[Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, Nov G. German forces in their retreat from Belgium are bombarding defenseless towns. us- ing especially gas shells. and devas- tating the countryside, according to an eye witness account made public today by the Belgian legation.
 The Belgian government has been informed said the statement, "by a reliable eye witness, who follows close ly the operations at the Belgian front, that at the very moment that the Ger man government has announced her protest against inhuman acts and while Germany offers to stop aerial bombardments in the interest of the civil population of the occupied terri tory, the Germans have bombarded the villages and towns which they were obliged to abandon during their re- treat; they have used especially gas shells for this purpose.
 "Indescribabie heartrending scenes have occurred, the unfortunate popula tion having no gas masks or means of protection against these death spread ing fumes. A Belgian soldier entering Wyngheme, his home town. found his wife dying and his little daughter dead, victims of the poison gas. and his home Q heap of ruins. The country all around Ghent, the rich and beautiful cultivated fields and pastures, tbe picturesque villages of HansbeBe, Landeghem. Ne vele, Laethem.

 AS THEY CONQUER
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES IN FRANCE. Nov. .6.-(By The Associated Press)-10 D. m.-The French armies made another forward bound today of from five to seven miles. along their front from east of Guise to their june ton with American forces west of the Mouse, pressing close on the rear guards left by the Germans, who are in full retreat.
 General Debeney's troops. tramping through mud and drenched by rain, captured Nouvaion and Regnacal for ests. The booty taken over this front indicates that the enemys retreat has been more precipitate than that of yes terday Prisoners captured say that the retreat will continue for a distance of. fifteen or twenty miles further.
 The march If General Gourauds men toward the Mouse went on during the day with increased speed. After work ing all night under heavy shell fire in the construction of bridges for infantry and artillery over the Aisne and the Ardennes canal. they crossed the swollen stream in force and took up their advance this morning. throwing back the rear guards, taking Bethel and advancing into the Rethel pocket for an average distance of six and a half miles. and liberating twenty four villages, with the greater part of their inhabitants.
 In some towns were found men of military age whom the Germans had gently brought back from behind their lines.
 The cavalry of the first army had this afternoon reached the road from Vervins to Avesnes. A considerable number of prisoners and immense booty fell into the hands of the French arm ies during the day.

Increases are particularly notice ble in commodities lines not affected by the governments price fixing pro- gram.
 Many manufacturers and other pro- ducers are reported following q conser- vative course by keeping only small stocks on hand, in preparation for new business conditions after the war.
 Rising prices and credit imitation, the board says, must be opposed by strict Iy personal economy. Despite war econ- omy propaganda it appears. says the board. that many classes of the pop ulation are still spending their current incomes as freely as eyer. notwith- standing the fact that prices today are at a record figure. because they have not yet embraced the national duty to save as a personal obligation"

Speaker Clark Returned

Tonight's returns show plainly that Speaker Clark, instead of being de- feated, as was reported last night as likely. has been reelected by a sub stantial majority.
 The contests which will decide the political complexion of the senate were very close. As the senate stands with out a decision in these contests, there are 46 democrats and A republicans.
 In Michigan the race between Henry Ford and Truman H. NeWberry was so close that it was said an official count might be required to decide the winner Both parties were claiming the seat. In new Mexico, where republicans are claiming the election of Senator Fall by a majority of 1000 at least, not single county had reached complete returns.
 In Idaho, where 74,000 votes, out of an estimated total of 5000 has been counted, Senator Nugent. the demo- cratic candidate for reelection was leading Frank R. GoodinS. the repub lican candidate, by little more than 300 votes. The result is in doubt.
 Senate Control Vital
 With the house firmly in the hands of the republicans, control of the sen ate is more important than ever to the democratic administration. If the ad- mlnlstratlon can retain control of the senate, it can, in a large measure. check the activities of the republican house. It is doubly important to the national administration, because of tho part which the constitution assigns to the senate in the ratification of the peace treaties which will end the world war.
 In the senate reposes the prerogative of rafifNin0 any treaties which the president may make
 With the senatorial returns still missing from Michigan, Idaho and New Mexico, the figures showed that the republicans had lost one-that of Sen ator Weeks of Massachusetts-whi the democrats had lost six. The sen ators who will be retired are Shafroth of Colorado. Salisbury of Delaware, Lewis of Illinois, Thompson of Kans- as, Wilfley of Missouri and Hollis of ! New Hampshire.

