FItENCH HEADQUARTERS. July
27. Tho fire of hundreds of guns
was massed on a two-mile front last
night, when the German Crown
Prince tried his seventh successive
night attack , In an effort to wrest
ground controlling the C hern In des
Dames from the French.
It was probably the most concen
trated and most violent assault of
seven days of violent fighting. Eleven
German balloons were sent aloft for
artillery range work, and the German
guns were set only a few hundred
feet apart, pouring a veritable In
ferno of fire on the French defenders.
The great attack proved fruitless,
however, the Germans falling to gain
any new positions, while the French
recaptured considerable lost ground
in other sections.

performance.
Mrs. F. Thordarson. In the title
role of the opera makes a beautiful
and charming Queen Esther and sings
and acts the part with grace and dig
nity. Her duets in the second act are
some of the most beautiful harmonies
in the opera and there she Is excel
lently assisted by Mr. H. W. McKen-
zie, as Mordecai. the old Jewish uncle
of the queen. The second act is par
ticularly Impressive, with the sombre
colored Jewish costumes that com
pare strangely with the brilliant
robes of the Persians.
Mrs. F. S. Francis, as Prophetess,
Mrs. Birdie Howard, as Mordecai's
sister, and Mr. F. Thordarson, as
High Priest, all have solos in this
act. This second act represents Jhe

FIRES FROM BEYOND
CASCADES CAUSE.
Oliwrver!i on Dt-M'liutcs Forest Or
dered From Pouts Today to Take
Up Patrol Hen Ice Rumor of
Itig Fire Groundless. i
Smoke from forest fires believed
to be raging on the otber side of the
Cascades has so filled the air In the
last few days that lookouts on the
Deschutes National Forest are utterly
unable to see whether or not any
flames are at work in their own ter
ritory. Supervisor W. G. Hastings
ordered all the men employed In this
work' to start patrolling this morn
ing, and the- lookout stations will be
abandoned until the smoke clears.
Reports that the worst conflagra
tion in years was sweeping away the
timber midway between La Pine and
Crescent, came In late yesterday at- ,
ternoon from La Pine, autolsts driv
ing at a 40-mlle clip to escape the
flames. Mr. Hastings believes that
the dense smoke was the only founda
tion for the report, for Rangers Oner
and Ha'rrlman were sent out to locate
the trouble, and atter scouring the
country all night, they sent In word
this morning to Bend that not even a
spark could be discovered. .
The fire policy on the Deschntes
will be concerned chiefly with auto
patroling ot all roads passing through
or near the national forest, and In
stamping out tires along roads and
camping places as the Interior and
more inaccessible points will present
no danger unless another .thunder
storm should set fire to the timber.
In this case there Is a possibility that
the air might be cleared for long
enough to give the lookouts a chance,
to do some effective locating work.
