Both Demo crats and Republicans indicated they might demand recounts today in the wake of hairbreadth decisions resulting from Tuesday's general election. Both national and state issues were involved in the cross currents of party sentiment.

Final unofficial returns swung the state into the Republican column na tionally behind Wendell Willkie for President, and indicated the election of a Republican for At torney General and a Democrat for State Treasurer, all by margins of less than 7000 votes in a total of more than 2,000,000. Late returns from rural districts, coupled with discovery of errors in earlier counts, upset the na row lead President Roosevelt had held in the contest for Michigan's nineteen electoral votes, and pushed Willkie in front by 6874 votes. The complete, unofficial tabulation gave Willkie 1,032,837 votes to 1,025,963 for President Roosevelt. York Bridge Jacked Up For Steel Structure York, Nov. 8.

Hitler's scheme seems to be to take the Balkan states over one by one, without without any more fuss and feathers than is neces sary, until he has consolidated that whole strategic area into a base from which to try to force the Dardanelles and drive at Britain's eastern flank, Whether he will inaugurate this big offensive soon must depend on circumstances, including Musso lini's progress in Greece. The Axis will be daring if it tackles the Dardanelles before spring, since the fall and winter weather in that part of the world is pretty terrible. Terrain, which under the best of circumstances is difficult for maneuvers, becomes a sea of greasy, clinging mud, Hungary, lying at the head of the Balkans, is well within the Nazi camp.

The hobnails of German troops are tramping down the roll ing fields of Rumania. Bulgaria is non belligerent under the leadership of King Boris (who is son in law of the King of Italy), but it would occasion no surprise to see her grant Germany the privilege oL using her territory as base for an army right up against the Turkish and Greek borders.

For this reason Belgrade's policy long has been to make no alliances with great powers end to be enemies with no great powers. This seems like a smart idea, since Yugoslavia is a natural battle ground and has always figured that she would be a victim of the next war. The world won't soon forget that the last great conflict was touched off in Serbia. In Dangerous Position Despite their vulnerable posi tion the Yugoslavs have announced that they will defend themselves if attacked. Most certainly that will be the whole inclination of one of the bravest races under the sun.

More than once during the World War the little Serbian army ill equipped, hungry and struggling through the snows with feet tied up in bloody rags picked the gangling hulk of the Austro Hun garian war giant up and tossed it over its shoulder. It was one of the bravest exhibitions of history. les, the Yugoslavs will want to fight, though they are a peace loving and kindly people who, as I have found, always are eager to throw their little homes open to guests and extend the traditional honey and water. Howeverone is bound to wonder how far Yugoslavia would be able to defend herself against the might of the Jyears ago I found that the peoplejtwo great Axis powers. OBITUARIES RAIBT 8.
