BAKER GRATEFUL
FOR AID or PRESS
Made Possible the Distribu-

WASHINGTON, April 3.-In formally
announcing to-day the discontinuance OF
the War Departments system Of tele-
graphing casualty lists TO San Francisco
and Chicago for mail distribution b.
the press associations, Secretary Bake,
made this statement;
EFT Is with profound gratitude that we
approach the end Of the American Ex-
peditionary Force casualty lists-grate-
full that the price of victory In human
life and limb was not greater. Tho War
Department has been conscious of the
splendid public service the newspaper
press has been rendering to the people
by the prompt and accurate publication
OF the casualty lists from day to day,
that the supreme sacrifices made by
officers and men Of our forces abroad
might be known to their friends and
relatives at home.
has been to Immediately notify the
next Of kin by telegraph of any mis-
fortune Detailing a soldier. but the re-
sponsibility of notification extended also
to the community and this has been
accomplished through the newspaper
press. To meet the duty Of rapid noti-
hcation the casualty lists have been
telegraphed each day by tho War De-
partment to the postma sters Of Chicago
and San Francisco, and those Gov
eminent officials, together with the Gov
eminent Printing ONCE at Washington,
have published tho lists which the press
associations have furnished TO all daily
newspa pers with the least possible lapse
of time.
The newspapers have riEidly kept
faith on release notices. thus insuring
simultaneous publication. The United
States Government and the newspapers
have thus undoubtedly established an
unprecedented service In rapid and COM
plete publication OF the names, ad-
dresses and classified misfortunes of SOL
diers at the front The general efficiency
and humanity kind cooperation Of the
American press In this matter deserves
public appreciation"

les, probed and extracted one bullet
The wounds festered and continued to
trouble him until the hospital was taken
over by the French, when the other bul-
let's were taken out. Lieut.. Arthur
O'Toole OF Jersey City was shot down
at st. Mihiel on September IL. and was
sent to hospital at Strassburg, where he
lay more than a week before he received
attention. The French doctors who
came fixed him up and marvelled at his
pluck.
Lieut.. ]. q. Wagner of 90 West Thir-
teenth street. this borough, was gassed
in action with the 30sth Field Signal
Battalion on October .. He recovered
enough to go back into the scrap two

DISASTROUS TO TRAVELLERS

Wireless reports from Nome and

winter record one for cold weather.
During the greater part of January
the temperature in Nome averaged 40
degrees below zero, the lowest re-
corded being 81 degrees blow zero.
Similar weather has been reported
from nearly every point on the PENN

Severe storms have prevented

John Hengess, who essayed to make
the trip to Cape Prince of Wales, got
lost on the trail, and finally arrived
at Lost river with but half his dogs,
the rest of the team having succumbed
to the cold. B. Nelly, also bound
from Nome to the Cape, with supplies
for the natives, lost most of his dog

mate picture Of Stevenson's simple life
at Fakarava-of his rambles on the
beach and through the cocoanut
groves while clad only in his pajamas,
barefooted and q great palm leaf hat
on his head. He tells of Stevenson's
kindly intercourse, with the natives,
whom he likened to the gods Of
Greece. Stevenson writes of these
things of dead past. Donat is the
living voice of that past, and Steven
sons companion through 1t all.
The day the "Casco" sailed for Ia
hiti Stevenson had Donat aboard for
dinner. When the repast was over
the author drew from his finger a
handsome diamond ring and, handing
it to Donat, begged him to accept it
as a souvenir of their friendship. Do
nat demurred and asked for keep
sake more modest. The tears sprang
into Stevenson's eyes and, going to
his cabin, he returned with ring OF
lesser value which Donat accepted,
and they parted.
So Stevenson sailed away over the
western horizon, leaving, behind him
in the heart of Donat memory and a
pride Of friendship that have been
cherished as precious possessions
through these many years. Tears
come into the eyes of Donat when he
speaks of Stevenson.
"Ah, he was good mana great
gentleman" says Donat.

STEVENSON HAD
PENCHANT FOR
GHOST STORIES

PAPETEE, Island of Tahiti Jan. 2
Correspondence of the Associated
Press) There is living today in Pa
pee'e an old man known as Donat,
ard in no heart among the many who
were honored by the friendship OF
kHEert Louis stevenson is the ro-
mapticist's memory more reve,ertly
enLhrined than in the heart of onat
Donat, half-cast gentleman, was
i:Imortalized ~ Stevenson's "In The
South Seas" wherein the autnc.. de-
'crihes the ticcd-curdling ghost
stories of the Faumotus recounted to
him by Donat. The many kinanesses
shown Stevenson at Fakarava by Do
nat made the latter an object Of af-
fectionate remembrance throughout
the authors subsequent life.
Together they passed month at
Fakarava. Stevenson, wearied by
the long voyage through the Marques
sas islands, had rented a house in
order to rest ashore for a season.
Donat, in the temporary absence Of
the administrator of the Paumotus,
was in charge of the affairs of the gov
eminent house nearby. In the grounds
Of the latter was the only vegetable
garden on the island. Many tons of
soil had been brought from Tahiti to
make it productive as the natural
formation of all the Paumotu islands
is coral, sand and rubble.
Donat knew that nothing could be
more welcome to a white man after
months of sea fare than such produce
as the garden afforded. Accordingly,
every morning at 8 o'clock, a great
basket of fresh vegetables and drink
ing cocOanuts would arrive at the
Stevenson house, and later in the day
Stevenson would go over to the gov
eminent house to give thanks and
stay for chat-and so the friendship
began.
"Ah, that was a fine man." says
Donat, so kind, so gentle, so gra-
cious to everybody. He was true
democrat" Nothing more delights
the old gentleman than to talk of his
gentle friend, and the days when they
were together.
Often he talks of ghosts, for Donat
believes in ghosts. Indeed he has
planned again and again with the cor.
respondent of the Associated Press
that they go together to that cave in
Haamuta valley where, on a certain
night of the year, the shades of nat.
ives of the long ago sing and dance
| to the music of ancient magic flutes
which are said to be deposited there.
But, for one reason or another, the
trip never has been made, but Donat
| still will tell his folklore tales, as he
says he did to Stevenson, who would
listen for hours with his great, black
eyes glistening with excitement as
the weird yarns were being spun
But it is Of Stevenson that Donat
most loves to talk. He gives an init
