger
man language paper printed in this
country tomorrow" Young declared
He apologized for being so bitter, but
said he had been fighting the German
menace in the Northwest for a year,
and knew the extent of theh danger.

Z Things of poison In our homes"
was the way Metcalfe described the
German language papers. He pre-
dicted that 'if the war lasts a year
longer there will not be one German
paper left to use the mails" Metcalfe
told of conditions in Nebras ska, say
ing:
There are eighteen districts in our
state where the public schools have
been driven out by the German
schools. Nothing but German is
spoken in them, In twelve other dis
tricts public schools have only five or
six pupils. In some places the chill
dren go three days a week to public
schools. and three days to German
schools. In one district, tabulation
showed that of S79 teachers, 357 were
German.
Tn three counties the German ma
tonal hymns were sung regularly in
the schools until the State Council OF
Defense stopped 1t. Until thirty days
ago. American national hymns had
not been sung in some of these
schools"
Graham advocated suspending Ger
man papers until the end of the war.

Residents of Grand Rapids. Mich,

suit of the war. that they may de-
eide to organize a permanent Grand

partment of the government but

fessional experts, clerks or stenog-
raphers from the Furniture CITY.
Many officers and enlisted men in
the army, navy or Marine Corps

for the holding of a preliminary
roundup or social meeting. The
date and place of meeting will be

ly indicated. it was admitted to be
reasonable that new troops would be
recruited to take their places in the
training camps.
The Provost Marshal General said:
1T Is unwise to attempt to make
forecast of the number of men that
will be called for immediate military
service in advance of the develop
ment OF the whole complex problem
of supply and transportation. 1t is
also unwise to make public announce
ment of specific figures which might
serve the enemy as a precise basis
for determining the plans for military
participation of the nations in this
war;"
Legislation Not Needed.
1t was said at the War Department
that additional legislation would not
be required to call out a much larger
number of men than the soo, 900
figured on as the basis of computa-
tion in the second drcft. New Iegisla-
ton is needed only to organize new
units. As many men as needed NAV
be called out to maintain existing
units. Also there is authority to in
duct technical men into the military
service.
Provost Marshal General Crowrler
was at the draft office most of the
day. He usually spends the larger
part of his time at his office in the
War Department Building. He was
busy throughout the day comforting
with the officers Of his STAFF. Signs
that the draft machinery was being
peeded up were plainly visible.
Another interesting incident of the
day at the draft Office was con-
ference between Gen. Crowder and
Felix Frankfurter. assistant to Sec
retary of War Baker. Mr.. Frank
furter has just returned from Eng
land and France. where he went on
mission for Secretary Baker. He
saw the Secretary In Paris before he
started for Washington. It Is be-
lieved he delivered to Gen. Crowder
some word from Secretary Baker on
the draft plans.
In anticipation Of the enactment
by Congress Of the bill providing for
the apportionment of the second draft
quota on the number of men in Class
], the provost marshal general now
Is calling out men on that basis.
Local boards have been directed to
NIL their quotas in the order of
liability OF men in Class | as deter
mined by the national drawing.

rear guard action in which they took
frightful toll of the enemy.
Allied experts are still engaged
in gathering data as to how fright
full the toll was. On the result OF
these computations will depend the
prediction as to the character OF
the next phase of the fighting.
1t will be a desperate resistance
to q new German assault on the
drawback allied lines.
Or it will be a brilliant counter
blow by the allied army of ma
neuver, French, British and Ameri-
can. led by Gen. Foch.
To BE Successful
This counter-blow. it is stated.
will not be delivered unless there
is definite assurance that IL will be
successful. The allies will not be
led into the mistake made by Hin
denburg and Ludendorf. whereby
the Germans sacrificed the flower
of their stormtruppen for the gain
of a few barren miles Of shell-torn
battlefield.
II the allies feel that the blow
cannot be struck home now-and
by struck home they mean the dis
ruption of the German lines in
France and the hurling Of the in
vader back to his own borders and
beyond-it will wait. 1t will wait,
the allied experts say, until the
weight of Americas full power can
be thrown into the scale.
This determination is reported to
have been reached upon the con-
viction that America can make her
self felt on the Western front be-
fore Germany can consolidate and
benefit by her conquests in the East.
The recent speeding up of the
American program by Secretary
Baker and the President is consid-
cred to overwhelmingly weigh in
the allies favor against the diff
culties which Germany is expert
encing with the Bolshevik govern
ment.
Most allied critics here last night
believe that the next fighting will
on Amiens. To do this. IL is ad-
mitted. the allies must make sacri-
fees they did not make in the re-
cent retreat. The present positions
must be held at all costs. To do so
will cost the lives of many more
men than were paid in the retreat
from the Arras-Le Fere line: but
the Germans will still be compelled
to double the allied expenditure OF
lives in their attempt to break
through.

The use of the term and its repetition
were merely an outspoken manifesto
ton Of the bitterness which has been
brought about by the agitation for the

the effect that the President has been
