 Including all action, Russia lost most heavily in the first World War, according to U. s. War De- partment figures. She counted g. l5O,000 casualties. France came next with 6,l60,80O.

cording to conservative estimates. Unofficial guess of a high military leader is that the Japs have suf- fcred approximately l,500,000 ca sualties from U. s. action alone.
 Per square mile of land, Two lima is likely to prove the blood- fest battlefield of the war. It is estimated that the tiny island with two airfields will cost 10000 casual ties. The Normandy invasion IS a single operation cost most dearly. Total Allied casualties were 1l5,665 in the fighting from June to July 20, before the breakthrough. U. S. claimed 69,526 of the losses, the British 39,594 and the Canadians 6545.
 The whole North African cam paign, including operations in Sicily and the first landing on Italy, as well as air bombings in the Medi- terranean theater, claimed l73,572 through June of 1914 Action in the Philippines before the present recapture cost more than 3l,O00

three months at about 8,2O0, 900 and the Navy at about 1000, 900, the services are now on a replacement basis. In other words, generally speaking our casualties will have to be replenlshed by new men to maintain the present size of the armed forces.
 REPLACEMENTS NEEDED
 selective Service estimates that about 100000 men reach draft age each month. Of this number only about 75,0OO are found to be fit for combat duty. With casualties more than 85,000 a month, accord ing to the current rate, 1t is obvi- ous that Selective Service must tighten up on deferments and dig into the reservoir of men in uni- form.
 Mitigating this obvious numerical shortage, however, is the large pro- portion of wounded counted as ca- sualtles, who are able to return to active duty.
 How many men peace in Europe will release is anybody's guess. Gen. Stilwell estimates Japan has an army of 5,O00,00O men on the main- land of China. If this is true, it could mean just as tough a fight as is now going on in Europe, and even tougher in terms of casual ties.
 Although so far World War IT hasn't taken the toll of World War I, according to figures released, it is known that for security reasons the real story won't be told until years after the fighting. Officials agree that the Allied total of more than 22,OO0, 900 casualties of World War 1 could be doubled before the world lays down its arms in the present struggle.

and other military operations and that 90,000 civilians had been shot during German occupation.
 What enemy casualties have been, naturally, can only be guessed Russian estimates of Nazi losses on the Red front alone place them at more than 9,000,O00. Believed to be more reliable is a report from in- side Germany that says 3,000,000 have been killed in action, 500,000 hopelesSly maimcd and 2000, coo wounded. Another 100000 are prisoners of war. Even that total of 6,500,000 casualties would put the Nazis in a desperate manpower sit uation.

 TWO LIMA IS COSTLY
 Bloody Tarawa resulted in less than 4000 Marines being killed or wounded, since then compared to the terrific price for Two lima, Sai- pan was bought with l5,053 casual ties. Enemy losses were placed at more than 10000.
 The War Department hasn't broken down the figure completely, but 1t has hinted that the losses suffered during the Ardennes break through will total about 75,00o ca SualtieS.
 Total World War I battle casual ties were 364.800, including 125, 800 deaths. The Muese- -Argonne bat tie of 1918, which lasted 47 days, caused l20,O00 casualties.

Their bad manners get
on the nerves of other
persons at theaters

ss"HIs hurts me more than
it does you"
That threadbare remark of a
parent about to mete out punish
ment quite plainly describes my
own mOmentary situation. But
someone should really say some
thing about the children who go
alone to moving picture theaters
and annoy the audience by their
ill-mannered behavior. My read
ers have long been suggesting that
the someone" be me!
1t should be noted at the out
set that scarcely one per cent of
these letters protesting against
Juvenile movie pests" have in
cluded comments on teen-age
bobby-sock girls afflicted with
dementia-S -Sinatra.
General protests are centered
on noisy boys-and sometimes
9irls-who stomp and catcall
at Western pictures; who boo
and laugh at sentimental scenes:
who chew gum audibly or crackle
paper bags through quiet dia
logues; and who - worst fault of
all - put their feet up on the rear
edge of the seat in front.
Small Towns Protest
l HE greatest number of protest
ing letters have come from small
towns. In large cities many neigh
borhood picture houses set aside
certain number of seats for chill
dren. There is matron in charge,
recognizable by her white uni
form, who sees that the children
behave properly.
In the smaller towns, however,
not only is there no matron but
also really young children 60 to
the picture theaters alone.
In some instances, children have
