Novelty in Plaster Walls

From Southern California's New Archi-
 tecture, by Elmer Grey, in Architec-
 ture .(Charles Scribner's Sons, New York.
 On the outside of the house the teS-~re of the plaster is a notably successful feature. Beach pebbles, sfted to a small and uniform size,' were thrown upon the walls when the plaster was sat, each ohe thus producing it's own little bullet hole, so to speak. In conformity with the proximity of the house to the Mexican border it's exterior treatment shows marked Mexican feeling, this con- sisting of broad plain wall surfaces con- of the principal door and window open ings. The ornament has been carefully studied for the effect upon it of light and shade, and the result is. correspond ingly good, such Mexican enrichment when well done having often been likened unto lace work. The roof is covered with the same tile of remarkable color. These characteristics taken all together the in- teresting plaster texture occasioned by the dashed beach pebbles, the richly orn- amented entrances and the varied and c0lorful roof surfaces combine in form ing a striking and effective exterior Whether house planned as this one is with it's principal rooms facing the ocean and it's opposite side surrounding a patio facing a garden, is any less homelike than one of different type could have been in such a situation may be a mat ter of opinion; but certainly considering the historical associations which cling to Coronado and it's vicinity the event.

Presidential Styles

r l.. in the New Republic.
 All observers would agree, I suppose, if they were asked to go over the list of presidents since Lincoln, and to pick out the three who had put into action as President the strongest wills, in choosing Cleveland, Roosevelt and Wilson. Yet you cannot say that the style of any of the three is strong mans style. None is rich in rugged maxims hewn from life President Roosevelt wrote and spoke like strong man now and again in spots, but in the mass his style is too wordy, too proliX, too desperately emphatic to be strong. He found expression as much tee easy as President Cleveland found it
 impossible Something said of another writer by Charles Whibley is true of Pres
 dent Roosevelt-he seldom used a sen- tence if a page would do as we'll" Presi- dent Wilson is a conscious artist in words which of course President Roosevelt and President Cleveland were not-but strength is not one of the marks at which his art aims. His style is too gracefully conscious of his audience for strength, too supnily persuasive, too nicely lubri- cated, too smooth.

 STAb|l|zINC PLAN
 OF BOARD ILLEGAL
Attorney General Palmer
 Gives Ruling for Score tary Redfield.

Washington, May 10.-The aban- doned price stabilizing plan of the department of commerce's industrial
 board was declared unauthorized by law" in an opinion of Attorney Gen.
 eral Palmer to Secretary Redfield, dated April 1st, previous to the resig- nation of the board and made public today.
 The plan was held to be illegal by the attorney general on the ground that in constituted price fixing among
 producers in violation of antitrust acts, situation which was not changed in legal aspect by participa- tion of the industrial board, an agency not created by statute. The
 attorney general also held purchases by the government must be on the basis of competitive bids.

 Hines and the industrial board over

 may exist as to the wisdom of the
 established policy, said the attorney
 general, congress by various anti trust acts "has ordained the competi-

 in authorizing associations in foreign
 trade congress expressly reaffirmed that policy.
 "What congress thus has established

 TO GET TOTALS
Like Others. Fifth Loan Jumped Above Victory Mark on Last
 Day of Drive.

Washington, May 1O.-The fifth and last popular war loan of the United l States has been over-subscrcibed. Although the approximate total sub
 scriptions will not be known for near i ly two weeks. figures available to- ! night showed that the American peo- pie had responded generously to the
 apeal to Finish the iob.''
 Like al of it's predecessors, the Victory Liberty Loan suddenly jump
 ed on the last day of the campaign above the mark set as it's limit. The , day brought a.l avalanche of sub scripton. which banks could not at tempt to count until next week, None of today's harvest was includ- ed in the total of $3,849, ,63S 900 sub scriptions officially tabulated tonight by the treasury and officials would
 not be surprised to see the final fig ures go to nearly six billions. Only $4 300 ,O00, ,O00 will be accepted. Compare With Fourth. The only2 gauge by which officials could attempt to estimate subscrip- tions not yet tabulated, was provided by the record of the fourth liberty loan, when 2,392,0O0,O0o was re- ported after the subscription drive had ceased
 Official figures tonight showed
 that the Minneapolis. St. Louis, and Cleveland Districts had alreaGy rais-
 ed more than 100 per cent and the Chicago district reported that it's quota had certainly reached that
 mark, although tabulation of figures to support the claim could not be completed.

 Louis District.

Although Jefferson county went over the top last week in the Victory Liberty loan, subscriptions are com ing every day, swelling the total for end of the week to $1,160,350, total of $37,7OO over the assigned quota.
 The eighth district has been given three captured German cannon which will be given to the three counties in the district subscribing the largest amounts over their quotas. w.. w. Taylor, chairman fthe Jefferson county campaign, stated last night that there were but six counties ahead of Jefferson, and the chance to get one of these cannon remained open until Monday night.

