Whereas, a week ago, we looked toward the Solomons with much misgiving, the news that has come out of the area is most heartening. The Japanese fleet has suffered severe losses, much greater than our own. The marines and soldiery have started an offensive of their own and have taken over more of Guadalcanal island in land fighting, instead of being driven from it. It is not to be taken that the Japs have given up their hope or intention of driving us from the islands. They still have strong forces for the purpose, and are probably reassembling them for a further attack. But, the first round of the second phase of the Solomons fighting has definitely gone to the Americans and Australians. A MAJOR VICTORY i? in the making in North Africa.
