Names of Wounded Will be Sent br Courier Twice • Week. Washington, Sept. T.—Under a new policy or reporting casualties in the American expeditionary forces adopt ed by the war department the United States by courier twice a week and only the names of the dead and Biasing will be cabled by General Pershing when the system is fully in effect. In nuking this announcement to day, General March, chief of staff said General Pershing had not heretofore sent in the names of men slightly wounded, because generally the men had returned to duty before the names reached the United States. In reply to an inquiry from the department General Pershing had reported. Gen eral March said, that there were 20, 000 such casualties up to August 20. Under the new plan, the names of all the wounded will be sent to the U. S. by courier together with their hospital records so that a statement of the diagnosis can be furnished to! relatives of the men. "There ha been some discussion in | the United State* about our casualty hut*." Mid General March, "and the war department ha* been tryinjr to get in touch with the exact condition of casualties in Krance, because we bave heard from a number of sources of relative* at home receiving the in- ■ formation direct from their people in France of men being wounded when the war department had not notified, the relative at home. At an early stage in the reporting of casualties lists General Pershing asked for authority not to report slight casualties because the men would be back on the firing line before the report, after investigation, could reach the United States. It was thought then that it would simplify matters and prevent needless worry to relatives if that system were adop ted. "Of course, it is very well under stood that the opinion of a man who has been wounded may differ mater ially from the doctor's as its severi ty, and undoubtedly a great many men have written home telling about | wounds that the doctors had pro nounced light and which Pershing had listed as not being severe, when | the letters might indicate tothepeople »t home that they were severe. So I have gotten a report from General Pershing as to the numU'r of those casualties, in addition to those which he has published, so as to !>e able to give the farts to the American peo ple. I am giving the farts to the peo ple because I know they will fare any casualty list with determination and courage, whatever it i>.

Manchoater England—Two daya af ter tho British ) to ran thoir big drive on the Somme a ruak order for 5.000 aholla waa given ono of tho projectile, factories in thia diatnrt. So prompt-j ly waa tho order executed that tho aholla reached tho Brituh gunner* in timo to bo uaod for amaahing tho ene my'■ ft rat counter attack. Thia ahowa how eloaely tho muni tion plants are related to tho front and fives an idea of the remarkable degree of cooperation that oxiata be tween Uie aueil-maker at home and the aoldior in the field. The story of this district'* achieve mcnta in the manuf.icture of moni tion*, illustrated Py the actual opera tion*. was unfolded recently to a party of allied newspaper men, including a representative of the Associated Press \ which inspected thefactories under the' guidance of officials of the minwCy of munitions. The party saw a great industrial district, comprising the counties of Westmorland, Cumberland, Lancas shire, the whole of North Wales, and the Isle of Man, which had been con verted into a vast coordinated plant for the turning oat of war material. Everywhere wan evidence a4 bow the factories, abruptly terminating their peacetime work, had cleared deck for: wartime action. It wp.s June, 1915, that David Lloyd ' George, then minister of munitions, visited Manchester and told the manu facturers and buainess men that the country needed a huge supply of mu nitions and needed them at once. At that moment the great demand was for shells. THey most be had, not six months hence, bat immediately. The Manchester District Engineer ing Trades Employers, association railed a meetingfet once, at which non federate Arms were also represented. The chief question considered was whe-1 ther it was wiser to establish special' plants for the maunfacture of shells, or to utilize the resurces for the work available. It was derided to follow the second plan as it assured quicker results. Textile manufacture is the princi pal industry of the aMnchester die-J trict, and at first it appeared* that the machinery used in the textile fac tories was entirely unsuited to muni tions production. But by preserver-' ance and ingenuity the textile machin- i Hts have contrived to adapt their ma i'hi: ery so well to the work that they are now the larjjert shell producers in the region. At the beginning virtually only; •hell- were turned out. hut mutually* the field of manufacture was extended until now it covers, be>:<les shells, air plane-. motor transport vehicles, guns trench mortars and projectiles, hand grenade and bombs, mines, submar ine engine*, steam engines and tur bine-. scientific instruments and guag es, and a variety of other munitions, machinery and appliances used for warfare. * As an example of the concentrated energy now being employed in the Manchester district, it is pointed out that within a ten mile radius of the Manchester city hall the _>..VNi,OtV) po pulation employs 1,000,000 horse pow er. Eighty per cent of this energy is devoted to the manufacture of war; munitioni.
