In the course of the war the country has suffered a great number of casualties. The German Army lost 12,000 men in the Battle of the Balkans and 600 in the Battle of Stalingrad. The French Army lost 34,000 men in the Battle of the Aisne and 15,000 in the Battle of Ypres. The British Army lost 18,000 men in the Battle of Somaliland and 9,000 in the Battle of Juba. The Russians lost 17,000 men in the Battle of Kursk and 10,000 in the Battle of Terek. The Americans lost 20,000 men in the Battle of Okinawa and 10,000 in the Battle of Guadalcanal.
With the Allied victory, the American war effort was strengthened and the United States joined the European Powers in the fight against the Axis powers. The war was a significant event in World War II, and it had a profound impact on the world. It marked a new era of peace and stability in Europe, and it set off a new phase of conflict in the Middle East.

Jayhawk Runners in First Outdoor Meet With Aggies
Teams Strong in Differen Individual Events; Poor Expected to Take High Jump
The Kansas trekk队称, Sell will first outdoors, before participating with the Kansas Aggies. There is much speculation over the result by followers of both teams, as this will have to be confirmed, which will have competed in all the events out of doors.
It is safe to say that the meet will be a close one, with probably a margin of only a few points deciding it. The two schools are strong in different events, which aids the deputy manager to give the final results by any means.
Erwin and Fisher Out
Kansas has the hash in the quarter-mile dash for first place, but second is anyone's. The sprints are evenly divided between the two teams now that it is rumored that "Red" Erwin will not run for the Aggies on account of an injury.
Fisher will not run for Kauai and will not be seen in action until later in the season. He suffered an injury on Tuesday and he will keep him off the track for a white.
Graham's *Chance* Good
Knapp will have the free choice
for draw, knap and broad
bump. Graham is going good in
the broad jump and has jumped farther this year than ever before. Tom Poor, having won, will place
him on the high jump.
Some Matches More Striking Than Others
The Akgies have the edge in the discus, but the other weights will probably be evenly divided between the two. They also have the dopeers pick for places in the distance and move to the others' chosen chance, with both schools probably getting points for first or second places.

There are many kinds of match. Some are more striking than the other especially the kind made by inter and bearing relatives. The first luker was made by an English man in 1827. Today there are man match factories, but it's a "light business."
About 1825 a Frenchman made a match out of sugar, gum, and potassium chlorate stuck on a piece of glass. He then poured it over oil of vitriol a flame was produced. The Englishman improved or this by making his lucifer out of white phosphorus and sulphur, who lightened when he rubbed it on his
People wanted something that was quicker and less smelly, so the sulphur was left out and other things put in. Then the matchmakers objected to the use of sulphur; gave them "phony jaw." So they left this out and put in a sulphide of phosphor. This is the kind of match we use now. Matches are usually saked in paraffin to make them burn better than gum of an airstop them from giving after being blown out.
Polarer matches strike anywhere.
Safety matches are different. They are grits and tories—cool enough when alone but get "bet up" when brought together. The grits are on the match and consist of sulphide of antimony, powdered glass, glue and potassium chlorate which contain oxygen. The glue and consist of red phosphorus, which doesn't burn as easily as white phosphorus, together with other things. When brought together with a little pressure the heat developed sets the match off.
To Hold Life-Saving Tests
Examinations to Be Worked Out by Students
The life-saving examination which was to be given to University students this spring by a representative of the American Red Cross Life-Saving Corp will not be staged, as the department of physical health has been unable to get the national authorization to send an examiner here.
However, a set of tests, similar to the Red Cross tests, will be worked by students here who are members of the organization. We hold for anyone wishing to try his proficiency in saving a person from drowning.
Texas Runner Wins Race in Spite of Broken Leg
The Physical Education Club will meet at 8 o'clock tonight. Miss Margaret Barto.
Despite the fact that McNatt, captain of the track team of the University of Texas, had the small bone of his left leg broken, he ran in the medley relay race in the Rehays and won his race.
MeNatt had been troubled with his leg since competing in a duel meet with Mississippi but was not aware that the bone was broken. Suffered a fracture and would not defend the honors they had won last year when they set a new world record. An attending physician at the Austin hospital where he in being treated, remarked, "It took me a while to almost get to run that race."
Two Baseball Games Played This Week-End to Decide Prospects
Coach Clark Makes Tentative Changes in Batting Order and Line-Up
If the Kansas baseball team is to be in the championship running this season it will depend largely upon the outcome of the two games to be played this week end with Missouri", said Coach George "Potsy" Clark, while discussing the prospects for the team this year.
Coach Cluck has made several tentative changes in the line-up and batting order. As now planned, Conby will be moved to third base from base if necessary, and as many warty pitchers, will play in right field when not on the mound.
The team has been going through an intensive batting drill this week. Coach John Burns's freshman pitchers were used on the mound against
Although Missouri has played eight games to Kansas' three, Coach Clark thinks that the Jayhawks have a good chance of coming out successful in the trip to Columbia. The team's last season last week improved the Kansas team greatly by giving the men experience and confidence.
