Steady Drizzle for Is Hours
Relieves Fire Situation
Materially Today
DISTRICT, RANGER WILL
PROBE WHITE PINE FIRE
Aged Woman, Fearing Fires,
Pours Kerosene on Clothing
and Sets Self on Fire
(By United Press)

McGrath, Sept. S.-While a steady
drizzle for Is hours had relieved the
forest fire situation materially today,
there was some danger that strong
east wind early this morning would
cause trouble again. Grass and brush
fires in the Onamia district were said
to have been practically eXtinguished
by rain.
The White Pine-Solana district,
northeast of here, was said to be def
initely out of danger, unless strong
wind fans the flames to new life.
Four men had been sent to the fire
areas n rtheast of Duluth where seri-
GUS fires were reported on the French
River, north of Knife River, and near
Rice Lake. The rain in that section
was not so heavy as further south.
Reports today said these fires had
been brought under control.
District Forest Ranger Swedburg
at Moose Lake said early today that
All investigation would begin imme-
diately as to the origin of the fire
that destroyed the village OF White
Pine Tuesday. He said there was no
question but what 1t was lnceTuisry.
The fire there started in the McGrath
Lumber Mills after the town had been
saved from forest fire. The lum-
Der mills were heavily insured, it was
said.
eve expect to make arrests in
few days." Swedburg told the United
Press. 1--WE have been too busy fight
| ing fires to do any investigating"
"Thc rains last night will hold the
fires down for two or three days: The
east wind today is favorable. Should
the sun come out again, in day or
two we will have another big fight
on. The forest fire season is just be-
ginning" he said, 80,
Military headquarters, here said no
troops would be moved today, unless
the situation was such at noon that
some changes might be warranted.

Mexican Love of Color
Gas Buggies-

Through years of living among
Americans on this side OF the river,
the Mexicans still cling to the old
mode of dressing. Those who have come
over more recently hold still more tenac-
iously to the Mexican dress. The men
wear big brOadbrimmed sombreroc. and
the women still swath their heads in
long filmy mantillas. Where the men
have the financial means to express
themselves in dress, they often wear
trousers with gold braid down the
outside. Bright cOlors are the glory
of the women and girls. Young girls
who have not been influenced by
American ideas Of dress will almost
invariably buy violet pink dress for
gala occasions and street wear.

"Son Of a Cum"

The phrase, "son of a gum" is some

that the expression was originally APP

When purchasing linoleum for the

makes the floor warmer in winter. It
prevents the linoleum from expanding

tread, all advantages worth consider

The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1921-05-04
INVADING GERMANY

Ii is evident from the press reports that neither
Washington nor London looks with much favor
upon the determination Of France to invade Ger
many at all hazards Both Of those capitals know
that it means a vast increase of the war debt. the
temporary suspension of business, or at least sen
Gus interference with it, and that in all probability
it will result in the total disappointment Of French
hopes of substantial immunities from Germany.
While neither in this country nor in Great
Britain is there any sympathy for Germany. nor
any dissent TO the proposition that che should pay
to the utmost, there is a much cooler and more
rational view Of the future. in which Germany
must always be reckohed. than the French seem to
possess.
Among the possibilities underlying the situation
two are of momentous importance. One is that
Germany will fight back. and. though unable to
resist effectively, will yet go down to destruction
in cataclysm which may bury other nations in
the wreck. The other is that the German people.
facing the mpossibty Of restoring their industries.
may embrace the tenets of BosheMsm and star,
a conAagraton which will spread through all Of
Europe. The danger has been described by Ger
mans themselves who are evidently clnging to the
idea as a last resort.
On the other hand. if both those dangers are
avoided, Germanys ability to pay will be weak
ened. There is not chance in the world that
the German people will put forth their best efforts
to pay the reparaGons while foreign nations hold
their custom houses as hostages. The amount
which could be snatched by coup is small as
compared to what France needs. Therefore, at
best, the renewal of The war is likely to lessen
rather than increase the chances Of financial restor-
alton for the French republic.
1t is one Of the times when the world needs
master-somebody who knows what to do and
how to make his will obeyed. Times like the pres
ent usually produce such character but unfor-
tunately, there is certainty to where he will
arise nor which side he will favor.
