1763 ADDED TO ROLL
Ttirta typlcat Instances of the long
and Inexplicable delay In the reporting
of-casualties which have been notcil bo
often of late, were discovered while
verifying today's official list. PrUate
Nicholas Dl Marco, wounded in the arm
in July 12, had been back with his com
pany many months and seen much hard
fighting before the Government notice
reached his mother last week. Dl Marco
enlisted In July of last year and was
assigned to Company L. Ninth Infantry,
regular army. He lived ut 4813 Paschall
avenue.
The case of Corporal Harry L. Slclus
Is even more puzzling and Infinitely more
aggravating to his family. He was
wounded In June and later was shell
shocked, so far as his family can make
out No word was received from th
War Department, but In Augubt a letter
came from the young soldier merely
mentioning that ha was In a hospital
His family wrote to the War Department
for details and last week after a delay
ot two months, a letter was received
from Washington, saying he had been
shellshocked. Two days later came an
official telegram saying the corporal had
been wounded on June 28.
His parents are not sure whether he
was wounded and shell shocked,
wounded or shell shocked only. Also
they would Ilka to Know -nneiner ne

serious condition. 3iclus fs a ma

Railroad, when ho enlisted In July of
He was trained at Gettysburg and
sent overseas last spring as a member
of Company C, Seventh Regiment, reg
ular army. A brother, Arthur II Slclus,
Is a cook with Company D, Third In
fantry, regular army.
The third Instance of official tardiness
that cropped up today was that of Pri
vate Austin Hudson, of 4011 Iteno
street. He was shellshocked In July.
Letters had been received from him long
ago telling of his being awav from his
regiment, but not giving many details
as to his condition. He rejoined his
unit. Company K, 109th Infantry, on
October 24. More than a month later
came the olufflclal War Department tel
egram stating that he had been "wound
ed" on July 18, but giving no additional
details.
There are 1750 names on the com
bined casualty lists for today, includ
ing 17T from Pennsylvania. The total
for Philadelphia and district is sixty
six, twelve having been killed In ao Ion,
four having died of wounds, forty hav
ing been wounded, four gassed and five
reported missing.
