Wounded 170,02ft.

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.

The fttate Council of Defense acting,

building permits, involving heavy work
