The Republicans would have
to increase their membership in
the House by round so to hold
a majority Of one in the next
Congress. There are half a dozen
minor party members of the
House in the present Congress.
Taking so seats away from the
Democrats and the minor par
ties Is a big and tough job. as
the situation appears today. The
Democrats are claiming that
instead of losing ground in the
House, they will actually gain.
They are not, however, without

tween now and the beginning Of
october weather conditions will
be favorable for the use of pan
zers and large air forces.
Out of 40 Nazi divisions which
are holding Western Europe at
least 35 are composed of older
men. These cannot be utilized
in such hard fighting as will be
necessary in Russia. Thus, while
an American-British attempt to
land forces somewhere in Europe
is regarded as a possibility by the
Nazi high command, the Ger
mans prefer to take the chance
of holding Western Europe with
second class forces and to throw
their best fighting men into the
great battle for annihilation of
the Soviet armies.
There is a certain amount of
uneasiness in well-informed
Washington quarters over the de-
velopments of the next few
months. From past observation
there seems to be no doubt that
the Russians will resist as ten
aciously as they have done in the
last IL months. But the question
whether needed supplies can
reach them in sufficient guam
titles, and in time, is a matter
which is giving American strate-
gists some concern.

the results then as an indication
what the rest of the country will

for the country, however. Maine
has been wrong as often as right.
The fact is, however, that the
people Of Maine are restless and
sore about a number of things.
The political leaders are not sure
just what will be the political re-
action.
Bulow Only Defeat So Far.
Candidates for "a seats in the
Senate will fight 1t out at the
polls this year. Senator White is
the sixth of the present Senators
who has been renominated up to
date. Only one, Democratic SEN
ator Bulow of South Dakota, has
been defeated. Mr.. Bulow ran
counter to the Presidents for
eign policy, was an isolatiOnist,
and the Democratic organization
went out to get his scalp. 1t did.
The other Senators who have
been renominated are Brooks of
Illinois, Bankhead of Alabama.
McNary Of Oregon, Bailey of
North Carolina and Herring of
Iowa.
The Republicans increased their
membership in the House by one
yesterday when Thomas B. Mil
Ter, elected to fill a vacancy

Democrat, took the oath OF office.
This brings the Republican total
to 166 In the House. When the
present Congress was elected in
1910, the number of Republicans
was 162. In New York, Colorado,
Connecticut and Pennsylvania,
the Republicans have elected
Representatives to fill vacancies
in hitherto Democratic districts.
Whether this means anything
nationally remains to be seen. 1t
is noticeable, however. that the
Republicans have lost no con-
gressional districts to the Demo-

The African front, however, is
considered a secondary show by

observers believe, will be concen-

directed toward the annihilation

concerned.

To which the head Of Serbia's
orthodox church replied: MY own
fate is a small matter compared
with the fate Of Yugoslavia. In no
circumstance will the church sup
port the betrayal Of national honor
now and endanger the future of the
state"
Then came the fateful day OF
March 27, last year, when young
King Peter. taking the law into
his own hands, assembled the throne.
From his palace balcony the stall
wart patriarch made his now-famous
promise Of church support. The
pro-Nazi government was swept
from power. The nation rose exult-
antly to uphold and defend its royal
ruler.
To the crowd which cheered
wildly for the King, the Patriarch
declared:
"At dawn this morning the Yugo-
slav nation chose the road Of truth
and justice, Of national unity and
freedom. The eternal ideals which
every Serb has always carried and
cherished in his heart rose this
morning clean and shining like the
sun in the heavens. They rose
clean from all dust and stains.
Nazis Swept In.
'The bearer of these, our national
ideals, the son of our noble Tsar
Alexander and the successor OF the
glorious Karageorgevitch who first
In our history waved the banner of
freedom in the darkness, became
King Peter II this morning. The
Almighty has preserved us today
from decline. He heard our prayer
and directed us back to the road
Of truth. Let us bend our knee be-
fore God and rise before man."
But even as he spoke, the shadow
Of an irresistible terror was already
lengthening over the Balkans. With
the same paralyzing speed that
marked the conquest of Poland, Nor
way and France. the Nazi armies
smashed into Yugoslavia. The
rumble Of Naz divisions echoed
through the towns as Peter II, less
than a month after his surprise
coup, escaped with members Of his
government, to carry on the battle
for Slav freedom. -...
But Patriarch Gavrilo decided he
could best carry on the struggle
where he was. He refused to leave,
and was taken prisoner by the
Italians. In his place. fiery, black
bearded Bishop Nikolai Velimiro-
witch. urges the guerrillas to con-
tinue their fight.
Whatever the future holds for
the Patriarch Gavrilo and his coun-
try, he has lived up to the precepts
of his predecessors. Courageously
the nation suffers, awaiting patient
ly the day of deliverance.
