BIT BY BIT GAINS ARE MADE BY
 BRITISH
H A I c HOLDS FAST TO CONQUERED UND AND PUSHES AHEAD HIS OFFENSIVE. DES- PETE VIOLENT COUNTER ATTACKS; FRENCH HAVE RESUMED I'll FIR AD- VANCE IN CHAMPAGNE.
Sy Associated Press

By Associated Press
 Generals Haig and Petain are again pushing ahead with their offensive in Northern France and today both report new gains.
 After driving into the Hinden- burg line along a mile front yes- terday morning in the sector northwest of Bullecourt, the Brit ish resumed their attack last even ing and captured support trench behind the position just taken.
 That the frmness of the British hold on this section of the Hin denburg line seriously threatened the Queant-Dracourt line protect ing Douai, is attested by the fail urc of the German reactions. General Haig is well maintaining his initiative and bit by bit forcing the Germans to give ground.
 Not only did the British prove themselves able to hold their gains from morning against heavy counter-attacks but to resume their offensive the same day and push further ahead, maintaining their second advance against re- newed counter-attacks.
 The French for their part in the great battle have resumed their advance in Champagne. Having foiled the crown princes desper- ate and costly effort to regain control of the Des Danes plateau on the Aisne front, General Pe- tain turned to the Champagne sector and struck northward on the Moronvilliers heights.
 Several lines of German trench es were captured in these opera tions and some 800 prisoners talk en. All the important observa- ton posts in this section of the front are now in French hands, facilitating their further advance in the drive calculated to flank the Germans out of the salient to the northwest projecting toward Rheims.

Committed To Show Officers
 Ideal LOcatjQns
(From Tuesdays Gaily.)

The sites offered by four cities oi
 Arizona have already been described
 to the commission. They arc Doug
 las. Nogalcs, Tucson and Phoenix. With the data regarding Prescott, the commission will go into session on its return to Fl Paso. and after studying the facts, will make recommendations to the war department, on which will be based the final decision.
 We will have nothing to do with the decision," said a member of the commission last night "We have not decided. ourselves, what our recom- mendations will be- I cannot say when the verdict will be returned"
 Before retiring, the officers had an interesting chat with the reception committee at the club last night. The appalling amount of work involved in assembling training and transporting the troops was revealed in this con- versation. An instance of the size oi the undertaking is afforded by the government estimate that it will take a million board feet of lumber to build the light frame barracks in which the men will be housed.
 When it was stated that Arizona might be selected for two division camps, t was asked if this meant two camps to accommodate 30,000 men, or two camps of 30,000 men each. It was said that ii Arizona gets two camps, that 60,000 men will be trained within the borders of this State. No reason. was given for the fact that Arizona may be entrusted with the handling of twice the usual number of recruits, but it is inferred that the wealth of good camp sites and near ness to the border are the main factors.
 Douglas, Tucson, Nogales and Phoenix are making strong bids for the army training camp. Prescott is making no claims, and has made none but is merely giving the commission the facts regarding sites, climate and other advantages.
 With Summer approaching, none of the southern cities except Nogales ,an advance any arguments in favor of their climate. Prescott need put forth no efforts to convince anybody l of the excellence of its Summer cli- mate, for the facts of the matter have been in the hands of the war depart nent since five years prior to the of Fort Whipple.
 It was learned here yesterday that he possibility of splitting up the camp into two or more units | vas being considered, and local be- levers in Prescott as training camp 'ite are confident that in such a divi- ;ion, Prescott will be recognized.

 ATLANTA, May 2l-Fire which started this afternoon in an obscure negro section of the city swept a broad path through the residential section, devastating scores of blocks and destroying many of the city's finest homes and hundreds of negro houses.
 The flames were checked half way through the exclusive Ponce-de-Leon avenue residence section. First esti- mates of the damage placed it be- tween S2,0O0OO0 and S3,OO00O0. As far as known the only life lost was that of woman who died from shock.
 The fire was confined to the north eastern part of the city and the only business houses burned were several warehouses.
 A high wind carried the flames northcastward with a speed which soon outran the efforts of the fire de- partment. Within an hour of the first alarm the blaze assumed the propor- tions of conhagration and the fire officials called in several hundred men from the Fort McPherson officers training camp to aid in the fight Alp. peals also brought fire equipment from half dozen neighboring cities.
 The struggle with the flames reach ed a climax at nightfall when the fire fighters made a stand at Boulevard's place and began dynamiting a wide area to protect the Ponce-de-Leon section. The effort was only partly successful. Later they repeated it two blocks beyond the avenue A thou sand homeless were cared for by citizens committee and the Red Cross

 One swift day will be put in, seeing what the vicinity of Prescott has to offer in the way of facilities for a training camp for between 25.000 and 30,000 recruits for the nations new war army.
 Arizona may be the one State in the Southwest, aside from Texas in which two units will be housed, according to Major s. V. Ham, secretary of the commission.
 Water supply has proven one of the least of the problems confronting the commission. Within the past week, they have inspected sites at Dcming. Columbus and Las Cruces, N NJ; Douglas, Tucson, Phoenix, and today, Prescott The next inspection will be at Fort Wingatc, near Gallup, N. M.. and then Albuquerque.
 Heading the party is Brigadier General Henry A. Greene. Included in its personnel are Lieutenant Col onels NJ. L. Walker, ]. F. Kennedy and William H. Bertsch. and Major $. V. Ham.
 About 30000 men and 5000 animals will make up the quota for each di- vision camp. These will require for housing about 1000 light frame build ings. No tents will be used, accord ing to members of the commission last night
 Early this morning. the party will be driven to Fort Whipple, the en- virons of that post. the target range and such other sites nearby as are considered of military value. The committee, headed by R. N. Fred ericks, which was influential in secur- ing the presence here of the distin- guished officers, has already collected and submitted in typewriter form. accompanied by maps, all the data possible concerning the facilities, eli mate and other advantages of train ing camp here.

LONDON, May 2l.- Ii was an. nounced by Premier Lloyd George in the house of commons today that the government proposed to sumon i'm mediately a convention of representa- tive Irishmen in Ireland to submit 10 the British parliament a constitution for the future government of Ireland.
 John Redmond, the Nationalist leader, after the premier had made his announcement, said that for the first time in history Ireland had been asked virtually to settle the problem for herself. "I take it for granted" he said, that all sections of Irishmen feel 1t their duty 10 come in"
 Lloyd George said there was one thing in common to the failure of all attempts to arrive at settlement that the proposals had emanated from the British government. The present government therefore dccIdGd, toS in-' vite Irishmcn themselves to put for, ward proposals. The government pro- posed, he said, that Ireland should try its own hand at framing a plan This had succeeded" he said in Can ada, Australia and South Africa" and he could not help thinking that what had been accomplished there might be achieved in Ireland. The govern ment therefore proposed, he contin- ued. to summon immediately on be- half of the crown, a convention repre- sentative of all classes interested in Ireland, including the Sim Fciners. Parties entering the convention, he said, would not be pledged to any policy, but every man entering would be pledged 10 do his best 10 settle the controversy. If a substantial agree ment IS reached and the convention accepts the responsibility for taking the necessary step, it is possible the government will give legislative ef- feet to the conventions conclusions.
