STANDING OF THE HOUSE AND
SENATE DURING NEXT CONGRESS
Situation Unparalleled In
American History as lnde-
pendentS May Decide Pre-
siding Officer of House.

"HE presidential contest Of 1915
will go down as one Of the
closest and most bitterly fought
battles of ballots in the history
OF the United States. Not alone was
President Wilson reelected by very
small margin, but the election once
more proved the truth Of the popular
assertion that every vote counts"
HOw clOSa the popular vote was In
many states may best be judged by
recalling that New Hampshire, nc first
placed In the Republican cOlu@R, was
later claimed TO bs In the Democratic
column and that the Democrats assert
ed they had won I'm that state by less
than 200 votes. New Hampshire again
returned TO the Republican column by
m small margin and still later was call
cd doubtful.
The Congress Situation.
Tt is asserted that President Wilson
win have trouble In dealing with the
Sixty fifth congress. The returns indi-
cate that, while his party will control
the senate by a majority of twelve, 1t
may not control the house. There are
435 seats, and it win take 21S to con-
troll that body. The Democrats appear
TO have elected 215 and the Republic
ans 211. Five seats are in doubt, and
there 10 one Socialist, one Independent,
one Progressive and one Pr0tectloniSt.
The Democrats ON the face Of the
returns have plurality and can elect
a speaker unless the representatives of
the minor parties combine with the
Republicans. A fight for the speaker
ship between the two parties may take
place. 1t will be the first time since
before the civil war.
In the upper branch Republicans
gained one senator each in New York,
New Jersey, Maryland and Ohio and
two in Indiana, where Thomas Tag
CART, the Democratic leader OF the
state, went down to defeat.
Notable among the senators elect
are Frank B. Kellogg Of Minnesota,
who prosecuted the Standard Oil COM
pany, and Philander G. Knox of Penn
sylvania, who was secretary OF state
under Taft

3O-Year Service

The Mitchell, we believe, holds the
record for service. Six Mitchell cars that
we know of have averaged l64 1872 miles
each. That means over 80 years of ordi-
nary service. And all are running daily.
The Mitchell is distinguished as being
the choice of the ablest engineers. Wehave
a long list to send-on request-of great
engineers who have chosen the Mitchell.
The Mitchell is long, roomy, impress
sive Its wheelbase is l27 inches. 1t has
a power tire pump, reversible headlights,
ball-bearing steering gear, gasoline
primer on instrument board, and many
other features which make this car favor
tie with men.

26 Extra Features
Because John w. Bate Saves Us 2O%

Our buildings covering As acres
were designed by him. He has equipped
them with 2O92 time-saving machines of
the most efficient sort.
In this model plant-where every
second is saved-we build SO per cent Of
this New Mitchell car. We build it for
half what it would have cost in our factory
of 1910. We build it for 20 per cent less,
we believe, than any other factory could
build like car.
Those are the reasons for these rs ex-
tras They are due to John W. Bate. Any
man who sees them will have new respect
for factory efficiency, carried to the far
thest limit.
Come, let us show them to you.

PSI Cars in One

The car rides ruts as a boat rides

most appealing feature found in
any car this year.

Each great designer, every sea-
son, contributes new ideas to cars.
The Mitchell designers contribute
their share.
At the New York Shown JAM
uary-all these new ideas appear.
No one car has all of them. One
designer has excelled in one fea-
ture, one in another. The ideal
car of the season would be COM

offer in this new-model Mitchell.
The Best-Liked Ideas
Some new ideas were fzzles.
Some were immensely attractive.
On each one our experts secured
the motorists verdict.
They picked out the lines which
were voted the handsomest. They
chose the new features which men
and women liked best. Then they
completed this new model to come
out in the spring, and combine
every last-minute feature in body
and equipment.
This never was done before.
This New Mitchell, therefore, is
show in itself. 1t shows all the

approved ideas. You will find it
by far the most interesting car
on exhibit.
Exclusive Springs
This is the only car which has
the Bate cantilever springs. They
offer ease of riding which was
never known before.
You will never believe what a
difference they make until we take
you over a stretch of rough road.

