Washington.—Omclnl tnlilcs of ttio majiir battle rnsuallios of tho Ameri¬ can foi'i't'S in l"niii('i', liia(h> imlillc by Gciiural .March, chief of sliilT, show tliat Hii|iroxliiiHt("ly lO.tMK.) men remain wholly uiiMccotmlcd for nearly three nieiiilis after Ihe eiidiiiK of hi.stllltlos. The deatbsi, niissiim and known jirls- oners are tabiilaleil up to .lainiary 10 fur each of the .'IU conibaliiiil divisions of (Ii'iiernl Per.shliiK's arniy. The tolal Is ,Mi,.'i',rJ, of wliDiii IT.l.'U are i lassllled as niisslng or caiiliired.

Koine portion of the great body of missing men may be located ns the return of the army Ihlns out the American force In I'rance. Indications are, however, that Ihe majority of the 10,000 Anally will be added to the roll of honor shown In the tables of those killed or died of wounds, now record¬ ed ns .TO.ISS men.
Total of Battle Deaths, 40,709. To that figure iiIm) must be added 1,5.')! nii'n of the marine brigade, flg- nres for which, not carried in the tables, Were obtnlned fmni official Bources. This brines ihe griind nKt;re- gale of deaihs from buttle up to 40,709 on returns ostlmaled oniciaily to be 95 per cent, complele. A.s tlguros on missing and prfsoners of the marines arf lacking, the number of unaccount¬ ed for whicii flmilly will be added to the roll of the dead cannot be accur- ttel.v   esliniated.

'Ibe war depart- mcnl statement slmws tbat the army rolls record 4,108 American military prisoners accounted for. AdnilttetUy, there are many possibilliie.s ot error, bur Ihe statement says It is ariticl- piited that Ihe indiiated unaccounted fur list of 12,.M0 will be brought "down to levs  Ihiitl   10,0lK>."
The tables do not furnish any data rpK^ii'ling the wounded or deaihs other Uiaii those resulting directly from battle. A new estimate of the com¬ plele flgures on American t'asualtios Is therefore not pf)8sible. It Is slgnifl- cmit, however, thai up to this time the war department has publlsluMl the ntinies of 4;!,882 men killed or died of wounds, as against ;U»,iri8 shown In the tC) per cent, tahles.

Presuma- by publication of the lists of these liiiown deaths and exclusive of the un- a .'oiinted for Is nearly completed, liivliij; exceeded the estimate by moro tl.un ,S,000, due In part, to additional Idtuihs from wounds and to the listing »8 dead of men formerly reported I missing.

New   Principle   to   Be   Applied   to   the Larger Territories  Involved—Taak
of   Keeping  Order  in  Ottoman "       Empire   to   Be   Divided.
I'aris. The aniiouiMi'meiil was mada In aulhorilatlve quarters that the great colonial powers, notably (Jreat Hrltain and France, had a<<epted in principle the American proposal put forward by President Wilson for the league of na¬ tions exercising supervision over tha German colonies and allotting llieir ad¬ ministrallon to mandatory powers.
'I'he     provisional     urrujigeiuent     to
which the communication refers is the
¦ptance   in   principle   of   President
.. iison's   plan   of  mandatory   admlnla-
terilig of the coli.)tiies.
The reference to Ihe occupied terrl- ; tory of Turkey In .\sia indbates that .Mesopoiamiu, Palestine, Armenia and Syria ure brought within liie scope of this new iiolicy of dealing wiih the cot on ies.
Thus suddenly ha.s come within range of inucilcal accomplishment ona of the mo.st sweeping changes iu colo¬ nial management that ever have oc¬ curred. The basic Idea of this i>ollcy is that the colonies will l»e admlnlster- e<l by nmndate for the benefit of their own people and not exjiloited as prnflt \ making ciiterpri.ses by the powers clnimlng them.
While ai'eeptance of the principle la with the condition that the details may be worked out on a practical basis, yet exchanges nmonf the powers leud to the belief that the details will ba formulated for ai'ieptante by all iha colonies and powers, including (ireat Hrilaln. Flame, .Lipan, I'.elgian and Portugal. The iiiosi formidable oppo¬ sition has come from Premier Hughes of .•Viistriilla, who has maintained that niivtliing short of outright annexation of .New Guinea to .\iisirnlia might en- dnn;:er the frie!ell\ feeling toward the mother com

Acceptance of the new principle ta construed aa Hi'pl.ving not only to the '¦ol.uiies. but alsn as the establishment of a precedent of the fair dealing which will previiil when the large ter¬ ritorial question> .me up for decision later.
