FORESTFIRERAZE WHGAN LLAGE Wisconsin Towns Hurt by| Flames Which Left Farm Homes in Ashes. By the Associated Press. MILWAUKEE, Wis, April 13— Forest fires, tne scourge of thnber land settlements, smouldered and flared menacingly today in sections of North- ern Wisconsin and upper Michigan. Mames which devastated the village of Wallace, Mich., and razed countless | segregated farm buildings had abated with the dying breath of a strong, weering wind. Hundreds of acres of ash-covered soil, the debris of homes end the smoke-filled atmosphere re- piained, however, as an incentive for vigilance. ressed int> service at the first on- slaught of the flames, forest rangers and volunteers patrolled the fire- infested areas which extended over part of what was once Wisconsin's forestry domain. Hundreds of prop- | erty owners maintained an all-night vigil- to combat new and unexpected outbreaks of fire. Timber slashings, made highly in- | flammable by tinder dryness occa- | sioned by lack of snow and Spring rains, furnished the fuel which car- ried the fires in all directions. In Wallace, north of Menominee, Mich., only three buildings remained standing. All in the village of 150 persons were forced to flee without their belongings. North of Wallace the village of Ingalls was isolated when communication lines were destroyed and motorists were unable to traverse roads leading to the village because of fires. Oconto and Lena, Wis, were among cities which suffered from the fire that razed Wallace. One dwelling in Oconto | was burned and at Lena the telephone | exchange and three other buildings were destroyed. Peshtigo, hemmed in for a time, escaped a repetition of the forest fire disaster of 1871, when 1,000 persons lost their lives. One of the worst fires in the his- tory of Forest County raged to within a mile and half mile, respectively, of the cities of Crandon and Laona. Flames that towered 150 feet in the air swooped toward Crandon until back- firing operations temporarily blocked the flames on an expanse of cultivated soil on the west side of the city. ARTS CLUB PROGRAM. EMBERS and guests of the Arts Club in attendance to the musical program arranged by the Hospitality Committee last | night heard perhaps one of the most entertaining and delightful recitals of the club's season. The pro- gram was short, and as one of the embers anncunced at_the conclusion, “To my great surprise I find that this 1s the end of the evening,” end pre- vailed upon the artists to sing two en- cores. Maxine Snavely, soprano, opened this all too short recital with “A. Pastoral,” by Veracini. Miss Snavely possesses & fine soprano voice and sang with feel- ing. Though it i3 difficult to choose the one number liked best, they loudly ap- plauded each of her songs, there geemed to be a bit more at the con- clusion of Vuillermoz's ‘‘Jardin &’Amour.” In this Miss Snavely seemed to lose all reserve and brought a rich- ness in her voice hitherto unheard during the evening. ‘The second half of the program was given over to, Pollio Jarmon, con- tralto, and here, too, was found an effective voice. Leoncavallo’s “Mat- tinata,” as sung by Mrs. Jarmon, Was delightfully done, the audience showing especial appreciation. Mrs. Jarmon brought her part of the entertainment to a close with a Negro spiritual, “Sometimes,” composed by & Washing- ton pianist, Mildred Kolk Schultz. An- other number, composed by Mrs. Schultz and sung in encore by Mrs. Jarmon, was a spiritual, “I Yield” It was well re- ceived by the audience. A duet, Miss Snavely and Mrs. Jar- mon, came in response to repeated re- quests. It was “La Coeru du Ma Mie,” by Dalcroze, and was the culmination of a fine. evening. J.N. H. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTO! From the Front Row Reviews and News of Washington's Theaters. “The Broadway Girls” At the Gayety, Not Bad. GALAXY of burlesque stars have come to town with a& new and sparkling wit that differs from the average burlesque entertainment in that it is not “questionable,” and it may be found at the Gayety this week in a re- vue entitled “The Broadway Girls.” In- cluded in the cast are Reggie White, Jean Willlams and Clyde Bates. Bates’ ocmedfilclmu the appeal of wit of the scintillating kind, with never & hint of the objectionable. Working with Bates is Charlie Smith, who has b2en seen on other Washington stages, with his perennial “Ain’t T a Hound?” remark that always “registers.” Jean Willlams and Reggie White of the feminine side dring a smack of the usual entertainment that is so suc- cessfully avoided by Clyde Bates. Their dance numbers and a few specialty songs, however, wers given approval by the ringside fans who occupy the same seats each week. Two added attractions, the best seen for some tmme, are John Quigg, biack- face accordion player, and Freddy James, clarinetist. ~ Quigg plays old favorites, songs that never fail to rouse enthusiasm, and Joe Delano, juvenile singer; Earl Root, Bille La Monte, pe- tite dancer, and the Craig sisters com- plete the bill. B.W. BERLIN PROBES CHARGE REDS SOLD FORMULAE Russian Embassy Treats Report of Deal by Dye Workers as “Inventon.” By the Associated Press. BERLIN, April 13.—Police continued vesterday investigation into charges that Communist workers in the plants of the German dye trust had sold manu- facturing formulae to Russian interests, Thirteen men arrested in connection with the charges have said they acted merely in the general interest of Com- munism. There has been no evidence to connect the alleged sale with mem- bers of the Russian Trades Delegation now in Germany. At the Soviet embassy here the re- port of the sale of trade secrets to Soviet interests were treated as an “in- | W methods,” a responsible official said. “We are building up our industries by legally acquired means. None of our departments is in any way concerned | in this affair.” Poland to List Foreign Workers.
