Meerschaum as Building Material,

Even the most esthetically inclined
of our American millionaire would
hardly consider the luxury Of living in
a residence built of meerschaum as
within the range Of their fort ines, yet
there are many unpretentious houses
of this material in the Spanish town
of Vallecas, near Madrid where a
coarse variety of this substanc may
be found. Oddly enough, just across
the straits are the Moroccuns, who
have discovered that still another va

DOORS ARE CLOSED FOR DEBATE

Washington, d. c., May TO give
administration leaders opportunity to
explain the reasons for their insistence
on the embargo and newspaper censor
ship sections of the administration es-
pionage bill the senate closed its doors
today when 1t took up that measure.
Senators understood the government
has information to show that under
present conditions information of a
military value is getting to the enemy
and that the censorship section would
stop 1t. Retention Of the embargo
section was supported by facts show
ing that despite all precautions sup.
plies are getting into Germany through
neutral countries.
Senator Martin, the democratic
leader, told senators President Wilson
had called him to the white house and
said he would be embarrassed in deal
ing with the question of supplies get
ting into Germany if the senate passed
the embargo section as amended with
restrictions last week.

ALIENS OFFER
TO JOIN ARMY
CITIZENS OF ALLIED COUNTRIES
WOULD FORM FOREIGN
LEGioNS HERE.

Washington, D. c., May 7-One of
the difficult problems in putting the
army on war footing is the DISPOSE
ton of aliens In the United States, un-
naturalized and still citizens or sub
jects of the entente powers. who wish
to fight under the American flag. Ap-
plications are pouring into the war de-
partment from individuals and COM
mittees. In most cases they seek per
mission to join the United States army
in units from companies to legions.
The war department prefers the
men return to the countries of their
origin to serve in their armies but al
though most Of them have seen mill
tary service and are now reservists
they insist on serving under the Amer
ican flag. Were they content to enlist
as individuals they might easily do so
by simply making declaration of in
tention to become American citizens
as preliminary to enlistment But
for the most part with little or no
knowledge Of the English language,
and with strong racial affiliations
these aliens wish to serve together in
units under their own officers.

RAIL N|AGNATES
DEMANDH|GHER R
FREIGHT RATES
Officials Of Eastern Lines
Assert the Proposed 1879
Increase Is Necessary
SHIPPERS TO FIGHT
ORDER FOR ADVANCE

Washington, D. c., May Railroad
presidents told the interstate com
merce commission today that the roads
need an advance of 15 per cent in
/ freight rates not only to meet the In
creased cost of everything that enters
into railroad operation but also 80
that the systems may prepare physical
ly to do their bit toward winning the
war
The increase asked for, the commits
sion was told, would not entirely meet
the rising costs the roads face. In New
England, 1t was asserted, it will not
meet the increase in the yearly coal
bills. Everywhere executives declared
the railroad systems face the decreas-
ing value Of the dollar.
Today and probably two more days
will be given to hearing the railroad
arguments and then the case Of the
shippers will be heard.
Shippers who oppose the in
creases were represented today by
counsel who intended later to show
