Michigan, Idaho and New Mexico to Decide If Sen
 ate to Be Democratic.
REPUBLICANS HAVE
 LEAD ONE MEMBER
The Final Outcome Will Be Exceedingly Close; Off
 cial Count in Michigan

Washington, Nov. 6.-LWith control of the, house of representatives placed in the hands of the Republicans by a majority of 16 and probably more, the attention of the country tonight was centered on contests in three states Michigan, Idaho and New Mexico which will decide whether the Demo- crats shall lose control of the stnate as well.
 At midnight returns from five con- greslona districts were missing--in Montana, New Mexico and South Da- kOta.
 Without them, however, the Repub- licans have won 234 seats in the house of representatives-l6 more than the 2l8 votes necessary for majority.
 The Democrats on tlle fact of the returns had 195 seats and if the five missing districts wtre to be conceded to them they still would lack IS votes of the number necessary to control the house.
 Tonights returns show plainly that Speaker Clark, instead of being defeated as was reported as being likely, lastn fight, has beer reelected by a substantial majority. a. 5..
 The contests which will decide the political complexion of the Senate stands without decision in these contests there are 46 Democrats and 47 Republicans.
 In Michigan the race between Hem ry Ford and Truman H. Newberry was so close that it was said an cffi- cial count might be required to de. eide the winner. Both parties were claiming the seat In New Mexico, where Republicans are claiming the election of Senator Fall by a najor- ity of 1000 not a single county had re- ported complete returns.
 In Idaho, where 74,C0 votes of an estimated total of 95,0O0 had been counted, Senator NuyenJ. the Demo- cratic candidate for re election was leading Frank R. Gooding the Re- publican candidate, by little more than 300 votes.
 With the house firmly in tht hands of the Republicans, control of the ser,- ate IS more important than ever to the Democratic administration. If the sd- mlnistrati0n can retain control of the senate, it can in large measure. check the activities ot the Republican house. It is doubly important to the national administration because of the 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 proroga- tive of ratifying any treaties which the president may make. Republicans made one of their campaign argu-3 ments on the contention that Re- publican senate should be elected to participate in the work of making peace. The Democratic administra- tion, on the other hand contends that the negotiation of treaties is wholly the function of the executive branch and that the senatt's part is to ratify them.
 With the senatorial returns still missing from Michigan, Idaho and New Mexico, the figures showed that the Republicans had lost one-shat of Senator Weeks of Massachusetts while the Democrats had lost six the senators who will be retired are Shafroth, of Colorado; Saulshnrg If Delaware; Lewis of Illinois; Thomp- son of Kansas; Wilfrey of Missouri and Hollis of New Hampshire.

GERMANS CONSIDER TIC
 AUSTRIAN TERMS SEVERE

Copenhagen, Nov. 5.-The German press considers the Austrian armis- tice conditions, not only evtraordin- arily severe, but unjust and in vio-s lation of President Wilson's program
 The Frankfort Gazette criticizes the lack of mutuality regarding the rec lease of prisoners and also the main-l tenance of "hunger blockade" while the allies at the same time reserve freedom to action to make requisi- tions on conquered lands" The newa- paper express the hope that the alliess will not try to impose similar condi- tions on Germany, declaring tint thin would mean that all that had goi1e before "would be trilling comp to the horrors to como. z sl| sz

JUST TWO REPLIES
 CAN BE ACCEPTED
Up to Germany to Answer "Yes" Or "No;" Terms
 On Way to Front.
Montreal, Nov. 6.-The Montreal Star this evening publishes the following dispatch from London: that Germany has decided to ac- "Semi.Ofiicial reports declare cept FOcl's termS.~

