447 Americans LOST
IN 6-DAY PERIOD
War Department Resumes
Publication of Casualties,
but Without Details
2I SOLDIERS ARE
TAKEN PRISONER

WASHINGTON, April i0.-Following
advlces from Secretary Of War Baker,
the War Department resumed yester-
day publication Of casualty lists, which
had been suspended since April .. Ihe
lists were temporarily held up until
word came from General Pershing as
10 whether this information could be
given out here.
General Pershing. although he de-
sires that information generally con-
cernlng the overseas forces come from
the Headquarters OF the American ex-
pedltionary force and not from Wash
ington, will continue TO send me
casualty lists here to be made public
by the War Department.
The lists contain 447 names In all.
This includes IS killed in action, IL
died Of wounds. q captured, died OF
accidents, 46 died Of disease, 3 died OF
unknown causes, i03 severely wounded
and 2u slightly wounded.
Names alone are given. With no ad-
dresses and no indication as to when
The casualties took place. The list given
under date OF April is by far the
heaviest, having i24 names, and II Is
presumed here that this covers casual
ties among the American engineers who
participated In the first phase Of the
German drive.
Unofficial reports passed by the mill
tary censors abroad show that this
American force Of engineers did excel
lent service on a small scale By aiding
the Canadians In attempting to impede
the progress Of the advancing Ger
mans.
The Americans appear to have Deer
under Canadian command and TO have
dropped their tools for rifles wher
news came that the Germans were com.

overwhelming odds and took their ful
share Of German victims before falling

DOLLAR FUND WILL
 BE FOR DESTITUTE BELGIAN CHILDREN

To the Editor: On the eve of Bel gfum's de!iverance there is a danger lest we forget that the sufferings of five million people wholly dependent upon aid from the allied governments for their daily bread continue and will not terminate until some semblance of restoration has been accomplished. Long before the United States entered the war the Dollar Christmas Fund was the means of bringing hope and comfort to the destitute Belgian chill dren at a time when hope and oDm- fort and American sympathy were badly needed. There are 1,500, 900 such children and thanks to American sup port given during the Christmas sea- son we have been able to bring a ray
 of sunshine to all the most necessi- tous cc3es--the poorest of the poor, the orphans, the sick and the suffer- ing. The inspiration of the day has lent a spiritual meaning to our help far in excess of the cost of buying the Christmas dinners albeit we have

IBOMBPROOF DUGOUT CONSTRUCTED

Fully Equipped Quarters Containing All the Convent ences of Modern Club, Were Used to Conduct the Business of the Army, and Were Ceverly Camou- faged on the Surface

With the American Troops Gin France, Nov. -(Correspondence of 7 The Associated Press)-An amazing underground shelter or dugout equip ped with many luxuries is the home of the staff of one American army corps which took a prominent part in the St. Mihiel fight. It is little less than an underground city club, with offices, sleeping quarters. baths, res taurants, kitchens, electric lights, tel ephone and bell boys in the persons of orderlies and messengers and many other appurtenances, of hotel life
 Its occupation has permitted the staff of this corps to operate in close touch with the fighting troops much more closely behind the lines than such a corps ordinarily ventures,

 At the end of the big corridor was the kitchen, compact to the point of being a kitchenette.s When the cooks finished each meal the side streets could suddenly be transformed into little cosy dining rooms, each with it's long. wooden table and narrow wooden benches. In less time than it takes to tell the generals mess was ready. the superior officers mess and all the others.
 No sound could penetrate the great concrete roof, and the great lombard ment that opened the St. Mihiel show could not be heard, as an As sociated Press correspondent, who was there, can attest. Yet, outside the building the cannon were going great guns and the whole night was thun- | dering with the noise.

The one hundredth would have seen merely slight ele- vation in the muddy plain with two or three dark holes in the ground that might have been old shell craters or anything else.
 In reality the mud and grass cov- ering was nothing but a cocealment of thirty-foot ceiling of reinforc- ed concrete, the black holes well ca moufaged entrances leading down T sloping runway to the brilliance of r the electrically lighted interior.

BRITISH ATRPLANE

London, Oct. 15.---A British scout Iairplane recently roaming the skies lin search of night raiders, perceived a German bombing machine, twisting and turning in the grip of several British searchHghts.
 The British pilot dived to the at tack, and put in a strong burst of machine gun fire. The German ma chine burst into flames and began to f1utter earthwards, like huge burn ing leaf. Suddenly, the British ma chine rocked in the concussion of a tremendous explosion, and the Ger man raider vanished in a bIinding flash. One of it's own powerful bombs had exploded. blowing it to pieces. Airplanes and motor trucks not

 Streets Laid Out.
 Inside, parallel with the road and traversing the length of the dugout, was a wide corridor-the main street. of the institution, in which the commanding general rubbed shoul- ders with the orderlies and messen- gers as they went from office to of fee. Off this main street led minor streets running to the rear and being used, for economy of space, as sleeping rooms for the enlisted men at night Artificial ventilation was provided for the constant puriffcation of the whole dugout, and the smell throughout was clean and sweet.
 Off the small streets, and off the big one, too, were the offices, con- structed likewise for economy of space. Each was about ten feet wide and quite deep, with a narrow table running the length of the rooms at which sat the officers and their as- sistants, working, working, all the time, answering the telephone every moment or so, giving instructions and receiving reports.

My Dear Uncle:-The lynchings
of Tennessee are unworthy of her. l
had hoped to register my protest in
some substantial way. This l have
had not time to do, but under forced
and hurried labor, enclose this
literary matter. If it suits your
purposes, you are welcome to use it.

that l am to be located at Camp Lee,
Petersburg, Va. l have just resigned

Ours is a lawless nation,
Yet in love with Democracy
That shall drown
Lynching from our land.
Barbarous and cruel was the burning
In dear, old Tennessee
Grant that it may mark the turning
Into mighty paths of justice
For every American.
Lofty mountains and noble hills,
Lord, you enthroned in Tennessee
Symbols of thy sovereign will
To inspire every man
To dare be free.
OF national integrity and fame
Was our son "Old Hickory"
For this awful shame,
Would he not rebuke our guilt,
That sullied Tennessee's glory?
We love thee so. Our Lord,
Our hope springs eternal
That thy ways may be above
Mans foolish unwritten law
Clouding the Dawn of Democracy.
Clifford L, Miller.
