PEOPLE OPPOSING
CASUALTY POLICY
Against New Method
of Issuing Casualty Lists
Of SammleS.

WASHINGTON, March 13.-Pro-
tests against the war departments
new policy Of issuing casualty lists
without addresses continue TO reach
congress and the subject was de-
bated today in the house.
Pres't Wilson is understood to be
giving personal consideration to the
reasons for the change and it is
known that the department has ASK
ed Gen. Pershing who suggested IL
at the instance of the French goy-
eminent, tC forward a full statement
Of the military considerations in
volved so they may be laid before
the American public. Members Of
the cabinet said after today's meet.
ing hat TIE matter was not discuss
ed there.
In connection with the plan now
being considered of issuing lists
twice a month or once a week IN
stead of daily il has been suggested
that under this scheme there might
be no objection to giving addresses
and names Of relatives Of the mer.
One of the chief objections TO the
old plan was the announcement Or
the dates on which the men were
killed or wounded. thus giving the
exact information as TO the results
of certain engagements.
Republicans Oppose Policy.
In the house Rep. McKensie Of
Illinois. republican. cited the case
of a Montana man whose name. ap-
pearing on a casualty list. was iden-
teal with that of a boy IN the army
from an Illinois town. He was
joiT ed b. Representatives Lite Of
Kansas and Graham of Illinois, re-
publicans. insisting that names
should not be made public without
addresses.
Rep. Glass OF Virginia; Garrett
Of Tennessee. and Humphreys Of
Mississippi. democrats. defended the
action OF the department, saying the
decision had been reached by men
who knew more about the question
than members of congress. Rep.
Garrett said the newspapers hal
failed 10 impress upon the people
the fact that the department
promptly notifies the rSatives Of
each man whose name appears on a
list.

use Of commercial fertilizers is ad-
visable in some cases, but owing to
the scarcity and high price of both
nitrogen and potash the use of com
mercial fertilizers containing large
amounts of these materials is not
advisable unless these elements can
not be secured through the use OF
manures. If sufficient land is avail
able for gardening purposes so that

PROUD OF EVERY MAN"
BAKER PRAISES ARMY IN FIRST
SPEECH SINCE RETURN.
Secretary Describes Conditions and
Morale of Troops in Liberty Loan
Address at Washington.

Washington.-"We will do our part;
you do yours" is the message from the
American army in France to the Amer
lean people that Secretary Baker de-
livered here at a Liberty loan rally in
his first public address since his re-
turn from Europe.
I'VE are fighting an adversary" Mr..
Baker declared, who has elected to
make force the center of his political
philosophy and belief-pure, naked
force. 1t is not the doctrine upon
which a permanent and beautiful civ
ilization can be built; but we accept
that challenge as it has been made.
There is no answer except cold, re-
lentless, adequate force"
A tremendous crowd that packed
the great Y M. C. A. building to its
capacity roared with applause as the
war secretary reiterated the purpose
OF America and the allies.
when force is divorced from moral
ity," he continued, there is some
thing in morality that engenders the
force to overcome it.
There is no doubt as to the out
come.
THE end of this war will not come
when the line is broken. This war
cannot end until a peoples heart is
broken, and those who have looked
into the faces of the people of Eng
land, of France or of Italy, or the
faces of those refugees leaving terri
tory to be occupied, know that mere
force can never break that heart"
The aid of France and England and
Italy had been generous, he said. All
allied and American men and re-
sources had been pooled until they
were merged in one great identity. All
the nations had lost their sense Of
distinction between what is theirs
and what is ours" The common pur-
pose of all to beat back and crush
German force, he said, had welded all
into one.
Going from the ports where Ameri-
can troops land to the front line
trenches, Mr.. Baker said, he had seen
American soldiers by the tens of thou
sands end under every condition.
And l found them big and strong
and brave and filled with fine determi-
nation. In all that time / saw not one
of whom l was not proud that he was
an American"

suits, says the War Departments
weekly review of the military situation
but should the present drive at chan
mel ports fail, American strategists
look for the enemy "to undertake a
further and even more powerful
thrust"
The German attack in the northern
salient, the statement asserts, cannot
be viewed as the final nor even the
most determined onslaught of the en-
emy."
German smashes at the American
troops in the Toul sector have met
with all the stubborn, gallant fighting
spirit that has always characterized
United States fighters. American mill
tary men here said that accounts of
the weekend struggle proved that the
Americans can be counted on.

London, April 24-Battlefield events
are overshadowed by the possibility
that the little kingdom of Holland may
be engulfed in the war, for HOLLANDS
entry into the struggle would upset all
west front strategy.
Holland adjoins the present battle
field, blockades German access to the
sea from the Rhine, the Meuse and
the Scheldt rivers and cuts off direct
railroad communication with Germany
from large part of the Belgian front.
All communication with Ostend,
Ghent, Bruges, Brussels and Antwerp
has to be carried on by the way of AK

Holland to give up its neutrality and
to open up to German use the network
of railroads, canals and rivers which
would make the German front in Bel
GUM strategically more powerful.
This assault upon the integrity OF
Holland has not been popular with the
German people themselves. But it is
ha nl1 CT of sfr,ni1 "
for the Pan-Germans. To them Hol-
lands refusal to permit German travel
to be carried across Holland to the
German front in Belgium and the
Dutch acquiescence in our ship requi-
sition were the only opportunities for
attempting to force The Hague gov
ernment to make concessions to Ger
many which would end Hollands neu-
trality.
The people of Holland don't wish
war. But, like che people of Belgium,
they are sensitive of their honor and
they will fight the moment their neu-

know that they will suffer the most.

San Jacinto, Cal, April 24.-Three
more earthquake shocks during Mon

San Jacinto and Hemet "shiver." but
added nothing to the destruction of the
Sunday tremors which half wrecked

earthquake shocks, severe in intensity,
which began Sunday at 1892 p. m. and

suffered most, or western Arizona and
