JNO.S. LINDSAY
Secretary
DUVltetMW from Russia Indicate
material Improvement hi "Mt whole
situation, ami the outlook is now more
i cantoning. There bm been more dU-1
coflj about the treaties of tlw ??W rw- j
glum with different government# than
butane or any other consideration.
When Prof, Paul N. Mllukoff, tha for
uu*r foreign minister, without consult
IiiK aii.vlMHly, undertook to assure the
other allien that Hussta would Uve up
to all pruviuu* obligations, the work
ing men's ami soldier's delegaten
hhari?ly dissented. They seemed to
bar that MilukolT's assurance would
commit the country to all the existing
treaties. Mllukoft resigned ax foreign
minister ami Gutchkotr resigned a?
minister of war. Along with dutch
klfT three commanding generals sent
tu their 'resignations. The cabinet wan
shortly afterward reorganised with
I'rluco Lyvoft as premier; A. F. Ke'
reiisky, former minister of justce, as
minister of war, and M. Te resell t en ko,
as foreign minister. The three com
manding generals reconsidered their
resignations, and now it is understood
all along the line that there Is to Ih* iio
.separate jn-ace, although the country
is still claiiiorlng for the publication of
all the treaties of the old regime with
foreign countries. The majority holds
I that the publication of these treaties
would be ruinous. For several weeks
the tr?M>|H on various lines hud l>eeii
fraternising with the Germans; but
duting the past few day* lighting has
liven resumed. Minister Kerensky
says there will be no more foolishness
and that Iftinsla will do her full duty
from now on. It Is reasonably certain
that It was iiecuuse of the recent ar
m 1st Ire that Germany was able to
transfer .so many troojis ; but now
it la believed that there can Ik* no more
of tiiis; that the Germans will have to
go back to the Rusxinn lines or the
Russians will ho011 make substantial
advance*.

ATLANTA HAH WJUi FIKK

ed In Moorgla Capitol.
Atlanta, May 21.?Fire tfiat owopt
through approximately 7ft block* In
the reslduuce hmIIuii of Atlauto from
Decatur ?trevt uorth-northeaMtward
to Pone de 1 x'dii avenue late today
canned a I ohm that Mayor Candler to
ulKht estimated at One
woman, Mrn. Bftwlv IIcmIkw. dlwl of
shock and tH? were treated for uilnor
hurts.
Froui ii,5<K> to iJ.000 homes wore
destroyed according to Mayor Cand
ler and others who tourwl the Ut
tered tohe around the burned dis
trict late tonight, i The home* ranged
from til in >?y negro cahius to handaoute
r?*?idences along l'oue de Leon val
ued at $10,000 or more each. Many
homes In this beautiful residence aoc
Hon were destroyed by dynamite
which finally conquered the fiames af
ter the lire department aided by lire
lighters from a half dozen nearby cities
had failed.
There were few reports of l<H>tlng
and the only arrest made up to late
at night was that of a man charged
with attempting to steal a piano.
Throughout the burned area, which
iu some place* was only a block wide
and In others ranged to several blocks,
hundreds of fires smouldered long
after midnight. The wind that blow
lu a gale this afternoon and nweirt
the Ha men over the #treets of water
that lire lighters threw up, had died
down laet tonight, however, and.both
Mayor Candler and Fire Chief Oody
expressed .the opinion that there yvaa
no further danger. One reason plat
the tire gained such headway was that
iiremen were lighting a blaze in \ye?t
Knd, a residence Section across t#wn
from the big tire, that broke out ?bprt
ly after noon. There were several oth
er small tires In the afternoon and
these led to reports of incendiarism.
For six hours dynamite was resort
ed to and It finally won the tight.
Fighting ap/iratus sent from other
cities was of some aid and will be
of more as acre after acre of snioul-I
derlng ruins tonight await water to
make them safe.
Approximately 75 blocks were de-1
stroyed but the area can not be cor- |
rectly estimated by blocks, as after
the light at Ponce de r^eon avenue j
the flames skirted that thoroughfare j
on the south side of the street for
some distance.
The fire started In the Skinner Stor
age and Warehouse plant near De
atur street, just east of Forth street,
from a cause not determined tonight.
It quickly spread to the small houses,
nearby which were dry from lack of
rain, and, driven by a high wind#
started rapidly to eat Its way nor^h
and northeastward.
The Anderson county grand jury
last week returned a "no bill" In the
