BtTSHSXXX Ti Forest Fires Are 7 - Now Under Control Still Very Smoky la Werbweet Wash ington, but : Situation , in General Xs Better Than fox Bay Past. 8eattle, Wash! Aug. 23 (P. N. S.) -Although- the - whole of northwest Washington Is blanketed under a cov ering of smoke that almost obscures the sun. the forett fire situation today is reported more favorable than at any time during the last week. No new fires have . broken out , in dangerous placea, and those fires which threat ened most last week are reported under control. The biggest fire, the one which wiped out scores of homes and three small villages in Whatcom county last week, is atili burning, but a fortunate ab sence of high winds and the determined fight which thousands of -Whatcom county residents waged for two weeks has resulted' in a checking of tha flames. It will be days hefore the fire dies out, but reports from Belling ham assert that danger Is past unless a sudden recurrence of high winds should cause the fire to get beyond control. Greece, apparently, has decided It isn't, worth while surrendering her Macedonian provinces to Bulgaria just to buy a little protection for the allies.
