WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN
THE FIELD, Aug. 16. Vimy Ridge
Is covered with flowers. A few weeks
ago I watched this hill explode and
blaze like the Day of Judgment while
the Canadians with their artillery and
miles turned It Into a seething, boil
ing mound of fire.
Today Nature has completed her
miracle. V4my Ridge Is green. Pop
ples, cowslips, cornflowers, purple
thistle-mops, daisies and belated
speedwells dash the (torv battlefield
with color, while rank grass hides
the smaller shell craters.
Vimy Ridge runs from Just west
of Lens almost due south towards
Arras. Notre Dame de Lorette is a
great ridge running generally east
and west, the eastern slopes ending
west of Lens where Vimy begins.
From the too of Notre Dame. T.en
can be plainly seen about four miles
away. The whole flat Dlain to the
north and northeast, is dominated
by this great hill. It also dominates
the south and west. Small wonder
the two ridges were ordered hv h
German high command to be held at
all costs, for so long as they were
nem me British and French were
powerless from Arras to Ypres.
So the French stormed Notre Dame
and won It. The whole rldee w..
drenched in blood, the ground was
shattered, and it seemed that this
spot would ever be barren nf ,
slightest growing thing.

FOREST FIRES
SIX CONFLAGRATIONS IX ' AND
NEAR NATIONAL JX)REST RE
PORTED RAIN MAY AID IN
EXTINGUISHING THEM.
Six more fires in timber in or near
the Deschutes national forest, the
result of lightning storms- in the
mountains, were reported this morn
ing by Acting Supervisor V, V. Har-
pham. "The worst of tbe blazes Is at
Walker Rim and this Is thought to
be under control, as no calls for ad
ditional men have come In. Ranger
Perry South, of Crescent, Is In charge.
Of (he other fires, three are in the
La Pine section, and two are on Paul
ina creek, all five being outside the
national forest boundaries.
Although storms are blamed for
the conflagrations, it Is possible that
they may be extinguished by the same
agency, for a telephone report re
ceived last night by Mr. Harpham
stated that rain Is falling In the
higher forested regions.
