324 HOUSE SEATS HAVE BEEN WON
 BY REPUBLICANS
,....oon More Than Are Needed ''1 Tor Maiority-Five Seats Arc in Doubt-Senate is Still Undecided.

washington. Nov. 6.-With control .f the House of Representatives plae- in tbe hands Of the Republicans by
 mo ;oritv of sixteen and probably .,ro the attention of the country to- a;rbt was centered on contests in .1roo states Michigan, Idaho and yow Nexico-which will decide whe- .her the Democrats shall lose control If the Senate as well.
 At midnight returns from five con ,ressional districts were missing-in Montana. New Mexico and South Da kOta.
 Without them. however, the Repub gcans have won 234 seats in the Hmse of Representatives sixteen rorp than the 21S votes necessary for q majority The Democrats on the fare of these returns had 195 seats md. if the five missing districts were to be conceded to them, they still would lack lS votes of the number necessary to control the House.
 Tonight's returns show plainly that Speaker Clark, instead of being de- ieated as was reported as being like y last night, has been reelected by a substantial majority.
 The contests which will decide the political complexion of the Senate were very close As the Senate stands without a decision in these contests, there are i6 Democrats and AZ Re publicans.
 In Michiean the race between Hen Y Ford and Truman II. Newberry was so close that it was said an off, dal count might be required to decide the winner Both parties were claim ing the seat. In New Mexico, where Republicans are claiming the election of Senator Fall by q majority of 1000 not a single county had reported com plete returns.
 In Idaho, where 74,000 votes of an estimated total of 95,000 had been counted, Senator Nugent, the Demo- cratic candidate for reelection, was leading Frank R. Gooding, Republi- can candidate, by a little more than 800 votes.

YANKEES SWIM
 RIVER IN FACE
 OF DEADLY FIRE
Feat Will Rank as One of the Most Gallant Actions of the War-Great HerOism Shown By Our Boys.

With the American Forces on the Sedan Front, : D. m., Nov 6.-The crossing of the river Mouse and the capture of the town of Dun by the Americans, when it's full details are known, will rank as one of the most gallant feats of the entire operations northwest of Verdun The troops who accomplished it will be entitled to rank as heroes, for their work in mili- tarily crossing the stream was a stra- tegic move of unusual daring The crossing involved the forcing of way over the 160 foot river, half mile wide stretch of mud, and 60 foot canal in the face of frightful enemy fire. It also involved swimming by those who knew how and the pulling of others over ropes. Grappling irons were used to scale the sheer walls of the canal, along which machine gun ners had been posted, under the fire of scores of batteries from the hills adjoining.
 The order to cross the canal came at mid-afternoon Monday. The troops received their grim instructions un- der a sun which was shining for the first time in days, The orders were to send over one brigade first, and if it failed to send another and others, one after the other, if it became ne cessary.
 All the swimmers of the first bri- gade were first singled out and put in the van. It was intended to attack in this way on the theory that the swim mers were less likely to be hit by the Germans owing to the fact that they would be nearly submerged. On the other hand they could carry with then ropes and other paraphernalia for assisting non-swimmers across. The building of pontoon bridges was put off until at least some American clements had crossed the river
 Notwithstanding some losses and the fact that the swimmers could not defend themselves, many of them reached the east bank of the river with lines which were drawn taut across the stream. Others foated on rafts and collapsible canvas boats. These men had less success than the swimmers, because they were better marks for the enemy's rifles and the boats could easily be sunk by bullets even if their occupants were not hit.
 Close to where the swimmers cross ed, the engineers began to throw over pontoon boats and tiny foot bridge The pontoons were destroyed by the enemy, but the bridge remained intact and added materially to the constant ly increasing numbers of men arriv-
 ing on the west bank of the river. Soon after dark the first brigade was across the first barrier and more men were ready to make the journey

CHICOT co. IN DANGER
 FROM SINKING OF LEVEE

Little Rock, Nov 6.-The Southeast Arkansas levee at point two miles from Luna Landing and seven miles north of Lake Village has sunk this week to a depth of ten to fifteen feet for a distance of 250 yards. This en- dangers not only Chicot county, but several other counties in Southeast Arkansas, as well as in Louisiana.
 c. Warfield, president of the levee board, being unable to secure the ne- cessary labor, took up the matter with Gov Trough through Judge E. P. Toney, and requested that 25 state conVicts be sent at once to repair the levee. It is believed that the neces- sary arrangements can be made by Wednesday to secure the labor needed

HINDENBURC AND !. KAISER'S HIDING l. PLACES FOUND
 Field Marshal Spent Time { in Wonderfully Con- structed Dugout. ICOMIC OPERA
 TRENCH SYSTEM
 Electrical Buzzer Told Ap- proach of Airplanes Sig nal for Cover.

