ing the few repair facilities 1t

1t difncult to harass the Japanese

vital points Of combat.
Small Vessels Predominate.
AS far as 1t is possible to Judge
from the communiques, the prin-
cipal strength Of the United Ma
ticns Fleet Is In small fast vessels
which occasionally raid enemy
shipping and attack important
conveys. These vessels have a re-
stricted cruising radius and their
activities are necessarily confined.
The Japanese lose some transports
and even warships, but on the
whole our naval activities in the
South Pacific seem to interfere
but little with japanese op-
erations.
Besides the relatively insignifi-
cant raid on some of the islands
of the Marshall group, the task
force Of the United States has not
yet attempted a diversion by at
tacking important Japanese bases
or lines Of communication. The
reason for this Is the distance
from our present naval bases to
, the vital Japanese concentra-
ton points.
Air operations, conducted in the
past from airdromes In Java and
Sumatra, are likely to be limited
further If Singapore falls. The
Dutch islands are already under
heavy Japanese fire from the air.
This will be increased after the
fall Of Singapore and it is an
open question whether sufficient
air reinforcements can be sent to
the most threatened Indies bases
In time to save them.

them is up for reelection this
year. The entire membership Of
the House must be reelected.
Representative Fish is among the
members who hold Reserve COM
missions, and he has declared his
intention Of serving with troops if
he is given the opportunity.
1t Is presumed that If these
members of Congress enter mill
tary or naval service, they will be
given leave OF absence from
House or Senate. That was the
course pursued in the last World
War. Senator Lodge maintains
that active military service should
prove no bar to a campaign for
denomination and reelection,
under the circumstances. 1t was
recalled that former Representa-
tive Marvin Jones of Texas, while
he was serving in the A. E. F.
in France in the last war, was
reelected to his House seat. Any
ruling now that military service
would preclude a member of Con-
gress seeking reelection would
cause q turmoil.
Chandler Confident.
Senator Chandler confidently
expects denomination and re-
election. Nothing short Of a
political upheaval could upset
this calculation, for the Demo-
cratic factions in Kentucky ap-
pear to have buried the hatchet.
and Senator Chandler and his
colleague, Senator Barkley, the
Democratic leader of the Senate,
have been on amicable terms ever
since Senator Chandler was
elected to the Upper House. In
1898, Senator Chandler, then
Governor Of Kentucky, sought
unsuccessfully to win nomination
for the Senate against Senator
Barkley, who had the Presidents
support for reelection. Senator
Chandler holds a captains COM

Generals Department.

state Democrats do not believe
either Representative McKeough or

Opposed by State Treasurer.
On the Republican side, Senator
Brooks is opposed for renomina-
tion by Warren Wright, State treas
urer and an avowed 100 per cent
supporter Of Roosevelt war policies.
Mr.. Wright. however, suffers from
the charge that he is chiefly the
hand-picked candidate OF Secretary
Knox. Illinois Republicans bitterly
resented Secretary Knox's accept
ance of a place in President Roose-
velt's cabinet on the eve Of the Re-
publican National Convention in
1910. They were unable to see this
as anything but a Roosevelt coup,
designed to split the Republican
opposition at the start OF his third
term campaign.
To say the least, Secretary Knox
Is not popular with Illinois Repub-
licans and latterly this same feel
ing has extended to Wendell l..
Willkie, chiefly because Mr.. Willkie
and Secretary Knox have been in
agreement on international issues.
Since Pearl Harbor, all Repub-

Senator Brooks and the Chicago
Tribune, have been all out for pros

There is a section in the Fed

list shall hold any civil ONCE,
whether by election or appoint
ment, and every such officer who

ton of a civil officer shall there
by cease to be an officer of the

be thereby vacated" Even so,
there is nothing in this section
of the law which says that
man must resign his civil post
only his military commission. No
case in which a member of Con-
gress has been challenged on the
ground that he could not serve
in the military forces has been
discovered so far, 1t is said.

Brooks Up In Illinois.
In Illinois there is a senatorial
election this year, although it
does not involve Senator Lucas.
Senator Brooks, Republican, who
was elected in 1910 to fill the
unexpired term Of the late Sem
ator James Hamilton Lewis, must
stand for reelection. During
the last war Senator Brooks en-
listed in the United States Ma
rines, served overseas in the I'd
Division, and was commissioned
as second lieutenant and then
first lieutenant. He was wounded
seven times in action and then
invalided home. He was awarded
the Distinguished Service Cross,
American Navy Cross and the
CroiX de Guerre. 1t Is expected
he will be renominated to sue

maries. which are scheduled for

In any event, there is grave
concern now In Washington for
the safety Of the principal islands
Of the Netherlands Indies. 1t is
all very well for politicians in
key positions in Washington and
London to talk about reinforce

fact they know that whatever
assistance is being sent is Just
a drop in the bucket. It is not
so much a matter Of men as 1t

not being lavished on the de-
tenders Of the Netherlands
Indies.

in the Western and Southern
Pacific are practically homeless.
