Safe major ities for the Republicans in both hous es of congress were claimed by the Republican national committee on the face of returns early today. These returns, Secretary James B. Reynolds said, show 50 Republican senators and 230 Republican repre sentatives elected, with good pros pects for larger gains. With returns from yesterday's el ection in Catawba county practically jcompiete, the Republicans won every i office, but With decTPP.RP( Trminritips ara j ly ind'eations were that Mr. Aber 1 nethy had polled the largest vote of - j any 'individual on the Demjocriafcc 1 ticket. The Republican majority was cut from between 250 to 280 to be if J00 it appeared. In the ninth congressional district. R-pressntative E. Yates Webb was ; returned by a landslide vote over Lhas. A.

Fig ures complied last night gave the Republicans an average majority of 18n in the whole county. Reports to the sheriff's office at Newton last night indicated a Re publican majority of between 235 and 250, however, and complete returns may increase or decrease this, All estimates were based on returns for individual candidates.

SCHOOL TO OPEN T On next Monday morning if con ditions continue to improve the local schools will open. It is exceedingly important that all students be present the first day and continue in regular attendance for the remainder of the school year.

Dr. Hill was 55 years old and is sur- vived by a wife and one son, Frank Armfieid Hill, who is in the United States merchant marines an aged father also survives. m NY NEGRO Ememy Beatem Om Wide Frosilt By the Associates Press. Forced to a realiaztion of impending disaster by the progress of the British southeast of Valenciennes and of the French and Americans south of Sedan, Germany's shattered armies are being forced back over a large front. So rapid is the retirement that it is impossible to determine the exact location of the 85 miles of front. British forces have cleaned un Mormal forest and threaten to drive a wedge between Mons and Maubeuge. To the south the French launched an attack that has forced the enemy back from three to four miles, while east of the" Meuse the Americaus have moved still nearer the Sedan Longuyon railroad. DOUBT TODAY jj.-T :t-i. ri'-fo-j j jvL-as. By the Associated Press. New Ycrk, Nov. 6. Early today, more than 24 hours after yesterday's balloting began, it was not apparent whether the Democrats or Republi cans would control the next congress. Party managers on both sides pre dicted they would have substantial working majorities, but the returns showed between 50 and 75 congress ional districts unreported and the line up so close as to make the re suit in doubt. Some well knoAvn figures in public life will be retired or will be given a close call. Prominent among these are Sena tor Weeks the junior Republican sen ator from Massachusetts, defeated by former Governor Walsh, Demo crat; Senator Lewis of Illinois, the Democratic whip, defeated by Repre sentative Medill McCormick; Senator ' au'SDUry of Delaware, president pro iventucKy, cnairman of the house com- mittee on appropriations. Wlth the result incomplete Henry Ford was running behind Truman H. Newberry, former assistant secretary of the navy, Republican candidate for senator. Joseph H. Folk, former governor of Missouri, Democratic candidate, to succeed the late Senator Stone, was defeated by Judge Spencer, Republi can. Out of 40 senators being elected 28 had been accounted for early today. IS BY GERMAN SAILORS By the Associated Press, Amsterdam, Nov. 5. Severe riot ing occurred at Kiel Sunday after a meeting of sailors and workmen had been addressed by an independent So cialist. Mutinous sailors disarmed a mili tary police and made their way to the military prison with the intention of liberating men confined. there for insubord!nation. The military guards, who were pelted with stones, fired on the sailors and killed 29. The sailors-killed the commander of the guard. GO DEMOCRATIC While definite reports were lacking this .afternoon early Jrfetums .from Burke and Lincoln counties indicated Democratic majorities. It was said the Democrats increased their vote 7n Lincoln and Morganton reported late last night that Burke was safe for the Deirocrats. Caldwell coun- ty went Democratic by majorities es- tlmated at from 200 to 225, an in- crease over two years ago. There is evidence that the Germans are not carrying out the orderly re treat that marked their retirement from the Marne and Somme salients. Vast quantities of munitions which could be moved easily under ordinary circumstances were left behind. To the north Ghent is closely in vested by the French, British and Belgian troops. The fighting there is apparently between German rear guards, for civilians are said to be close behind the Queen Elizabeth watched flie beginning of the fight from the beginning. The line of the Scheldt no longer is any protect ing the enemy anywhere. American forces north of Verdun have crossed the Meuse at three places and have gained ground on the east- side of the river.. - MUTINY REPORTED
