lTOul rage OAeJ this section of Minnesota and a DOT tiOn of northern Wisconsin four days ago. Motor trucks arriving at fire quent intervals brought in more and more bodies, and the sad vigil of the watchers continued throughout the night.
 During the last twenty-four
 hours the bodies of 300 victims
 have been found in the charred
 No Mans Land which before the
 fire formed the smiling shores of
 Moose Lake and Kettle river. The
 majority of the, bodies, some of
 which were taken to Duluth, were
 so badly charred that identifica-
 ton will be difficult. SearcneTs
 have been on duty for ten hours
 but there has been as yet no slack
 ening of the pace at which the
 bodies are brought in. Adjutant
 General Rhinow tonight estimated
 that the number of dead in the
 Moose Lake and Kettle river re-
 gions alone might reach 500.
 These, with the other dead from
 adjoining regions, will, it is be-
 lieved. swell the list of dead to
 nearly the 1000 mark.
 ImprOvised hospitals here, and the permanent institutions at Duluth, are caring for thousands of more CT less injured refugees many of whom are in a critical condition.
 The force of rescue workers will be doubled tomorrow, General Rhinow said. Up to this time only the main roads have been explored, it has been impossible to search the great areas of land laid waste by the fire and that search is expected to result in the finding of hundreds more victims in the ruins of their destroyed homes Many persons, also are believed to have been drowned in lakes in which they took refuge from the terrific heat, thinking the fire might pass them by. Many refugees here, in a serious condition from exposure. said they stood for hours in ice cold wa. ter while the flames ragged above them

 While British and American sea forces in all theaters of B7val fight
 ng are a homogeneous navy, Sir Eric added. the safety of lines of com munication should not be taken for granted. "Germany is not beaten, is not nearly beaten. and in some re- spects is stronger than ever she was, he warned, regarding the enemy's naval situation. Should the German naval policy be changed by force of circumstances, or by spirit of ad- venture which it has so far failed to show, it will be met and if 1t means to fight that fight will be a naval Armageddon in which your magnifi- cent battieships with the grand fleet will, l am sure, take a worthy and part"
 Four tons of explosives are dropped every day on Bruges and Zeebrugge, Sir Eric asserted, so that these ports are of no value to the Germans. who, according to his latest information are removing the bases and the ma chinery they had installed there. In surface fighting. he added, the allies have the mastery in the North sea, in the Adriatic and in the Mediter- ranean. Sir Eric added that dan gerous mine fields have been laid by cur submarines and fast, offensive right into the mouth of the Ems behind Helgoland," the op- eration being performed,' night after night"

SENATE APPLAUDS
 REPLY Of WILSON

WASHINGTON, Oct 14.-Senators } were so well pleased with President l Wilson's reply to Germany peace l proffer that they broke all precedents , and applauded vigorously after the ,. text or it had been read by Senator
 Hitchcock, chairman of the foreign re-
 lations committee. Later senate lead
 res, both democratic and republicans,
 in formal statements praised the reply
 as the forerunner of an unconditional
 surrender by the central powers. | Reading Of the nhte, which was | transmitted to the senate through the
 press gallery, came as the climax to day of debate during which senators demanded that there be no peace nego- tiations until Germany had surrendered
 internationally. Before the debate ended word reached the senate that the presidents reply would be made public at o'clock and it was Ge-l cided to postpone adjournment and await it.
 Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, the republican leader, who has vigorously criticised the presidents course in di- recting a note of inquiry to Germany after receipt of the peace offer, was among the first senators to issue a public statement commenting the pres ldent's reply.
 q am very glad and genuinely pleased" said Senator Lodge, that the president takes the ground which he does. Of course, everything he says about the conduct of the Ger man government, the German army and the German navy is absolutely true. Such conduct is quite suffici- ent in itself to put an end to any talk about an armistice.
 The presidents last clause in which | he fin substance, declines to carry on any discussion with the German gov ernment is very satisfactory and will, am sure, bring a great sense of re- lief to the American people who, l am certain, desire an unconditional surrender won by the armies in the field"
 Senator Hitchcock said:
 My view is that the president has removed all doubts that have been expressed as to the wisdom of his course and provided against all the dangers that critics have seen in the policies he has been pursuing.
 He lays great stress on the fact that the conditions to be met will mean the downfall of military autoc- racy of Germany"
 'The note comes up to the public in every way" said sen ator Martin, of Virginia, the demo cratic leader.
 Other senators who issued state ments approving the reply included, Senators WadsWorth of New York, and New of Indiana, republicans, and Pitt man, Nevada; Thomas, Colorado; Texas and Overman, North Carolina, democrats.

 St. Louis Globe-Democrat: The president has not misinterpreted the spirit of the nation in his reply. He could not have said less and remain in accord with the American people; it was unnecessary Lo have said more.
 Baltimore Sun: The presidents s answer leaves Iae door open to the German people; if they will kick out the kaiser, cease their atrocities and then accept such terms as the allied governments will grant. It invites peace, but only on those conditions.
