ATLANTA, Ga, May a.
With an area from two to five
blocks wide and 10 blocks long
in ashes, Atlanta today set to
work to provide permanently
for those who are homeless and
repair the damage of last Mon
days big blaze.
1t is stated that the city will
need no aid from the outside.
Considering the tremendous
area burned-52 blockS-the
monetary loss was remarkably
small owing to the cheap char
acter of most of the buildings
burned. 1t is believed that So
100000 will cover the damage.
Hundreds of persons today
were quartered in the AuditOri-
um and in the home of kindly
citizens until they can be taken
care of. Relief work is in the
hands of the Atlanta branch of
the American Red Cross and Of
ficerS of that organization stated
everyone of the homeless had
been fed and sheltered.
No Death Results.
There have been no deaths as a
result OF the fire, although several
persons were today recovering from
minor injuries. There was remark
ably little looting owing TO the pres
ence in the city of several regiments
of troops who paced the fire-swept
area all night, turning back all
those who could not show a valid
reason for wanting TO enter the
ruined section.
Many wild stories were current TO
the effect that the flames were
started by German plOtters. This
was positively denied by the author
tiles today.
Mayor Gambler stated he had in
vestigated thoroughly every plaus-
ible report of incendiarism, but mad
found them groundless. The flames
started in a Negro settlement near
Oakland cemetery and sparks car
r:ed by the strong wind leaped
across the Georgia railroad at Fort
and Decatur SITS. spreading the blaze
TO the flimsy Negro quarter there.
From Fort and Decatur SITS. the
blaze. famed by the ever freshening
wind, swept northward for Is
blocks 10 st. Charles av. and Jack
son blvd, finally being checked by
dynamite.

LONDON. May 22.-The triple Of
fensive of the British. French and

deadly precision that daily sees some
supposedly impregnab BILE stronghold
of the TeutOns crumble.
While the British and French hit
deeper into the Won Hindenburg

Alps have extended their gain north
east of Gorilla.
Both the Germans and Austro-
Hungarians are putting UP fierce re-
sistance TO retain their positions.
The German allies have lost enor-
mously in men.
With the exception of about 1000
yards the British under Field Mar
shall Haig have now taken about 10
miles of the nothernend of the Hin
denburg line. These gains extend
from Arras to a point near Bulle-
court. Fighting is continuous along
the Sensee river and north of the
Scarpe. on the Arras fronc. Along
the Sensee the English consolidated
their new positions and extended
them.
Heavy German attacks were beat
en- off by the French in the Cham
payne district Of the sector Of Nor
onvilliers. Along the Aisne river
also there were engagements and
violent artillery duels. The latest
thrust of the French has increased
the peril TO Laon, the chief bastion
defending the southern end Of the
Hindenburg line but there must he
many days Of bloody fighting be
fore it can be taken. il is admitted
by the French military experts.
The Italians are encountering
gigantic obstacles.
The Austro- Pungarians are equip
ped with an enormous amount of
heavy artillery and the Italian in
fantry is exposed 10 violent fire
from these cannon and from ma
