LIST not
IN BEFORE
FEBRUARY
Casualty Lists Still Way Back
Due to MudGIeS, Red
Cross Rebuffed

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-The
issuance of casualty lists by the
War Department has been marked
by inefficiency. The overseas
casualty office has not been equal
TO the task it faced.
The complicated machinery for
handling lanes makes it likely
that the final rolls may not come
before February and there are
10000 names still to come.
As late as Nov. Is reports Of deaths
were being telegraphed TO tho next OF
kin on an average Of one month after
tho deaths ~actually occurred
At that time the statistical division
had death cables which had been COM
ing in for fourteen DAYS and had not
been even ecodcd. In the last week
&C November the War Department had
hospital lists dating hack To September
giving the names Of a great many men
who had been wounded, but had been

reports on soldiers who were seriously
wounde as laag ago As early in july.
MORE THAN 10000
NAMES BEHIND.
It is evider.t that the casualty lists

Secretary Baker and Cen TcSton G

formed when they told the Senate com
rnittee on military affairs last Tuesday
hat all casualties would be now by
Jan. 1.
Careful inquiry at the casualty office
reveals that l20.000 records still arc to
he reported from abroad and that the
hest the office can hope TO do under the
most favorable conditions Is. to issue
%. 600 reports a week. Not so long ago
the office record was 5000 reports a
week.
$4,000 MAJOR CASUALTIES YET.
II is true. as the War Department
formally announces that only 5000
major casualties still are to be finally
reported but reports must yet be made
on 100000 other soldiers whose names
have been given 70 the overseas Office
but have not reached this country
A month or two ago the office here
was receiving only loo names by
cable each DAY but the transmission OF
reports has been so speeded up since
hen that the office is now receiving
from 1000 TO 5000 names a day and on
one day last week It handled more than
1000 names. To maintain the pace

MAY MEAN MUCH TO WORLD
Avistors Believe That Flying Is Bound
to Have Great Influence on the
Minds of Men.

Flying In the opinion Of British
aviators. is going to change the char
acter of the worlds thought. II will
have broadening influence and it
win bring a fresher, cleaner flow Of
ideas into the brains Of men
A man, the flyers argue, who has
seen before him al the same time the
cliffs Of England, the long fiat fields of
Holland and the smiling countryside
Of Belgium and France is bound TO
think in a different way than a man
whose horizon has always been bound
cG by bricks ana mortar, or even by
hill and dale.
Travelling may have made him think
nationally, but flying will make him
think far more largely, He win see
England and France lying close to
each other, separated only by a shin
ing strip of water. He viii see the
green and brown mosaic of Belgium,
which in its turn merges into the dis
tant shadow of Holland, while, still
farther on, across the wide Scheldt
he win see the distant lowlands sweep
ON over the rim of the world.
How will he regard petty spites be-
tween individuals and cliques then?
the brdman asks. lie can cover with
his thumb from the heights a fever
ish city swarmlnS with a million pco-
pie. What will he think of those who
live next to each other and viii not
speak? How mean and petty their
Quarrels and jealouses and hates will
SEEM
The true meaning Of human inter-
course and friendship viii come home
to him He will gain an almost divine
outlook upon the world. Dishonesty,
civil strife, all will seem to him
contemplate. Perhaps, say the avia-
tors this is the new view which will
bring the millennium.
