Hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of timber and cut pulpwood went up in flames. Beauti- ful_ farm homes, settlers’ cabins, schools and stores were mere clumps of ashes tonight.

Rangers called on about 5,000

volunteers to hem the flames ~in the northwestern edge of the province while observers in alr-

planes dared thick smoke to warn of new outbreaks and advance of the flames. The crews expressed the belief all persons in the fire area had been accounted for with the finding of the Fyle family.

Like the Lnbelle families, the Pyle-s were attempting toflee when they apparently became stricken by smoke and were roasted by the crackling tentacles which spread from tree to tree and through hay] meadows and settlements.

Rangers said they thought Pyle I had been found by his wife while he was fightini: the fire and with the women and infant he tried to dash to safety. ‘They apparently attempted to circle around the flames eating tlirouzh dry slash. "There is no further danger oi’ loss of life." chief fire ranger William Darby, on the job day and nlizlit. reported late todav. "The situation. ivhlch Monday was tense. changed for the better at rnon Tuesday.

"The wind died down and the humidity ls much higher than ye - terday. That is “a nood- . though. of course, the wind might start up again and the flames get out of control once more"

“Now at last an end to the Innitzcr methods!" said the leader article's headline which, ran across thi- first page.

It was the first real editor- lal cognizance Nazis have tak- en of Cardinal lnnitzerfis ser-

mon last Friday and the subsequent storming of his palace which resulted in

broken windows, miicli interior damage, a wound to the Car- dinal fromathrmvn stone, and the injury of one of the can- onii.

The same newspaper yesterday made the first reference in Vienna newspapers to ‘the incidents on Saint Stephen's place." in a. re- port of a Nazi party meeting speech by Burgoniaster Hermann Neubaclier. The Biirgomaster re- buked the Cardinal for a remark that there still are young people who "are not so easily tempted to listen to deceitful eatchwords and hypocritical rhetoric.”
