the Rumanians. the Greeks, the Serbs,

blessings, to preserve which. so far
as We were concerned, we took up
arms against Germany. But, aside
from the moral aspect, which should
be controlling and rarely is in inter
national relations there is the ma
teria1 consideration. Unless We do
liberate and fortify these races we
shall have to fight the German again.

these people against us and to use
their labor and their lands to sup
port his war upon US.

CHANGE IN CONTROL
OF SENATE UNLIKELY
Will Take Republican Landslide to Deprive
Democrats of Majority-Survey
of Situation.

1919, when the new Congress- the
SiXty-SiXth, comes into being. There
is not sufficient number of short
term senators to be elected to change
the rc'iri"n' control of the body pc
fore March 4.
The real contest. then. is for the
control OF the Senate in the next Con-
gress. In this contest there are thir-
ty-SiN senatorial seats involved. Of
these twenty-five are held by demo-
Gratis and fourteen by republicans. Re-
publicans are practically sure of elect
ing their candidates to twelve of
these seats. and the democrats to
twelve others. The debatable ground
therefore, is to be found in the third
group of twelve contests.
Thirty democratic senators will hold
their seats over March 4 and into the
next Congress, and thirty republicans
will do the same.
The twelve seats counted for the re-
publicans are as follows: Senator Be-
rah Idaho; Medill Mccormick, Illinois;
Senator Kenyon, Iowa: Gov. Capper.
Kansas: Senator Weeks, Massachu
setts; Senator Nelson. Minnesota;
Henry w. Keyes and George II. Moses
New Hampshire: Senator Fall New
Mexico: Gov. Edge. New Jersey; SEN
ator McNary, Oregon. and Senator
Warren. Wyoming.
To the democrats the following
twelve seats are CONCEDED: Senator
Robinson, Arkansas; Senator Bank
head. Alabama; w. ]. Harris. Georgia !;
Senator Ransden and Edward ]. Gay,
Louisiana; B. P. Harrison Mississippi;
Senator Simmons, North Carolina ;

Express Fear of Defeat.

Some indication of the likelihood of
republican control is seen in the fact
that the majority of the doubtful dis
tricts, in which the party issues are
being fought out most intensely, are
usually democratic and that several
of the leading democrats of longtime
standing in the House are admittedly
fearful that they will be defeated.
Representative Swagar Sherley of
Kentucky. chairman of the appropria-
lions committee. which has reported
10 the House wartime recommended
tons for moro than twenty-five billions
Of dollars, and who has been uninter-
ruptedly member of the last eight
congresses. is having the hardest ii ght
of his political career He is opposed
by Charles F. Ogden of Louisville.
In spite OF the close contest threaten
