FLAMING FORESTS THREATEN CAMPS Many Fire Fighting Crews Series Conflagrations Winnipeg, July 16.--Sweeping through northern districts in the mineral belts adjacent to The Pas, forest fires are reaching alarming proportions, and unless rain comes soon fear is expressed that they will get beyond the control of the rangers and prove a great menace to mining camps and settlements of the North. Over the week-end 30 fires were reported to forestry officials here. Some are of large extent, covering a wide area, while others are small. Cormorant Lake and the Flin Flon districts of the North re- port the most serious outbreaks coming after weeks of hot, dry weather. "he fires are within a 300-mile area, and have taxed the fighting forces of the Forestry Department. Day-and-Night Battle Aided by aeroplane patrol, for- est rangers are fighting a day-and- night battle in an endeavor to check the spread of the flames. Additional equipment and men have been sent from The Pas, while from mining camps and cther northern settlements the fighting forces have been augrzent- ed. As fast as a new outbreak is dis- covered by the scout planes fire- fighters are rushed to the threat- ened territory in large machines of the Royal Canadian Air Force. Planes also are carrying fire-fight- ing equipment, automatic pumps and hose to the rangers. "Green" Prospectors Blamed According to a report received by the forestry officials here, most of the fires are blamed on "green" prospectors, who neglect to deaden fires when they shift camp.

Dr. Chabot condemns the wrecking of the Nobile dirigible Italia disas- ters which attended the rescue of the Italian crew as a useless loss of hu- man lives. Nothing is to be gained by aerial exploration of polar reg- ions, but rather by scientific study and soundings from sturdy iceland steamers, he believes. Easier by Air _ "Evidently the access to the pole is easier by air than by steamer and eventually when the polar regions are opened up it will be by air," Dr. Charcot said to the United Press be- fore putting off in the French polar exploration ship, Pourquoi Pas, for the relief of Maj. Rene Guilbaud of the French Navy and Raold Amund- sen. "But we must wait until aviation has progressed and offers greater se- curity, We have, unfortunately, too many recent examples of the inabil- ity of present-day dirigibles and planes to stand the rigors of the Arc- tic. The air race to the North Pole for the purpose of discovery of un- charted land and the claiming of the land for any nation except that whose frontiers it may face, is not fo be taken seriously in the opinion of the French explorer, "It is childish to think that the mere act of flying over land and dropping flags on it is sufficient to establish incontestable claim to it in the name of any nation," Dr. Char- cot said, "The act of possession is not valy- able, in my opinion, until a base has heen established and men have walk- ed on the ground above which they fly their flag. That is one reason why no country can ever claim the North Pole. Constant Motion "It has been conclusively proven that the position of the mythical pole is a vast ice-covered sea without land within a radius of 100 miles. This is constantly in slow motion and I doubt if any of the flags which have been dropped on the exact site from air- planes or dirigibles are today within 20 miles of the pole, "There do exist around the pole a certain number of pieces of land, but they all depend to one contin- ent or another. Much of the land is attached to the Asiatic continent, part to Greenland, whose exact extent has never yet heen determined and may yet prove tc be a continent as large in area as South America, and part to the North American continent. "All have already been rationally attributed, Undoubtedly there al- ways will arise arguments about pos- session, and I recall the case of the Island of Jeanne Mayen situated to the north of Iceland. It was claimed by both Norway and Denmark, but a Solomonian judgment divided the is- land between the two countries. "I recall another island upon which successively, Danish, American, Swiss, Norwegian, and French ex- plorers erected their flags. I have never yet heard just how the question of ownership has been determined. It may prove a ticklish problem some- day to the League of Nations. DEATH AGONY OF PLANTS IS SHOWN Sir Jagadis Bose's New Ex- periments Subject of Lecture London.--Sir Jagadis C. Bose gave a fascinating lecture on "The Motor Mechanism of Plants" at University College recently, He ex- hibited for the first time in Lon- don some new instruments which he had devised to record in one way and another the life processes of plants, and the extraordinary sensitiveness of these instruments was demonstrated. The lecture, delivered with Sir J. C. Bose's accustomed dramatic vivacity, explored once pore with what the Chairman, Professor Don- nan, called "a mixture of poetry and science" his own special field of the mysterious processes of plant life. "The new experiments," Sir J. C. Bose said at the close, "have brought plants much nearer to us than we thought. In many ways the life action of the plant and the animal are alike, and through these experiments we hope to relieve the sufferings of man. "In opposition to prevailing the- ories," said Sir Jagadis, "I was convinced more than a quarter of a century ago that the simpler type of plant organization offers a uni- que advantage in investigation the pursuit of which is sure to lead to the solution of many perplexing problems in animal life. My faith and long persistence have led to the establishment of the great gen- eralization of the identical mature of physiological mechanism in all life. The real difficulty that thwarts the investigator of the life of plants arises from the fact that 'the interplay of life-action is tak. ing place within the dark profun- dities of the tree which our eyes cannot fathom. In order to reveal the intricate mechanism it is mee- essary to gain access to the small- est unit of life, the 'life atom' ard record its throbbing pulsation."

Ny WORKS HARD T0 PAY CREDITORS Leopold Zimmerman Will Strive For Full Restitu- tion to Those He Owes (By Capadian Press) New York, N.Y., July 16.--Back of a large bank window overlook- ing lower Broadway, in which are displayed sovereigns, doubloons, guilders and other foreign money, sits an elderly man at a large desk laboriously counting coins. But his fingers are not those of a.grasping miser, nor do his eyes reflect the greed of the mone; changer, for that fraction of each coin that he gains through trans- actions in foreign exchange is to be passed on to others, because, he explains, they had confidence in him. The man is Leopold Zimmerman, who for 50 years strove to make Zimmerman & Forshay, investment bankers, one of the foremost for- eign exchange houses in the Street. He succeeded, but the post-war financial crisis in Central Europe and the collapse of the German mark wracked the house that was his lite work. . Losses exceeded $6,000,000. Most of the creditors had little hope of salvage. Zimmerman had just rounded out his three score years 5 Dozen Misses' Fugi Silk Pleat- ed Skirts--Made with fine nain- and 20.

He worked hours daily with the receivers to reclaim as much as possible. He got permission frou the court to re-open his office under the old firm name. And during the past year he has vol- untarily repaid creditors some $100,000 of his pesonal earnings from the new firm. "Single-handed," says this short, heavy-set, snowy-haired warrior of Wall Street, "I have fought my way back. It was bard work at first. Everything was gone. But now the business is coming back and I pray that I may live jong enough to pay back every cent." No clerk is more active than Zimmerman, who recently celebrat- ed his seventy-fifth birthday anni- versary by putting in his regular 10 hours at his desk. On that desk in his private office, which he reaches by stair with the aid of a cane, he keeps a list of more than 2,000 names. His greatest joy-is to check them, one at a time, for each mark means that a creditor has been paid fin full. More than 500 names now are checked. Zimmerman's work with the re- ceivers salvaged emough to pay about: 49 per cent. of the debts. A recent award of $1,250,000 by the Mixed Claims' Commission net 25 per cent. more. Amother suit for $500,000 is pending.
