AVERAGE 10000 EACH WEEK
American Casualties Approach Million Mark
BY DOUGLAS LARSEN
NEA Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON - American
casualties will pass the million
mark before May !, if the pres
ent tempo of fighting continues
on all fronts. And within year
the number will pass the two
million mark estimated by re-
tired Admiral Harry Z. Yarnell,
former Asiatic Fleet command
er, as our casualty total before
the Germans and Japs are whip
ped.
For the past several months
casualties reported by Army and
Navy have averaged more than
10000 a week. To date there
have been more than 800 900
reported, including approximate
" l73. 900 killed. 461 900 wound
ed, $4,000 prisoners of war and
100000 missing in action. These
figures do not include either the
bloody totals from Two Jima or
the stepped up drive against
Germany. 1t takes more than a
month before all the figures
from an engagement are includ-
ed in the totals released period
ically by the War and Navy De-
partments.
Military leaders have been
warning that the u. S. would
have to steel itself to shocking
casualty figures as Allied forces
hack closer 10 the heart of the
two Axis nations. Many military
authorities say the worst is yet
to come!
ALLIES LOSE 10,500,000
Total Allied casualties so far,
according TO the latest available
reports, are close to ten and one
half million, not including civil
ian losses. According to Prime
Minister Churchill, British En-
pire forces passed the one mil
lion mark in December, exclus-
i've of $50 900 civilians killed and
wounded. Britain, of course was
~in the war more than two years
before the u. s.
Chinese Army casualties for
the seven years, July, 1887, to
June 80, 1914, numbered 1902
220, according to an official re-
port.
Russia last reported 100000
casualties during the first three
years of the Russo German con-
flict.
French losses include $4,000
Killed, 100000 wounded and the
staggering total Of $4,000 pris-
oners Of war, most of whom are
now working in German fac
tories. French authorities report
cd at the end of 1914 that 3d.
600 civilians had been killed as
a result of bombing and other
military operations and that co.
600 civilians had been shot dur
ing German occupation.
What enemy casualties have
been, naturally, can only be
guessed. Russian estimates of
Nazi losses on the Red front

70 the Editor:

To the Editor:
This, to many thoughtless peo-
pie, is the "Grass Burning Sea-
son." a useless and destructive
undertaking. Many people are
born with grass burning in their
blood. Spring to them would
never be spring unless they set
something on fire.
Government records show
that grass burning not only de-
pletes the soil of its fertility,
destroying also the young trees
and useful growth, but II also Is
most destructive to the shelter
of birds. Pheasants, quail and
many other birds find 1t diff
cult to find shelter and man
with his insane desire to destroy
comes along at this season and
burns their homes and abiding
places. DON'T BURN THE
GRASS. 1t will come up much
more tender and the lives OF
birds will be protected and the
soil conserved. 1t is a useless,
wasteful practise and should be
prohibited by law.

Central Powers. Total casualties
on both sides were 37,508,686.
Death from disease in the
American forces has been reduc-
ed from 1913 per 1000 in World
War ! to 05 per 1000 in this
war.
Casualties are the key to the
future draft problems of the
country. With the Army pegged
for the next three months at
about 100000 and the Navy at
about 100000, the services are
now on replacement basis. In
other words, generally speaking,
our casualties will have to be re-
plenished by new men to main
tain the present size of the arm
ed forces.
Selective Service estimates
that about 100000 men reach
draft age each month. Of this
number only about $4,000 are
found to be fit for combat duty.

Entomologists thought they had

Even so. the use of DOT with

valuable boon to the apple indus

threatened with the apple worm.
Here Is the insect drama as en-
acted in a Hood River apple or
chard recently:
The trees in the orchard. hav-
ing been treated with DOT, were
almost entirely freed OF the pesty
coddllng moth and 90 per cent OF
the apples produced were clean.
And then II was discovered that
champion DOT also had killed

Aphilenus mali Is a parasite
that attacks woody aphis and was
brought into the orchard for that
purpose by the experiment sta

aphis had become an extremely
serious pest. Since then the para
site has kept the aphis at safe
minimum. but on the trees spray
ed with DOT last summer, which
were freed thereby OF the coddling

numbers.
Experts say that weaker solu-
ton may be the answer to this
problem. 1t has been demonstrate
ed that a solution one-tenth as
strong as that used at Hood River
will handle the coddling moth.

The impression made by George
Sell, pianist, when he appeared
with the Budapest String Quartet
last spring in the Library of Con-
gress prepared the patrons of the
Gertrude Clarke Whittall Founda-
tion concerts for another outstand-
ing performance when it was an
nounced he would assist the group
again last night. There was an eX-
pectancy in the audience that gave
rather a gala atmosphere and an
added warmth to the cordial well
come extended the artist on their
appearance.
1t cannot be an easy task to play
with such a superlatively united
quartet group as the Budapest but
Mr.. Sell has both the temperament
and the musicianship to match
these skilled players. Furthermore.
he has the same idea of chamber
music performance as the string
instrumentalists so that the fusion
was an ideal one Mr.. Sell at the
piano neither leads nor follows but
is one with the others making the
piano a perfect companion for the
strings in tonal quality.

and piano and the performance was
as superlatively Mozartian as pos
sible. The delicacy and smooth
ness of the playing of the Budapest
members, Josef Roismann, Boris
Kroyt and Mischa Schneider, found
a counterpart in Mr.. Sell. The
fluency of interchange between the
instruments and especially the
graceful bouyancy of Mr.. Sells
playing with its ripping runs and
elastic nuances provided a rare
treat.
The same splendid ensemble was
to be found in the Brahms "Quin-
tet in F Minor. OPP. 34," in which
the second violinist, Edgar Orten-
berg, joined the other quartet mem
bers. This glowing work was rich
in expressive shadings and in a
comprehension of the spirit of the
powerful first and final movements,
the hushed loveliness of the second
and the tender gayety of the third.
1t was a deeply penetrated per-
formance on the part of all of the
artists and communicative by rea-
son of the sincerity and unity of
aim, the richness of sentiment and
the subservience of individual ar
tistry to the complete unfolding of
the musical meaning. Closing the
program thus, the artists were over

No Easy Jobs With Lots Of Money In Alaska

WASHINGTON, Sep. 28-(P)- Alaska will welcome new settlers, but hopes they come prepared to pioneer a place for themselves, so says Miriam Dickey, executive secretary to Capt. A. E. Lathrop. She is here to consult with gov ernment agencies.
 Alaska is a land of wonderful opportunities, but they cannot be won on a shoestring. People look ing for easy jobs and lots of money shouldn't come up north. It's still pioneering country. If any want to have a part in its development and are willing to work hard, Alaska needs them," Miss Dickey said.
 She said Alaska is in immediate need of development for tourist industries and believes expansion of air facilities to the Territory will contribute this, because of reduced travel time. However she thinks many more vacationistS will visit Alaska by boat. The gen. eral public has just begun to ap- prceiate the scenic and historic Ua1l1oc nf tba country
