House yesterday.
A threatening and dangerous
j Or® is setting good headway iu the
aod and young shruUbery at a
point directly across from Smug
glers Cove on the Csual. The blaze
i was first seen at au early hour this
morning by Captain Ralph Young
as 1 e was taking a party aexoes to
Burro Creek. At that time just
, a litue smoike could be seen and
: nothing was thought of the mat
! ter. Later in the day the wind
playing on the blaze has fanned it
into a dangerous fire.
The Daily Alaskan, as soon as
it learned of the situation imme
diately wired to Leon Ballard, fire
warden for this distilct. He is re
ported to be on his way to fight
the olaze with a tody ofmen.
The origin of the fire is unknown
but is supposed to be tho result of
the negligence of campers. Time
iit(r tin.e the Da^ly Alaskan has
warned parties of the dangers in
leaving fires burning and from
discarded cigar and cigarette stu'ns
No doubt the flro wardeai will make
a close investigation ox the cause
.and trace the negllgcr.t person
down. It is undi/rftood that the
flift person found guilty of a bren U
of the fire laws will be severely
pui.lshed to impress on the minds
of the others that there is a law
wi'h a heavy penalty attached for
disobeys nee.

| LONDON, July 8—Strong of
fensive movements are now being
wage ' on both the ■western and
eastern fronts. Germany Is trying
to defend and check the invasion of
<he Allies upon. Its territory. Mill
tar" officials la connection with
the situation believo that Germany
has worsted her strength and that
nothing will be able to stop the
offensive programs of the invading
nations.
Confirmation reports are reach
ing Ihe war department of a gen
eral r<Areat of the entire German
eastern line. The German troops
fi^'ing on the eastern frontier wer
occupying advance territory and it
may be that the combined retreat
la 'o fall back to a safer place and
put up a solid defense line along
the front. Indications point, how
ever, to a general weakening of
the "ighting Btrer.gth of Germany's
army.
T <s Russians are accordedi with
complete victory In their offensive
campaign Within the last forty

important territory and thousands
