War era notes and casualty roll in mixed dispatches
United States and French wartime notes appear amid casualty lists and a local court hearing. An item on Charles Long facing charges for a mock sale parallels a Washington treasury sale story while Butte mourns the death of May Pohndorf. A long casualty roster from Washington reflects 39 names, detailing killed, wounded, missing and prisoners in action. An official note from Paris, on the eve of a German offensive, asks Americans to stand with France in the fight for right.
