MENACED
BY FOREST FIRE

MISSOULA, MONT, Aug. 30.-De-
struction of a stand Of seven million
feet of timber valued at many thous-
ands of dollars is threatened today by
a forest fire on the Lower South Fork
of the Flathead River. Several crews
of fire fighters have been sent to the
scene, in an effort to keep the flames
from spreading into that region.
With fires raging in the district
about, Deep Creek, Doris Creek and
Pioneer Ridge, this stand Of timber is
menaced from two sides and several
hundred fire fighters are building fire
lines to keep the flames from spread
ing to the south. The forest endanger-
ed is among the largest in the state
and is estimated by forest service men
to be the most valuable, owing to the
proximity to the navigable F1athead
River and because of the unusually
large trees.

FOR AIR SIGN

aviators flying over Richmond between
Dayton to Indianapolis. according to
action Of the board of public works
Thursday.
The board ordered an ordinance
drafted appropriating $500 for the
erection of the light The ordinance
will come before city council for final
action Thursday night. The light will
cost approximately $400, according to
the estimates of the board.

city hall, however, has not been def
nitely selected for the location of the
light.

OPERATIONS ON FLANDERS
FRONT OF MINOR NATURE
(By Associated Press.)

10y A8SOCSoSOO IbSoosj
Military operations on the Franco
Belgian front continued to be OF a
minor nature only, in contrast with
the stirring activities Of last week at
Verdun and in Flanders.
Today's official report from Paris
shows the situation along the French
line to be one Of temporary deadlock
with nothing more important taking
place than artillery combats, trench
raids, and infantry operations OF only
local significance.
In this last class were two German
attacks last night in the Champagne
region east of Teton, which the French
repulsed and similar attempts of the
Germans to push back French posts IN
the Verdun region north Of Vaux-les-
Palameix and penetrate the lines
north of Caurieres wood. All these
were completely checked as was the
German thrust in the Aisne region
near Checreux.
Guns Busy at verdun.
There was active artillery fighting
in the Verdun region and similar spir-
tied activities at points in the Aisne
sector.
Although there was slight increase
in the number OF British vessels sunk
last week as shown by last nights re-
ports from London, French shipping
suffered less from submarine attacks
than in the preceding week. The
French loss totaled four vessels as

The sinking by submarine OF an
Amar;can vessel the Schooner Laura
