NO DELAY OF LISTS
BAKER EXPLAINS METHOD OF
REPORTING CASUALTIES.
Says Unreported Names of Wounded
Are Minor Cases--Great Occu-
pationaI Force.

Washington, Dec. 4.-Secretary Ba-
ker, appearing before the senate mtli-
tary committee to explain the delay in
completing the publication of Ameri-
can casualties overseas, said he
thought most of the unreported names
were those of men slightly wounded
and would come by mail.
Senators were unable TO understand
why only something over 100000
names have been published, when 1T
has been officially announced that the
casualties number 262,693. The sec
rotary said every effort consistent with
accuracy was made to prevent delay,
and that General Pershing had been
urged repeatedly to expedite his lists,
sending the names of the dead first.
'The department from the begin
ming" Mr. Baker said, has never held
up, withheld or delayed giving out
casualty lists. Our policy has been to
give a complete statement as soon as
possible.
General March, chief of staff. and
Assistant Secretary Keppel, were with
the secretary. Mr.. Keppel said the
system of obtaining and verifying cas-
ualty reports in France had been slow
at first, and if it had to be done over
again it probably would be done diff
ferently.
General March, discussing demobili-
cation, said General Pershing was Sc
lecting units for the occupational force
of about 1,250,000 men, and that all the
other American soldiers in France
would be brought home as rapidly as
shipping could be provided.
Secretary Baker said many COM
plants had been based upon misunder-
standing and suspicious that the lists
were being held up, and that distress
had been caused among relatives by
inaccurate reports in soldiers private
letters. He told in detail of the pub
location plan under which a telegram
is sent Immediately to the next of kin
before name is put on the lists trans
mitted by mail to the newspapers for
simultaneous publication throughout
the country.

NEARLY ALL COAST
BATTERIES OLD
Need Modern Defense to Guard
United States.
WARNING GIVEN, TO BAKER
Should Add to Fortifications Each
Year to Safeguard American Har-
bors Against Future Enemy
Naval Raids, Is Recon-
mendation.

Washington, Dec. 4.-There is an
Imperative need for immediate con-
struction of modern coast Notifications
to safeguard American harbors from
future enemy naval raids.
A very large percentage of American
seacoast batteries are now at least 70
years old, and the recent rapid advance
in range and power of guns has left
many of these Notifications obsolete.
Report Given to Baker.
This warning from the chief of en-
gineers of the United States army is
today in the hands of Secretary of War
Baker. The report characterizes as
wrong the former policy of merely add
ing to the seacoast defenses without
revising the elements of the fortifica-
lions each year to meet modern condi-
lions.
1.-THE future policy of the United
States" the report advises, should be
based upon the principle of replacing
each year certain percentage OF each
element of the defense and TO do the
form annual rate. so that in general all
of our seacoast Notifications will be
fairly up to date and batteries and
other elements of the defense will be
replaced before they become entirely
obsolete"
Boards Recommendation.
The engineer department, TO meet
new elements of warfare that have
been perfected during the world war,
makes these recommendations:
Overhead cover on seacOast gun
emplacements must be strengthened
to guard against the plunging shots of
very long-range fire and against air
craft bombing attacks.
2-The increase in the rapidity of
the fire of new guns should be met by
changes such as may be possible in our
ammunition service, so as to increase
the rapidity of fire of the American
seacoast guns.
3-The Increase in the expenditure
should be provided for by increasing
our magazine space and by firing our
seacoast guns only with such charges
as will increase the accuracy life of
the gun.
1.-THE development of portable
mounts for large modern guns should
be followed in seacoast defense by in
stalling some of our seacoaSt guns
upon portable mounts moving on rail
road racks, and certain of the new
types of fire should be adopted in the
ha0iling of seacoast guns.
