FEW CASUALTY LISTS
OF DEATHS IN WAR
Names Of Members of Expeditionary
Forces Who Die Will Be An
nounced, However.

Washington, March 27.-The last
OF real American casualty lists in
the world war now are being pub
lished in the daily newspapers and
within the next few days the lists
will contain practically only the
names Of those who have died or
have been injured since the armis-
tice. The names of the few given
as killed in action are those of men
Tor whom extended investigation
had been necessary to establish
proof OF death. They are mostly
the names of those who were in
jured beyond recognition when they
gave their lives for their country.
Daily casualty lists will continue
to be issued, however, indefinitely
because as long as the expeditionary
forces remain overseas. or there is
an army OF occupation in Germany
there will be deaths from disease.
The next Of kin will continue to re-
ceive the same official notification
from the war department but the
daily publication OF names may
from now on run further behind the
official kilograms.

Count Bernstorff So Quoted By
The Temps Correspond
ent at Berlin.
FULFILL ALL CONDITIONS
Says Germany Will Do This
and That Germany Expects
Other Powers Interested to
Do Likewise.

Paris, March 27.-Germany is de-
termined to stick closely to the Will
son program in making peace with
the allies, Count Won Bernstorff,
former German ambassador to the
United States, declared in an inter-
view given the Berlin correspond
ent OF The Temps, which that news
paper prints.
THE armistice of November H.
said Count Won Bernstorff, was
signed when all the powers interest
ed had accepted the program of
peace proposed by President Wilson
Germany is determined to keep to
this agreement which history will
regard, in a way, as the conclusion
OF preliminary peace. She herself
is ready to submit to the conditions
arising from 1t and she expects all
the interested powers to do the
same. If these essential conditions
OF the Wilson program should be
violated or neglected, and, specific
ally. IL conditions are imposed which
go beyond the program. the German
delegates would find themselves in
a position OF, say, non-possumus."
Count Won Bernstorff advocated \
plebiscite for Alsace-Lorraine and
German-Austria.
"Germany's attitude on indemni-
ties continued the former ambas-
sador, "is fixed by her acceptance of
the note of November s., 1918
whereby reparation is accorded for
all damage done to the civil regula-
tions OF France and Belgium by
German aggression. This note ad-
mits OF the payment OF no other in
IDENTITIES
Asked what the consequences
would be OF the failure to sign a
peace, Count Won Bernstorff re-
piled:
II am no prophet. but Bolshevism
would gain immensely. The liberal
world which has seen salvation 70,
humanity in President Wilson'S
principles, would be terribly disap-
pointed II peace were not made.
Even the higher classes would be
driven to depart. Remember that
since the middle ages no idea has
aroused the worlds enthusiasm like
league OF nations based on peace
and justice, and who will dare to
cause the idea to miscarry at tho
hrst test? / hope that a league of
all the nations of the world will
make common cause against the
spectre OF Bolshevism and triumph
over it,"
