Axis War Strength
Hitler has been able to muster
an estimated 12.000.0O0 men into
the armed services and auxiliaries,
OF which some 210 out OF 800 divi.
sions OF troops are on the Russian
front. About 35 to AZ divisions
are required to garrison occupied
territories. fighting guerrillas In
central Europe and guarding
against an allied invasion. This
probably is a peak for the Axis.
II it fails to crack the Red army
this summer. experts doubt that
such striking power can ever be
modified by the enemy again.
Production
Germany is turning out between
100 and $500 airplanes a month
and IS to Is submarines. but the
rate is slipping downward. Hitler
may have $4,000 planes available
but many are out-dated. He has
plenty OF war materials for the
time being. but oil. cotton, wool
and other vital materials are run
ming short in Italy and interfer-
ing with his effort TO make that
country a main workshop of the
Axis war machine. Hitler must
get Russian resources soon or suf-
fer Gripping shortages OF raw
materials.
The Germans suffered probably
100000 casualties In Russia, in
Guiding 100000 killed. Two and
three members of many families
have been killed.
Labor

children are also being crowded
into factories, but there is q
shortage OF 100000 farm workers
for spring planting.
Transportation
Deterioration OF train service
due to neglect and shortage OF ma
terials is increasing despite seiz
ure OF 100000 freight cars and >.
900 locomotives in France THIS is
one OF the most acute war prob

Flying Box Cars Will Soon
 Carry Troops
By John Grover s..Iu RorI1 Features Writer

WASHINGTON - Sky-filling fleets of flying box cars, toting whole armies and their supplies to the world fronts at 200 miles an. hour are a just-around-the-corner| development in the military picture.
 Henry J. Kaiser, the West Coast, miracle builder, wasn't just talking through his hat when he proposed conversion of nine major shipyards to freight plane plants turning out 360 seyenty-ton cargo planes a month. The Army has announced construction of an Illinois plant Do make planes of "two-boxcar' eapa- city. That's the way the winds blowing.
 This accelerated development of the air-freight program is strictly necessity's baby.
 Military air freight is being flown right now. In the first five months of 1922, U. s. pilots flew 6.OO0.000 miles with supplies for Australia. The Chungking Ferry Command under Brig. Gen. Earl Maiden is in some measure taking the place of the lost Burma Road. Critical materials have been flown to Britain, Russia and the Near East.
 Converted Airiners
 The cargo planes now being used are largely converted commercial planes, some 200 of which were re- quisitioned from U. s. airlines. The bulk of them are 13-tonners.
 The longer the hop, the more gas and fewer war goods must be car ried. About three tons of payload is a fair average of munitions per- plane. The number of cargo planes, ' in service now is secret. To get some idea of present capacity, let's ar- bitrarily assume 400 planes are car rying three tons apiece at 200 miles an hour. That figures to a maxi mum capacity of 5,760,O00 ton- miles a day.
 It sounds like lot, but actually, | it illustrates the chief handicap of the cargo planes available now. Those imaginary 400 planes could haul only as much as two Liberty ships, which carry 9,164 tons apiece about 312 miles a day. Thus each Liberty ship has daily capacity off 2,853,552 ton-miles.
 Emergency is Now
 The ultimate answer, Of course, is bigger planes. The emergency isi right now, however, and the Army Transport Command under Major General Harold George couldn't wait for the big dream planes" on the drafting boards.
 Aeronautical engineers talk con- fidently of 200-ton and 500-ton planes. It takes several years of pa- tient experiment. however, before big new job can be built and flown. The biggest successfully test-flown to date are the Army's B-19, an 82-ton landplane, and the 70-ton Navy seaplane Mars" The experi- menting's been done on these; the bugs" have been ironed out
 That's why Kaiser suggested building his proposed 5,000-plane cargo fleet on the Mars model.
 Even the most enthusiastic adyo- cates of air freight don't contend that cargo planes will supersede surface vessels. It would take 92,- 900 7O-tonners to equal the ton mile capacity of the 2,30O cargo vessels we're scheduled to build in 1942-43.
 But 5000 cargo planes could
