Mortality in tho Senate

w THIN less than month the Senate of
w the United States has lost three dis
tnguishcd members by death. Francis G.
Newlands, OF Nevada; James H. Brady, of
Idaho, and William Hughes, OF New Jersey,
have passed away. No single month in re-
cent years has witnessed so high deaf rate
in this legislative body or among Senators of
middle age. Senators Hughes and Brady
had scarcely reached fifty years and Senator
Ncwlands had just passed his siXtieth birth
day
These vacancies occurring at time when
the political balance of the Senate is so nearly
even. there is necessarily deep political in
teTeat in the party affiliations Of the men
who step into the unoccupied seats Sena-
tors Ncwlands and Hughes were Democrats
Senator Brady was a Republican. A Demo-
crat has been named by appointment to sue
coed Senator Newlands and another by ap-
pointment to succeed Senator Brady
Republican, no doubt will be appointed by
the Republican Governor of New jersey to
succeed Senator Hughes. For the time be-
ing, therefore. the political lineup of the
Senate will remain unchanged
inc people OF the three States affected will
be called upon TO elect their Senator's and it
remains 10 be seen whether the outcome
leaves the ajority and tho minority with
I their present strength. When the present
Congress was elected there we're fifty-four
Democrats and forty-two Republicans in the
Senate This majority however, has been
more apparent than real There is groun
OF Dcmocratic Senator'S who have failed to
stand solldly with their party, with the result
that in more than one instance the admin
istration has barely retained control of the
upper branch OF Congress.
Onc-third OF the entire Senate membership
is to be elected this fall. Considerably more
democratic seats will become vacant than
Republican This means that a net gain of
seven Republican Senators will ovcrturn the
present majority. Unless there is a political
revolution, however, it is scarcely to be en-
ncctcd that the Senate will change it's political
complexion Even so, recurring deaths in
that body remind the majority that their
, position is becoming more precarious with
each untimcly vacancy

Washington, April 19.-The

will be half oyer tomorrow,
and indications are that half of
the $3,O00,000.000 minimum to-
tai will be subscribed. This
record, although better than

marks.
The total reported tonight to head
quarters here was $1,204, 714,250, an
addition of $114,979, $50 within the
last day, covering subscriptions re-
ceived at banks together with the
initial 5 per cent payment up to the
close of business last night.
An encouraging element of the figures
to date is the belief that many millions
have been pledged without being Sc
cured by these first payments, and con-
sequently have not been counted by
banks. Reports tonight from the Attain

All Reports of Fighting in
Flanders and France Are
Distinctly Cheering
TROOPS
ARE HURRYING OVER
Henry Ford May Be Placed
at Head of Airplane
Construction

W a hin g,ton, April 10.
Events on the western battle
front are shaping themselves,
officers here believe, not only
for defeat Of the German drive,
but for a counter offensive by
General Foch s armies that
may open the road to an allied
military victory.
A wave of optimism swept today
over not only American officials, but
also the military men of the allied
missions in Washington. Some of
them think it will be some days yet
before General Foch can complete his
troop dispositions for great thrust
at the enemy, but others look for
word that he has struck at any time.
The news from the battle front was
distinctly cheering. The British lines
in the hard-stricken Flanders front
were holding firmly. French rein
fcrcoments had arrived there, making
practically certain that the German
drive toward the channel ports from
that direction has been defeated
There were many indications today
of increased pressure toward getting
American troops overseas in time to
snare fully in the battles this summer
upon which may rest the final issue
