2O.Oo SLIGHT CASUALTIES.
Great List of Minor Injuries Not in
 the General Report.

Washington, Sept. S.-Ameriean army casualties to date stand at 47,- IFS. These figures include lists to be published today, and hitherto unre- ported list of 10000 minor casualties. The 10000 minor casualties occurred up to August 20, and because of their trivial nature, had been withheld. General Pershing felt less worry would be caused if these were unre- ported.
 Hereafter General Pershing will re- port major asualties-killed and missing by cable, and will forward the wounded casualties and hospital recoveries by weekly courier The war department will publish all the wounded casualties from now on.
 The 10000 reported by General Pershing probably occurred mainly in the Soissons Reims march.
 May Mean American Drive.
 General March today announced that over 90 per cent of the Amer jeans in France are now in American sectors. This means a practical end to the British and French brigading system, and March added that train ing in this country is now so increas- ingly thoro that not much is required , abroad in preparation for the front line.
 This may mean distinctive Amer ican drive, preventing the Germans from massing reserves along the Hin- denburg line, it is thought by some.

 Can't Halt at Chemin Des Danes.
 Paris, Sept. S-The allied advance in the region west of St. Quentin, in the opinion of the military critic of the Petit Journal, will prevent the en- emy from halting even temporarily on the Crozat Canal, which was the basis of his line in this region dur ing last year.
 In addition the opinion is expressed that the thrust General Mangin's troops are carrying out further south is of such powerful nature that it may be questioned whether the Ger mans will be able to hold the Chemin des Danes.
