THE GENERAL ELECTIONS in
Delaware next Tuesday will bring
to a close one of the quietest and
luke-warm campaigns experienced
in Delaware in recent years. AS the
campaign draws to a close compet-
ent political observers in Delaware
have a confused picture of the re-
suits to be expected when the bal
lots are counted. Most observers
believe that the Republicans will
elect their State and Legislative
ticket if the workers get out their
full vote. This if looms large,
however, for in many districts
throughout the State a fighting
campaign has not been waged-and
the final outcome as of the time of
writing certainly is doubtful. With
the apparent apathy on the part of
both voters and workers alike, the
Democrats stand to lose possibly
more on election day than do the
Republicans.
Wounds made previous to, and
during, the State Democratic Con-
vention which nominated the State
ticket, have not entirely healed.
Many of the Democratic candidates
and their friends who wanted office
are licking their wounds. They
vow vengeance on election day,
and they may carry these threats
to the polls next Tuesday. What
ever the outcome, most assuredly
the people of Delaware await the
verdict with more than normal
calmness.

A WEEK OF THE WAR

The Senate passed legislation to
lower the draft age from 20 to 18.
The Senate bill did not conform
with the one passed earlier by the
House, however, so the legislation
was sent to conference to adjust
the differences.
Educational deferments in the
Senate bill would be limited to high
school students in the last half of
their academic year. The Senate
bill would also defer farmers and
farm labor from military service
wherever their induction would
curtail agricultural production, un-
til requirements could be found.
The bill would exempt men from
Selective Service induction after
they have passed their forty-fifth
birthdays.
@ The War Front
Five strong Japanese attempts to
wipe out the American foothold on
Guadalcanal Island have been beat
en- off by Marines and soldiers at a
cost to the enemy of five tanks and
heavy casualties, the Navy announ-
ced late October %. Four attacks
were launched during the night of
October 23 and "a, paced by tanks
and covered by a field artillery
barrage, and the fifth attack was
thrown back early the next morn
ing. U. S. artillery, firing from en-
placements in the dense jungle,
were credited with large share of
the American success in the first
real test of strength with the Jap
anese on the Island. In fighting at
sea and over land in the Solomons
area between October 1925, 21
Japanese aircraft were destroyed
and three damaged, three vessels
damaged and two probably damag-
ed, with the loss of one U. S. air.
plane. Earlier the Navy reported
the destroyers O'Brien and Mere
dith were lost in the Solomons as
a result of enemy action.
General MacArthur's headquar-
ters in Australia announced Octo-
ber 26 that Allied planes operating
from Australia in support of Am-
erican forces in the Solomons have
delivered another heavy blow to
Japanese shipping in Rabaul har-
Dor, increasing their total sunk or
damaged there to 100000 tons in
three days. A cruiser, destroyer and
two cargo ships were believed def
initely to have seen sunk. Lieuten-
ant General Stilwell's Chinese
headquarters reported American
planes raided Hong Kong October
26 for the second time in two days
and also dropped bombs on Jap
anese-held Canton.
U. S. Flying Fortresses destroyed
nine German fighters in attacks on
the Lorient submarine base and a
Nazi airdrome near Cherbourg,
Army Air Force headquarters in
London announced. Three U. S.
bombers were missing. The Navy
announced the sinking of five more
U. S. merchant vessels in the north
Atlantic, four in July and one in
September. U. S. Naval forces
again raided the Gilbert Islands,
sinking two patrol boats and dam
aging two larger vessels.
.t Prisoners of War
Secretary of War Stimson told
his press conference that names of
four captured U. s. fiiers claimed in
Tokyo propaganda broadcasts cor
respond closely to the names of
four missing men, but stated the
War Department had no informa-
tion that the Japanese were failing
to abide by international law and
the Geneva Convention for the
treatment of prisoners. Mr.. Slim
son said "some of the planes" in
the raid on Tokyo encountered
bad weather after they left Japan
and were forced off their. course.
