Allied Strength
Compared With
That of Enemies
Washington.—Senator Theodore
F. Green of Rhode Island presents
the following figures as to the
strength of Allied and Axis armed
forces, based on testimony before
a special appropriations subcom
mittee, investigating manpower.
Axis strength in European-
African theaters, 483 divisions.
Japanese strength (plus 200,-
000 air troops) 86 divisions.
United Nations, excluding Unit
ed States, 146 divisions.
United States, estimated end of
1943, 100 divisions.
United States overseas force end
of 1943, 2,700,000.
United States overseas force end
of 1944, 4,750,000.
Total United States forces 1943-
44, 11,100,000 (Army 8,200,000).
The exact numerical strength of
an American division never has
been made public. In World War
1 a division normally was 15,000
men. Some estimates place the size
of modern divisions as high as 23,-
000 men.

—AGGIE NINE—
(Continued from Page 3)
Field, and Waco Army Air Field
in a home to home basis.
Main worries of Coach Norton in
the Aggie nine is to fill the shoes
of all-conference first sacker Sam
Porter, lost by graduation, and to
find a good outfielder to play the
right-field spot left vacant by Jim
my Newberry who is playing now
in the infield. Prospects upon which
Norton is placing great hopes to
find a good first sacker are: J.
Ramage, “Dutch” Albert, Hank
Foldberg. Les Peden, all-confer
ence third sacker is another player
upon whom Norton is placing great
hopes in developing a fine first
sacker. He is also being considered
as a fine prospective chunker to
give needed help to the mound
staff. So far nothing is definite
because if Peden is converted from
a third sacker to a first sacker,
then the situation in the infield
will remain the same as then the
“hot corner” will be left vacant.
Next to the first base situation,
Norton faces the problem of find
ing a fast and good outfielder to
defend the right-field spot. Run
ning for that spot are several pros
pects headed by veteran Earl Seay,
Tessman, Weldon Maples, Nichols
and Wright.
“Something more definite will
be known by next week in regard
to the conference schedule and the
non-conference games,” stated
Coach Norton.

free style by a full two feet. Dem-
mer’s record was a flat 54 seconds
which tops the conference record
by two-tenths of a second.
This is the second time this year
that the Aggies have defeated the
Longhorns. The first meet was
held in Austin where the Aggie
tankers ran off with everything
but the T. U. swimmers swimming
suits. The score was 57-38.
Since each team was limited to
two. men in each event, the dual
meet brought many thrills for the
several hundred fans. Cree, ace
diver of the Aggies, created noth
ing short of sensational for the
Aggies along with Potter, the oth
er cadet diver. Quaintance, the
Texas diver and former high school
diving champ of Arkansas, was the
winner of the event but only after
stiff competition from the Aggie
divers.

Our boys can take the War to the enemy, if we back them
up with ships and tanks and guns! But that takes money!
Help your Government to put the tools of war into the
hands of our soldiers by purchasing War Savings Bonds and
Stamps. And remember . . . just one Bond can’t lick the
Axis any more than just one gun! It takes millions of
Americans buying War Savings Bonds and Stamps every
payday! *
Bonds cost $18.75 and up ... am’ v pay you back
one-third more in only 10 years! Stan jst 100, 250, and
up . . . soon total the price of a Bond if oought regularly.
Help our boys on the fighting fronts wherever they may
be! Buy War Savings Bonds as an investment for yourself
and your country.

lives simply and unpretentiously.
When he first came to this coun
try he tried out a succession of
chic hotels, and left each one be
cause of the noise. Finally, near
Carnegie Hall, he found a small,
old-fashioned hotel which had quiet
rooms looking out on a court.
There he returned season after
season until he brought his daugh
ter Maria and pianist-sister Am-
paro to this country.
Now they all live together, en
famille, in a typical New York
apartment on Riverside Drive, over

many friends in the music and

regularly during both the winter
and summer seasons. The climate
and informal life please him tem
peramentally and he is happiest
dressed in the linen beach shirt,
slacks and play shoes which are
the characteristic comfortable
clothes of Beverly Hills.
Today Iturbi speaks a fluent and
idiomatic if not always grammati
cal English. When he came to this
country in the fall of 1929 he did
not know a single word. Left with
his manager in a hotel on his ar
rival, he rang for the waiter, or
dered tea. The waiter couldn’t un
derstand him. Iturbi shrugged his
shoulders, sat down at the piano,
played “Tea for Two,” got what
he wanted!

