ATLANTA HAS 5 MILLION FIRE
10000 People Are Homeless; SO
Blocks Burn.

ATLANTA, GA. = Ten thousand
persons were made homeless and
thirty-six closely built city blocks are
in ruins, the result of disastrous fires
which swept this city for nine hours,
first through the negro sections and
then to the palatia1 residences in the
fashionable Ponce de Leon section.
Dynamite was resorted to time and
again to check the path of the flames
and not until late at night was the
fire practically gotten under control.
National guardsmen from Camp
Mcpherson are on guard in the whole
1re-swept regions. Looters will be
dealt with by firm hand. The loss is
estimated by insurance men at S.
100000.

AMERICANS ARE HELD,
PROTEST TO KAISER
U. S. Hints ReprisaIs May Fol-
low Further DEFINITIONS.

WASHINGTON, d. c. - Protest to
Germany against the detention OF
American citizens was made by the
state department through the Spanish
government. The department has re-
ceived positive information that Amer
leans are held in Germany and has
asked for full and definite statement
of the imperial governments attitude
concerning their departure. 1t is
pointed out this government always
has acted promptly on application of
German subjects to leave the United
States.
The departments protest is based
specifically upon the cases of two
Americans, employees of an electrical
company at Antwerp. The names have
been withheld. 1t Is not believed that
these are more than fifty or seventy
ire that many.
All efforts to obtain any information
as to why the two men at Antwerp
have not been allowed to depart have
failed
The department statement announc-
ing the protest directs attention to the
fact that no obstacle has been placed in
the way of Germans wishing to leave
America. This generally was con-
strued as an intimation that some
measure of reprisal might be adopted
in the event that Germany persists in
ignoring the right of Americans to
leave her territory.

AMERICAN WARSHIPS IN HUNT

Fishermen off Coast of Maine See
Periscope and Then Vessel Runs
Away-When Fact Is Reported, u.
S. Officials Had Heard Similar
News.
PORTLAND, MAINE - Persistent
reports, current since war was de-
clared, that German submarine was
in New England waters, were given
official recognition. 1t was stated by a
naval officer that new reports had
been received and that an investiga-
ton was under way.
1t was reported to the naval station
that after the sighting of periscope,
submarine was seen running away
off Machias at o'clock Monday night.
This report was forwarded to Boston
md New York, but not not made pub
&c. Tuesday morning three lobster
fishers told of having sighted what
they believed to be a submarine, and
when their reports were carried by
newspaper men to the naval officer re-
ferred to above he admitted having re-
ceived earlier and similar reports and
said that they were being acted upon.
Saw Submarine Submerge.
The supposed submarine which ap.
peared to be about 200 feet in length:
was sighted by two fishermen south of
Seguin light 9:15 o'clock in the morn.
ing. It was a mile and a half distant,
but the fishermen were sure of the
character of the stranger AS they
were watching it, the engine of their
motor back fired and instantly fol
lowing the report the submarine sub
merged The fishermen, however;
reached the shore and reported what
they had seen. They had no more than
reached shore when a third fisherman
arrived with the report that he had
seen the craft a little later west of
Seguin light.
AS seen by the fishermen the posi-
ton of the craft would fit in with its
probable position if it continued a
westerly course, after being sighted
off Cross island Monday night. Later
it was seen by two members of the
coast guard. One guard first saw the
vessel and later he was joined by
second guard and the two men watch
H the craft for an hour. They had
ample time to study the ship closely
under favorable conditions and were
convinced that it was a submarine.
