unseasonai dry spell continues.
Forecasters held no hope for rain
in New Jersey where the destruc-
ton was greatest. Other blackenei
areas were in New York state, Mas
sachusetts, West Virginia, Pennsyl-
vania and Maryland.
Two deaths and 13 minor casual
ties were attributed indirectly to
the fires. George Knight OF Cen
tralia, w. Va, was killed While
working with a fighting crew
at the Braxton county game refuge.
Vsezolod Glazoff, So, former Rus
sian army officer, died OF a heart
attack induced by excitement over
fire at his home in Lakewood, N
J.
New Jersey officials said the fires
Sunday, racing along carpets OF
dry leaves in the timberlands, were
the most disastrous in the states
history. They counted As outbreaks
which destroyed $4,000 acres OF
prime woodland.
Fresh fires broke out Monday in
a New Jersey area described as the
"Tinder Box comprising 100000
acres of pineland and 5000 acres
of combustible marsh and grass
lands which extends from Sandy
Hook to Cape May. They were fam

Brilliant rear-guard action by
Australian and New Zealand troops
in Greece inflicted tremendous cas-
ualties on the Germans, who ap-
peared to be trying for a quick,
Knockout blow against Greece, ac-
cording to dispatches from Athens.
The RAF' reported a record bag of
Is Nazi airplanes in fighting Luft-
waite attacks on rear line COM
munications and ships in Greek
ports. The Germans claimed 70
have brought down II British planes
and sunk $4,000 tons of ships.
The Germans announced again,
as they had last week, that the
British were embarking and fleeing
from Greece. The first such an
nouncement las: week was followed
by an explanation that the embarka-
ton had beer made impossible by
German air attacks upon Greek
harbors.
OTHER FRONTS ACTIVE
While the British and Greeks
clung to their third defense lines
in the mountains some ITO miles
north of Athens, not far from his
toric Thermopylae, there were
stronger indications of early action
on other fronts.
London heard that Germany was
bringing new pressure on Spain to
enter formally into the Axis line
up, presumably as prelude to an
attack on Gibraltar or an effort to
close the Straits of Gibraltar even
if the Rock" could not be captured.
German guns on Spanish territory
on both sides OF the straits might
be as effective as if Gibraltar were
in Nazi hands.
Whether the Germans immedi-
ately would undertake the admit
tedly difficult job OF moving and
feeding any large number of troops
in hungry Spain was not indicated
but more feasible plan might
involve only artillery forces near
Gibraltar.
RUMANIA FESTIVE
There were indications that un-
rest was increasing in Rumania.
Hungarian sources--obviously hos
tile to Bucharest-reported that
the government of Gen. Ion Anto-
neScu was in danger of losing Ger

the trail followed by de ANA goes
through the Coahuilla Indian res

The cavalcade was expected to
move about 80 miles a day. The
total trip was estimated at between
180 and 200 miles.
Irwin estimated that 80 members
of his Riverside organization would
make the complete trip and I'M
perial representatives hoped to have
at least score of valley horsemen
who would also go through to Riv-
