new ENGLAND STATES
SWEPT BY FOREST FIRES

Boston, July 15.-The fires which
have been burning for days in the
Maine forests continued today and to-
night in many districts of that state
while similar fires in New Hampshire,
Vermont, Rhode Island and Massachu-
sets, increased by thousands of dol
lars the total of the damage. The
historic Plymouth, in this state, was
endangered by a woods fire, which
ran SO close to the outskirts of the
town, sparks from the burning terri
tory dropping into the main streets
thickly. The entire fire fighting force
of the town was kept busy all day
patrolling and fighting the flames.
Near the village of Washington, R.
l., a large acreage Of timber and small
growth was burned over and a saw
mill and farm house ives destroyed by
the most extensive forest blaze that
this state has known for several years.
Forest fires were also reported in
New Hampshire and Vermont. wild
land sections, but most of them were
apparently we'll in hand tonight
though none will be extinguished COM
pletely until heavy rain sets in.
The situation In Maine showed no
improvement tonight. In scores of
towns the red glare of burning for
ests was plainly visible and the atmos-
phere was clouded densely with
smoke Many new fires broke out
during the day.

NORMAL BUSINESS CONDITIONS

Cleveland, July 14.-Indications are
multiplying in all branches OF trade
that q return OF normal business con-

tion for all classes of freight with the
possible exception OF steel and iron.
A prominent railway onicial said that
while this branch OF business contin-
ned far below normal It no doubt
largely resulted from the fact that the
railroad companies themselves were
not buying material. This state Of af-