Springs

The New Mitchell has rs extra features
things you want in a car-which other
cars don't offer.
Most of these are exclusive to Mitchell.
And no car at any price has more than
four of them.
We invite you to see these extras.
Judge for yourself what each one means.
Judge how much you would miss it. When
you see 26 of them in single car, we think
you will want that car.

Those extras are paid for out of 10000
savings made by John w. Bate, the
efficiency expert.

TEACHERS MAY BE
 EXCLUDED FROM SCHOOLS.
New Rule to Apply to Them as Well
 as Children.

City Health Officer B. J. Brophy stated Monday that if circumstances warrant he would prohibit the teach CTS as well as scholars from returning to school until they have been home three weeks provided they are visit ing in places where there are cases of infantile paralysis.
 No child can enter Norwich now without a certificate from the health officer from the place from whence it came showing the child to be in good health and certifying that there is no infantile paralysis cases where the child came from. If a child comes from a place where there has been no cases of the malady the child may enter Norwich upon proper certifica- ton.
 No new cases have been received at the Backus hospital since Friday. Four cases there, brought from Colchester, one from just outside of Fitchville, are doing very well. The Posner child who has t11c most severe case of the disease shows slight improvement, but still is in very critical condition. All the cases at the hospital are from out of town, not a single case having ap- peared here. The school committee will this week hold a meeting when the matter of opening the town schools will be taken up for consideration.

SUBMARINE WAS TAKEN
 FOR THE BREMEN
U-Boat Off Fishers Island Caused
 Much Excitement Here.

Rumors that a submarine of foreign appearance had been sighted by the Fort Wright observatory several miles to the south of Fishers Island at 10 o'clock Monday morning aroused in tense excitement in Norwich and New London. That the unknown craft was the German sub-sea merchantmen Bremen was the generally accepted the )ry and telephone wires, local and long distance, buzzed with the vel come sensation.
 In less time than it takes to write 1t. motion picture camera operators, photographers and representatives of New York and Boston newspapers, who are making their temporary resi- dence in New London in the hope of getting the initial news and pictures of the famous submarine, were chas- ing one another down State street in a mad scramble for motor boats.
 But a few minutes had elapsed af- ter the receipt of the first report of the sighting of the submersibIe before dozens of craft of all descriptions from the modest rowbOat to such aristo- cratic seafarers as Julius FIeisch- mans Whirlwind had put out in the direction where the much anticipated freighter, of the deep was announced to be lying. Batteries of cameras. mo tion and otherwise. were placed in readiness to secure the first shot at the supposed Bremen.
 Substance of the Report.
 The substance of the information which was. received here from Fishers Island was to the effect that a sub marine of an unfamiliar type could be seen awash about 1000 yards to the south. She was said to be approach ing and that some minutes later after being observed she submerged to a point where only her coming tower was visible.
 The possibility that the craft might be one of those attached to the Navy Yard base naturally suggested itself immediately and an inquiry was made over the telephone to an officer there. The latter replied that the monitor TOnopah and seven submarines left the base at S30 for Block Island and vicinity where they intended to ma neuver.
 The officer quoted said it was. of course, possible that the submarine which had been noted at Fort Wright might be one of those which had gone out but it did not seem altogether probable. He also intimated that it would be a simple matter for any one familiar with submarines to determine whether the one seen off Fishers ISl- and was of the type belonging to the United States. There is one at the base, the G-3, which resembles, some what the Deutschland, but is very much smaller.
 Probably a U. s. Submarine. It was stated at Fort Wright that the opinion then prevailed there that the submarine, which had been sighted wa sone of those attached to the New London base,o since one of that type had just been seen maneuvering in the vicinity.
