WASHINGTON, March 29.—The
war department gives no indication of
yielding in its determination to with
hold the home addresses of soldiers
killed or wounded, or who die of other
causes in France.
Basing its position on the objections
the French government made to Gen
eral Pershing against the American
method of issuing casualty lists, the
department intends to meet objections
in congress and from the public with
the answer that the old system be
trays valuable military information to
the enemy, and the fact that the near
est relatives of soldiers are officially
notified hours before they could get
the information from the newspapers.
The committee on public informa
tion maintains its stand that the
names of soldiers, without home ad
dresses to identify them to neighbors
and friends, or prevent confusion with
other men of similar name, are so de
void of news value, that it will not is
sue the lists. Therefore the lists will
continue to be issued once a day from
the office of Adjutant General Mc
Cain.
Pointing out that the French publish
no casualty list at all, but merely no
tify the relatives, war department of
ficials give as their explanation of the
new move that the enemy, by scan
ning the complete casualty lists as
they have previously been issued, is
enabled to piece out a fair idea of the
Identity of the troops confronting him.
Although under the new plan rela
tives will be notified and, officials
expect, publication of names of troops
will find their way into local papers,
it is felt that the publications will be
widely scattered and that the task of
assembling the names from all the
newspapers of the country and con
solidating them into military informa
tion would be such a tremendous task
that from the aspects of a spy system
it is practically impossible.
In the smaller cities and towns it is
assumed the mere mention of a sol
dier’s name will lead to ready identi
fication and publication without a
tveat effort, but in the great cities;
this is accounted well nigh impossible
unless relatives themselves notify the
newspapers as they receive telegrams
from the war department.
In promising to quickly send offi
cial notifications to relatives, how
ever, the war department is careful
to warn the public that it must not
identify men by their names alone, be
cause there are many similarities of
names in the army. Unless a man’s
relatives have received an official
telegram concerning him, the depart
ment says, they must assume that
some other man of the same name is
referred to.
Until some other arrangements, if
any, are made the war department
plans to issue the casualty list once
each day, and persons finding names
they recognize will have to communi
cate with relatives of the man listed
to learn if it is some one else of the
same name.

The C. W. Young Company of Ju

ing every scrap of paper, it has two
presses for two different grades of!
paper. They stated that they did not
know' whether they were making any
money or not but knew that they
were not losing any. The presses rep
resent an expenditure of about thirty
five dollars.

BRITISH FOOB HOARDERS
NOW FACE PRO UTION
(United Press Staff Correspondence.)
LONDON, Feb. 25 (by mail).—
Lord Rhondda, the food controller,
has formed a special corps of food
detectives to hunt down cases of viola,
tion of the hoarding act. Unfortunates
with too much food in their possession
are trembling in their boots. Already
the food sleuths have unearthed more
than 300 cases of hoarding. Within a
few days wholesale prosecuions will
begin. Oone prominent member of
parliament is included in the catch.
To aid persons in the unpleasant
predicament of having too much food,
a London hospital is advertising that
they will accept contributions from
“persons finding themselves with an
unusual supply of food on hand.”
Nearly a ton of eatables was found
in the house of Mrs. Jessie Klaber of
Beckenham. She was summoned upon
fourteen different counts, fined $500
and the surplus confiscated and dis
tributed to retailers. Included in the
Klaber hoard was three hundred and
thirty-six cans of vegetables, one hun
dred forty-four pounds of sugar, one
hundred thirty-eight cans of fish and
eighty-four pounds of biscuits.
Admiral Sir Richard Poore, a magis
trate at Bradford-on-Avon, was fined
$180 for hoarding fifty pounds of tea,
and about a quarter of a ton of other
foodstufs. The admiral's alibi that he
was a vegetarian and his house was
so isolated that it was necessary to
keep large stocks, fell upon deaf ears.
The food controllers politely expressed
regret that they were forced to judge
a judge, but laid on the stiff fine.
Mrs. Evodia Hughes of Carmarthen
averred that her reason for purchas
ing one hundred two pounds of meat
in ten days was because her St. Ber
nard dog had a weak heart and re
quired careful feeding, but the judge
fined her $250, disregarding the dog’s
weak heart.

Sam Feldon, proprietor of the Capi
tal Coffee House at Juneau, recently
made a valuable find there in the
shape of a pouch of jewelry. He be-1
lieves that it was probably lost byj
one of the Evans’ passengers, and has!
turned it over to the bank there!
awaiting a claim by the owners.
