Fire Early Yesterday Total ly Destroys Huge Build
 ing at Wichita.
THREE OF INJURED
 EXPECTED TO DIE
Flames Starting in Boiler Room Gain Great Headway Before Discovery by Passer-by, and Cause Property
 Loss of $25O,0O0.

Wichita, Kan, Ded 22.-The criti cal condition of three persons injured in the Kansas Masonic home fire early today caused fear tonight that the death list of five will be in- creased.
 Two of the injured are children Charles l.. Smucker, aged seven, and John Moore, three-while the third is Mrs. Ettele Stewart, matron of the children's department of the home. All were suffocated by smoke before they could be rescued from the build ing, and they were revived with diff ficulty.
 Smudker is the son of the late Lou Smucker, well-known newspaper man and one time managing editor of the Wichita Eagle.
 It has been impossible yet to search thoroughly the ruins of the huge buildings from which three charred bodies were recovered, but hope virtu- all was abandoned tonight that My and Mrs. Frank Ferris, both nearly 80 years of age, will be found among the survivors scattered among many homes in Wichita. The three bodies found today were burned beyond recognition, but it is considered cer- tain that they are those of Jesse T. Brown 80. Mrs. J. T. Brown, aged 60 years, and Miss Gertrude Weigle, aged 20. Miss Wegle was to have been married Christmas Day. ApproXi- mately 25 of the rescued are under the care of physicians;
 Loss About $25O,0OO.
 The home was the property of the Masonic Lodge of Kansas. The chapel, valued at $1O,O00. and the hos pital. valued at $9,OOO, were the only buildings saved. The loss was esti- mated at $250,O0O.
 The fire started in the boiler room and had gained great headway before being discovered by passerby.
 Two bodies later were found in the ruins of the home. One was that of q man. Both were so badly burned as to make identifio ation impossible, it was believed.
 Shortly before noon two more bodies were found in the ruins, mak- ing a total of four recovered. All were of adults, but were not identi- fled. They were in the basement in eight inches of water. The bodies were found directly under rooms that had been occupied by Mir. and Mrs. Jesse. T, Brown of Wichita, and MT. and Mrs. Frank Ferris of Atchison, Kan.
 Members of the board of trustees of the institution arrived here to- night, and will confer tomorrow re garding the erection of temporary buildings to house the dependents de- prived of home by the fire.

Associated Press Summary)
 Except in Northern Dobrudja, where the troops of the central powers con- tinue to drive the Russians and Ru- manians toward Bessarabia, there has been little important activity on the battle fronts of Europe.
 The Russian troops in Dobrudja, Petrograd announces, were forced to retire northward under heavy attacks from numerically superior hostile forces.
 Berlin states that the Teutonic army in Dobrudja continues to ad- vance successfully, and announced the capture of 900 Russian soldiers.
 East of Lake Babadagh, Petrograd records that a Russian regiment drove a force of Bulgarians into Lake Ibo- lata. A great many Bulgarians were drowned and 115 were made prison CTS.
 Artillery bombardments continue at various points on the eastern front.
 Berlin reports increased activity es- pecially in the Somme sector and on the east bank of the Mouse, in the Verdun region.
 Berlin reports the breaking of the advanced Russian line northwest of Zalostse, while Petrograd says the Austro-Germans were compelled to retire after occupying some trenches. Some fighting has taken place in the Trotus valley, on the Moldavian frontier and along the Bystritza river in the Carpathians.
 Fl Arish, 90 miles east of the Suez canal, in Egypt, has been captured by British troops. The town has been occupied for two years by the Turks, who had built strong entrenchments around it. The defenders fled from El Arish on the approach of the British army.
