DEATHS SINCE ‘ WAR'S END HIGHER | ?g; THAN BATILE YEARS I Mn than four times the num- bber iz men killed or who died | yemrlyt during the war years of '«'urm War II have died yearly he war ended, it is revealcd itetor Gin Juneau. Totag deaths are figured at f‘w‘,oa with war dates running | |/} v4u eeptember 16, 1940 to July 147, While figuring on this | rithough this nation was not | I% 5 b war at that time, deaths | ‘1 430 yearly. During actual r coags more than 100,000 a year Cul u »ared with this, since then +hd up to September 30, this year, 974,000 veterans have died, either from service-connected wounds or other ailments, which is some 437,000 a year, Not even advancing age has cut down veterans of World War I so rapidly, the figures show. Since the armistice 34,300 veterans of that war have died each year, compared to 87,500 killed on a yearly bssLs during the 18 months the war | lasted. \ The war which many have con- sidered the bloodiest of any in American history—the Civil War— is down to third rank, as only 364,000 were killed during hostili- ties, at the rate of 72,800 a year. This includes apparently only| Union forces. Pigures show that only 4,000 men were killed during the Revolution, and 2,000 during the war of 1812, although records are probably not complete, and many deaths occur- red during the latter fight which involved privateers not actually in the armed forces. HOTEL MANAGER BADLY WOUNDED; EMPLOYEES PARTY POCATELLO Ifilho Dec. 31—#| —William W. Shields, Manager of | the Bannock Hotel, was seriously wounded when he was shot dyr- ing an employees’ party at the ho- tel. A charge of assault with a deadly weapon was filed against Henry M. Cook by Detective Guy Nelson. Shields suffered a groin wound. Employees at the party 'said the shooting occurred after Shields took into another room a man who had created a dsturbance at the party. The employees related that they heard a single shot and Shields staggered back into the tanquet hall. Police later arrested Cook in a tavern, Shields was transferred to Poca- tello from the Mayflower Hotel in Seattle, when Western Hotels, Inc., acquired the Bannock Hotel in 1946, I B | Ataskagrams?
