Prisoner* 2,103. v Missing 1,100, Total 230,117. 4 Whilo th?< total losses suffered by the American army in Franc* at tirst glnnce appeared to be. almost double the totul estimated by offlcerH here as prob able, analysis of the table, it was polnt ed out, show* that among the 170,000 \voun<Je<l , are Included the names bf thousands of men whose injuries were h<? trivial ^hat they never were admitted to hospitals and the record of their in Jury was kept- only in company and regi mental dressing stations. Tin- tyal total of killed died of wouuds'or disease, or In the unclassified death list, the se r foils I y wounded and the prisoners and missing, officers believe, will work out not in excess of 12o,000. Tfie official figures show also nearly double tlie number of deaths 'fro m dis ease than have been made public to date. No explanation has been forwarded by General Pershing, but it is assumed that the unexpected increase Is due to the wide distribution of American anil al lied hospitals to which the men Were sent, making it a slow process to assemble the data. The number of Americans taken pris oner by the Germans? little more than two thousand-r-is strikingly low in view ; of General March's announVement. that a total "n round numbers" of 14,000 Germans' hud been captured the Americans. The fact that the American armies have been moving forward con tinuously since it entered the battle doubtless accounts for the great differ ence. 1 . . . . 1 The 1.130 men reported inlasing prob ably include others who will be -found to have been captured, some wheat, bodies will hever be recovered find oth ers who may huve b'ecomc lost in the ranks of the French aud British force*. The classification also covers the uni dentified dead, always K> be expccted when great bodies of troops are engaged. General March said no report on the organisation of the army of occupation had been received, but that the divisions designated by<( General Parshing for re turn were among those . he could spare immediately. The order in which they will return has not been established. He also gave a&suranccs that the war department had uo intention of allow ing the veterans of the battlefields Of, France and Belgium "to sneak Into the country" unnoticed, but that timely an nouncement would be made so that ade quate receptions could be planned. 1 Secretary Baker supplemented (len eral March's outline of deufdlfilization plans later by stating that General Per shing was reducing bis army to aatrength of 30 divisions and would further re duce it as conditions justfy. At an average strength of 40,<KK) men to a di vision which would cover all necessary auxiliary forces, this would mean that General Pershing would retain 1,200,000 in France from which the actual army of occupation and its reserves would bo organized to provide against any pos sible emergency. General March showed that virtually all of the supplemental army corps and army troops are to bo withdrawn. He said he already had authorized General Pershing to Rend back railway artillery, arm.v artillery, gat troops and tank corps units in addition to the divisional organizations. Some of the divisions designated by General Pershing are dis placement units. RESTRICTION KKMOVKP Construction on IVoJects Of Every Kind Can Go Forward. Columbia. Nov. 22. ?
