task is so huge and the dis
lance so great that our forces
must be thinly spread. Too
much might have been expected.
It is encouraging, however, to
learn that our first offensive
action against the Japanese has
met with success. The attack
on the Japanese held Solomons
Islands shows that our forces
are able to cope with the enemy
when prepared. But there is
as much to be undone in the
way of dislodging Japan from
conquered bases before we can
meet her on the terms and con-
ditions existing before Pear
Harbor. It will take much time
and the cost will be stagger-
ing. Worst of all the lives of
THOUSANDS of our boys will be
sacrificed. And the longer the
war lasts the greater will be
these losses.
For that reason it behooves
us, one and all, to accept the

readily see that the war effort
will be exacting a great deal

viewed in retrospect, so much
transpires in a short twelve

effort to hasten the
defense program. Today we
have been in the war eight
months and our production is
limited only by the acquisition
Of raw materials. We have
rationing of gasoline, sugar,
tires, automobiles and many
other items. Many unrationed
articles are unobtainable. We
are even being advised to pre-
pare for scarcity of fuel oil
next winter.
What will August, 1943 show?
While it is impossible to fore
tell it is not improbable that
we will find both food and cloth
ing rationed.
And all this rationing bust
ness is a real part of the war
effort No matter how many
men Uncle Sam takes into the
armed services the home serv-
ices will still have to carry

war on every continent is not
going in our favor. Germany
has made far greater advance
in Russia than was anticipated.
While we can hope that Russia
will not only hold but will
eventually launch an annihilat-
ing counter offensive the fact
today is that Hitler's hordes
are making daily progress in
their advance toward the Volga
and complete possession of the

Of Total, Democrats Show
A Majority Of More Than
Three To One

With official figures still unavail-
able apparent totals indicate that
Montgomery County has a total
registration of 41,000. This is an

The Democrats gained another

age as voters from July 90 to
August 8. Registration for this
period showed LIT new voters
registered as Democrats and 154
registering as Republicans, or
ratio of 8 to l in favor of the Dem
ocrats. Notwithstanding the fact
that Republican leaders in differ
ent parts of the County made a
determined drive to increase their
registration during the last ten
days of this years registration,
the total Republican registration
for this ten-day period was only
las. New registration during both
1871 and 1912 in Montgomery
County has shown an average ratio
of 10 to / in favor Of the Demo-
Gratis.
Since the November 1888 cleo
ton in which Herbert R. O'Conor
was elected Governor and the pres

Commissioners was elected, the
Democrats have increased their net
affiliated majority over the Repub-
licans in Montgomery County by
9,525 newly registered voters or
something over 300 more than the
total Republican registration in
Montgomery County, both old and
new. In this same 1888 November
election the average Democratic
majority in Montgomery County
was 5000 votes with the late Con-
gresham William d. Byron carry

Republicans and 81 as declined.
Recent published figures showed
a total registration of $3.50 Coun-

This was the figure of the total