Washington, May 10.-Arrval at Trepassey, Bay N. F., of two of the three American navy seaplanes whihe started from Rockaway, N. Y., on the transatlantic flight, insures the suc- cess of the whole enterprise, in the opinion of naval officers here. When the report reached the navy depart ment tonight, that the second of the planes, the NC-3, had reached Ire passey Bay in today's flight from Halifax, after it had been forced to turn back because of broken pro- peller, officers were unable to con- ceal their deep satisfaction.
 The third plane, the NC-4, was still at Chatham light, Mass, tonight re- fitting to continue the trip to Ire passey bay. Lieutenant Commander Read in charge of the plane may get sarted tomorrow, and it was generally expected at the navy department that the actual passage across the Allan tic via the Azores would not be at tempted until the NC-4 also reached the New Foundland jumping off place Arrangements have been completed by the navy department to insure ade. quate weather seposts for the entire cours.
 It may be some days before the men and machines at Trepassey Bay are ready for the long flight to the Azores, 1900 to 1900 nautical miles distant The nearest landing point to New Founderland is Horta. on the island of Fayal, but Punta Del Gado, 15O miles father eastward, will be reached if possible.
 Remarkable Flight.
 The NC-1. commanded by Com. mander Bellinger is considered as having made remarkable flight from Roikaway to Trepassey Bay covering just 1000 miles. The tota flying time for the plane over this course was six minutes less than 1s hours, or an average of more than

LEGION DEMANDS 7.
 ACTION AGAINST
 ALL RADICALS
Oppose Leniency Toward Objectors and Draft
 Evaders.

St. Louis, Mo-. May 10.-The Amer ican Legion at the final session of it's
 three-day national caucus today firm
 ly declared it's stand on Americanism
 by demanding that congress take inn
 mediate drastic action concerning the
 l. w. w., international socialists,
 aliens who evaded military service,
 and the action of the war department
 granting honorable discharges to
 conscientious objectors convicted in
 courts-martial of violating the articles
 of war.
 The caucus of the newly formed
 organization of soldiers, sailors and
 marines who served in the war. was
 repeatedly thrown into wild riot of
 cheering and yelling by denunciation
 of military service evaders and rad ical organizations, voiced by delegates
 from all parts of the country.
 The greatest demonstration came
 when Major Richard Foster of Kan
 sas City, member of the general court
 which convicted 135 conscientious ob-
 jectors at Camp Funston, Kans., of
 violation of the articles of war, de-
 nounced the war department and "the man responsible" for pardOning these men and granting them honor able discharges with full back pay. Would Dep0rt Aliens. The resolutions on the questions demanded that congress deport all aliens who surrendered first papers to evade military service; all aliens now interned or pardoned; all other men who evaded service; condemned the I. w. w. and international so- cialists for their efforts in behalf of the objectors and asked the immediate investigation of the action of~the war department in pardoning the con scientious objectors.
 The biggest surprise of the caucus came when the delegates, by vote
 which virtually was unanimously de- feated a resolution calling on con pay at the rate of $30 month to every enlisted man who served in the war for six months or more The resolutions had been passed unanim-
 Ously in the resolutions committee and
 was designed to make an especial plea to the enlisted man.
 Previous to the session today it was generally conceded that it would meet with no opposition on the floor, but when it came to a vote, Lieut.. Col Roosevelt opposed it and his sen- timent seemed to be reflected by all the delegates Colonel Roosevelt's s : opposition was on the ground that the legion should put something into the government and not take some thing out"

TREATY DOES NOT GIVE FRANCE ANY
 SECURITY -b|D0U
Is Impossible to Defend Frontier in Event of De-
 fensive War.

Paris. May 1O.-The military clauses of the peace treaty do not give France any security, in the view of Henri Bidou, the military critic of the Journal Des Debats. He says they p;ve France the frontier of 1870, which is the frontier made agalnst her in 1915.
 All military writers between those two dates, Bidou continues, mann tained that neither the frontier nor Metz was capable of defense in case of q defensive war and that the French forces would have to fall back on established positions in the region of Nancy as in the present war. To support this view M. Bidou quotes several French and Germans writers. He also says that the treaty gives Belgium no more security than It gives France. . As to the 30 miles demilitarized zone east of the Rhone, he adds, it IS of no protection because German covering troops could cross and seize the passages of the Rhine and establish strong bridgeheads at the f;rst sipns of war before the French could stop them.
 M. Bidou says it is hard to see how limitation of the members of the German army can be enforced. He de clares that everyone knows that by permitting Germany lOO,OOO seasoned troops. she will be given the nucleus around which the entire nation car gather. V
