MICHIGAN TOWNS
ARE THREATENED
BY FOREST FIRES
Residents of Trout Lake Send
Out Appeal for Res
cue Trains.

Sault Ste. Marie, Mich, July l.
A dozen upper Michigan towns
Tuesday night are threatened with
destruction by forest fires that have
been raging throughout the terri
tory west of here all day.
Trout Lake, Raco, Brimley, Seney,
Wellers, Strongs, Ozark, Gilchrist,
Johnsonburg and Dick are reported
to be fighting the flames which are
being driven before high wind.
Residents of Trout Lake sent out
an appeal for special trains to rescue
them. The message was the last
word received from that village and
said the flames were within mile
of the town on two sides.
At Raco the flames were menacing
the village on all sides and roaring
along through the surrounding coun-
try practically unchecked. The rail-
road telegrapher there reported the
people fleeing the village, which he
said was certain to be destroyed.
Trainmen reaching here from the
fire-swept district were unable to
give a detailed account of conditions.
The whole region, they say, is swept
by smoke and at no time were they
able to see more than 100 yards
ahead.
The fires have already destroyed
millions of feet of lamber. There
has been no rain in this section for
three weeks and efforts to fight the
flames are almost futile.

Stars and Stripes
Quoted by Hitchcock
in Support Of League

Washington, July 1.-Debate on
the league of nations was resumed
today in the senate with Senator
Hitchcock, Nebraska, reading sew
eral editorials supporting it from
the Stars and Stripes. the official
newspaper of the A. E. F., in sup
port of his argument that popular
sentiment favored the league. He
said he believed the editorial re-
fected the sentiment of American
soldiers abroad.
Several senators asked what con-
troll was exercised over the Stars
and Stripes by the war department.
Senator Poindexter, republican,
Washington. said he had been in
formed that sit was not permitted
to discuss controversial political
subjects involving policies of the
administration"
Senator Hitchcock declared that
there was no such control and Sena-
tor Gerry. democrat, Rhode Island,
asserted that he was informed dur
ing his recent visit to Paris that the
Stars and Stripes exercised "practi-
cally complete independence" in its
editorial policy.

Washington, July l.-(Special
Telegram. Fort Crook having
passed to the jurisdiction of the
central department at Chicago with
the arrival of the 10th infantry from
Fort Riley and the air ma
terial formerly at Fort Crook hav-
ing been transferred to Fort Omaha
under War department orders, the
chief of the air service and his as
sistants are now at work planning
to make Fort Omaha the center for
balloon experimental work for the
entire army.
The plan is greatly to increase the
activities at Fort Omaha, but until
the War department is advised Of
the various items carried in the mil
itary appropriation bill, which was
agreed upon in conference late
Tuesday, the enlarged activities at
Fort Omaha will be speculative, al
though officers in the air service
stated that Fort Omaha was to be
made the big balloon center of the
country.
Five balloon companies are now
stationed at Fort Omaha, the 18th,

WILSON FAILED
AT PEACE TABLE,
ROME PAPER SAYS
Returns to America, Leaving
Behind Him Chaos of
Disorder"

Rome, July 1.--Critical comment
on President Wilson's sojourn in
Europe is made by the Tribuna, in
discussing his return to the United
States.
Seven months ago an immense
halo of popularity surrounded Pres
ident Wilson," the Tribuna editor
ial says. Europe awaited him as
the Messiah in a new era of history,
while he now leaves amidst almost
general indifference. appearing as an
intruder in our continental history,
our European civilization and our
sacred ideals.
1T has been psychological
drama. as President Wilson believes,
perhaps sincerely, that he incarnated
not only the aspirations of Ameri-
ca, but also the aspirations of
Europe. Instead, President Wilson,
despite his pure intentions, failed
of his object. He returns to Amer
ica, leaving behind him a chaos of
disorder, passions and disillusions,
since he could not conclude peace
according to his principles, but made
a compromise brought about by the
overbearing attitude of the strong
toward the weak"

U. u.S.LAYS Down
Law TO MEXICO
over MURDER
Asks Immediate Punishment
for Those Responsible for
Killing John W. Corral,
American Citizen.

Washington, July 1.-Urgent rep
reservations have been made to the
Mexican government for the punish
ment of those responsible for the
murder of John w. Corrall, an
American citizen, the maltreatment
of his wife and the attempted MUIR
der of his son at their ranch near
Colonia, u miles north of Tampico,
the State department announced.
Instructions have been sent to
both the American embassy at Mex
ioo City and the American consulate
at Tampico to urge immediate cap
ture and punishment of the perpe-
traitors of the outrage and protec-
ton for other Americans in the dis
trict.
Six days after the attack on the
Corrall family, the paymaster of the
Gulf Refining company, an Ameri-
can concern, was robbed of $4,000
in gold, which he was taking to the
old fields from Tampico. The pay
master, it was learned, had notified
the Mexican authorities at Tampico,
as required by law, of the date and
time of his departure, the amount of
money he was to take and the route
he would use in reaching the oil
fields. The territory through which
he passed is entirely controlled by
Carranza forces.
Other reports to the State depart
ment said on the day following the
payroll robbery soldiers wearing
Carranza military uniforms raided
the camp of the National Oil COM
pany in the Panuco field near Tam
pico and robbed all the employees of
their money and watches and jewel

u. S. Issues Warning
to Soviet Russia
Against Repriisals

Washington, July 1.-The Rus
sian soviet government was warned
by the United States today in a
message sent through the American
legation at Stockholm that reprisals
against American citizens in Russia
would arouse intense sentiment in
the United States against the soviet
heads.
The warning was contained in a
cab1egram sent by Acting Secretary
of State Philips in reply to pro-
test from Soviet Foreign Minister
Tchitcherin against the reported ar
rest of L. A. c. K. Martins, the soviet
representative in New York. The
protest intimated that reprisals
might be taken against Americans in

Bills TotaIIing More Than
Five Billion Dollars.

Washington, July 1.-Congress
adjourned at midnight until next
Tuesday, July 8, after enacting all
appropriation bills needed by gov
ernment agencies for the new fiscal
year.

republican leaders to complete the
necessary appropriation measures,
but only after hours of delay which
at times almost threatened to block
their plans.
The final bill, the army measure,
carrying $775,0O0,000; the sundry
civil bill, carrying s605,000,0o0; the
District of Columbia's annual budg-
ct of $15,0O00OO. and a deficiency
measure of $25,O0O0OO, all were
completed and will be sent to the
White House. President Wilson
will be unable to approve the bills
until he returns. but no embarrass-
ment to government departments
owing to delay in making funds
available is anticipated.
Five Billion Appropriated.
With enactment of the final bills,
including measures passed at the
last session of congress, more than
$5000,000,000 has been appropriated
for federal needs during the new
year which began Tuesday. Con-
gress also has cancelled more than
$4,000 of war appropriations pre-
viously authorized.
The recess of congress was ac-
cotnplished after many delays with
controversies centered upon the
sundry civil and army measures.
The recess gives congress a rest
over Fourth of July holiday and
when it returns it is expected that
President Wilson will submit the
treaty negotiated with Germany.
Legislation for more strict en-
forcement of wartime prohibition
also is to be taken up Immediately
upon reconvening.
