(By the Associated Press.) The recent Marne fighting baa Illustrated sharply the difficulties tn prompt reporting the casualties. The army authorities keenly realised the anxiety prevailing at home this first extended action largely participated tn by the American forces and the whole machinery of casualty reports has been worked to the limit within the basic "rule of accuracy before speed. The system of keeping track of every man of the American expeditionary forces is well organized, but it la gigantic It radiates from the central record office where ia kept the complete history of every officer and man and civilian worker. Facta concerning every casualty are rushed by courier to the central records office, where a check is made against his name and a record to pre rent confusion and to Identify him. rhen a message la prepared and checked back and then cabled to Washing on, where the next of kin is notified md the list published.

The work is done as expeditiously is possible and were it not for battle conditions beyond human remedy the American people might read each day's roll of honor the next day. In trench fighting and in small operations It is possible to make almost immediate casualty reports, but in a warfare of movement involving large numbers and extended territory such as the Marne battle, the task becomes difficult and slow, despite the best torts or the authorities. The regulations reauire that every report of killed, wounded or missing must be established beyond a doubt Units moving fdrward for hours under heavy fire, losing men on the way, cannot pauae to check casualties. These must come later from dressing stations, hospitals or burying parties operating In the wake of the advanc Selcheprey a certain American unit was isolated for nearly two days by i of the unit sacrificed their lives of fire.
