By the Associated Press
WnnliliiKton, Nov. 7.
Control of tlio Fnltcd Stages Senate
tilt remained In doubt early today on
' the faco of returns from threo States
where contests between tho Democratic
and Republican candidates continued
close, as tho count progressed. Tho
Republicans further Increased their ma
jority In tho House, ot Representatives
when two of tho three reats frdfti South
Dakota were conceded lo them. Three
seats, one each In South Dakota, New
Mexico and Montana are ptlll In doubt.
The standing of tho two parties In th6
next House, without the threo missing
districts. Is: Republicans, 23G and Dem
ocrats 105, a Republican majority of 41.
In tho Senato without tho threo doubt
ful seats, thero are forty-seen Repub
lican!) and forty-six Democrats.
Newberry Leads Cord
Of the Senate races yet to be decided.
Truman If. Newberry, Republican, ap
peared to ho maintaining his lead over
Henry Ford, the Democratic candidate
In Michigan. With :'-'2 precincts to hear
from, Newberry was leading lila op
ponent by 4093 votes. The Michigan
State Republican committee claimed
Nowberry's election, declaring that tho
remaining districts are normally Re
publican, Supporters of Senator Vail, of Now
Mexico, still claim his election on tho
I basis of scattering returns. As thiuo
I reports conm from unofficial sources tho
contest continued lo be placed In the
doubtful class.
In Idaho Frank II. Gooding was mak
ing deep Inroads Into the majority cred
ited to Senator John I Nugent, Demo
crat. Karly today Nugent's lead was
only 446, with 85.000 tf the State's es
timated vote of 95,000 counted.
Latest returns show plainly that
Speaker Clark, Instead of being de
feated has been re-clcctcd by a sub
stantial majority.
Senate Control Important
With the House firmly in the hands
ot tho Republicans, control of tho
Senate is moro important than ever to
1 the Democratic Administration. If tho
t Administration can retain control of
the Senato It can In a large measure
check the activities of a Republican
, House. It is doubly Important to tho
National Administration because of the
part which tho Constitution assigns to
the Senato In tho ratification of tho
peace treaties which will end tho world
war.
In the genato reposes the prerogative
' of ratifying any treaties which the Pres-
fj'ddent may make. Republicans mado ono
7. (of their campaign nrgumepts on tho
i (Contention inai a iicuuuwvuii cnaiw
Slshould bo elected to participate In tho
work of making peace. Tho Democratic
Administration, on tho other hand, con
tends that tho negotiation of treaties Is
wholly tho function of tho executive
brunch and that tho Senate's part Is to
ratify them.
With the senatorial returns still In
doubt from Mlchlgap, Idaho and New
Mexico, the figures showed that the
Republicans had lost one that of Sen
ator Weeks, of Massachusetts while
the Democrats had lost six.
Tho Senators who will bo retired aro
Shafroth. of Colorado; Saulsbury, of
Delaarew; Lewis, of Illinois; Thompson,
ru M'linm et Ilui.nnrt nnrl
Kolils, of New Hampshire.

PAYROLL BOOST
OF 10 PER CENT
BEFORE COUNCILS
All City Employes Receiv
ing $2000 or Less
to Benefit
TO DATE KlldM JULY 1
Firemen and Police Included
Among 111,500 Sharers
in Measure
City employes receiving less than
12000 a year will get a 10 per cent raise
In salary if Councils pass a bill which
Chairman Oaffney, of tho Finance Com
mittee, will Introduce at this afternoon's
sess-lon.
As this Is an Administration measure,
making r.ood a promise long held out to
the city's employes. It is considered
pertain It will pass.
The salary Increase will ncneut lii.ouu
city employes, Including firemen, police
men and clerks in the various municipal
departments. It will cost Philadelphia
J752.000.
One of the features of the measure
is that It Is retroactive. If passed, the
Increase wll date from July 1 last, and
tho city employes receiving It will get
10 per cent on their salarlcB for the
last four months In a lump siua
This 10 per cent ralso suggested by
Chairman Gaffney is not Intended ns a
permanent solution ot tho salary prob
lem as it anccis cny wmm.-i. .-..
week tho Finance Commltteo will con
sider the budget for the new year, and
It Is promised that provision will bo
made In It for better permanent sal
aries for the city's servants.
