$4,000 Japs Are
Killed by Yanks
Foe Reported to Haze Four
Million Men in Field.

WASHINGTON. - United States
troops have killed at least 277, 600
Japanese at a cost of 81, 1000 Amer
lean fatalities, the Office of war in
formation revealed in a report
which said that Japan already had
4,OOO,OOO men in the field and could
comfortably equip and train an adj
ditional 1000, 900. The ratio of Jap
anese to American fatalities was
more than Is to l.
Japan is nowhere near the bottom
of the barrel in fighting reserves and
a recruit added millions from sub
ject nations, Owl said in a detailed
summation of the characteristics,
equipment and organization of Jap
anese troops based on war depart
ment information.
In addition to the 277, 900 Japanese
killed in combat, $50, 900 are in iso-
lated island pockets, cut off from
battle or rescue. Japanese dead
since 1887, outbreak of the war with
China, total about $50, 900. owl said
vac O0PoA INV ldS dOOQb N,OOO,OOO
troops in China.
The Japanese, the report said, r
hard, ~fanatical fighters ''but despite
their extensive training and conf
dence in the bayonet, they have not
been outstanding in close combat"
The average Japanese soldier is
five feet, three inches tall and
weighs 11712 pounds. The average
American soldier is five feet, eight
inches tall and weighs las pounds.
The war department, Owl said,
vehemently denied that the average
Jap was a Stupid, insensate peas
ant" and pointed to his two years of
high school education. Furthermore,
between 40 and so per cent of all
Jap soldiers have studied English
and about one-fourth of the Japa-
nese army speaks English efficient

French Joyous,
Foe Raze Town
Nazis Ravage Valley When
People Defy Himmler's
Demand for Labor.

G~ERARDMER, FRANCE. - The
Germans burned and blasted sc
miles of the once beautiful Meurthe
river countryside of eastern France
in an orgy of destruction planned
as methodically as a military cam
paign, the mayor of this ruined town
said.
Special engineers Grated pyres OF
gasoline and straw, weighted down
with furniture, in most homes and
farm buildings. Large houses were
destroyed with aerial bombs. Spe-
cial squads went through factories
and broke up all machines with
sledgehammers.
The 60-year-old mayor, Andre
Boucher, told about the destruction
after correspondents had driven
through the valley of the Meurthe
en- route from the American Seventh
army to the French First army Sec
tor. The valley was a scene of in
credible destruction. Almost all the
houses, whether clustered in ham,
let's or isolated far up the noun
t~ainsides, were destroyed by fire or
explosives.
Carefully Planned.
The houses were destroyed by a
special SIS Command Post for De-
struction," which, the mayor said,
descended upon Gerardmer on
November 9. The area was divided
into sections, each under a chief of
destruction. All were connected by
phone with a central headquarters,
where a lowering SIS officer sat
with a map on which was drawn the
plan of devastation.
The mayor said Heinrich Hmm
Ter, German gestapo chief, had Wis
tied Gerardmer on September z to
confer with six German generals.
While taking a cold bath in the
lake, Himmler saw many boys and
girls enjoying themselves.
"How is it." Himmler demanded
of the mayor, ''that these French
youths r able to amuse themselves
while the young men of Germany
fight for the Fatherland?"
LAloI li4SliI, IllG llldJO1 odlQ, q 1C1-
man soldier brought him an order
from Himmler that all males from
IA to 60 must be assembled to build
Notifications for the Germans. On
November 8 the Germans took 600
men off to the woods, but 500 es-
capped. The next day the mayor was
ordered to appear before the Ger
man commandant, who showed him
a map with a small area in the
center outlined in red ink. 1
All to Be Destroyed.
"He told me that the entire popu-
lation of that area, IL by 8 miles,
must join together in an area less
than a square mile, which would be
spared from destruction" the may
or said. Everything, the comman-
said, would be destroyed. He
said he did not know why-that it
was an order from above"
That day the Germans went into
action as the people of the valley
fearfully assembled in their as
place. By November 16, the
mayor said, all the houses were
burning.
"On November 18 the Germans
we're gone and we were alone in our
the mayor said. "On Novem-
Der 10 the French arrived. There
vas no demonstration. We were
glad to see them. But what sorrow

Roof CauIking

Usually, roofs are the most
neglected parts of buildings because
they are awkward to get at. Small
leaks may quickly become big ones
and result in serious damage in a
period of storm when it is practical
ly impossible to plug them. Pro-
crastination is easy, to be sure, but
it is likely to cost a lot more than
a timely caulking Or paint job, by
damage to the interior of the house.
Hastings, especially, need atten-
ton. All cracks, crevices OF other
small openings in the roof which
could admit water should be r
fully filled with an appropriate
caulking compound.
