ATLANTA SWEPT BY FIRE WITH LOSS OF OVER THREE MILLIONS
Continued from Page One,

Fifth Georgia guardsmen were sent in from the fort and entered into the work lustily, as many of them were working to save their own homes or dwellings of relatives. Newspaper men sent into the area telephoned along with other re- ports that their own homes in many in stances had been destroyed.
 Vagaries of the kind caused great alarm in sections that afterward proved safe and tonight for blocks on all sides of the area of destruction household boods were piled in every conceivable place. These were guarded in most cases by soldiers, who also were pressed into all kinds of work.
 Several hundred buckets were rushed to Ponce de Leon avenue when the fight centered there. Each soldier was SUD- piled with one and as tiny blaze started on root these men were rushed to it. It was by such detailed methods as these that checked the blaze at the avenue for so long time. The presence of the sol diers directing traffic, guarding house. hold goods and keeping peoplpe from tn edanger zone gave almost the appear ance of martial law As far as had been reported tonight good order was main- tained everywhere and there were no at- tempts at footing.

Government Urged to
 Add to River Traffic

Washington, May 21.-Senator Rans- dell of Louisiana and Representative Small of North Carolina and members of the shipping board discussed with President Wilson today the need of de. velopment of freight traffic on the Mis- sissippi and tributary rivers to relieve railroad congestion. The members of Congress are anxious to have the ship ping board build with the appropria- tions already approved barges and oth- Ter small craft that could be operated on the rivers. They pointed out to the President that the board has such com plete control over the materials and facilities for such construction that private parties cannot get into the market. The plan contemplates a re- payment by private interests of the sums expended by the government and the private operation of the boats
 The President expressed interest In the idea and it was not opposed by the shipping board but no decision was reached

Montgomery May 2f.-(Special) Orders from the war department Mon day directed the Alabama National Guard to recruit all units to full war strength and an intensive campaign for new men was started at once. Simi- lar orders were issued by the south eastern department last week, but an other reading of instructions from the war department caused recruiting To be suspended. Recruiting parties will be sent to all home stations of thu companies and the campaign will be continued until the evening of June 4, when it will be suspended pend

was in flames It was reported to the men that government supplies for thou sands of troops were stored there, and that the German agents had caused the conflagrations simultaneously throughout the city so this war material would be destroyed. That the officers in training were grimly determined in their work, and that they conducted themseIves with more or less recklessness was not sur prising under the circumstances. How ever, officials were confident tonight that the great fire was entirely the result of natural causes.
 Among those who lost everything in the flames was Miss Winnie Freeman, until recently a well known newspaper woman of Birmingham, who Is now on the repor- toral staff of the Atlanta Georgian. AS she was taking reports over the tele- phone from various staff men about the fire she received a call to the effect that the apartment in which she resided with members of her family had been destroyed and that everything they pos sessed had been wiped out.

Lieutenant Robert Thach
 Will Go in Aviation Corps

Washington, May 21-.(Special) Because of the general belief that the Alabama cavalry troop will be re- turned to the border. and his own de- sire to see service in France, Lieut. Robert R. Thach of Birmingham, has applied for a commission in the avia- tion corps of the regular army.
 If he passes the physical examina- tion, he will be accepted and his com mission in the Alabama National Guard will be returned to the government
 It is regarded as highly improbable that a single cavalry unit will be sent to France. General Joffre has in- formed the war department that the all lies have more cavalry at present than they need. He pointed out the folly of transporting additional horses and troops which must be fed and could not be utilized. It is the prevailing idea that within few weeks, Ala bama cavalry will be returned to the border and along with other horse units will protectthe country from Mexican bandits.
