The Soviet communique said

This raised to nearly 100000 the
number of captives taken in the
long siege of Budapest, and in ad-
dition perhaps $4,000 Germans and
Hungarians were slain in the per

BRIGADE GROUP
NAMES LEADER

> Highlighting the 49th anniversar.
banquet OF the Old Boys Brigade
Wednesday night, during which tnt
first captain of the organization
Ed Dudley, was elected president
was talk by Col. Charles e
Loughlin, of Rocky Mount, VINO
said that the U. S. must prepare
for peace or World War III.
Loughlin, native of Wilmington
who recently retired from active
service, was introduced by VII
nington Postmaster Wilbur R.
Dosher, who was elected vice-pres-
ident of the Brigade. Loughlin
said that the Dumbarton Oaks
peace plan is about go per cent
complete, and that the U. S. must
participate in whatever world
peace plan is finally put to use.
Every citizen should show his in
terest in world peace, Lougnlin
added. Because of Americas lack
of participation in the League OF
Nations after the last World War,
the plan for world peace became
ineffective, the speaker said.
Because of the Red Army's con-
tribution to the eventual defeat OF
Germany, Russia can not be con-
sidered selfish in its demands,
Loughlin said, and quoted Winston
Churchill in saying that 1.-The Red
Army had torn the CUTS out OF the
Nazi war machine"
Talking on the history OF the old
Boys Brigade, Loughlin said that
during the late COS and early
1905 the Brigade and the YMCA
were about the only Wilmington
organizations for boys, aside from
the churches. Noting the moral ef-
feet of these groups upon the
youth of the City, Loughlin said
that s5 per cent of the old Brigade
boys now were in positions of high
trust in the business and political
life of the community.

the Brigade, presided over the r u

The heaviest casualties n G
equipment losses in any one cam
paign in the history of war have
been inflicted in a little more than
a month by the great Soviet winter
offensive, compilation Of claims
of Russian and German High Com
mands disclosed Thursday.
Since the offensive was launched
January IL, Russian estimates
placed German losses in men al
more than 100000 Killed in action
and more than 10000 taken pri-
soner. That figure does not in
clude the 1877, 900 taken prisoner and
the $4,000 killed in the siege OF
Budapest.
German communicates h a v
made no specific statement OF Rus
sian losses in men, but claimed
they were gigantic and ''tremen-
dous." But the Nazi command
claimed the destruction of $500
Russian tanks, more than 1000
heavy guns and more than 5000
vehicles from January II to Feb
ruary Ia.
