Official War Review
Film Is Issued Today

The Official War Review will be
issued beginning to-day by the Com
mittee on Public Information, George
Creel, chairman, through the Division
of Films, of which Charles 5. Hart is
director.
There will be one reel each week
containing the latest work OF the
camera men of the United States.
British and Italian governments. The
Division of Films will have exclusive
control of all motion pictures of the
great war made by these govern
ments. In addition. there will also
be included pictures taken by the
French General STAN
The Official War Review Will be
distributed by Pathe Exchange, Inc.
which has been selected because of
its widespread facilities.
This coordination of the camera
activities of the allied governments
will make it possible to show to the
public every week a one-reel feature
that will. in connection with the big
feature films like "Pershing's Cru
sader's," form a complete and illumi-
mating pictorial history of the war.
The Official War Review Will be the
first of its kind ever issued and
should be a star feature on every pic
ture program in the allied countries.

Washington, June 24.-Casualties
in the American Army overseas thus
far reported by General Pershing,
including the list made public yester-
day total S,634. as compared with s.
0S5 a week ago.
Casualties among the marines with
the expeditionary forces are not in
cluded in this list. No official tabula-
ton of these casualties reported to
date was available to-day, but unoffi-
cial figures show that they total
slightly more than 1000.
$40 Names Since Sunday
The $40 names reported by Cen
eral Pershing since last Sunday in
cluded 140 killed in action, 6S died
of wounds, 81 died of disease, "a
died of accidents and other causes,
264 wounded in action and 10 miss
ing in action, including prisoners
With some 100000 men now in
France. the small number of deaths
from disease reported is considered
rather remarkable and shows that
the American soldiers are in fine
physical condition.
