OF Pacific Naval Bat
tie Between British
And Germans s

London, Nov 5.-9.15 P. M.-No de-
cision has yet been reached in the bat
tie on the sand dunes of West Fland-
ers and the opposing armies stand
now virtually as they have stood for
many days.
While the Germans keep hammering
away at the Allies around Ypress
neither side has got very far. This
Belgians and those supporting them
have found that the floods. which they
created to stop the German advanced
are hinderance to their own moves
ments, although they have been able
to occupy some villages. including
Bixschoote.
Around Ypres the German offensive
according to the accounts of the ALI
lies has met with no success. In fact
it seems that all along the line there
has been merely repetition of artil-
lery duels and of infantry attacks and
of counter attacks, which some timd
succeed but more often do not.

Contests in Doubt

Senatorial contests still in doubt
tonight were in Colorado, Nevada and
Wisconsin. Democratic leaders still
claimed the election of Charles S.
Thomas over Hubert Work in Colo
RADIO and of Francis D. Newlands over
Samuel Plat in Nevada. Republican
leaders claimed the election of Fran
els E. MeGovern over Paul A. Husting.
Democrat in Wisconsin, but through
an error discovered late in the day
in one of the Wisconsin counties an
apparent majority of McGovern had
been swept away, leaving the situa-
ton much in doubt.
The result in only one COMPRESSION
al district was undetermined tonight
In the first New York district Fred
erick c. Hicks, Republican, and Rep
Lathrop Brown were running on vir-
tually even terms and the outcome
probably will not be known until an
official vote is made.
In computing the Democratic total
in the House at 229. William Kettner
of the 18th California district who al
so ran on the Progressive ticket and
ranks as a Progressive in the present
Congress is included with the party
majority. Representative John !.
Nolan of the 10th California dis
trict who ran on the Republican am
ProgEessixee sseketss.. and knsas .sselectes
to the present congress as a progres
sive Republican is classed with the
Republicans. Representative William
Kent of the First California district
is ranked as an Independent. This
would give the Republicans seven
members of the House.
