AMERICAN CASUALTIES
TOTALLED OVER 286,000
A despatch from Washington
says: -•Revised figures made public
on Thursday by the War Department
showed that the total casualties of
the American Expeditionary Forces
during the war was 286,044. Battle
deaths numbered 48,909, and the to-
tal of wounded was placed at 287,185,
with the explanation that this repre-
sented a duplication of about 7,000
by reason of the fact that many men
were wounded more than once.
