fey Review Leased Wire ]

AUGUSTA, Ga, March 22.-Fire caus- ed damage estimated at more than S20OO. .000 in the downtown section of Augusta tonight. and al a late hour was eating its way unchecked down Broad Street, where the city's princi- nal shops are located. Ten blocks had been destroyed or were burning and the flames were beginning to spread tc the residential section.
 Shortly before midnight the flames were carried by the wind into the res iGentiai section where a new confiagra- tion soon was making rapid Ii aadway. The outbreak was a distance of four blocks from the blaze in the business section.
 There apparently was little hope of saving "Coton Row." string of ware houses where S5.O00,0OO worth Of cot ton is stored The cotton exchange and board Of trade also are directly in the path of the flames, and among the structures already destroyed or badly damaged were two office buildings. the Masonic Temple, four banks, two tel eeraph company buildings and the buildings of the two daily newspapers.
 The fire started in the Dyer office building and a high wind frustrated efforts to check it. The building was d total loss. Help for the local fire department sent here by special trains from Atlanta, Macon and Savannah.

W hASHlNG1ON, March ZZ.-F1nal action on the Hay army increase bill was in sight tonight when the House adjourned. With only two important sections remaining to be discussed, passage of the measure somtime to- morrow is assured.
 The bill will come up in the Senate Monday. Chairman Chamberlain. of the Senate Military Committee, an- nOunced today that he would await the arrival of the House bill, and give it brief consideration in committee and ask for it's immediate considera- tion in the Senate.
 As a preliminary step on army legislation the Senate passed during the day, by a vote of 59 to ?. the bill doubling the peace strength of the cadet corps at West Point Academy A similar measure, applying to the Naval Academy, was signed by the President.
 The Hay bill has not been altered in any of it's broad aspects during the three day struggle in the House with amendments. Chairman Hay has been defied only ~once, having approved every other change in the detail of the measure. It is very certain the bill will go to the Senate as framed by the committee.
 One section still to be disposed of however, is the vital element Of the whole army plan proposed. It is the militia pay provision, under which the bill is expected to provide a force of national guardsmen with five years as a substitute for the continental army proposal.
 The section had been read when representative Gardner, republican of Massachusetts, presented an amend ment proposing as a substitute the volunteer provision of the Chamber lain bill.
 Another important section remain ing is that authorizing construction of plant to produce atmosphere nitro gen for use in explosives. It is cer- tain to cause extended debate The House refused twice today to insert in the bill a provision designed to prohibit the use of national guard by states for strige duty. Representative London, of New York. socialist. and representative htdllHS, Ol 0OlOTduO. democrat, were met by points of order when they offered amendments for this purpose. The House overwhelm- ingly sustained the ruling of the chairman. The struggle wRl be re- newed tomorrow but there is no pro- spect that the House will change it's mind
 The most important amendment placed on the bill was a suggestion by Carl Hayden. of Arizona. It pro- vides that when a regiment of nation al guard is sent to the front, fresh battalion be organized from the na- tional guard reserve to take the regi- ment's place and to train recruits for the fighting lines. Under this sys- tenn, if the entire guard were called out, a force one third it's total strength would immediately take it's place at home to maintain order. secure and train recruits and insure that the fighting regiment would be kept up to full strength without being hampered by levies of ram recruits.
 It is possible a similar system will be devised for the regular army.
