DEATH TOLL FROM FIRES TOTALS |OOO;;
 MANY HOMELESS
Relatives of Victims Wander Between Long Rows of Bodies in M0rgue Seek
 ing Loved Ones

Moose Lake. Minn., October 14.-Men and women of the Moose Lake district of Mime sota, driven by fire from their homes, penniless, many of them wearing clothing fur nished by charitable relief workers, tonight took up the search for their dead, which throughout the burned sections may total 1000.
 Barred by the military authorities from leaving the city, they wandered between long lines of bodies in the improyised morgues here, searching for loved ones who have not been heard from since the forest fires laid waste this section of Minnesota and portion of northern Wisconsin four days ago Motor trucks brought in more and more bodies throughout the night.
 During the past 24 hours the charred bodies of 300 victims have been found in the charred No Mans Land which before the fire formed the smiling shores
 
 Adjutant General Rhinow tonight esti- mated that the number of dead in the Moose Lake and Kettle river regions alon might reach 800. There are believed be nearly 800 dead in the adjoining I gions. |
 Improvised hospitals here, and the pei Ig manent institutions at Duluth are cal rh ing for the needs of the injured refugees, many of whom are in a critical condi- ton.
 RESCUE FORCE DOUBLED
 The force of rescue workers will be doubled tomorrow, General Rhinow said. Up to this time it has been impossible to search the great acres of farm land laid waste by the fire and though the search is expected to result in finding more victims, many persons also are be- lieved to have been drowned in lakes in which they took refuge. Many refu- gees here, in a serious condition from exposure, said they stood hours in ice cold water while the flames ragged above them.
 Rural residents, refugees say, were given but a moments warning before the fiery hurricane swept down on them. A pail of smoke mad hung over the countryside for hours, and a majority believed the holocaust to be merely usual autumn fires.
 Officials in charge of relief work still are unable to make an accurate esti- mate of the material damage. It was said, however, that in this district alone 50 square miles has been stripped clean of timber, crops, live stock and human habitation
 No further danger Is anticipated, al- though the conflagration continues in isolated areas. Fire south and southwest of Cass lake, driven by a high wind, was said to be gaining tonight with the city directly in the path of the flames, but it was believed efforts of the fra fighters would prevent the fire from at. raining serious proportions.

 MENACE STILL ALIVE
 Discussing Germanys submarine men. ace, Sir Eric declared that while ..mos+ men say today that it is a thing of the past, it is the British admiralty's onin- ion that the menace is one that comes and goes, and in fact today it is not dead.
 Indeed, it is greater today than it ever was, he warned. That is to say. tbA effort IS greater than it ever was think now we are approaching a point where submarine warfare is again the weakest front of the allance'
 In opening his speech Sir Erie said that. while he must resist the tempta- - tion to allude to the present political situation, there were two things which he Was convinced had not changed
 One is our absolute loyalty to those nations who are associated with us,, he said, and the other is our determination to continue the war and not be diverted from our purpose until we have secured the only peace which could justify all this terrible suffering and destruction which has been and is being brought about by the iniquity of our common en- emy.
 MUST NOT RELAX Of one thing I am clear. We must not relax the muscles of our fighting arm nor our war effort in any antici- patton of an early peace. To do so would be the surest way to render any discus sions which may take place prolonged and less satisfactory"
