the city, burned over more than
10 acres of land in the south
west corner of the Reynolds ad-
dition yesterday afternoon, Car
ried by a heavy wind, the fire
spread rapidly and was only
prevented from igniting several
houses on Fourteenth street by
the quick action of the city fire

wind, prevented the fire from

Floating lsands.

Natural floating Islands sometimes
are seen In the Mississippi and other
rivers, and In lakes. occasionally be.
ing of sufficient size to serve as pas.
tures. They are formed OF earth
which is held together In compact
form by roots interaclng, and they
hoat because they are not heavy
enough nor sufficiently waterlogged to
sink. They have their origin In river
banks which have been torn away and
carried down steam by powerful
current. and sometimes trees remain
growing on these islands. Artificial
floating Islands are made by taking
-afts OF wlckerwork. covering them
%lth reeds, and then placing lake mud
IN top. They are used by some of
the natives of India, Persia and
Thlbet to grow cucumbers melons
and other plants which require II lot
Of water. Artificial islands of this
nature at one time were used In the

Pope. Seeks Light
On Situation Here
In Talk With Cox
Tells Ohioan of Regret That
Elevation to Papal Throne
Makes Him Forego Plans
to Study u. S. i'm Person

ROME, July 80 (By The Associated
Press).-Pope Plus to-day received in
audience James M. Cox, former Gov
ernor of Ohio and Democratic candi-
date for President of the United States
the last campaign. The visit was of
such duration that the Vatican Off
Gals called it "a private interview"
Mr. Cox was accompanied by his son,
James NJ. jr.; Judge Timothy Ansberry,
OF Washington, and Ernest Rice, Of
Dayton
Monsignor Vignale, one of the Pope's
chamberlains, introduced the party
INTO the papal secret antechamper.
Here the Pontitf, who was dressed en-
tlrely in white, the only color shown
being his gold chain holding the pee
toral cross, advanced, stretched out his
arms and bade his kneeling visitors to
rise. He then took them into his study.
Pope Plus expressed pleasure at re-
ceiving Mr.. Cox and his party. He
said he regretted that he had been
unable to satisfy his cherished desire
to visit the United States. He GER
tainly would have crossed the seas to
America had it not been for mis- cleo
ton to the pontiicate. Now he must
be satisfied with studying that "noble,
beloved nation" at distance.
Reference was made by the Pontiff
to the numerous congratulatory mes
sages he received from the United
States on his election. He especially
appreciated those sent by his "col-
Leagues" The Pope referred to
American librarians. who he said had
remembered the many years of his life
spent as librarian, both in Milan and
in Rome.
Mr.. Cox told the Pontiff that on the
occasion of his election as Pope many
persons in America had remarked
when they saw his portrait printed in
the papers, that he looked like an
American. Pope Plus laughed at this
and seemed tremendously pleased.
Pope Plus inquired of Mr.. Cox con-
| rerning the situation in the United
! States. He expressed himself as pro-
foundly interested in the welfare and
progress of the American people. The
interview ended by the Pope imparting
the apostolic benediction. He previ-
ously presented Mr.. Cox with medal,
on one side of which is bust of the
Pope and on the other shepherd.
After the interview Mr.. Cox said he
had been greatly impressed by the
| modesty and simplicity of the Pontiff
his devotion to his Office and his keen
interest in affairs American.
| Mr.. Cox and his party will visit
Venice and Milan, after which they
will motor to Switzerland to study the
organization of the League of Nations

by General O'Duffy, commanding the
national troops in the southwestern
district, records substantial progress

have captured Castle Connell, Cappa-
gore, Pallas and Knockalong, on the
east, and Groom, Bruree and the line
along the Maigne River, from the
Shannon to Charlevile. on the west.
The communication says Killaloch is
not tenable, being covered on three
sides by the Free Staters, and its fall
is inevitable. 1t is now expected that
decisive battle will be fought be-
tween Mallow and Fermoy
General O'Duffy in review of the
situation did not minimize the strength
of the irregulars. He said: "With all
the best fighting material in Munster
among them and considerable ad.
vantage in numbers, unless they are
able to retain Kilmalloch, which seems
impossible, it will be impressive fol
them to retreat from Clonmel. Oul
success in these operations may take
time, but the end is certain"
General O'Duffy seemed to be well
pleased with the progress made by his
troops, and continued: "We cleared