4 Spa, Belgium, Dec. 27.---(Corre-, tspondence of The Associated Press)l 1.-The former headquarters of the kaiser and his general staff is dis pIosing some extraordinarily queer eActs these days about the men who engineered the world war. Take for lone, Hindenburg, Germany's super man, around whom reams of poetry have been written disclosing him as g. lfearless Napoleon leading his troops to victory. As a matter of fact, he upent a great deal of time in a won derfully constructed "funk-hole," or dugout, underneath the grounds of his villa here.
 Spa, 1t may be noted, is almost on the German border and so far from where battle lines used to be that it was almost a days journey in a fast motor car to get within sound of the roig guns. The kaiser, too, had sim 1lar hiding place at Neubois, near a, 'comic opera trench system about which he Is said to have paraded for the benefit of motion pictures. At each of their villas there were deli cate electrical instruments which wolld set up furious buzzing when
 
 first sound from this contrivance Hin denbu~g and the, kaiser used to run to shelSer it is reported. People who worked about Hindenburg's establish ment said he was continually running for cover Americas representatives on the international armistice com mission are now occupying linden. ourgs headquarters and they were 1e, derground refuge of the great war rior." The entrance was through the dining room. From there a flight of steps led down to a tiled ante-room, which now serves as a very good pan try for the Americans.
 From the tiled room another flight of steps led down to the real dugout. This was blocked by huge iron door about one inch thick which could be locked from the inside only. Within, it was fastened by a double bolt which would do credit to an American banking establishment.
 The dugout itself was luxuriously equipped. On the floor was heavy Aowered carpet, and a Louis XIV. ta- ble and chairs added to the artistic arrangement. The walls, which were or corrugated iron, Weer painted solid white and the whole place was bril- liantly illuminated by electricity. On @ little table was an electric fan ito keep the marshal cool in summer while an electric stove provided heat in winter. The room was about 14x12 feet and was protected by four to si1 feet of earth above it.
 The emperor's dugout was similar except that it was much deeper under ground and there were two entrances one through the village and the other from the grounds. The main entrance was from the house and led down c long flight of steps.

ARIzONA'S COPPER OUTPUT INCREASE
Gain Over 1917 is 100000 900 lbs.-Administrators
 Get Credit.

Washington, Dec. 27-An increase of Arizona's 1918 copper production of 100, ,000, 900 pounds over 1917.
 Not a shift lost in mine, mill or gmelter from November 1, 1917 to Oc- tober 21, 1918.
 These are the results of the work of the labor administrators appointed for Arizona by the Presidents Media ton Commission in the fall of 1917. as shown in the annual report of Will Ham B. Wilson, Secretary of Labor
 The suitation in Arizona in 1917 was one of the chief causes leading to the appointment of the commission. About 2S per cent of the copper out put of the United States is produced in four copper disctricts of that state. Tn the early summer of 1917 there were widespread strikes in those dis tricts resulting in three months in a i loss of output of 100, 100000 pounds The commission arranged a settlement which provided for final adjustments of all labor disputes and the fixing of wages by the. labor administrators Hywel Davies' and Joseph s. Myers. In a letter to H. L. Kerwin, Director of Labor Adjustment Service, quoted in the Secretary's report, MT. Davies wrote on October 21, 1918, that the commission not only had provided the machinery for accomplishing the splendid results named but also had created a spirit of loyal cooperation That materially simplified the work of the administrators.
 During this. period" says the let ter, "the administrators have handled hundreds of individual and some large collective cases without friction. Yet many of these cases contained expIo- sive possibilities that would have end ed in a suspension or strike if they had occurred prior to the coming of the Presidents Mediation Commission

That none has matured into a strike proves the loyalty of labor to the agreement or award of the commis- sion, Nor has any appeal been made to ShS commission from any interpre- tation or decision made by the admin istrators.
 During this year wage advances ranging from 75 cents to $1 and over per day have been granted or award ed, partly as the result of increased cost of living or due to the necessity of readjusting the relative wages be- tween districts, These changes alse
