Washington. June 22.-The steadily
increasing participation of American n
troops fighting in France was sharply
marked in today's army casualty list.
OF the 1873 men named. 81. including
three officers. were killed in action, the
heaviest death roll from the battlefield
yet made public.
Probably no particular action is re
sponsible for the number of killed. but
ii is an accumulation from the five or
six sections of the front where the
Americans are fighting. and from pa.
troll actions as well as from the larger
operations, like the attack yesterday
near ChateauThierry to recSify the
; line
Great care is shown in forwarding
the list so as not to show the losses in
any particular engagement.
The British take similar precautions,
yet their casualty lists last week passed
the 80. 900 mark. During the week. so
far as known, the British were involved
in no major operations except on the
Italian front. A comparison of the
American and British lists however, in
some measure forms a gauge of the
limited extent to which the United
its power to bear against the German
invaders.
The list follows:
Killed in action. 32; died of wounds,
20; died of airplane accident / died
OF disease, 8; died of accident and other
causes, 10; wounded severely, 81;
wounded degree undetermined . miss.
