Prairie Fire
Is Raging Over
Wide Territory
Motorist and Family Rescued
By Alliance Firemen-Sev-
eral Thousand Acres
Devastated.

Alliance, Neb., Sept. 2S.-(Special.)
One Of the worst prairie fires ii,
this section in many years Is raging
over wide territory, two miles
south Of Alliance. Several hundred
mn, equipped with shovels, we:
sacks and other fire-fighting appa-
ratus are working desperately to
check the flames, which are famed
by an exceedingly high wind. Az
noon the flames had swept over sew
eral thousand acres of prairie land,
destroying fences and everything in
its path.
Forty members of the Alliance vol
unteer fire department are at work
with fire shovels, while scores Of
automobile loads CT men from every
direction rushed to the scene.
The prairie grass is very dry and
burned like tinder. The flames are
sweeping over the territory at the
rate of several miles an hour over
a path nearly two miles wide.
Many ranch houses were threatened
by the blaze, but the fire-fighters
prevented any of them catching.
Several teams with plows were en-
ployed to plow fire guards about
the buildings and this was all that
saved them from destruction.
An automobile in which man,
woman and three children were rid
ing, was caught in the path of the
flames as they swept across high
way. They were rescued by group
Of firemen, who pushed the car to
safety, after the occupants had been
blinded and nearly suffocated by the
smoke.
The fire is believed to have start
ed from sparks from freight train
which passed a short time before the
fire was discovered.

Because he believes that mar
riage of the right sort is the best
thing that can happen to a
worthy ex-seryice man." the Rev.
John w. Inzer, national chaplain
of the American Legion, has Of
fered to marry without cost all
legion men who visit the third
annual national convention of the
organization at Kansas City,
October 81, November and 2.
The legion chaplain's offer was
made in a letter received to-day
by Albert e. Hutchings, conven-
tion executive committe chair
man. In furtherance of the Rev.
Inzer's project, convention Off
cials announced that all expenses
for marriage licenses would be
paid by the convention executive
committee.
The Rev. Inzer, who is pastor
of the First Baptist church at
Chattanooga, Tenn, explains his
offer in the following letter:
Recently a splendid young ex-
service man from an Eastern city
came here with his bride to be
married by the national chaplain.

thought has come to some Of us
that there are a number of fellows
who might like to be married at

the booze and the extra supply Of

IN OIL QUESTION
Note to Britain on Mesopo-
tamia Rights Held Up.

WASHINGTON, April 9-The Amer
lean note in reply to a communication
Of Feb. % from Great Britain on the
subject of the Mesopotamia mandate,
has not yet been dispatched, it was said
at the State Department today. Con-
siderable speculation has been aroused by
this information, as it is known that a
draft Of the American reply has been on
Secretary Hughes desk for several days.
In explanation of the delay in trans
hitting the document It was stated that
developments have interviewed which make
it inadvisable to forward the note at all
as there IS thought to be a possibility
Of a satisfactory understanding being
arrived at without the necessity Of a
formal announcement OF the American
position.
There has been no change in the
attitude OF this government on the ques-
ton of monopoly of the oil resources
OF Mesopotamia and Palestine, however,
and should the conversations understood
now to be in progress fail to produce the
results hoped for, the note viii he
despatched. In the event of that action
being taken. the tone Of the communion
tion will be To less than that which
characterized this governments state
ment Of its position with regard to the
Island OF zap.
The United States, It IS understood,
viii insist upon the fundamental con-
tention which It has advanced with re-
gard to all inundated territory. that
mandates resulted from a war in which
America contributed materially to the
victory and that this government there
fore must have a voice in the disposition
Of inundated territory.
