Inflated Metz relief train that went to
the rescue of refugees of forest fires.
1t is doubtful, however, if the names of

Dispatches from many points in the
Michigan fire zone indicate the danger

it is greater than ever.
Conway, Hastings Heights, a summer

smoke so hot that it seems almost ready
to burst into flames, and so sitting that
it is impossible to breathe freely in it..

blistered and working with tireless en-
cry, several hundred men are almost in
a state of collapse in their efforts to
prevent the flames which are sweeping
over thousands of acres of pasture and
timber land from destroying the town
of Lsrue. Unless there is shift in the
wind their efforts will be in vain. Many
head of cattle have been burned. Viii
layers near the fire zone have been
forced to fee.
The fire started from sparks from a
locomotive and the district being in a
parched condition the farmers were un-
able to check the blaze. In the hope OF
checking the flames wide burrows were
plowed around Larue and it is believed
that the flames will not cross them.
