STAGGERING FIGURES

The figures about these mi
CrationS are in themselves stag
gerinC. We have not all the
figures, but il is likely that
nearly fifth OF the living
population of the world is more
or less completely removed
from what was its normal en-
vironment in 1885.
In England approximately
million civilians have been re-
moved from heavily bombed
areas.
There arc 100000 strangers,
prisoners and civilians, at work
in Germany.
Since 1888 permanent migra-
tions have occurred from GerS
many and its captured countries
al the rate of 100000 a year
The most striking of these So
called repatriation movements
has been the transfer Of Ger
manic people in the Baltic,
Polish, BeSsarabian and Russian
areas in 1899 and 1910. This
involves ar least 100000 people.
When Russia took Finland about
SOC 900 persons moved out OF
the territory coded TO Russia.

Phi Alpha Delta, eminent law

of playing Hamlet without the Dane
last night, but everything came out
all right.
The organization had planned to
induct into its ranks Associate
Justice Owen J. Roberts of the
Supreme Court at a ceremony in
which the chapter of Temple Uni
versity was named in his honor.
1t developed, however, that another
fraternity claims the jurist, and as

Lost-Mon Club Meets Again
With Its Rolls Still Intact
Two Young Marines Are Toasted
By Veterans of World War

May you throw long shadow"
This was the toast which several
members of the Last Man Club lifted
last night to two youngsters in
Marine uniforms who dropped in on
the annual club banquet.
The banquet hosts were World
War veterans, middle-aged and
more, who sang the old campaign
songs and remembered the time they
were young enough to wear the
uniform-Army, Navy and Marine
Corps. The dinner was held at the
Capital Park Hotel.
The club is an organization of
100 veterans of the World War who
meet once year around a bottle
of Chianti wine which will be drunk
by the last survivor.
The members of the club refuse
to take themselves seriously. They
kid each other, and they try to
keep well, as evinced by the fact
that no member has died since the
club of 100 was formed four years
ago. The spirit of the members is
gay, with touch of grimnesS.
Col. Oehman New President.
Mai. Gen. Amos A. Fries, retired,
made brief speech.
81 am the oldest member" he said.
"with very little life expectancy and
) lot of hope. I spent half of last
year in the hospital. Yet here I am
getting around again. I am glad to
zee such husky bunch.
IT think there are times when a
mans nerve keeps him living. The
nan who sits down and waits for
death doesn't have to wait long
Good health to you ALL"
The white haired general received
O great round of applause
In fact, his talk was about the
only one to which the veterans gave
undivided attention. They were in
clined to joke with the new presi-
dent, Col. John w. Oehmann, to
whom a Chianti bottle was delivered
by the retiring head of the club,
Robert Slater.
Just to cheer up the veterans. Dr.
William T. Gill, jr., recited life in
surance statistics as a means of
judging the probable time of death
of the members.
All Military Ranks Included.
About 20 will be dead, he said, in
20 years, and in 1866 43 will be dead.
SiXty-seven members, he predicted
cheerfully, will have passed away by
1871, and 80 by 1874. BY 1875, he
added thoughtfully, all will be dead.
"Hooray," cried the members,
"Hooray, hooray!"
The club is patterned after one
formed in the Middle West by vet
Grams of the Civ1 War. The last
survivor came to Washington about
eight years ago. He said that the
bottle of wine had turned sour and
he lacked the stomach to drink it
when the time came. But this

Whether aid to French war prison.

problem posed for members Of the
Co-ordinating Council Of French Re-
lief Societies, who met for luncheon
at the Sulgrave Club yesterday.
Miss Anne Morgan, guest Of hon.

Aid to Americas armed forces
also will be added to the organiza-
tion's program, she indicated.
Mr.. Herman, who is author Of
France on Berlin Time" described
the councils work as an arm of
war"
Every package that holds up the

weapon against the enemy, a blow
against Hitler" Mr.. Herman de-
clared.
Mr.. Herman also predicted that

The protection of mercy ships"
under international law would not
alone assure their passage, but the
possibility of reprisals against Axis
prisoners would aid delivery, he de-
clared. THE Germans care about
reprisals," he remarked.

Ancient Wars Left Mark
On Garden Of Eden

DR.. c. w. Lowdermilk, agricultural
expert of London, points out that
wars of a thousand years ago have
left their mark on the prosperity OF
Iran, Irak and Palestine.
The valleys of the Tigris and
Euphrates have never really recov-
cred. Now oil wells are replacing the
tradition of the Garden of Eden.
Iran and Irak suffered worst in the
peace that followed strife, because
the farmers had been driven out and
irrigation systems left to destruction.
In ancient times Phoenicians in
hilly Palestine terraced the open
fields with stone on the sides Of the
hills, and harvests were rich. Came
Assyrians and Hittites and other
warriors to trample all into dust.
The fields washed into the rivers as
fences fell and Palestine became
again a dust bowl.

Sound Waves Employed
To Find Schools of Fish

. 1t is reported that sound waves
are being used in Germany to 10
cate schools of fish. A little device
called the ultra sound-wave echo
lote" enables trawlers, fishing
smaeks and whalers easily to trace
shoals without going much astray.
The instrument has been used
also in Scandinavian harbors, Eng
land, and Denmark as a result Of
the success in Germany.
