Meersohaum as Building Material.

Even the most esthetically inclined
of our American millionaires would
hardly consider the luxury of living in
a residence built of meerschaum as
within the range of their fortunes, yet
there are many unpretentious houses
of this material in the Spanish town
of Vallecas, near Madrid, where a
coarse variety Of this substance may
be found. Oddly enough, just across
the straits are the Moroccans, who
have discovered that still another va
riety of meerschaum lathers freely and
makes a good substitute for the ordi-
nary toilet soap.-Popular Science

ALLIES TO RUSH

Ultimatum to Athens Fore
casts Drive on Berlin-COn-

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1s.--The text OF
the recent allied ultimatum to Greece.

its information to-day by Charge Vouros
Of the Greek Legation, reveals that the
Allies notified the Athens Government
in the communication chat military
necessity may lead them shortly to dis
embark troops ut 1tea for passage by
railroad to Salonica."
This portion of tho ultimatum, not
mentioned in press dispatches coming to
this country through the allied censor
ship, Is regarded here as highly signifi-
cant, possibly forecasting a much greater
concentration OF allied troops in northern
Greece for a drive against the Berlin
Constantinople railway line 1t con-
forms to the expectation held in several
quarters here that the Balkans soon are
to become the theatre of a more active
campaign by the Allies.
Another demand made by the ulti-
matum and not mentioned in the first
announcement cabled to this country
would require the Greek Government to
guarantee that no civilians hereafter
shall carry arms.

Rio JANEIRo, Brazil, Jan. lS.-It Ia
considered almost certain here that
the German sea raider which has

which captured the Arpam and sank
numerous Entente ships in Atlantic
waters n year ago.
The American Consul at Pernam-
buco has cabled the embassy here
confirming the landing of several
Americans from vessels which fell
victim to the raider. He added that
no American ship had been sunk by
the German craft. and that all the
American sailors landed were men
from the crews Of foreign vessels.