Money to Come Vrom Loan
One of the problems to be solved by
Councils In regard to this. 10 per cent
temporary Increase Is where to get the
money to pay the hlgheralarles. Chair
man Gaffney proposes to negotiate a
loan of the amount required out of the
temporary loan of $1,200,000 authorized
bv Councils at the e'ose of the summer
session for emergency purposes. This
loan has not been drawn upon as ct.
At first Chairman Gaffney had planned
to pay tho higher salaries out ot the un
expended balance from various city de
partments, amounting to Jl.2oG.000.
However, bo found that demands had
already been made for transfers of
$1,234,000 of this surplus, which would
leave only about $21,000 avallablo for
tho salary Increase.
Chairman Gaffney climates that the
temporary 'loan which he has recom
mended can easily be repaid 'early next
year from the city's surplus receipts for
1918.
Does Not Mectl)emnnd
For pionths tho less well-paid em
ployes of tho city have been demanding
increased salaries, hiiu ii
request has been postponed from time
to time. The firemen and policemen es
pecially have been active In tijing to
get a salary boost. The 10 per cent
suggested bv Chairman ciaffney will not
meet their demands, The llremcn have
asked for an increase that would amount
to about IB per cent or their present
salaries, and the policemen want a
str.ilght rate of fifty cents a day more
than they aro now getting. Under tho
provisions of the act which Chairman
Daffney will Introduco this nfternoon
captains and lieutenants In the pollco
bureau will get a flat Icreasa ot $100 a
ear "and a like Increase will be given,
battalion chiefs In tho bureau of lire.
In every other caso the Increaso will bo
reckoned on tho percentage basis. ,
liremrn llellrve Plan lair
James M. Simlster, head of Local
No. 22, International Association of Fire
lighters, said In discussing the Uicreaso:
"I believe those figures are fair In
view of the present financial condition of
tho city. The firemen aro all anxious,
however, to hae their pay put on a
basis corresponding to that of firemen
In other titles, and we nil hope that
councils can glvo us whla wo ask for
In 1919. I believe that tho men will
besatlsfled with this small increase for
the last few months of this year."

Tile Herman high command has order,
ed the withdrawal of tho Third and
Fifth Herman armies across the Steuse
on the front of the American First army.
Fresh troops are being thrown In to
cover this retiring movement from .the
region of Stenay northward to beyond
Sedan, and to hold back tlio Americans
as long as possible.
A new Herman position is to bo taken
up jilong tlie crest of hills 011 the other
side of the river.
Prisoners taken In the Moselle region
say that a Herman retirement has been
ordered also from In front ijf the Amer
ican Second army.
With our troops less than six miles
away from Sedan and moving north, that
city Is now burning. Our artillery has
not tired on the city, nor have xve
bombed It. because of the civilians. The
flames, therefore, are of Herman origin.
The large town of Mouznn, where we
fought on the outskirts this afternoon
burst Into flames an hour ago. the boclie
having fired It as he left other towns
across the Meuse burning.
The success of the American First
army Is dex eloping Tust Into one of the
greatest victories of the xvar. For six
successlxo days we haxe driven ahead
since dawn, and when tho sun went
down last evening our troops were within
fight of Sedan, which lies six miles
across low flung hills from where the
triumphant doughboys rest north o
Chemcry. They are on their wny w
write a new story of Sedan which win
call blessed the name of u city Francs
has hated to remember since the dark
davs of 1871.
Iluunlng across the battlefield from
the left to right, wa have pushed beyond
Cliemery. have reached Ilaucourt, passou
Pnurron and nre on tho outskirts ot
Mouzon.
Oiih must say that our task east of the
river xvas tougher than that on the west.
On the west we have open country, and
that means an American victory every
time. We have the best of positions, and
that clinches victory Haft of the river
the Germans haxe prepared defenses
with trenches and vire and havo the
