All Information Available Given To
Next of Kin of Army Casualties

The War Department constantly
is intent on providing for the next
of kin the maximum information
available as to the Army personnel
who become battle casualties. With
regard to the missing, just as with
regard to the killed, wounded and
prisoners of war, all information
except the small amount which may
Immediately effect security is for
warded promptly to those con-
cerned.
OF the total of some $4,000 men
who have been reported as battle
casualties through September 80,
1913, approximately 23,5OO are listed
as missing. Most of the missing
were lost in the Philippines They
include 1878 Philippine Scouts and
5,316 officers and men of the U. S.
Army. Some of the latter still are
being reported from time to time
by the Japanese Government as
prisoners of war. Japan has not
furnished this country with lists of
Philippine Scouts who are prisoners.
From all other areas in the world
where u. S. Army troops have been
in action, 7,450 are recorded as miss
ing in action A number of these
men may be subsequently reported
as prisoners of war of Germany or
Japan and a few may be reported as
internees of neutral countries. Some
others may ultimately be located
and return to duty
When a theater of operations re-
ports the names of men listed as
casualties, The Adjutant General of
the Army Immediately notifies the
emergency addresses by telegraph
Care is taken to see that the names
are not announced in the field and
that the first word goes officially to
the next of kin or the reatives or
friend who is designated as the
emergency addressee. In the case of
missing soldiers the telegram of no
tification gives all available infor-

tached to the British Ministry of
Supply Mission, and during her first
day at work was asked to call one
of her boss friends, also British
officer, on the telephone.
AS far as the conversation could
later be reconstructed, she was con-
nected with this officers secretary,
who told her, Captain B has
gone to u. K"

told her. you know - United

sympathy, Hes dead"

nation, including the general area
where the missing man was in
action.
As soon as further information is
received, the emergency addressee
again is notified by telegram or let
ter. Often the Adjutant General is
able to report that the missing man
has been taken prisoner. Some
times men temporarily isolated in
battle make their way back to duty,
a circumstance which is promptly
reported to the emergency addressee.
In a case where the enemy has
identified American dead and re-
ported it through the International
Red Cross, the Adjutant General
notifies the next of kin that it has
been determined that the man pre-
viously reported missing has been
killed.
At least weeks and frequently
months elapSe before reports that
men have been taken prisoner are
received from the enemy. In the
meantime, there is usually no in
formation at hand The Adiutant
General reports Immediately to the
next of kin all such information as
he possesses or subsequently re-
ceives.
To provide information as to the
essential facts on the casualty status
of each of the $4,000 men who have
been battle casualties has been a
tremendous task in the face of the
obvious difficulties. The reporting
on casualties is done from combat
areas spread around the world, some
of them isolated and all subject to
the pressure of battle action. The
ebb and flow of battle, the strain of
continuous movement and fighting,
the limited nature of communication
facilities at the fronts make the
keeping of records in the field ex-
tremely difficult. These records, al
though naturally limited in details,
are nevertheless maintained

Bedtime Stories
Nv THORNTON w RIIRCrI

Peter Rabbit sat on the bank of
the Laughing Brook staring across
at little hole near the top of the
big sandbank opposite Billy Mink
has Just vanished in that hole and
Peter knew why. He knew that that
hole was the entrance to the home
of Rattles the Kingfsher, and he
knew that somewhere back beyond
that entrance was a nest, and in it
were the babies of Rattles. He knew,
too, that it was for those babies
that Billy Mink had entered that
hole in the sandbank, that Billy
meant to make a dinner of them.
Tears were in Peters eyes as he
stared across at that little hole, for
there was nothing he could do to
save those babies He didn't want
to stay and yet somehow he couldn't t
make up his mind to go. He knew
just how dreadfully Rattles would
feel when he returned and found
that home empty, and it made his
heart ache. So he sat staring at the
hole in the bank across the Laugh
ing Brook and wishing with all his
might that there had been some way
for him to save those baby King
fishers.
Suddenly he noticed sand begin to
trickle down from the edge of that
hole, First there was little, then
more and more Strange noises
reached him, smothered noises.
There was an angry splitting sound
and growls and little squeals Of
pain. No baby kingfishers ever made
sounds like that. What could 1t
/ mean? Peter crept to the very
edge of the bank and stared across
with eyes that looked as If trying
to pop right out of his head. He
didn't have long to wait. More sand
poured out Of that hole, and then
the tail of Billy Mink followed by
Billy's long slim body. Billy Mink
was backing out of that hole and he
was doing it in hurryi
Just then there was sharp rattle
from up the Laughing Brook. Rat
ties the Kingfsner was bringing
home another fish. He reached the
sandbank just as Billy Mink was
half way out of the hole. Dropping
the little fish he had brought, Rat
ties shot down like a fury and his
sharp bill struck Billy Mink. leaving
red mark where 1t had torn Billy's
coat. Billy squealed and then he
rolled over and over down that
steep sandbank. He didn't stop to
come down gracefully. No, sir. he
just rolled over and over any way
to get to the water.
Billy Mink was sorry sight. He
certainly was. His coat was torn
and there were bright red marks on
the top of his brown head where
something sharp and stout had
struck him. What that something
was Peter soon saw, for hardly was
Billy out of that hole when the
spearlike bill of Mrs Rattles fol-
lowed, and then she herself, as angry
kingflsher as ever was seen. AS
Billy dived into the cool, welcome
water of the Laughing Brook both
Rattles and Mrs. Rattles shot after
him. But they were Just too late
Then, rattling excitedly, they how
cred over the water waiting for Billy
to show his head. But he didn't show
it. He knew all too well what was
waiting for him. He swan under
water until he could crawl out for
air at place where the bank over
hung the water and he couldn't be
seen. There n licked his wounds
and then whimpering softly made
