War Situation Last Night

(By Klrke L. Simpson, Associated Press war Analyst]

Under- shelter of the valor of a Inllllon or more fighting men it has already sent to far fronts afloat, ashore and in the air, the American electorate goes to the polls today tn keep faith anew with the pledge that government of the people, by the people and for the people shall not perish from the earth.

That first Tuesday after the first Monday in November salw control ef the House of Representatives pass from the ruling Democratic Party in the Republicans. That could again happen although there is little to suggest it.

0n that 1918 election day, however, the war scene abroad was far different from that forming the background of this national polling. Allied-American victory then was assured. The armistice would end hos- tilities before the election results were fully canvssserl. The, central powers were crumbling internally. Voters thoughts were more of pence than war as they went to the polls.

The attrition score at- sea and in air against her is mounting; but she still holds firm sway over all the China Sea, over Burma and much of China and gravely threatens both Russia and Australia. Her defeat In the Solomons lg obviously only to be regarded as a first-round victory, heartening but inconclusive,
