FOREST FIRES RAZEI“NOT OUT OF POLITICS FOR GOOD” | ~ BUILDINGS IN PATH Flames Sweeping Mountain Timber Land in Mary Places. Epecial Dispatch to The Star. CUMBERLAND. Md., August 6.—The | destruction of Wills Mountain Ing, on ! Wills Mountain, overlooking Cumber- | land, late yesterday afternoon, having caught from the forest fire that had been spreading over the mountain the | past few days, was complete. The building went so rapidly that neither Angelos H. Bacas of Washington, own- er and manager, nor his wife, could have their clothing. Mrs. Bacas was about to put the dinner on the table and summon Mr. Bacas, who was on the porch, reading a Washington paper, when the building, which was of frame and native stone construction, went up like tinder. | There happened to be no guests at the time, although about 12 had been entertained the previous night. The building, erected more than 30 years ago by the late J. Henry Holzshu, was of striking architecture, with native stone blending artistically in its con- struction, while the interior wood dec- oration was of original design and massive. The building was filled with | antique furniture Cottage Destroyed. The fire also destroyed the cottage of Dr. James T. Johnscn, on the moun- tain top, not far from the inn, which vas occupied by the tenant of Dr. Johnson's farm, which adjoined the inn property. The barn did not burn, but 1t was feared it would be a prey to the flames, as there was a regular inferno all about it. The timber loss will be great. For the first time firefighters are be- ing drafted in Cumberland and taken to the fire sectors in trucks. Several truck loads went out from here last night. A number of young men, includ- ing some boys home from college, have deserted the streets in fear of the draft. North Cumberland abuts on the base of Wills Mountain on the east side and should the fire start down the east side it would endanger porperty in that end of the city. Once going the fire sweeps with almost terrifying rapidity and nothing can stop it. The timber is §0 dry that the flames eat up a large tree in almost an instant. Scores of Men Drafted. The drafting of men by the seore in towns in the Georges Creek section to fight the forest fires, which continue to spread with great rapidity, is in progress. Most all now seem willing to go, and one of the problems is to feed the fighters. This has been met to a great degree by the Red Cross, the Cumber- land Chapter having been appealed to by its Lonaconing branch to furnish sandwiches for the firefighters on Dans Mountain, where the fire has stretched 20 miles and is 6 miles deep. The wom- en of Lonaconing have been sending sandwiches to the fighters for three| days, taking the rations from their own larders. The Red Cross has now taken charge of the work under the manage- ment+of Miss Nellie Sloan of Lonacon- ing, at whose house the food will be prepared daily. Nine hundred men are now engaged in fire fighting, nearly all in the Dans Mountain sector, and it is expected the | number will swell to 1,500 before in- Toads of the flames may be checked. The flames are rolling over the east side of the mountain toward the Potomac River and Crasaptown, near where the plant of the Celenese Corporation of America is located, but this is not con- sidered in danger. Frostburg sent about 80 men to Dans Mountain yesterday and a large volun- teer force representing most every walk in life left in trucks and altomobiles at midnight. Smaller fires ‘are re| from the Frostburg section, one at Mid- lothian requiring the efforts of about 40 men to subdue it; another at Red Hill, above the mine of the Sullivan Bros. Coal Co., where 20 men were sent to reinforce the gang fighting there, and another near Centennial street, Frost- burg, close to the city line, which is be- ing battled by the Frostburg Fire De- partment with the assistance of a large number of boys. ‘The top of Dans Mountain is burning | for miles. The Llewellyn Bros. farms, | Uriah Loar farm and several others are in grave danger. Dans Rock, the noted scenic spot and probably the highest point in Maryland. is completely sur- rounded by fire, The fire wardens are | urging the men to especially help pro tect the farm building Glazed ‘This special price includes thorough ‘arf remodeled. $5 60 Cleaned s Stored cleaning of your coat inside and out, lazing and lYXlrlgl!',d cold storage.

More and more as they see the power they can wield and the fun there is in it, women will get into politics.” 12D, TOHURT I INDAN ROTING Income of Central Provinces $1,725,000 Below Budget Because of Campaign. By the Associated Press. | LONDON, August 6.—A Karachi dis- patch to the London Daily Herald today | said that 12 persons were killed and 150 | others injured during an outbreak of communal rioting at Sukkur, North- western India.

MILITARY PRISONERS GAMBLE WITH TIDE | By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, August 6.—Two military prisoners, awaiting court martials for minor Ofle{ls?!, jumped from the sea ‘wall on Governor's Island yesterday and swam across Buttermilk Channel toward the Brooklyn shore. The pair, Pvts. Edward R. Fowler and ‘William Joostima, were working on the eastern side of the island without a guard. A sentry saw them drop their tools and plunge into the water. He ran to a telephone and notified head- quarters and Brooklyn police. He could see no trace of the men when he returned. The channel is between 400 and 500 yards wide at the spot where they at- tempted their swim and when the tide is running, as it was, when they jumped in, there is a strong current.
