Only her bow and pilothouse remained out of the wkter. The damage to the Ad miral Watson Is estimated at 50.000. The Paraiso was uninjured. Smoke Shuts Off View. The accident was due to a heavy pall or smoke rrom rorest fires overhanging tho bay and obscuring the waterfront- According to Andrew BJorkland. the pilot who was moving the Paraiso rrom one pier to another to take on addi tional cargo, the denseness of the smoke forced the Paraiso to stand close enough In to be able to discern each pier aa it loomed up. the smoke being so thick at this that the pilot could not see 20 yards ahead. The dock to which the Admiral Wat son waa moored projects into the bay at the end ot a curve In the shoreline, and In hugging the shore the ParalBO struck the Admiral Watson squarely amidships, her stern sinking rapidly In 40 feet or water.

Sunday's War Moves "THERE are no sings yet of any X slackening or the German pursuit or the retiring Russians and, accord ing to the official report issued in Berlin today, progress has been made in all sectors of the eastern battle line except that In Northern Courland, where the armies ot Grand Duke Nicho las are offering an effective resist ance. From the southeast of Kovno, where the Germans claim to have broken tho Russian resistance and must, there tore, be approaching Vilna, along the Niemen to Grodno and thence south eastward through the forest of Bielo- viezh and along the borders ot the Pripet River marshes, the Russians are railing back to new positions. Speculation is again being indulged in as to whether the Germans intend to follow the Russians further or pre pare positions from which .they can hold ths Muscovites, while the Teutons attempt an orfenslve in the Balkans or on the western lines in France and Belgium. Military observers here are ot the opinion that this question must be settled before ' many days have elapsed, arguing that with the Sum mer coming to an end any ventures proposed for the Fall must eoon de velop. The artillery has been the chiet mode or warrare on the western line. The most activity has been" displayed here by the guns or the allies, which have been shelling virtually the en tire German lines. In addition, the allies have bfen using their air craft in large squad rons to bombard German positions. It is being vaguely hinted in Lon don that mid-October has been chosen as the time for the long-postponed -big push" or the allies, but the gen eral public does not expect a strong orfenslve movement as yet. There has been more heavy fighting on the Galllpoli Peninsula, according to the Turkish official report. This claims that-the allies suffered heavily In a series of attacks last Friday.

' Nearly 300 men are righting the three big forest tires that are raging in the Cascades, near Mount Hood. District Forester George H. Cecil and Assist ant District Forester T. H. Sherrard left for Zig Zag Rangers' Station yes terday and will visit the fires. Many tarmers In the Sandy (Oregon) district have lett their crops to fight the tires. All three or the fires lie within a radius -of 30 . miles. The Shell Rock creek fire, the first one to start, la on the headwaters of the Clackamas, about 20 miles south of Mount Hod. The White River fire, also known as the Bonnles Butte fire, is about the same distance southeast of Mount Hood, and the third and biggest of the fires is on Salmon River, about 15 miles south west of the mountain. The Shell Rock creek fire and the White River fire had been controlled by the rangera, wardens and the men they had employed, but the heat and high winds of Saturday and Friday fanned them up and they got beyond control. Thealmon River fire Is being fought by more than 100 men and is the most stubborn of the three. According to the latest reports, the Salmon River fire is covering an area of about 2500 acres, although the for estry officials say that areas are hard to judge In the Umbered country. Be fore the Shell Rock creek fire was first controlled, it had burned over anjirea of 1000 acres. Most .of the country burned over is in non-commercial tim ber. The White River and the Shell RocK creek fires were both started by lightning, but the Salmon River fire's cause has not been determined. All three were observed by the lookout on the summit of Mount Hood and , re ported to trie rangers' stations.
