Papers Will Get Casualty Lists Sooner
The War Department has adopted a new system to deliver casualty lists to newspapers faster. Cards are punched with soldier data and processed to create telegrams to relatives, reducing delays caused by manual typing and stencil reproduction. The change aims to have lists reach papers within days of word of a casualty.
