CONTROL OF SENATE
STILL IN DOUBT
Republicans Hold Az Senate
Seats, Three More Elec-
tions Unsettled

Washington, d. c. Nov. 7.-Control of
the United States Senate continued to
remain in doubt early to-day on the face
of returns from three states where con-
tests between the Democratic and Re-
publican candidate continued close as
the count progresses. The Republicans
further increased their majority in the
House when two Of three seats from
South Dakota were conceded to them.
Three seats, one each in South Dakota,
New Mexico and Montana, still remain
in doubt.
The standing Of the two parties in the
next House, without the three missing
districts, is; Republicans 236, Democrats
1876, Republican majority of Al. In the
Senate without the three doubtful seats
there are AZ Republicans and 46 Demo
Gratis. Of the Senate races to be decided,
Truman II. Newberry, Republican, APP
peared TO be maintaining his lead over
Henry Ford, the Democratic candidate in
Michigan. With 222 precincts to hear
from, Newberry was leading his opponent
by 1898 votes. The Michigan state Re
publican committee claimed Newberry's
election, declaring the remaining districts
are normally Republican.
Supporters Of Senator Fall Of New
Mexico continued to claim his election on
the basis Of scattering returns. AS these
reports came from unofficial sources, the
contest continued to be placed in the
doubtful class.
In Idaho Frank H. Gooding was max
ing deep inroads into the majority cred
tied TO Senator John +. Nugent, Demo-
crat. Early to-day Nugent's lead was
only 446 with $4,000 of the states esti-
mated vote of 95,O00.

ALLIED WEDGE Is

Front, Nov s, II p. m. by the Associat-
ed Press The great wedge which the
French and Americans have driven into
the German lines west of the Meuse is
within four miles of Sedan tonight.
American forces have taken Vilemon-
try, Mont De Bruno, Autrecourt and Com
mage. The French, in cooperation with
the Americans, have reached Omicourt.
The Americans at one place have ad-
vanced over four and half miles. The
villages taken include Bulson, Harau-
court and Raucourt. Great quantities of
commissary stores, many railroad cars
and equipment and enormous amounts
of war material have been captured.

newspapers recently when they charged
that the Russian embassy in Berlin was

that more than 400 couriers had been

bassador, during the short period he had
been in Berlin.

MAY TAKE SOME DAYS
BEFORE A DECISION
By Germany on Whether or Not to Ac-
cept Armistice Terms Of the
Allies.

Washington, D. G., Nov within a
few hours the German high command will
know the terms upon which the plea Of
the German government for an armistice
looking toward peace may be granted.
Upon receiving the armistice terms,
formulated by the supreme war council
of the allied and United States govern
ments, it is believed by officials here, the
German emissaries win transmit the con-
ditions Immediately by telegraph or pre-
sent them in person TO the German high
command in the field. This belief is
predicated on the assumption that as in
the case of Bulgaria, Turkey and Aus
tria, the armstice question win be dealt
with as purely military issue.
II is thought by diplomatic observers
here that several days may be required
by the German military heads for dis
cussion before decision is reached,

AMERICANS TOOK

And Have Freed All French Territory
Within the Zone of the Army's
Action West of the Meuse.

Front, Nov. 7, LAS p. m. tBy the Asso-
ciated Pressl American troops to-day
entered that part of Sedan that lies on
the west bank of the Meuse.
The bridge over the Meuse at Sedan
over which the retreating enemy fled had
been destroyed and the river valley flood
ed.
The principal German lateral lines of
communication between the fortress of
Metz and northern France and Belgium
are now either cut or unavailable for the
enemy's use.
Since Nov the Americans have taken

French territory within the zone Of the

total of 700 square kilometres, and have
liberated 1000 civilians.

FRENCH CAVALRY
CHASED GERMANS
They Are Pushing in the Direction of the
Meuse River-Pursuit of Retreat
ing Germans Keeps Up.

Paris, Nov 7.Along the entire French
front the pursuit of the retreating Ger
mans was taken up again this morning,
says to-day's war office announcement.
The French have thrown cavalry into
the action on their right, where the
mounted troops are pushing in the direc-
tion of the Meuse.
The French are moving forward east of
the forests of Nouvion and Regnaval
and north of the Serre and Aisne rivers.
The statement reads;
"The pursuit of the enemy was re-
newed this morning on the whole of the
front. We are progressing east of the
forests of Nouyion and Regnaval and
north of the Serre and the Aisne On
the right (where the French lines join the
American), French cavalry detaclments
are pushing in the direction Of the
Meuse."

Field Marshal Haig rapidly is clearing
the Germans from that portion of France
east and southeast of Valenciennes. The
British have smashed farther through the
enemy lines defending Mons and Maui
beuge and are outfianking the German
positions in Belgium, where the German
commander at Ghent is evacuating the
city East and southeast Of the Normal
forest the British also have made great
strides toward the Franco Belgian bor-
der.
The French armies from north Of the
Oise to southeast of Mezeres maintain
contact with the retiring enemy all along
the front. The last natural obstacles
west of the Belgian frontier have vir-
tually all been cleared and the terrain
before the French is admirable for ma
neuvering On the extreme right, where
the French lines join the American,
French cavalry are riding toward the
Meuse between Mezieres and Sedan.
In reaching the Meuse at Sedan, Gen
eral Pershings men had achieved an ad-
vance Of four miles since late Wednesday
night. Germany's main line of commu-
nication from Metz westward goes
through Sedan, and it no longer is of use
to the enemy. In their rapid advance
northward to Sedan since last Friday the
Americans have captured 5000 prisoners.
Sedan is seven miles from the French
frontier and the fall of the town, which
is mostly at the east bank of the Meuse,
would mean the definite turning of the
Meuse line northward into Belgium and
would force the Germans back almost to
the Rhine if hostilities should continue.
East Of the Meuse the Americans press
forward toward Montmedy.
Germanys troops west OF the Meuse,
because Of the great progress of the
French and Americans, must now re-
treat, if they can, through Belgium. The
task of moving this large force of sol
diers through the narrow Liege gap is a
formidable one.
