■I AM AN-
American Day
• Presidents of the past
Interpret meaning of na-
tional ideals for citizens
of the present.
DEING an American means many
things to many people. But to
every citizen it represents a distinc-
tion obtainable nowhere else ir the
world. This is true today as ever
before in history. On May 16 when
the nation observes "I Am an Amer-
ican Day,” that fact will be force-
fully brought home.
In past generations eminent Amer-
icans have interpreted the meaning
of citizenship and national ideals in
words that sound strangely familiar
today. This fact is glowing proof
that the present generation is true
to the principles of its forebears.
Bloodiest Year of War
Takes Two Million Toll
NEW YORK. — About 2,000,000
fighting men died last year, the
bloodiest year in the history of the
world, according to statisticians of
the Metropolitan Life Insurance
company.
Germany’s losses were at least
1 twice as great as in 1917. Between
500.000 and 750,000 Germans fell,
most of them on the Russian front.
Russian dead for 1942 are estimated
at between 750,000 and 900,000.
Our known dead last year num-
bered 6,100 but a sizable proportion
of the 40,000 missing must be as-
sumed dead. The Japanese, it is
estimrted, lost from 140,000 to 200,-
000 men. Other estimates of losses
include 50,000' Rumanians, 30,000 to
40.000 Italians, and not more than
30.000 British.

Answering a query. •'What is our
country?” President Benjamin Har-
rison said: "Our country is the flag
and what it stands for. It is its
glorious history. Our eountry is the
fireside and the home, the high
thoughts that are in the heart that
comes of the story of the fathers,
the martyrs of liberty. la these
things is that quality we lore and
call our country—rather than any-
thing that can ho touched or han-

Fliers Named Them
‘Slum Clearance Bombs*
MELBOURNE. — British fliers
call them “block busters." But
Australian airmen have another
name for the big bombs that have
wrought so much havoc.
They call them "slum-clearance
bombs" because observers have
found that one of these big fellows
will destroy several blocks of old
type buildings.