Diseases Up
First Months
Of This Year
Polyomyelitus Shows
Decrease Recently;
Typhus Fever Rises
Reporting on health conditions
over the state of Texas, Dr. Geo.
W. Cox, state health officer said
today that epidemic dysentery,
meningitis, and typhus fever have
shown a sharp increase for the
first two months of 1943.
Reported cases of epidemic
dysentery and diarrhea total elev
en times the numer shown for the
corresponding period in a seven-
year average. Outbreaks of dys
entery in several communities
scattered over the state point to
local failure to solve certain san
itation problems which could en
danger the downward trend of
typhoid fever. Typhus fever has
been reported as being three times
the seven-year median and the
state health officer emphasized
the fact that rigid rodent control
measures will require the whole
hearted cooperation of every in
dividual in the state, since this
control is absolutely necessary to
bring the trend of typhus down
to a satisfactory level.
Considerable increase has been
reported in the incidence in pneu
monia, whooping cough, and ma
laria, while poliomyelitis has been
slightly more prevalent since last
fall, but has shown a very satis
factory decrease in recent weeks.
Diptheria has failed to show any
significant decrease for the state
as a whole although it has been
controlled satisfactorily in certain
comunities.
Dr. Cox asked the cooperation of
all parents in immunizing child
ren against diphtheria, whooping
cough, typhoid fever, and small
pox. These diseases are prevent
able by the use of safe and ef
fective immunization methods.
While the first two diseases men
tioned are more especially x'ecog-
nized as childhood diseases, ty
phoid fever and smallpox can take
a heavy toll among adults as well
and every individual should be
made immune to their debilitat
ing effects.

up to 10 years, the more
valuable they become.
During the past two years thou
sands of college men and women
from all parts of the country have
made a contribution to the Red
Cross of which they may well be
proud. This contribution consisted
of a voluntary donation of blood.
Collected at the request of the
Army and Navy, these donations
are processed into plasma and ser
um albumin and used on the world’s
battlefields to help give our wound
ed a much better chance at life.
The Red Cross Blood Donor Serv-
vice has opened the eyes of many
to the real significance of the Red
Cross. Through it thousands who
are unable, for a variety of rea
sons, to join the frae are sending
their blood to the very battle lines
where it is doing yeoman service.
There is no question but that
plasma is working near miracles
on the fighting fronts. Great num
bers of men who in the last war
would have died of their wounds
are b^ing saved because someone
back home took the time and trou
ble, and that’s all it takes, to visit
one of the 31 Red Cross blood donor
centers. Army and Navy medical
authorities from the Surgeons Gen
eral down are unstinted in their
praise.
“It is astounding but perfectly
true that the Navy is losing less
than one percent of the wounded
at Guadalcanal,” Rear Admiral
Ross T. Mclntire, Surgeon Gen
eral of the Navy, recently report
ed. “In th'e first world war more
than seven percent of the wounded
died of their wounds. These figures
exclude men killed in action.”
The wounded, he said, are flown
to a hospital on an island several
hundred miles away. Before being
moved, often on the battlefield,
they receive first aid and frequent
ly blood plasma transfusions to
sfop hemorrhage and reduce shock.
Surgeon General James C. Ma
gee of the Army, after a recent
inspection trip to North Africa,
cited as an example pf the effec
tiveness of plasma transfusions a
case in which 400 men were badly
burned on a ship during one of the
landings on that continent. “They
treated those men with primitive
field equipment,” General Magee
said, “but between midnight and
8 o’clock next morning everyone
had been properly cared for and
only six of them died. Blood plasma
gets the credit to a very large de
gree.”
Plasma is that part of blood
from which the red and white cells
have been removed. By a process
of evaporation it is reduced to a
powdered form and needs only to
be mixed with distilled water to
be ready for use. Packed in hermet
ically sealed tins along with a bot
tle of distilled water and the nec
essary tubing and needles for mix
ing and administering, it is im
pervious to jungle heat. There is
no question of delays for blood
typing, as plasma is universal, and
it requires but moments to mix
and administer.
So effective has the use of plas
ma proved that the Red Cross has
been requested to furnish 4,000,000
donations in 1943. Like the 1,000,-
000 donations collected last year,
they will be used with telling ef
fect along our battle lines, on our
ships at sea and in our military
hospitals.
This Red Cross service, along
with the many others the organiza
tion performs, leads to but one con
clusion: The Red Cross is your
Red Cross.
It is doing your work. It is help
ing your people. It acts for you in
all those things which you would
do if granted the opportunity.
During March your Red Cross is
raising its 1943 War Fund of
$125,000,000. Support it to the ut
most of your ability.
