Cement Trust'' Is Alleged, IA
 Being Indicted
Firms Form Associations, Shamming Purposes, Says
 Federal Grand Jury

NEW YORK. March 1.--Indictment were handed down today by the spec ial federal grand jury Investigating an alleged building material combine against "A corporations and 40 indiyi- duals comprising an alleged cement trust"
 The indictments contained two counts charging violation of the Sher- man antitrust law, one alleging com bination and restraint of trade ana the other monopolies and attempts to monopolize.
 The indictments alleged that the cement combination has formed as sociations and bureaus throughout the country ostensibly to quote prices as to completed transactions, and for the purpose of 'recopmending" uniform trade practices. The evidence indi- cates, the indictments said, that the ostensible purpose of these associa- tions are merely sham and that the so-called quotations of past transac- tions are used as means of fixing a common price.
 The government alleged that the combination had been brought about through activities of the five or six dominant cement companies, and that their influence in the trade has been so great as to make it easy either to persuade or coerce other cement companies to follow their lead.
 The government accused the Ce- ment Securities company, a western concern, of monopolizing it's industry in the Rocky mountain states and dominating the mills in California, the northwest and Texas. This com pany, government representatives said, recently merged with the Port land Cement company.
 The indictment papers further charged that inspectors are employ

PARIS, March 1-Everything is ready along that part of the Rhine held by the French for a jump for ward on short notice should the occa- sion arise, the Associated Press was informed tonight. In the words of a high official of the war office. Mar shal Foch has but to say the word.''
 Counter Proposals Amaze
 The German counter proposals ere ated nothing short of amazement here. Advance information regarding the propositions to be submitted by Dr. Simons, German foreign minister, as received here, was that the pro- poSalS were more reasonable and might form the basis of discussion. The concensus of opinion this eve ming, however, was that no discussion was possible.
 Popular feeling is greatly aroused and the opinion is expressed that France has waited long enough and that the, movement of troops into Germany would meet with smaller opposition from the opponents of the government now than at any other time.

 Satisfaction is also expressed at the British premier's attitude, which is mentioned as showing deep resent ment" toward the Germans over their counter proposals. If forcible coercion i'ecomes, necessary, officials feel that it will have the mor- al support of all the allied countries, as well as the United States.
 It is not expected that an order to go forward would come before tomor- row night at the earliest, at it is pre- sumed the Germans will be given a fi- nal opportunity to recede from the position taken today
 The Associated Press was informed from Belgian sources today that Bel gium is ready to follow Frances lead.
 During the last three days, 13,000 Belgian tropos on-the Rhine have been reinforced by two divisions while the French have 150,000 men there with 200, GOO in reserve, less than A hours away.

The adjournment under senate rules would displace the naval bill from its place on the cal endar for the first two hours of the morrow's session, during which Sen ator Jones said supporters of the bonus bill for ex-seryice men would seek to advance that measure. On roll call the adjournment proposal was defeated. 2S to 16, and the senate recessed, continuing the naval bill In its privileged position.
 Talk Behind Closed Doors
 The senate discussed relations be- tween the United States and Japan for two hours behind closed doors, but the situation as presented by Re publican leaders failed to shake oppo- sition, to the naval appropriation bill
 Motion for the secret session was made by Senator Lodge. RepItiioan leader and chairman of the senate foreign relations committee. He in- terrupted q long open debate by ex- pressing hope that the measure would be passed by this congress and add ing that there were some angles which should not be discussed in public.
 When the galleries had been clear ed. Senator Lodge was understood to have presented new information re garding controversies between the United States and Japan other than that over the California alien land laws. One matter said to have been discussed was the island of Yap, over which Japan holds mandate The United States has protested against this mandate to the league of nations council and also has taken the sub ject up with Japan. Several senators were reported to have expressed the view that the controversy over the island was certain to become a seri- ous and delicate problem in the near future.
 Would Warn Japan
 Senator Lodge was said to have de- clared Nhat in view of the controversy NiAn Japan tthu HOoitlOli VI tllC United States in world affairs, this country should continue it's naval pro gram. He also was reported to have emphasized the desirability of advis- ing Japan that the United States was ready to, spend millions of dollars to protect its interests in the Pacific.
 Senator Williams. Democrat of Mississippi. challenged the position taken by Lodge. He was said to have used bitter sarcasm in criticising the closing of the doors and characterized the Japanese relations argument as a "bugaboo." He ana others were re- ported to have promised to repeat in open session the discussions.
 Relations with Japan were brought into the discussion before the secret session. Senator Poindexter. in urg ing passage of the pill. said with re- gard to Yap. that after it is too late to protect American interests, we be- gin to assert our rights and added that the United States is confronted with a critical situation in our for eign relations"
