Gen. Pershing Reports 38 Missing in Action, The Largest Total Listed on Any Single Day
Washington, May 13. - The War Department today made public a list
of 96 casualties in the American army abroad, bringing the total from the
beginning to 5,489. The list contains the names of 38 missing in action, making the net total
missing in action 124 men. This is the largest number of missing given out in one day, and is interpreted as meaning that the
department is feeding into the daily casualty list the names of men whom the Germans profess to have taken prisoner in the recent
battle at Seicheprey.
The department also announced today that Captain R. M. Deming of
Balston Spa, N.Y., previously reported as missing, was now reported as a
prisoner. The names of three other commissioned officers appear in the list.
Lieutenant Guy Raymond Forbes of Minneapolis died of disease. Lieutenant
Walter T. O'Donohue of Hartford was wounded slightly. Lieutenant Joseph
P. Burke of Pittston, Penn., is missing in action.
