HUNS SEND TOLEARNF Emissaries Unoffi Allied Lines. ( Not Allow Deserted by all her former allies: her great military machine in the process of destruction by the onslaughts. of the entente allied armies, fcer dream of world domination rudely .dissipated, Germany begs for a cessation of hostilities notwithstanding the I "bard terms she knows she must pay. ' , Scarcely had the decision of the supreme war council at Versailles, with regard to a cessation or nostnues wun Oermany been made public than Germany was speeding emissaries to Foch to learn what the commander in chief a terms are to be. These representatives of Germany were reported by unofficial London to have reached the allied lines. Meantime in France and Flanders ^ the enemy forces are being given no rest. Along the whole battle line in France the British, French and Amerm >can troops have made further material gains and reclaimed numerous towns and villages. Thousands more of <3ermans have been taken prisoner ion all the sectors under attack. Gen. orally the enemy forces are in slow retreat, but nevertheless at some points they are offering sharp resist??ce. nariieularfr against the Ameri cas in the Me use river region and the French in the old Argonne sector. The latest gains of the British on k. the western side of the battle frort I have been productive of the capture f of several towns of great importance, the gaining of more territory reast. ?* r f Vi-o f!a.. tu l^ie OWUCIUI vauai nutui *uv nadians are on the attack and in the taking of several railway junctions of high strategic value. Along the Meuse the Americans con tinue steadily to push forward and at last accounts were almost at the gates -of Sedan, dominating point on the German iine of communication to the k east. Both east and west of the I* river the Germans have materially Tctftfanpd thpir resistance against the F w ? i tnen from overseas, using large num. bers of macliine guns and gas in* great Quantities in an endeavor to impede their progress. To the west of the American sector the Germans near iRethel are holding a bridgehead to protect their retiring armies east and west. In doing so. however, they are forming a dangerous salient in which capture is likely should the French break through. Numerous additional crossings vof the Aisne have been made by the French. Altogether the situation of the German army is a critical one. * $ <8> ^ PPT* TROSS WORK k* 1KED CROSS NOTES? heldS F Christmas Parcels for Xen Xow Embarking.

REPUBLICAN SENATE YE t' i With Trio of Seats ? ?i n? milieu JL/CflCUt# U(< hind in Up) ? b Washington, .Nov. 6.?With control of the house of representatives in the hands of the Republicans by a majority of 16 and probably more the attention of the country tonight was j centered in contests in the three States, Michigan, Idaho and New Mex- d ico, which will decide whether the j Democrats shall lose control of the a senate as well. rj At midnight returns from five con- a gressional districts were missing in j Montana, New Mexico and South Da- T kota. " t Without them, however, the .Repub- a licans have 234 seats in the house? 16 more than the 218 votes necessar* j for a majority. B The Democrats on the face of those ( returns had 195 seats and if the five r missing districts were to he conceded s to them they still would lack 18 vote* ? of the number necessary to control tho s house. - j Tonight's returns show plainly that j ? - ? - ^ Jl x J ^ Speaker CiarK, insieaa 01 oeing uc.j . feated, as was report * ?as been re- f ] elected by a snbstant. majority. a The contests which will decide the j polltica.1 complexion of tfce senate were j very close. As the senate standi j. without a decision in the contesf j there are 46 Democrats and' 47 Republicans. ' f In Michigan the race between Henry Ford and Truman H Newberry wa* v i ' v so- close that it was said an official \ 1 count might be required tQ decide the < winner. Both parties were claiming * fthe seat. v.; **' ' > j I " . t lii New Mcfxifcd where Republicans \ ' are claiming the eiection of Senator | j Fall by a majority of 1,000, at ieaj^fg not a single county had re ported .conv ? plette returns. - . t In Idaho, where 74,000 votes out of 5 i an estimated total of 95.000 had been j ccunted, Senator 'Nugent, the Demo-! Q cratic candidate for reelection, was | leading Frank R. Gooding, the Ro-f^ publican candidate, by little more?a than 300 votes. The result, is in doubt. n With the house firmly in the hands t of the Republicans control of the sen- j v ate is more important mau ctgi i T itJ the Democratic administration. If the ' n administration can retain control of ,, i u the senate it can in a large measure j a | check the activities of a Republican j B I house. It is doubly important to v fhe national administration because Q of the part which the constitution assigns to the senate in the ratification g of the peace treaty which will em! ^ the world war. x i i v In the senate reposes the preroga-j j natifvirtc ar.v treaties which | c V,*. . the president would make. Republicans made one of their cam- g paign arguments on the contention c that a Republican senate should be 0 elected to participate in the work of t making peace. The Democratic ad- j ministration on the other hand con-1 j. j tends that the negotiation of treaties ! j is wholly the function of the executive branch and that the senate's pare a is to ratify them. t With the senatorial returns still ^ missing from Michigan, Idaho fend j. j New Mexico, the figures showed th?f j the Republicans had lost one?that of j ^ Senator Weeks of Massachusetts; while the Democrats had lost six. The ^ senators who will be retired are t( Shafroth of Colorado, Saulsbury of j Delaware. Lewis of Illinois, Thompson of Kansas, Wilfly of Missouri and Hollie of New Hampshire.
