North Adams, Mass, April 27.-Blaz-

the towns of ClarlSsburg and Williams
town and in the outskirts OF North
Adams kept more than 400 fire fighters
busy tonight. While the flames showed
little sign of dying out tonight, despite
three days fight against them, actual
danger to settlement was still remote
The situation was at its worse in
Clarksburg. where the outlying houses
We're mile and half from the front
of the advancing flames. But at the
rate at which the fires have burned the
last few days and with the wind to-
night almost passive, there is no i'm
mediate danger to the settlements.
1t vas estimated this forenoon that
fully 1000 acres of land have been
burned ever. Tie fire started in VIII
Jamestown three days ago and swept
in this direction, threatening the de-
structinn of buildings in tie western
section OF this city. During the night
numerous small fires broke out in thai
district. but were quickly eXtinguished
Iully half of the area burned over
MAS covered with valuable standing
ssisine and hemiock timber. which, il
is feared. will be total loss. AL
though no houses had been destroyed
up 10 mid forenoon today. a number
of summer cottages on the mountain
side were still threatened, and the vol
unteer firemen, worn out by three days
OF ineessant work, We're attempting To
guard these buildings
Many of the fire fighters have re-
ceived minor burns and hurts.
Men returning to this city this aft
ernoon stated that they were max
ing no Roadway in fighting fire. which
is sweeping rapidly towards the Yer
mont state lire They estimated that
more than 600 acres additional of val
liable timber lands has been burned
over since dawn.
The fire was raging this afternoon
on the outskirts OF this city and in
Williamstown and Clarks5urg. Dur
ing the forenoon the firemen dug
trenches, set numerous backfires and
felled many trees to stay the advance
of the flames but their efforts were
futile
Another fire believed to have been
set by sparks from the main con-
fiagration, started shortly after noon
in the Natural Bridge section of this
city and fears We're expressed for the
safety of nearby farm buildings
1t was the general belief here this
afternoon that only heavy down.