ROOSEVELT SAYS ,B|G VICTORY FUR
 AMER|CAN|SM

OYSTER BAY, N. Y., Nov. G. Colonel Theodore Roosevelt in a statement tonight declared that the republicans had made their fight lon the unconditional surrender is sue' and as "it appears we have republican congress" the result must be cause of profound thank fuIness to loyal, far sighted Ameri- cans"
 Asserting that the "victory serves notice on Germany that Foch will dictate the terms of the armistice, and that the terms of peace will be determined by all the allies" the colonel continued:
 "The republicans will heartily support President Wilson in efforts to put forth our whole strength and efficiency in the war, and to secure a peace that will guarantee the re- suit Of the war. All extravaganza, corruption or inefficiency in wag- ing the war, any Ieniency to Ger man spies or conspirators at home, and any effort to interfere with the freedom of speech, or with the press, by honest supporters of the war, who protest against ineffi- ciency in waging the war will, 1 be- lieVe, result in congressional n- Vestigation and exposure of the guilty parties.
 "The result of the election is really extraordinary, inasmuch as the entire pro- German and paclfist vote was behind the Wilson demo- cratic ticket. and in view of the further fact that the enormous war powers of the administration have such adroit and interruptions par tisanship. l regard the result as much more victory for straight Americanism than republication"

REJECT! NO ARGUMENT ON
 ARn1ISTTCE TERMS

front but the time that must elapse before there is a decision as to their acceptance or rejection probably will depend largely upon the powers with which the German delegation has been clothed.
 There is nothing here to indicate just what authority has been conferred upon these representatives of the Ger man government. The official an- nouncement from Berlin via London today said:
 German Delegates En Route
 "A German delegation to conclude an armistice and take up peace negotia- tions had left for the western front" but the language employed may or may not be significant.
 Officials here have assumed that the German representatives, after securing the terms from Marshal Foch, will transmit them by telegraph or convey them personally to the German high command in the field, for it is under stood to be the purpose, in the present case, as was done with Austria, Bull garia and Turkey, to deal with the ar mistice as purely military issue be- tween the military commands. Either Accept or Reject
 Should this procedure be followed, it is regarded here as probable that sev- eral days may elapse while the Ger man general staff, now nominally, at least, subordinate to the civil gov ernment, can consider the conditions laid down and reach a decisicn. There can be no argument as to the terms, no matter how harsh they may appear I to the Germans. The only course left to Germany is to accept or reject them l Meantime, Marshal F'och is expected to l continue the pressure on the Teutonic armies which new threatens their safe ty along 200-mile front
 No announcement has vet been made public. Their publication very l probably will be delayed until Gerrnany has reached a decision with regard tC their acceptance or rejection.

GERMANY REACHES
 FINANCIAL LIMIT

LONDON, Nov. 6.-(British wireless service)-Germany's financial position IS desperate and rapidly approaching the breaking point. After she raised her eighth war loan her national debt. it is estimated, approached 5000. 900 GOO pounds sterling. It is assumed that since then it has reached 1000, 900 900 pounds. On June 23 last the reichstag adopted a vote of credit of 15,O0O. 900. 900 marks which it was then declared would raise Germany's war debt to 39,000 000 900 marks or nearly 7000 100000 pounds.
 Assuming that the debt stands now at 142 900. 000.000 marks. Germany has mortgaged therefore, more than two fifths of her national wealth, estimated at 16,000, 100000 pounds.
 That this figure is approaching Ger manys limitation in the war. is indi- cated by remarks made from time to time by authorities in Germany.

 Stating that in the next few weeks we will sell approximately $200,000,000 worth of enemy owned concerns in this country at public auction" Mr. Palmer appealed to'bankers to help him crush the strangle-ho which Germany, through it's bankers and agents. has had upon most of the essential indus tries of this country"
 NIr. Palmer described the German bank as "a spiders web that spreads over the financial world" and declared that German bankers in this country alone had aided in building up industry after industry 'totalling possibly s. GOO GOO, GOO in money value and billions more in potential political value."
 Without attempting to prophesy what may be done with the proceeds, for this must remain to be settled by the treaty of peace, it is safe to say that the businesses which the Germans built up in America will be lost to them forever" said MT. Palmer. No other course would be compatible with the safety of American institutions. No other course would make the American field of industry and commerce safe for democracy.

The troops who accomplished it will be entitled to rank as heroes, for their work in miitarily crossing the stream was a strategic move of unusual daring.
 The crossing involved the forcing of a way over the 160-foot river. a half mile wide stretch of mud and a sixty loot canal, In the face of a frightful en- emy fire.

All the swimmers of the first pilgade were first singled out and put Tn the van. It was intended to attack Tn tfls way on the theory that the swimmers were less likely ta be hit by the Germans, owing to the fac. that they would be nearly submerged. On the other hand they could carry with them ropes and other pardDhornalia for assisting non swimmers across. The building of pontoon bridges was put off until at least some American elements had crossed the river
