Few Enemy Aliens

claimed by disease in japanese
prison camps is approximately one
sixth the total of Americans killed
outright or dead from wounds from
Pearl Harbor until last July 7
the date of the last casualty total
released by the War Department.
Fort Missoula, Mont, and Fort
Lincoln, N. D., are the enemy aliens
camps used as a basis of COMPARE
son. Four deaths occurred during
the past year among the average OF
1.l58 japanese and italian enemy
aliens at Fort Missoula. The aver
age age of those who died was 585
years.
At Fort Lincoln four died among
the average population of 756 Ger
mans and Japanese. One of these
was a Japanese who committed
suicide. The average age of those
who died was As.

ed that the causes listed would indi-
cate that many of these deaths
were avoidable.
Some of the deaths are attributed
to diphtheria, measles, beri beri,
pneumonia and other ailments not
regarded as necessarily fatal.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.-(UP)-
Disease in the past year has killed
only one out of every 273 enemy
aliens, including japanese, intern
ed in this coEntry, as contraSted
with an average since the fall OF
Corregidor of one out of every lO
American soldiers in Japanese pris-
on camps.
This is revealed by comparison
Of u. S. Department of Justice rec
ords for two enemy alien camps and
those of the International Red
Cross for Japanese.
Although the exact period of time
spanned by the japanese prison
camp deaths is not known, it Is
assumed to be approximately one
year.
On that basis, it would follow U.
S. bureau of census provisional
figures for 1912 a death rate of l0.4
persons per 1000 population.
Furthermore it was pointed out,
American army personnel previous
" would have been Culled from a
group with physical qualifications
which normally would assure an
above-par resistance to disease
fatality.
Their life expectancy as a group
would be greater than that OF the
civilian populace or enemy alien
camp interneeS.
However, disease has killed 1874
of the nearly $4,000 Americans
captured on the Philippine islands,
according to the International Red
Cross reports to the War Depart
ment.
Translated into mortality rates,
this means American army men
have died from disease at the rate
Of 90 per 1,0C0 in Japanese prison
camps.
Contrasted with this is the fact
that disease took a toll of OF per
l,00O among U. S. personnel last
year at home and abroad.

Bookkeebers for n Nation

Unleraided! Unsnng! lis time TO praise
the bookkeebers of our nation for, without
them, the wheels of industry wonfd not turn
to produce vital war materials and keep supplies
rolling UP to the home front and on to you.
WITHouT machines to help them do this job,
hundreds upon thousands of new bookkeepers
would be needed to keep our records, and millions
of hours would be stolen from our war effort.
National Typewriting Bookkeeping Machines
in industry, in business and in government are
speeding record making and record keeping for
the nation because they are simple and easy to
operate. i. . Any typist with knowledge OF an
adding machine keyboard becomes proficient
operator with few hours practice.
Nationals are flexible d. for they can be
changed to do all sorts of bookkeeping 4. . like

National Typewriting Bookkeeping Machines,
as we'll as ali other National products and sys-

Buffalo Over the Counter
portland Oregonian)

portland Oregonan)
Two buffaloes came into town the other day
slaughtered and dressed, all the way from the yell
lowstone to be featured in the markets of chain
store organization These are novelty as well as
contribution toward solving the meat shortage
Doubtless there are many westernerS who remember
when buffalo meat was the common fare OF the
plains in times when the herds spread like dark
seas over the limitless prairie In those times the
hide hunters and painsmen utilized little OF the
great carcass except the tongue and the hump, which
they lowed to be the choicest portions. The plains
tribes, whose tenure of fierce freedom ehoeo WIN
the disappearance of the buffalo, never abused the
gift of providence did the casual, bloody-hanoeo
white man. But there is no need to mourn the
buffalo for the decimated species of great game
animal somehow survived-and that is another story.
O NJ -Plummer-who by the way, wasn't a
plansnan-says that buffalo steak is comparable TO
beef but not to the best beef To raise buffalo Tor
the market is profitable because of the universal
desire to sample the meat which was the stout pro-
vender of the Sioux and the haired scout. The
way MI Plummer looks at the matter is that range
for buffalo range for beef critters-so why bother
with buffalo? But the hide of the buffalo would be
admirable for troops in winter service in cold CHI
mate great many people remember when every
third citizen had buffalo overcoat and every sleigh
and pung was equipped with a buffalo robe. Upon
this reflection Mr. Plummer somewhat modified bus
dubiety Considering the meat and the hides, there
probably is considerable future for the buffalo
raising industry.
Between the Yakima River and the Columbia
there has for years been buffalo herd the property
of O. D Gibson of Yakima. The buffalo presumably
are happy there, for the range is we'll suited but 1t
isn't the intent of their to provide eleemosy-
nary conditions for his rufninant wards. Mr.. Glib
son whites that herd down regularly and judici-
ousy and ships his buffalo beeves to Seattle, where
the meat finds ready market 1t being a logical
assumption that the Yakima buffalo breeder isn't
in the business for his health-though where would
you find healthier occupation?-it should follow
that there is money to be made in raising buffalo.
Indeer another source of revenue suggests itself
Why not take a few of the herd on tour OF the
Indian reservations, and charge the redmen TWO bits
ticket to them? One does not intend this as
a crude jest But perhaps it wouldn't be advisable
to exhibit the sorry remnant of their once tribal
property TO the Indians Even reservation Indian,
imagine, could stand only just about so much
before we should have to call out the cavalry again.

meeting such attacks-and especially in the Pacific
were too little and too late
In the last analysis the responsibility for Pearl
Harbor must rest on the lack of two elements es-
sential in all warfare-a carefully study OF enemy
psychology and a well-developed military intel-
gence service No successful military operations are
possible without them But our studies in enemy
psychology even within the armed forces were
fudimentary before the war and are even now pur-
sued for the most part in the hardest way possible
namely, through actual contact with the enemy
and our military intelligence was virtually non
existent,
For the sake of our own morals and Ideals we
may be loath TO adopt general study of the men
tally Of our enemies in our schools or colleges But
it should integral part of the military currlcu
lurl And the establishment of permanent military
intelligence service is matter of funds, for which
