[* Transcriber’s Note: These numbers are very hard to read and are my best guess, no matter how hard I attempted I could not make them add up. It is highly suggested to verify these numbers by other sources. In that regard, the spirit of the article is clear, if not its exact content. Or, on the other hand, the numbers may not have added up in the original article in the first place.]
