SIPT BY FIRES
Yellowstone Park, Wyo., Aug.
19. (P) An army of almost
1S00 men battled doggedly today
against five forest fires despite
discouraging "blow ups" which.
sent flames racing into additional
timber stands.
The Moose creek fire lines
were held by 640 men, but the
Ranger lake blaze broke away
and ran a mile and a half before
600 fighters could establish new
lines.
Fires at Ouzel falls and Spirea
creek also developed runs yes
terday when rangers hoped they
were under control. The Moun
tain Ash blaze defied the ef
forts of more than 100 begrimed
smoke eaters.
Additional fire lookouts were
established including one at
Bunsen peak near Mammoth Hot
Springs for the first time in
several years, because of the
hazardous conditions in the park
timber and range.
All entrances to the park were
open. Tourists reported no In
convenience because of the
fltmes.
Rushville. Ind., Aug. 19 P)
Wendell L. Willkle was com
pleting arrangements today to
open a nation-wide speaking
campaign at Coffeyville, Kansas,
in mid-September unless, he
said "President Roosevelt would
like to meet me beforehand" in
joint debates.
From Coffeyville, he likely
will go to the west coast, tour
ing from Los Angeles up to
Seattle, and then back into the
mid-west and the east for the
latter portion of the campaign.
He still is considering speeches
In the south, he said, adding that
he would go into Texas "if de
velopments continue the way
they are going now."
The Republican presidential
nominee challenged the chief
executive Saturday to argue for
eign and domestic issues "face to
face , but he told reporters yes
terday he had "not heard a word
from Washington" in reply.
"I am waiting patiently,"
Willkie said as he sat in the
cream-colored home of his mother-in-law,
Mrs. Cora Wilk. "I
will be glad to accommodate
myself to any dates the presi
dent wants to fix."
The candidate determined fin
ally on the Coffeyville engage
ment at a Sunday luncheon con
ference with Republican Chair
man Joseph W. Martin of Massa
chusetts. The latter came here after
Willkie accepted the presiden
tial nomination at Elwood Satur
day in a speech calling for
"some form of selective service"
and charging that Mr. Roosevelt
"courted a war for which the
country is hopelessly unpre
pared." Coffeyville was chosen for the
first major address because Will
kie taught high school history
there is 1913-14. He is asking
Walter Johnson, one time Cof
feyville resident who gained re
nown as the "big train" of base
ball, to introduce him.
Willkie, his wife and son,
Philip, will stay here through
Wednesday, and then may go to
Maine or Minnesota, after mak
ing a brief stop In New York.
The Maine election is September
9, but Willkie said he would
make only short, informal talks
if he visited the state this month.
