4, 10000 French Killed,
Wounded or Are Missing
1927, 900 Lost Lives in War
and 100000 Are Totally
Disabled

WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-Casualties
in the French army, excluding colonial
troops, UP to November ! were 4,762.
800, according to official figures made
public to-day by the French High Com
mission.
Men killed in action or dead of
wounds numbered 1,02S,OO0, and to this
total must be added $4,000 listed as
missing and given up for lost, making
total Of 1927 800. The number Of
wounded was 100000. with 435,OOo
listed as prisoners. Three fourths of
the wounded have recovered, either en-
tlrey or at least to such an extent as
to be fit to work again.
Slightly less than 100000 are abso-
lutely unable to work and have been
pensioned. To this figure must be
added those who will come back from
prison camps in Germany unfit for
work. The French government esti-
mates that the total number of unfit
and pensioned may finally be between
100000 and 100000 men.
The commissions statement said ::
"'rhe total killed or dead of wounds,
missing and unfit for work is between
. and per cent of the French popula-
tion and between 26 and 80 per cent
of the men mobilized"

Rule
Asks Recognition
at Peace Parle>

WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-Recognition
by the victorious associated nations
OF the provisi onal government at Omsk
as the all-Russian government with the
right of representation at the peace
conference was urged in q rlemoran-
Gum submitted to the Allied repre-
sentatives by the Russian delegation
now in Paris.
News of this action Of the Russian
representatives reached the Russian
Embassy here to-day in a cablegram
The message said Prince Lyoff, first
Premier of Russia after the overthrow
of the Gar, had been elected chair
man of the Russian delegation, which
has organized for preliminary work for
the peace conference.
Tchaikovsky Among Them
are former officials of the Russian pro-
visional government and ambassadors
TO the principal Allied governments. NJ.
Nicholas Tchaikovsky, head of the
Archangel government, and NJ. Sergius
Sazonoff, former foreign minister of
Russia, are expected to reach Paris
soon.
ut is proposed" said the message to
the embassy, chat four members Of
this body be nominated as official rep
resentatives at the conference. We are
handing a memorandum to the Allies
urging recognition as the all-Russian
government, the Omsk government,
whose power is successfully strength
ening, and another memorandum con-
cerning the unquestionable rights of
Russia to full representation.
Insist on Full Voice
IN the latter memorandum, it is
stated that the already organized body
deems that no question should be con-
sdered in the preliminary peace dis
cussions without the participation Of
Russia's representatives and that this
body is prepared to take part in the
work Of the peace conference in all its
different phases"
The allRussian government at Omsk
has succeeded in winning to its support
all the factions Of Siberia and some of
the strong organizations Of Russia ac
cording to a dispatch from the Russian
Minister of Foreign Affairs at Omsk, re-
ceived to-day at the Russian Embassy.
Chief among the factions are the Pick
hanotf group of the Social Democratic
party, "Edinstvo," and the Omsk group
of the Socialist Revolutionary party,
which has been one of the most seri-
Gus obstacles in Siberia to the full con-
troll of the government by the Omsk
leaders.
From other sources information came
that the dissension caused by the de-
fection of General Semenoff had been
ended and that all representatives of

Delay in Army Pay
Keeps Soldier From
Buying Wound Stripe

H. was wounded in three places and
lay for four days in the Argonne For
est before the ground was recaptured
and stretcher bearers found him. How
ever. he wasn't wearing any wound
stripes. A reporter for The Tribune
asked him why.
Didn't have money enough to buy
thcm," was his reply.
He vas one Of twenty-five returned
a. h. +. men who were interviewed at
random on the streets yesterday in. an
effort to find out just how serious has
been the army pay falldown. OF the
twenty-five ten had been wounded. Of
these ten not one had received his pay
since the day he was sent back to the
rear. Some had not been paid for a
raonth or two before that. OF the re-,
mainder-t the unwounded men eight
criticised delays in pay. Such criti-
cigms came reluctantly rather than
otherwise, in line with the mo COM
plant" spirit characteristic Of the
army.
The wounded men expect to be paid
off in day. or two as a result Of new
systcm. None of those interviewed
had been paid off under the new ar
rangemcnt

what we've all done--if we had homes.
If we hadn't-~-wcl, the fellows that
hadn't have been out of luck"
That WAS the nearest thing to com
paint which any Of them made. A
young follow from the i05th Infantry
who had lost leg st st. Quentin said:
"Pay?" he said. "No; I haven't had
any for seven months not since |

Blame for the delays was placed by
both wounded and unwoundcd men
