Tuesday en- route home. Flanked by
vessels to guide, she turned her nose
toward the capes, where she may wait

The channel for a hundred yards or
more had been dragged, lest the sub

mines. The managers apparently
feared that some of the passing al

Englehart, Ont, Aug. FOREST
fires raging in northern Ontario are
believed to have resulted in the LOSE
of from $50 to 200 lives. Other scores
OF persons have been injured and it is
feared many of them may die. Sew
eral small towns have been wiped out
by the flames that have ragged for for
ty-eight hours. Reports thus far re-
ceived show that fifty-seven perished
at Nushka, French Canadian settle
ment, and thirty-four at Matheson.
Cochrane has eighteen dead and thir-
ty-four injured; Iroquois Falls fif-
teen dead and many injured and Ra-
more fifteen dead. The number
killed at Porcupine Junction is not
known, but the entire town was de-
stroyed except the railroad station.
The death list will be materially in
creased. it is feared, by victims in
outlying districts. There are ap-
that many prospectors have been
trapped at Tashota and Kowash.
One farmer and his ten children
are known to have been burned. while
the mans wife was vainly seeking aid
to check the onrushing flames.

score of frame buildings and stores.
suffered worst.
1t had been threatened for several
days, but the residents fingered in
the hope they might save their homes.
They waited too long. however, and
walls of fire cut off escape.
A nearby lake in whicn they found
refuge saved many residents OF Coch-
rane on the line of the Temiskaming
and Northern Ontario railway. Only
two streets in the town were saved.
Thirty-four bodies are lying on the
platform OF the railroad station at
Matheson. The station and two
houses are the only two buildings
standing. Ramore. small settle
ment. was wiped out.
The flames were checked at Tim
mons after seventeen houses had been
burned. Only the sawmill was de.
stroyed at South Porcupine.
All that remains of Iroquois Falls
are the ruins of the great paper mill
and one store. Refugees without food
or clothing are pouring into the larger
towns south of the burned district. A
large number have arrived here and
are being sent to Cobal. and Pailey-
bury.

New York, Aug. Property loss
estimated at s25,0O,0O0 was caused by
the series of terrific explosions OF
ammunition awaiting shipment to the
entente allies and stored on Black
Tom island small strip of land jut-
ting into New York bay off Jersey
City, early Sunday morning. The loss
of life still is problematical. 1t now
appears, however, that the earlier re-
ports overestimated the number of
killed. This can not be determined
definitely until there has been oppor-
tunity to check up the workmen en-
ployed on the island and on boats
moored nearby. Three are known to
be dead and at least five more are
missing. Scores of persons were in
jured, some of them probably NOR

felt in five states, began with con
tinuous rapid fire of small shells.