Washington. Nov. 6-Armistice terms prepared for Germany by the Supreme War Council soon will be in the hands of German emissaries now on their way from Berlin to the western front. but the time that must elapse before there is decision as to their acceptance or rejection prOb- ably will depend largely upon the powers with which the German dele gation has been clothed.
 There is nothing here to indicate just what authority has been con- ferred upon these representatives of the German government. The off, cial announcement from Berlin via London, today said;
 "A German delegation to conclude an armistice and take up peace nego- tiations has left for the western front" but the language employed may or may not be significant.
 Officials here have assumed that the German representatives after se- curing the terms from Marshal Foch, will transmit them by telegraph or convoy them personally to the German high command in the field, for it is understood to be the purpose in the present case, as was done with Aus tria, Bulgara and Turkey, to deal with the armistice as purely military is- sue between the military commands
 Should this procedure be followed it is regarded here as probable that several days may elapse while the German general staff. now nominally at least subordinate to the civil gov. can be no argument as to the terms ernment, can consider the conditions no matter how harsh they may ap- laid down and reach a decision. There pear to the Germans. The only course left to Germany is to accept or reject them. Meantime Marsha FOch is expected to continue the pressure on the Teutonic armies which now threatens their safety along 200 mile front
 No announcement has yet been made when the terms of the armistice will be made public. Their publication very probably will be delayed unti Germany has reached a decision witf regard to their acceptance or rejec tion.

Associated Press War Summary


 Deserted by all her former allies, her great military machine in the pro- coss of destruction by the onslaughts n, inc entente allied armies; her dream of world domination rudely dis spated, Germany begs for a cessa- lion of hostilities, notwithstanding inc hard terms she knows she must pay.
 Scarcely had the decision of the sn- preme war council at Versailles with regard to cessation of hostilities with Germany been made public than Germany was speeding emissaries to Fooh to learn what the commander iu.chief's terms are to be.
 Meantime in France and Flanders the enemy forces are being given no rest. Along the whole battle line in France the British, French and Amer ican troops have made further ma terial gains and reclaimed numerous towns and villages. Thousands more of Germans have been taken prisoner on all the sectors under attack. Gen. efally the enemy forces are in slow retreat, but the nevertheless at some points they are offering sharp resist ance, particularly against the Ameri- cans in the Mouse river region and the French in the old Argonne sec- tor The latest gains of the British on the western side of the battle front have been productive of the capture of several towns of great importance, the Eaining of more territory east of the Scheldt canal, where the Canadians are on the attack and in the taking of several railway functions of high stragetic value.
 Along the Mouse the Americans continue steadily to push forward ana at last accounts were almost at lne gates of Sedan, dominating pcnt on the German life of communi- canon to the east.

In Sight of Town. fighting within sight of Sedan, famous American troops this afternoon were for the great battle fought in the F:ancO-German war in 1870. From the hills in the region of Chenery and NIaizoncelle, where the Americans, according to last accounts. were advancing despite stubborn re- Isistance, the buildings of Sedan are in plain view. being about six miles iaway.
 American troops continued the ad vance today between the Mouse and the Bar, moving forward at one place more than three miles.
 Driven From Banks.
 On the west bank of the Mouse the Germans have been driven entirely from the Bois de Hospice, two miles north of Beaumont

 l The Americans reached Chemery, 1-2 miles south-southwest of Sedan. East of Chemery the American lines now run through Maisoncelle, Flaba, and the Bois du Fond de Limon. The village of Beaumont where there are more than 400 French civ ilians, is the target of the Germans. All last night they deluged Beaumont with poison gas.
 Another formidable enemy defense line, on which the Germans planned to make stand was smashed by the Americans late Tuesday when the l captured the town of Betanne, in the bend of the Mouse, south of Mouzen. From Betanne, the line extends along the Mouse through Rouilly and Thor and eastward.
 This line was part of the new de- fense along the Mouse from Stenay nOrthward to Sedan. An elaborate trench system recently had been com pleted, along with numerous wire en- tanglements, concrete dugouts and miles of concrete emplacements for heavy machine guns. In some places the9 e9emplacements were only fifteen yards. apart
 It's footing we'll established east of the Mouse, the American army has forced its way along both banks of the river until tonight it is within | six miles of Sedan.
 Notwithstanding the fact that the Germans have put in fresh divisions, the American and French troops con- tihue their grim advances. Marva- ux. north of the Freya line, and east of Dun, was reached this afternoon, and operations about the heights tn the east of Sedan are well under way. !
