indicates that Tokyo is in "for a
hot time" in more ways than one.
The next time Yank flyers raid
Tokyo the city win be showered
with thousands of devastating
fire bombs which may put a big
dent in the Pacific enemy's abil-
ity TO check Allied offensive

Don't Look for Single Raid K. o.
However, military experts warn
that this does not mean the So
called paper buildings of Japan
will be wiped out in one great
raid. Tokyo and other cities UNI
doubtedly have been taking pre-
cautions to check the spread of
flames in event of an incendiary
raid.
/ Credit for the fire bombs used
by the Allies goes to experts in

vice. The devices are clever mod
ern connterparts of one of the
eldest and most effective weapons
of war-crude fire balls used by
ancient armies.
The steamroller advance of the
Russian Armies into the Balkans
presents Hitler with one of his
greatest military problems
II has become militarily neces-
sary for the Germans to occupy
Hungary, Rumania and Slovakia
with troops, but some of these
undoubtedly have had to be with
drawn from numbers held in re-
serve to face the Allied invasion
from the west.
In addition, as German troops
march into the Balkans, underly-
ing ill-will towards Nazism
doubtlessly becomes more in
tense among the occupied popu-
lations.
Thus, every move made by the
German high commend to bolster
their eastern front creates new
unrest and use up more sorely
needed troops with which to face
the western invasion.

Artisans groan and walk out
when things don't suit them, do
nestle help skip from job to job,
and half the time don't job at
all. manual laborers grow fat
on incredibly high wages. Only
the white collar man stays put
on practically pre-war salaries
and pays-and pays-and pays.
Whether it's a new-fangled
pronunciation, or whether it has
prevailed in the Army since the
DAYS when the Americans were
part of the English Army Gossip
is not prepared to say, but folks
who listen to news of the United
States Armed Forces or a radio
some times hear the word depot
good old depo in the South
usually spoken of as dep-o. Like
wise, though the dictionary
Webster's at least-gives ra-shun
as the preferred way of saying it.
the Army is strictly fashioned
as to the way of expressing it.
Come to think of it, most of these
words, like the names of officers,
come to US from the French; lieu
tenant, captain, major, general,
colonel, etc, which in turn were
evolved from Latin. And now
there are those who are calling
S e-vas-to-pol Sev-as top-ol
Which is no doubt the proper pro-
nunciation. There's one thing that
folks are learning, and that is
the way natives pronounce their
own countries, cities, mountains,
lakes, etc. Time was when folks
spoke of the Him-a-lay-as. Now
it's Him-al-l-yas. And, by the
way, we hear reference to the
fact that the English say sec-ri
ia ry instead of e re tary as is
commonly said in this country.
Webster gives the first a. the only
pronunciation. He also places
the only accent, on the first syl-
liable of dictionary, making it dix
shun a-ri instead of dix shu nary
with the final ending also ac-
cented. It's the same with mill
tary, necessary missionary, sta
tionary and most words with sim
liar endings. Those pronuncia-
lions may be typieally English
but il is our English, too.

On what is regarded as the eve
Of the big invasion OF Europe,
with conflicting predictions as to
the casualties which will ensue
from that venture, ii is interest
ing to consider our casualties in
this war to date. And, likewise,
ii may be profitable to compare
these casualties with those of
World War /. In making these
comparisons, however, ii will be
we'll to take into consideration
that, while il is true that we have
several times nor men in uni-
form now than we did during
World War |, our ground force
engagements have had compara-
lively few men involved. There
have been no extended lines of
American doughboys engaged in
facing the enemy such as existed
in France during World War l.
Our engagements, with the ex-
ception Of the Philippines, have
largely been on small scales. The
figures comparing our casualties
IN World Wars l and ii are as
follows:
Army: Dead, World War /. 5o.-
ESQ; dead, World War %, 1892.
Wounded, World War !, 205,690,
wounded, World War ii, 55,066.
Missing, World War l, 46; missing
World War II, 28,0l4. Prisoners,
World War |, 4.480; prisoners,
World War II, %, 230.
Navy: Dead, World Wan |, g.
Goa; dead World War II, 1859.
Wounded, World ar /, 7.724;
wounded. World War II, 1L.505.
! Missing, World War !, 8; missing,
World War II, 1914 Prisoners,
World War l, 80; prisoners, World
War II. 4,42I.
These figures significantly
show, among other things, that
our Navy is playing a much great
er part in this war than it did
in Weird War |. The reason for
this, of course, is the fact that
we are waRing a war of attrition
against the widely scattered Emu
pre- ana possessions Of Japan. In
The last war the Japs were our
ally in name if not IN fact. And
as the war continues the NAVY
will play an ever-increasing role
in the war against the Japs. The
feet that our naval casualties TO
date total 43 $40 as compared
with only l0,S23 in tie first
World War illustrates this fact
most wildly. And while the fact
that our total casualties to date
are only f78,48l as compared with
a total of. 27l,319 ia the first
! World War is a source of gratifi-
cation, we must not become too
elated ever this in view Of the
fact that after the invasion We

War |. coming into contact on the
Eurcpean continent with some Of

The Chronicle-star combined with the Moss Point advertiser., 1944-04-28

troops.
Another significant thing is the
fact that in this war fewer of our
wounded sueoumb than in pre-
vious wars. Our methods of con-
serving lives are proving highly
successful. More than 81 percent
of our wounded survive; and more
than half Of those reported
wounded have already reported
back for duty. This in spite Of
the fact that our forces are scat
tered throughout a large part of
the world. This is due to inn
proved methods Of transporter
ton, particularly the airplane, and
the scientific advancement in sur
gerry and medicine. A man wound
ed on Gaudaleanal, for instance,
is given blood plasma, suffa
drugs, or other handy treatment
which the case warrants, on the
scene. If his wound is sufficient
~ serious, the next day he may
be in a base hospital in Australia,
Thousands of our wounded boys
have already been returned to
this country and are receiving ex-
pert treatment in the finest hos
pitfalls and with the best care that
medical science and money have
been able to provide.
Moreover, due to the sHpefiof-
ity of our weapons over those OF
the enemy, our ratio of killed and
wounded is much lower than hat
of the enemy. American troops
had a total Of only 49,05l casual
ties of all types in their co-opera-
ton with the British in wiping
out 348 5000 Axis forces in North
Africa. While in another theatre
of war the Americans killed four
Japs to every American lost ON
Attu, and thirty to one on Kwa-
jalein.
There are many people, both IN
high military circles and of the
armed char strategy variety, VINO
are making confident predictions
as to cur casualties when the big
push on the continent begins. Our
own thought about that is that
il is as difficult TO hazard a guess
in that field as it is 10 predict
the definite date of the termina-
ton Of hostilities. No one knows
just what preparation Hitler has
been able to make to receive our
invading forces-that is one Of
the CANDLES OF warfare. Ii is pos
sible that our military strategists
may effectuate our landings
where Hitler is the least prepared
and where our casualties may be
relatively small. Again, it is also
possible that we may run into
another surprise suen as we re-
reived at Tarawa, where ouT
losses were quite heavy.
