TO Speed SHIP BUILDING.
LEADERS OF BOTH PARTIES
PLEDGE SUPPORT TO PRESI.
DENTS PLANS.
Half Billion ollaIs is Needed to Put
Into Execution Wilson's Scheme Of
Construction of Many Ships to Com.
bat U.bOat Menace.

Washington, May 9.-Leaders of
both parties in congress at a confer
ence with President Wilson today
promised to support the administra-
tons billion dollar ship building pro-
gramme. Bills will be introduced
immediately to give the shipping
board $500,000,O00 for construction of
great steel and wooden cargo fleet
TO run the German undersea block,
ade, and the remainder of the money
VIII be appropriated whenever needed.
The billion dollars asked for ship
building is q mere trif1e compared with
what the allies are spending in con.
duct of the war;" said Chairman Dem
man of the shipping board after the
conference. 1T may be far below the
amount we shall have to spend for
chips before the war is over. The
board aims to produce all the ship
ping American yards can turn out at
forced speed and ask for more money
Wien the billion is exhausted"
The shipping measures will be com.
pieted within a few days. They would
empower the government to take over
ship yards and the output of steel
mile If necessary but the admins
tration believes such a power viii not
have to be exercised,
The shipping board plans to clear
ship yards of construction actually
under way. then to let contracts for
standardized steel cargo vessels, all
built alike and of design permitting
minimum time for completion.
Building operations will be under
the direction Of Mai. Gen. George w.
Goethals. manager of the boards
emergency ship corporation, who also
has charge of the wooden shipbuilding
programme. The present corporation
will let contracts for steel ships also.
The board is empowered to operate
ships itself or to charter or lease
them. 1t probably will charter both
steel and wooden vessels to private
concerns for operation.
David l. Ewing, a st. Louis rail-
way man. was appointed by the board
today as director OF traffic for the
Emergency Ship corporation. He will
direct delivery and shipment OF sup
plies for ship yards. and later will
supervise the work of supplying
cargoes.

erybody put up as much Of such pro .
ducts as they possibly could. She ad-

ARGENTINA A STRONG ALLY
Regarded Far More Valuable Than
Spain to United States and Other
Nations Fighting Germany.

When the congress of Argentina
voted to sever relations with Germany
the people of the most powerful neu-
trail left in the ranks of the pacifsts
showed their determination to ioin the
allies. Argentina could work more good
to the allies than could Spain. Her
war potentially is greater, for while
her army is only $4,000 strong, COM
pared to the 100000 which Spain main
tains, according to a publicist, her
wealth far surpasses that of the older
nation. Argentina is young, strong.
clean-limbed. Spain is old, fuddled
and doddering.
The South American republic was
the last dangerous nation whose people
turned against the kaiser Its entrance
into antagOnism to TeutOnism would
mark the final and browning blunder of
German diplomacy.
None of the passive nations could
give the allies so much in the way Of
vital help as could Argentina. After
the United States, her sympathy and
determined support are more to be
valued by the democratic powers than
any other uncontrolled nation. Now
she is girding her loins to follow her
great Northern sister into the good
work.
Argentina's population is only S,OOO,-
600, in comparison to the 100000 of
Spain, but her manhood is developing
while SPANS is anything but aggres-
sive. Her character is made of cOSmo-
politan forces, the best and hardest of
the adventurous races.

BATTLE FIELD DEATH TEST
Minimum Quantity of SO Per Cent So.
luton of Dionn Recommended to
Academy of Medicine.

Uncertainty as to whether a person
be alive or dead is especially great on
the battlefield, and prompt decision in
such cases is far more important than
in civil life, writes a correspondent at
the front. DIR. A. Terson has Just
recommended to the French Academy
of Medicine a new test, those already
known having proved insufficient. The
best of these latter has been the injec-
ton Of fuorescein, as devised by Icard.
But even this is uncertain, for in some
cases men who are still alive do not
show the green coloratiOn of the
whites of their eyes following injec-
ton, which the test is supposed to
produce.
DR.. Terson recommends placing in
the eye a minute quantity of a SO per
cent solution of dionin (ethyl-mOr-
phine), glycerine. If death has already
taken place, nothing happens, but if
the man has the slightest trace Of
life still in him the white of his eyes
will Immediately turn purplish-red and
swell, but this Inflammation will disap'
pear rapidly and leave no i'll effect.

DIVES and Worms.

In order to determine the action OF
dyes when taken into the system, n. A.
Cobb of the United States department
of agriculture, selected for experiments
the tiny worms called ncmatOdes. 1t Is
well known that certain of the aniline
dyes have peculiar affinities for GER
tain sorts of living cells, observes
chemist, so Mr.. Cobb tried various
dyes on these worms and watched their
action under microscope. He found
that different organs received different
dyes, so that he was able to tint the
internal apparatus Of the nematodes
in several colors and thus watch them
clearly under his microscope. And he
discovered some strange facts, not the
least of which is that the dyestuffs IN
dergo q chemical action in the crea-
lures body to such an extent that you
can never tell what color your dye VIII
produce until you have tried 1t. An
other fact of great Importance Is that
he has round that different granules
Of the same cell absorb different dyes
and manifestly perform different roles
