Tokyo. May n N-Japanese resi- dents of 1outAsrn Sashalien Island fought today for their lives and their homes against forest fires which were believed to have killed 100 persons and burned more than 1000 houses.
 Dispatches to newspapers. scant in details, led to fears that there had been major disaster. Communica- tions on the island were badly crip- pied. Railways were blocked. and telegraphs and telephones were down. and only meager reports were obtainabl ble.
 A dispatch to the newspaper Asahi Shimbun, from Maokahama. . village near Esutori. said Maoka- hama had been wiped out and that there were 100 dead and 1000 houses burned. The newspaper Nichi said 30 bodies had been recov- cred.
 A shift in the wind carried the fires away from Esutori and toward Maokahama. Survivors were suffer- ing from hunger and exposure with their sole provisions scorched pota- toes from the fields or burned over farms,
 "Disastrous iires have swept throughout the island" the dispatch said. The ikies are black with smoke obliterating the sun" It added that the blaze was spreading from Esutori toward Ohira. two miles to the south, where fighters were trying desperately to save | coal mine.
