With the American Army on the
Sedan Front. Nov. 6.-(By the As

of the Meuse, according to reports
reaching American headquarters, the
Germans are destroying property,

New York, Nov. 6.-The republicans
have reversed the democratic control
Of the house Of representatives on the
face Of incomplete returns up to 3
p. m. today.
At that hour both the republicans
and democrats we're claiming ma
jority of the senate. Returns indicated
that the membership of this body
would be close and possibly a tie, in
which event Vice President Marshall
would have the deciding vote.
With returns from II congressional
districts missing the republicans ap-
parently had succeeded in filing 235
of the total number, 435. of the seats
in the house. The democrats seemed
assured Of 191 seats, the socialists /
and the Independents 1.
The senate race was in doubt at 8
p. m. The democrats had seated As
on the face of the returns up to that
time and the republicans similar
number. Reports from six of the con-
tests were still incomplete with re-
turns 30 far favorinE three republicans
and three democrats
dicted they would have substantial
majorities but the returns showed be-
tween SO to Is congressional districts
still unreported and the line up so
close that the scales might easily be
turned in favor Of either party.
Some we'll known figures in public
life will be retired or at least have
close shaves by yesterdays voting.
Prominent among them are Speaker
