(Continued From First Page.) which they fought, attacking the fire from the sides. At_times yesterday and last night the flames, & solid mass along & path sometimes ' two miles wide, swept through the timber as fast as & man could run. It would have been suicide for a fire fighter to get into the path of the flames. Front Is Narrowed. The front along which the fight was being waged today had narrowed to about half a mile, and the fire was not eating so fast into the dry underbrush in front of it. The fire fighters were rapidly closing in on the flames from the sides and were able to whip out little fires caused by sparks flying be- fore the big fire. From Washington came word this morning that there is a possibility that there will be thunder showers this after~ noon, and land owners whose property is in the path of the fire to the north of hers were anxiously scanning the skies for indications that the elements will take a hand in the fight. Firefighters in the mountains today declared that a few huckleberries which will grow on the mountainsides about here as the result of the fire are to blame for the blaze. They expressed the opinion that berry pickers, who earn pin money in the late Summer from the berries, set fire to the woods to help the berry crop. Police are making a thor- %ugh investigation of the origin of the res. Large fires were reported burning on the Eastern Shore of Maryland and in Anne Arundel and Calvert Counties this morning, but the territory near Wash- ington, menaced by several big forest fires over the week end, was free of flames, One of the largest fires was in prog- ress between Glenburnie and Annapolis, which cut through miles of dry growth between the Severn and Magothy Riv- ers. The fire burned over a 6-mile area quickly, and hundreds of volun- teers were fighting to save houses and farm buildings. At noon no property loss had been reported. District Forester Walter J. Quick, jr., and a large corps of men have been battling the fires day and night. Quick has not been home since Saturday. $250,000 Loss Estimated. On the Eastern Shore one of the worst fires in history was reported literally burning itself out after sweeping over 3,000 acres. Damage to the woodland was placed at $250,000. The Muirkirk tower, just off the Bal- timore Boulevard, reported the serious fires that raged in Prince Georges and Montgomery Counties over the week end were extinguished. Not a column of smoke was visible this morning, the towerman said. At Brandywine tower two small brush fires were reported, but ?nth were quickly brought under con- rol. From Cumberland, Md., came reports that the fires that have been raging in the Allegany and Garrett Countles have been put under control. was falling in the fire area this morn- ing and considerably aiding the fire- fighters. ‘The fires which have been burning on Martin and Tussey Mountains for several days were reported practically extinguished. About 150 men have been fighting these fires. SCORES OF FIRES IN EAST. South Jersey Blazes Burn Over 62,000 Acres of Woods. Reports brought in from all sections of the East by the Associated Press today told of forest fires in scores ot communities, offering stubborn resist- ance to armies of firefighters. Rain in Ocean County, N. J.,, where brush fires have constituted the great- est menace to property, today gave firefighters of that area renewed hope in their battle. Ocean County has been the chief sufferer from the fires, although in a score of places in South- ern New Jersey fires are raging and threatening communities. Thousands of soldiers, Marines and private citi- zens have been fighting the fires since Sunday. State Fire Warden Leonidas Coyles today said 109 buildings have been destroyed and 62,000 acres of woods and farm land burned over. Rain quenched a forest fire in Po- land, W. Va., which for a time threat- ened to ignite oil storage tanks. Fires were reported also in Pennsylvania, New York and in New England States. In Rhode Island reinforced crews of firefighters have been ordered out to bills unless contracted by myself person- ally. MRS.

On Mount Riga, the meet- ing point for Massachusetts, Connecti- cut and New York State lines, 500 men are fighting a blaze which already has laid waste to about 20 square miles of timber land. Nashua, N. H., where 1,500 were made homeless by fires which swept a section 5f the city Sunday, today was making provisions to care for its citizens. Everywhere in the Eastern States farmers and timber land owners were anxiously looking for rain, The East's rainfall for the past month and a half has been less than half the normal pre- cipitation for this time of the year, and the dry brush and grass offers a menace in _every section.

Four were small, but there was a brisk fire burning on a hillside north- east of the airways beacon at Perry- ville, Md.. and a half mile west of the Baltimore-Philadelphia Highway, he reported. There was an even larger fire burning a large area of the Chesa- peake Bay shoreline area 8 miles east of the first airways beacon south of Baltimore, he reported. All fire reports now are handled formally over the transport line’s tele- type system, which gives instantaneous transmission to all stations along the line.
