 Secretary Bakers statement Of last night. General March said:
 "The casualty question I understood was to be covered by the secretary or war and I believe he did say some thing about it. General Pershing re- piled to our order to send in all cas- ualties that the delay in sending them in was due to the fact that our men were serving under the British and the French as we'll as under our own com manders but that casualties would be cabled as soon as they had been com rletelv verified You can we'll imagine 2 how disastrous it would he if the cas- ualties were cabled and then cOrrec- tions had to be made The distress would be beyond all question. and so these lists are going to come in ana as soon as they do come in they win be given out. whatever they are"
 Secretary Baker in his talk Go the correspondents, said:
 "I have before me a copy of the Washington Times. carrying a state ment that General Pershing estimates United States casualties at 12.00O and says that General March said that to the military affairs committee This is not SO. General March said nothing on the subject nor did l. Nobody said anything on that subject or anything like it that I can recall.

Germans are strongly posted on the hills to the north of the Aisne.
 The retreat of the Germans has been carried out with skill, and, up until Thursday, seemed to be orderly. Ever since then there have been no reports of large captures of prisoners, and there has been no mention of cap- tured cannon. It is probable the Ger man retreat has been a successful Op eration, so far as men and guns may be concerned. The loss in munitions and materials will be very heavy.
 The success of the allies has appar- ently thrown the whole German plan of campaign out of joint. There have been large units withdrawn from the northern battle front to support the crown prince's armies and the German withdrawal across the Ancre river from Albert northward for distance of more than three miles is considered by London to be an indication that the enemy has abandoned that section Of the Picardy battle field as the scene of offensive operations. There have been indications that the British may strike the enemy when the moment

BRITISH OFFICIAL

 The committee on public infOrma- tion issued this statement:
 The statement is published today that the chief of staff. General March, informed the senate military cOnInit- tee that a rough estimate of the casu- aities as computed by General Per shing was about 12,0O0. Another csti- mate was 16,000.
 These statements are absolutely false. General March did not give any estimate or intimate any number of American casualties. On the con trary, General March's announcement to the newspaper men today was avail able and explained the situation as re- gards casualties.
 At the request of the chief of staff, editors and correspondents are hereby cautioned against publishing these false statements that any estimate has been made regarding the number or American casualties.
 In a statement issued tonight, F A.. Walker, managing editor of the Wash ington Times. said the report tha, there had been 12.OO0 casualties in the American forces in the present often sive was received from the United Press, and was printed on that auth ority
