REPUBLICAN CONTROL
OF SENATE INDICATED

Republican control of the Senate
seems assured today. The latest re-
turns of the elections in New Mevico,
Michigan and Idaho indicate that the
republicans have been successful in
Michigan and New Mexico. In Idaho
the democratic candidate, Senator
Nugent, was leading by 200 votes. A
recount may be required to settle the
election there.
In any event the republicans will
control the Senate, with forty-nine
seats to forty-seven, according to the
latest advices. Should they also win
Idaho. the republicans would have
fifty seats and the democrats forty

So there is little disposition to
blame our naval censors. but there
is considerable wonder that the Euro

OF holding up even innocuous mes
sages. should allow such a dangerous
report to go through to America.
Investigations are already being
carried on between the United States
and France to learn who was re-
sponsible. The lesson that the Incl
dent teaches is that reliance must be
placed only on official announcements
in the uncertain days of the imme-

Claim Message Was Deleted.

Local managers of the United Press
had nothing to say. but it was claim
ed in their behalf that the receiving
editors in New York city were mis-
led by their own cable because the
European censors had deleted a por-
ton of it.
For instance, it is said that the
original message contained in it a
statement that Admiral Wilson, L. S.
N. had said the report was mot con-
firmable." and that the censors had
emitted those few words. 1t was con-
tended that had the United Press been
permitted to see the whole message
some doubt of the authenticity of the
dispatch would have been created and
no such positive statement as was
circulated throughout the country yes
terday would have been released over
Its wires.
Many people who were inclined to
credit the dispatch, because it passed
the European and American censors.
were indignant today over the failure
of the censors to hold up such mes
sage for verifcation.

Main Part of Hun Defense.

Machine guns and artillery form the
main part of the German rearguard
defense. The German divisions in
front of the British are weak in num-
bers, tired out by fighting and greatly
disorganized. Their falling back, how
ever, cannot be characterized as a
rout, for they still retain an organiza-
ton which enables them to withdraw
more or less Systematically.
Prisoners captured by the British tell
of the desperate straits of their army.
They report that on some sectors the
soldiers retreated without orders. and
that on others they refused to deliver

fact, not disposed to do so, because
of the expectation that any minute

well warrant the expression of a ma

Transition Period Brought to View
But the incident showed conclusive
1y how unprepared the nation, and
particularly the government, was for
the transition period.
Contractors worried whether their
contracts would be impaired and their
loans and other obligations affected.
Volunteer workers strained at the
leash to get back to accustomed occu-

seemed imminent. Fortunately there

Some Current Rumors.
Some rumors have had it that the
German delegates were Instructed to
sign an armistice before they left
Berlin, and that the Germans knew
the terms would be drastic because
of the publication everywhere of the
conditions of the armistice with
Austria
In view of the decentralization in
the German navy and the riots and
disorders back of the line, the pres
ent German government probably is
eager to conclude any sort of an
agreement that will strengthen its
cwn hand with the people and keep
their peace demands from grow ing
into revolution and anarchy.
Thus the government here con-
fidently expects hostilities to end
within a short time, but no one will
of course make any announcement to
that effect until it is absolutely sure
such development has occurred.
The Department of State investigat-
ed the origin of the premature report
and found that the United Press had
flashed it throughout the country.

got on the car. They appeared to be
very attentive and devoted to each
other. There were only two vacant
seats on the car, one at the side of Mr..
Barrett, and the other on the opposite
side of the car. The young woman sat
down in one of the vacant seats and
the young man in the other, but too
far away to talk to the young woman.
The couple looked at each other with
longing eyes, as If they wished to sit
together. The car was rafting along
ut a noisy rate, which made it impos-
sible for one person to talk to another
any distance away. Mr.. Barrett mo-
honed with his fingers to the young
man, and pointed to the seat he was
occupying, and also to the seat the
young man was occupying, indicating
q change Of seats. IS
The young man gladly accepted the
proflered change Of seats, and soon
he5tWo were seated together and en-
joying each others talk. The car
stopped at the next crossing and Mr..
Barrett was surprised and amused to
hear the young woman murmur to the
young man, as both looked at Mr.. Bar
rett with thanks in their eyes:
