NEW ACREAGE IS
THREATENED. BY
RAGING FLAMES
Forest Fire Toll Still
Mounting AS Hundreds
Fight Red Demon

san FRANCISCO, Aug. IA. U.D
-Four forest and brush fires III
northern and central California to-
day assumed critical proportions
once more.
Three of the blazes had been burn
ing since Monday and the fourth
began early Tuesday.
Sections of the Santa Barbara,
Sequoia and Plumas forests were
being blackened and flames were
rushing along a three mile front in
Amador county.
The situation threatened to be-
come as critical as last week, when
approximately 100 fires, one-third
Of them incendiary, were fought by
thousands of men.
Estimates to state and federal
headquarters of fire wardens here
were that more than 10000 acres
had been burned over by the four
new fires and more than 700 men
were occupied on the fire lines.
Receiving major attention was the
conflagration in the Santa Barbara
forest. Famed by a stiff north
wind, it has swept over 5000 acres
of land and can not be controlled
for several days, rangers reported.
Three hundred fire fighters were
stationed near the Ceiling Hot
Springs in the Sequoia National
Forest where 1000 acres of timber
and brush had been burned over.
Five miles north of Blairsden in
the Plumas National Forest, fire
was quelled and then flared up
again until 900 acres were smould-
cring.
PORTLAND, Ore, Aug. IA. U.P
-Belching flames defied more than
5000 firefighters on numerous fire
lines in Oregon and Washington
forests today.
A roaring blaze swept down the
slopes of Dollar mountain in the
Colville forest in Washington. near
the Canadian border. 1t leaped q
four mile gorge Tuesday and ate
into a fine stand of timber near
sherman Creek.
Three hundred Canadian soldiers
joined several hundred other fire
fighters in struggle to halt the
conflagration that already had
blackened 10000 acres and destroy
ed several million feet of pine.
Five major fires near Spokane
filled the air with such dense smoke
that airplane scouts were unable to
estimate the extent of the damage.
Forty men had a narrow escape
from being burned to death when a
sudden shift in the wind sent the
fire in the Chelan National Forest
racing toward camp. f. p. Flynn,
Portland road engineer, was taken
to a Wenatchee hospital suffering
from burns and smoke-choked
lungs after he had rushed his men
cut of camp through the only safe
route.
In Oregon the fire in the Grande
Ronde district still was uncontroll-
ed as it raced through 1900 acres
of jungle like country.

HOPE OF
SUCCESS
AT HAGUE.
Report Progress Being
Made On Demands OF
British Delegates.
RECESS is TAKEN
Lamont Refuses Invita-
tiOn OF French To At
tend Conference.
By FREDERICK KUH

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
THE HAGUE, aug. "A. U.P)--
Definite progress on negotiating
Great Britain's demands, which
threatened to upset The Hague
reparations conference and cndang-
err the Owen y. Young plan, was
attained by the delegates today.
The finance commission, after a
brief session, adjourned until Sat,
urday, during which time it was
agreed that private conversations
among the delegations would con-
tinue.
The commission agreed that at
Saturdays meeting, sub-commis-
sions would be appointed to deal
with the separate problems involv.
cd in putting the Young plan into
effect, and to take up the questions
raised by Phillip Snowden, British
chancellor Of the exchcquer.
With Premier Aristidc BRAND of
France making concessions to the
British desire for immediate
evacuation Of the Rbineland, il was
believed sufficient concessions
could be made by the British to en-
able the other allies to accept their
proposals, and at the same time
satisfy the British demand for a
greater share of reparations pay
ments and reduction of payments
in kind.
Lamont Credited
The progress made was attributed
in part 10 the strictly unofficial ad
vice of Thomas w. Lamont, the
American financicr, who conferred
in England Saturday with Premier
j. Ramsey Macdonald.
Lamont has been invited to come
TO The Hague and give the dele.
gates the benefit of his counsel. He
WAS expected to accept, but adViees
from London quoted him rs saying
he did not intend to come. rs he
could not see that il would serve
any useful purpose.
II was disclosed definitely, how
ever. that :. Parker Gilbert, the
American agent general of repara.
tions under the Dawes plan would
arrive here next week in his capa-
city rs trustee of the Dawes loan.
Some quarters here believed that
if the British problems are entrust'
ed to sub.committecs on Saturday,
the chief delegates would leave The
Hague for the time being, indicating
that a protracted discussion was cX-
Pccted.
LONDON, Aug. IA. U.P)-Thomas
W. Lamont, American banker and
international financial expert, Will
not go to The Hague to take part
in the rcparations conference, he
told the United Press today.
Lamont said he had been invited
