President Wilson’s address here
last Friday ‘to a party of Mexican
newspaper editors is expected to-be
recognized as one of his most im
portant war utterances. It dealt al
most wholly with PanoAmericanism
by agreement among the Pan-Amer
icans, and the President took the
opportunity to send back to the
Mexican people through ninety newe-
'paper editors a message to empha
sise the disinterestedness of the
United States in all its part of the
fight for world democracy.
The address was printed In Mexico
City Monday morning and it was
the intention of officials not to glee
It out for publication In America
newspapers but to let It come back
here from Mexico.
This derision, however, wna re

Casualties among the -American
expeditionary forces thus far re
ported by General Pershing. Includ
ing Sunday's list total 7,315, the
war department announced In mak
ing public the first of the regular
weekly summaries of casualties.
Deaths In action and from wounds,
diseases, accidents and all other
causes numbered 2,927, while 4,046
men have been wounded and 43 are
missing in action, including men held
prisoners in Germany.
The department’s recapitulation
follows:
Killed in action (including 291 at
sea), 1,033. / *
Died of wounds, 310.
Died of disease, 1,192.
Died of accidents and other causes
392.
Wounded in action, 4,046.
Missing in action (Including pris
oners), 342.
Total. 7,315.
While no official explanation was
give# for the decision of the depart
ment to advise the country weekly
of the exact total of casualties since
the Isnding of the first American
forces Jn France last June. It Is un
derstood that It resulted largely
from wlde-apreac reports that casu
alties had been very heavy and that
fetal figures were being withheld
from the public.
It has b^n explained at the de
partment that the dallv lists seat by
General Pershlag are lasaed with aa
little delay aa possible The ease-
eltles are so scattered la the lists
that they do net gtve information of
mlao to the esemy. bet this does not

TO REOTEN EXEMPTION
MANY MEN TO BE MOVED
Variety of Exemptions Allowed Vary
Highly in IHfferent States and in
* Counties of Same State*—Deferred
Classes to Be Carefully booked
Into for Basis of Classification.
Reclassification under the selec
tive service law is demanded by Pro
vost Marshal General Crcwdcr in a
telegram to Governor Manning,
which has been transmitted to the
various local boards.
“Special attention should be given
to tho boards showing the lowest un
explained percentages,’’ says Gener
al Crowder, “but it is important also
that corrective procedure should be
applied where nececsary in case of
boards showing unusually high per
centages of class one. Where there
are no #&pparent explanations for
such high percentages you should
make Inquiry of the proper boards
with a view to ascertaining whether
the boards have correctly applied
the regulations." saya the provost
marshal general.
The whole telegram means a gen
eral checking up and balancing to
see that there has been fair dealing
throughout It Is a* follows
“Whew the new 4 quota bill, ap
portioning quota* on the strength of
advisory hoards art awl limited to
th# damn of come above indicated
but th# same comet I ve measures
should be appllnd to all other caam
of deferred daaalflraitoa when the
same appears necessary.
“Local boards should set aside a
special weel la June to be called.
Class One Week to conduct examin
ation of doubtful cases If the num
ber presented Is large, the local
board should divide Itself Into com
mittees of one to conduct “xatnina-
tions and to hold hearings and then
report to the full board.
“Classlficatlcms should be scienti
fically adjusted now so as to avoid
the necessity of proceeding to the
deferred classes. The remedy is
yours to apply.
“Special attention should be giv
en to the boards showing the lowest
unexplained percentages, but it is
important also that corrective proce
dure should be applied where neces
sary in case of boards showing un
usually high percentages of class 1.
Where there are no apparent ,ex
planations for such high percent
ages. you should make inquiry of
the proper boards with a view to as
certaining whether the boards have
correctly applied the regulations.
“Also instruct all local boards to
reexamine under the new standards
of physical examination now belnn
Issued all doubtful cases which may
have felled Into group B. group C, or
group D, either under the original
examination by the hoards, or upon
rejection at ramp, with the particu
lar purpose of finding men physi
cally fit for general military service
who may have been placed la on#*
of the above mentioned groups and
of removing to group (’. as qualified

The French official announcement
that another phase of the German
offensive was opened between Mont-
didier and Noyon was interpreted
by the public in Paris as having a
hopeful aspect. The point was made
that the latest attack is on a front
of only 15 to 18 miles, compared
with a front of 50 miles for the first
offensive this year, on March 21 and
of 25 miles for the attack along
the Aisne on May 27. This Is re
garded as an Indication of diminu
tion of the power of the attacking
masses.
The attack. It is added, has hem
no surprise as It was made Just
where anticipated and where, there
fore. |>refM«rations had hern ma«!e to
resist It to the best advantage. The
use in the offictul communication of
the term “covering sone" Is taken
to show that the ene*ny aa yet has
gained no advantage in the first po
sition although the attacking side,
after preparation with aiploelre
shells and poisonous und of bee gas

from aggression from us and I have
repeatedly seen an uneasy feeling on
the part of representatives of the
states of Central and South America
that our se1f-af>poi<nted protection
might be for our own benefit and our
own interests and not for the in

said:
“ ‘Let us have a common guaran

that if any of us, the United. States

reason or another some of the per-

Instruct the legal advisory boards
to call to their assistance such as
