TRENCH AND CAMP

GIVE ADDRESSES
WITH CASUALTIES

WASHINGTON, MAY 2.--The War
Department will resume tomorrow
publication of the home addresses of
men reported on the casualty lists
from France. Orders to that effect

have been issued and the list given
out tomorrow morning will be in the
old form followed prior to Secretary
Baker's instructions sent from
France early in April.

This action means that it has been
determined that any military infor-
mation the enemy might gain from
the lists would not be of sufficient
value to justify the added anxiety
among the relatives of soldiers oc-
casioned by suppression of this aid
to positive identification. It ends a
controversy that was waged in con-
gress between the War Department
and the committee on public infor-

mation and which President Wilson
himself was called upon to take a
hand in settling.

When the department began is-
suing casualty lists without addresses
the committee on public information
refused to handle them on the
ground that they were of no news
value in that form. Since then the
lists have been made public by the
adputant general's office direct.
Army officials are inclined now, it
is understood, to continue with the
present arrangement, holding that
the committee went wholly out of its
proper field in refusing to handle the
limited lists.

COMPETITIVE DRILL.

A competitive drill was held Satur-
day, April 27th, by the 12th Const.
Co. The company was divided into
four platoons. Sergt. M. Mulkeen was
in charge of the fourth. The drill and
exercises was witnessed and judged by
a number of officers from other com-
panies. The Fourth took the honors.
They were presented with a pennant
which now fles in front of the fourth
platoon headquarters. Each member
was also presented with a number of
smokes by Second Lieutenant Cozier.

Gillette Safety Razor
[Two soldiers are standing. One has a shaving brush. The other hands him a safety razor.]
The Name "Gillette"
Means the Same Thing
to Every Fighting Man

THE severest test of the usefulness of anything is--
will it fit the soldier's need.

The fighting men of the Allied Armies and Navies
use more Gillettes than of all other makes of razors put
together.

They have proved the quality of the Gillette shave--
with even the most tender skin and the most stubby beard.

There isn't a shaving condition anywhere on earth
that the Gillette hasn't solved--No Stropping, No Honing
--blades always sharp, always ready.

If you have a boy or a boy friend in the Service, or
likely to be called to the Colors give him a Gillette--com-
plete, compact, no strops or hones to clutter up the kit.

Have You Seen the New Gillettes
Specially Designed for
the Fighting Man?

THESE models were designed by mem-
bers of the Gillette organization who
have seen service with the Colors and
know what the soldier is up against.

Hundreds of officers and men are buy-
ing them--the U. S. Service Set in metal
case, and the new Khaki-covered sets for
Uncle Sam's soldiers and officers.

The Gillette is the one razor for the
man who is doing things--the one razor
with world-wide use and reputation.

When a man wants new Blades he can
get them at any Post Exchange or Y. M.
C. A. Hut--here in America or Overseas.

Our Paris Office carries stocks--is con-
stantly supplying the American Expedi-
tionary Forces. Gillette Safety Razors
and Blades on sale everywhere in France,
England, Italy and the Eastern battle
fronts.
