Less Thon Lost Woi
Heavy as the military losses In
the present war have been, they
have been much less than those
incurred In the corresponding pe-riod
of the last war, according to
the statisticians of the Metropoli-tan
Life Insurance Company. From
the beginning of the present war
to the end of April 1941, deaths
in the armed forces of all the
belligerent nations probably reach-ed
at least 1,500,000 to 1,750,000
and may exceed 2,000,000.
In the World War, the statisti-cians
estimate that 5,000,000 men
had been killed in the correspond-ing
period between July 1914 and
the end of 1916. The estimate of
losses in the present war are based
on the compilation and analysis of
data from sources believed most
reliable.

$164,504 Insuronce
ALBANY, N. Y., Feb. 25.—Un-employment
Insurance benefits of
$6,645,643 in the form of 526,652
individual checks were dlstriubted
to unemployed men and women in
New York State during January, it
was announced today by Indus-trial
Commissioner Frieda 8. Mil-ler.
This figure represents an in-crease
of 'fifty-four percent over
December, 1941, but is twenty-one
percent less than a year ago.
January payments for the three
Nassau County employment offices
amounted to $164,504.14 for the
1041-1942 beneAT year, in the form
of 13.40G separate checks.
Each .of. the sixty ofTices outside
of New York __Clty reported i
creased behent payments- in- Janu-with
December. In
fact, the'lncfease was seventy-nine
percent compared with forty-eight
percent in New York City. These
substantial increases were due to
curtailment of automobile produc-tion,
continued slackness in ap-parel
trades, construction, and re-duced
operations of plants utiliz-ing
wool, rubber, or metals for
non-defense goods. More than
forty percent of January's bene-nciaries
drew the top rate of $15
per week, reflecting a substantial
proportion of unemployment'
among the higher-wage groups. .
