SAVED FROM FIRES BY HEROIC EFRORT Prospectors Are Driven Into " Lake by Flames; Rains Aid Fighting Crews Winnipeg, Man., Aug. 14.—(AP) —Forest fires in this province, On- tario to the east and British Colum- bia on the west continued their men- ace today despite rains in some sec- tions of the affected area. Accounts of narrow escapes and desperate courage against over- whelming odds have come out of the forest fire districts where forestry department rangers and settlers, numbering hundreds, have waged battle with the flames. Heroic work by fire fighters, aided by a last minute change in the wind and a heavy downpour of rain, saved the settlement of Little Grand Rap- ids from being wiped out. Two prospectors, Rudolph Botch- ar and Joseph Dubois, arrived at The Pas, Man., to tell how, when fire swept down on their camp site, they tock refuge in Herb lake, seven miles away, until the flames passed. Rain, which began in the region of Sioux Lookout, Ont., was reported by rangers to be checking the fires in that region which have burned for two months. In the Sturgeon| Lake area, however, fires flared anew threatening many settlers’ homes. DISTRICT RATING BASIS OF 1.

PLANS TO END WAR BY TRIMING NAVY PL, SAYS EXPERT Parity of Factories Producing Armaments Is Essential Factor in Peace ‘Williamstown, Mass., Aug. 14—(AP) —The world is approaching the prob- lem of disarmament from the wrong direction in attempting to reach the solution through naval parity, Count Giovanni Elia of Rome, Italian naval éxpert, and inventor of a depth bomb, told members of the institute of poli- tics today. Parity of factories producing arma- ments is the essential factor to be considered,-he declared. “It is neces- sary to do everything possible to avoid a new war and naval disarmament tends toward this end,” he said, “but to talk of naval parity is absurd, for naval parity means nothing whatso- ever. “The ideal of establishing an ab- solute naval parity is unattainable, I ot Great Britain and the United States should be’ made absolutely equal, there would still remain the vastly superior industrial power, and the unassailable geographical posi- tion of the United States. “Even if the two great fleets of Great Britain and the United States should reach parity, some new inven- railroad board. Not that the state board is excited about the freight rates on wi. | Considering the value of the product, | the freight rate as prescribed by the | federal body is not regarded as ex- | cessive. What the state board is in- | terested in is the principle involved in the Interstate Commerce commis- sion’s ruling dividing North Dakota | into districts for rate-making pur- poses. The state board contends that it is the wrong principle to apply in mak- ing freight rates for this and they do not want to permit it to be estab- lished even in @ minor case. + “The freight rate on butter isn't of prime importanee,” explained..E..M. Hendricks, traffic: expert for the board. “What the board objects to is the principle. If the railreads can establish the theory of dividing the + state in @ case of minor importance it gives them a foothold to seek appli- cation of the same principle in a managed to do that it would cost the people of t:2 state millions of dol- lars.” In its application for a reopening of the case, the board makes it plain that it is not attacking the rates fixed in the butter case but the rul- ing dividing the state into districts. In the case in question wine state would be divided on a line following the Missouri river to Bismarck, thence to Minot and the Canadian border. Because of lack of the funds and the relative unimportance of the case to the people of the state as a whole, the state board was not represented when the butter case was argued to the Interstate Commerce commission and presented no evidence bearing on the question. It is their hope, how- ever, to disprove the contentions of the railroads by the railroad’s own tigui : |overbalanced. The United States tion might be perfected at any mo- ment which would destroy the whole arrangement. ‘If a war should come the United States could build cruisers so much more rapidly than Great Britain that any existing parity would be quickly within an exceedingly short time, could bring a fleet of cruisers into being which could sweep the British cargo boats from the seas, and starve her population; whereas she herself is so large, and has such inexhaustible natural resources within her own borders that she could last an unde- termined length of time without dis- comfort.” George Young, labor member of the British parliament, discussing post war constitutional changes in Europe, said that the strength of the.

REPUBLICANS HOPE TO COMPLETE WORK OF TARIFF REVISION With Rates on Hides, Leather and Shoes Out of the Way, Sundries Come Next Washington, Aug. 14.—()—Having completed their revision of the house | tates on hides, leathers and shoes, the tariff drafting Republicans of the | Senate finance committee hoped to- | day to complete work speedily on the sundries schedule of the bill and | clear the way for action on the high- ly controversial sugar schedule. After obtaining the desired addi- tional information on the views of organized producers, the committec- men have decided to support the | house action in placing a duty of 10 ‘per cent on imported hides and 20 | per cent on shoes, both of which are now admitted without imposts. They agreed, however, on a num- ber of changes in the house rates on various types of leather, also on the free list at present, raising some and reducing others. The upward re- visions included proposals to place a rate of 14 per cent on leathers to be used for harness or saddlery, and 15 per cent on sole and belting leath- er, instead of 12's per cent as voted by the house, together with 17'2 in- stead of 15 per cent on side, upper, patent and calf or kip skin leathers for footwear. The house rate of 25 per cent on leather obtained from animals not ef the bovine species, on the other hand, would be reduced to 17's per cent, and that of 30 per cent on ornamental Icather to 20 per cent. Another reduction was voted on men’s leather gloves, making the rate $5.50 a dozen instead of $6.50. The $5.50 rate approved by the house on women's leather gloves was re- tained, and,so was its 20 per cent rate on leather for upholstery, col- lars, bags, cases, gloves, garments and straps. With that problem out of the way, the committeemen took cognizance of the smuggling problem and de- cided to transfer rought and uncut diamonds from the dutiable to the County Commissions May Place Memorials Where They Please| County commissioners may locate war memorials wherever they please and courts will not interfere, even if it appears that the decision of the county board is unpopular with a majority of citizens of the county, the supreme court held today in @ case appealed from Divide county. Jack Gehrke, George Lofgren, Jack Hines, Goodwin Swenson and Fred Jennings lost in the district court an attempt to restrain the Divide county board from constructing a war memorial at Noonan and appealed to the supreme court. The court held that, where the law vests discretion in the county board, the courts will not interfere with the board's exercise of that discretion. In the Divide county case Noonan offered to give $5,000 in cash for the construction of the war memorial at that place, to dig the basement of the memorial, which is to be a com- munity hall, and to keep the build- ing in repair. Inducements offered by Noonan cannot be interpreted as bribes offered to the county commis- sion to influence its decision as to the location of the memorial, the court held. AMPHIBIAN FORGED DOWN IN LAKE ERIE Co-Pilot Is Missing After Plane Nosedives; Woman Pas- senger Picked Up Cleveland, O..

Lupold said that the sea was mod- erately rough when the plane was forced down. He said he and Kasper swam around the plane, holding up Mrs. Little. Later the Denmark picked Lupold up, and he thought Kasper was taken aboard the Midland King along with the woman. The mechanic expressed belief that Kasper had been picked up by one of the numerous small craft which reached the scene and his rescue had not been reported.
