The tables given out by the depart
ment were under the following intro
ductory descriptions:
THE following pages are a tabula-
ton of casualty tables received thru
January 10. They give totals of the
casualties which put soldier perma-
nently out of action. They do not in
clude wounded figures as the lists of
those slightly Wounded are still in
complete.
1.-The totals given are about 95 per
cent complete for each division. A
few new reports of casualties are still
coming in, but most of the changes
since January 10, when the tabula-
ton was begun, are decreases in the
missing in action figure and cor
responding increases in the other to-
tails. This change is due to the re-
| lease of prisoners and reports of
deaths by eye witnesses. The total
figure for missing has now been re-
duced tc close to 10000. Field signal
battalions, ambulance companies and
trains are not included in the tabula-
ton of the divisions.
THE record of units outside of di-
! visions will be available in few days.
This addition will have relatively
small effect on the totals here given.
