T.ondon, July 25th. —-All Europe burn- ed today in 2 drought which brought wich it forest fires, crop shortazes and the threat of plagues. Huge fires swent through forests in Northern Britain, cut- ting a ten-mile path, in Ab=rdeenshire not only destroyed the woods, but threat- ened many famous estates. There is fear th t the harvest this year will fall far below the average. Wheat suffered aspecially. lln only a few sections there were lieht rains, but not sufficient to have any effect on the general situation. Berlin, July 25th.—As a resuit of the heat and drought German scie~tists nave been experimenting with dry farming, but with little hope of success. Rome, July 25th. —ltaly has been a vietim of forest fires brought on by drought. : Madrid, July 25th. Spain’s crops are reported to be wilting in tone fields, ow- ing tc the lack of rain, ' Sourhamoton, July 25th.—Fire broke out today in the first cabin of the Maure- tania of the Cunard Line and spreading rapidly developed into a most serious conflagration. At eight o’clock tonight many hours after the outbreak, the flames were still eating into the interi- or{ of the great vessel and it "was cer- tain that the firemen vould be at work throughont the entire night. The five is supposed to -have originated from a lichted cigarette dropped upon the ear- pet in the main-salocn and it had made very considerable headway b>fore it was disecovered Thus far thefirst class dinine saloon of © e state-rooms on the ©® and D decks nave been burned out. IThe damage is cstimated at many thousands of pounds and it is said it will take months to repair the vessel. London, July 25th.—The statement with regard to the Irish peace negoti- ation which it is hoped Mr. Lioyvd George would make ir the House of Com- mons today, was not forthcoming, the Premier saving. in reply to a question that he hoped to be in a position to make a statement shortly. ( Washington, July 25th. The postpone ment of the Allied debts refunding until after the proposed disarmament confer- ence was advocated in the Senate today by Senator Borah. If the foreign Gov- ernments are unable to agree with the States on & aisarmament programine the United Staies people will be justified in insiscing that they promptly meet their dehts and interest to the - question. Mr. Borah added, will piay «an important part, moulding and shaping policies, wheth- er it is mentioned or not. If the Gov- ernment are to continue to spend vast sums for armament, it would cause lie United States to adopt an entirely dis ferent poliey in ecase they failed to agrec on disarmament, the Senator continued. France was the most militaristic nation at .present, he said, adding that her army of eight hundred thousand men was excessive. Great Britain, he said, also was spending enormous Sums on ner navy, while “he [Tnited Staces by its loan was supporting the arinament ioad, nos only for this country, but for the Kuro- pean debtors. The leading debtor coun- try, but if ths leading nations were am- ply able to pay interest, even if it were necessary to defer the principal. He cited a recent loan by Great Britain .to the Argentine. Athens, July 26th —An announcement by the Greek official agency late yester- day said the Turkish losses in Killed, wounded, prisocers, and missing, are estimated to be 756% oif their entire fichting strength in Asia Minor. The statement claims that the Greeks have driven such a wedge into the Turkish Nationalists forces at Angora, the cCupi- tal on the Northern branch of the Bag- dad railway, that communication has been cut off from those at Konich on the main line of the railway 150 miles to the South. ‘lt is confirmed’’ says the state- ment, ‘‘that the Turks lost heavily in the last ten days of fighting which re- sulted in the occupation of KEskishehr and the retreat of the Turkish forces. It can now be stated that the enemy lost more than three quarters of his forces
