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.

cas in the Me use river region and the
French in the old Argonne sector.
The latest gains of the British on

Along the Meuse the Americans con

To the west of the American sector
the Germans near iRethel are holding

however, they are forming a dangerous

Numerous additional crossings vof the

Altogether the situation of the German

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

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 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
