BR|TONS SEARCH
NEUTRAL STEAMER
STEAMER HELD UP IN PHILIPPINE
WATERS BY BRITISH
WAR VESSEL.
Incident Occurred of csraboa Island
and is Not the First Time That
Rritons Have intefered
With Shipping.

Washington. --Violation OF American
neutrality by a British torpedo boat
which held up and examined the Phil
ippine steamer Cebu within the terri
torial waters OF the Philippines was
reported to the war department Tues
day by Gvernor General Harrison.
The dispatch Immediately was trans
mitted to the state department and
will be made the subject of vigorous
protest to Great Britain.
The incident occurred one mile and
a half off Carabao island. According
to the report of the steamers master
Lieutenant Bales. commanding II. M.
S. destroyer No 2. boarded the Cebu,
made inquiries about her passengers
and took both the ships manifest and
her passenger list. Apparently the Of
ficer was searching for a man named
Badly, who was not found.
On releasing the Cebu, the lieuten-
ant made this note on her log:
Boarded at $3.50 a. m, 9-11-16, ex.
amined and passed"
There has been more than one COM
plant about the activity of the British
vessels around the Philippines and
while Governor General Harrison's re-
port furnishes the basis for a specific
protest ii is probably that Great Brit
ain will be called upon to restrict the
operations OF her patrolling squadron
generally in and near the territorial
waters of the islands.

Certain-teed
Roofing

takes its place in the sun" and holds it longer
than other similar roofing, because it is made
of the very best quality roofing felt, thoroughly
saturated with the correct blend of soft asphalts,
and coated with blend of harder asphalts.
This outer coating keeps the inner saturation
soft, and prevents the drying out process SO
destructive to the ordinary roof.
The blend of asphats used by The General
is the result of long experience. Ii produces
roofing more pliable than those which have
less saturation, and which are, therefore,
harder and drier.
At each of the Generals big mills, expert
chemists are constantly employed to refine,
test and blend the aspbalts used; also to expert
ment for possible Improvements. Their constant
endeavor is TO make the best roofing still better.
The quality of CERTAIN-TEED is such that
IL is guaranteed for S, 10 or IS years, according
to thickness Il, 2 or 3ply). Experience proves
that it lasts longer. Behind this guarantee is the
responsibility of the worlds largest manufac-
turer of roohnes and building papers.

makes bread enough to feed all the
English prisoners in Germany and a

besides. That's being economical for
you, Birsky."
"Say, economical" Louis Birsky, the

they shoot them English prisoners

starving them to death?"
"What are you talking nonsense

he made all kinds of tests from his

one ten-thousandth of an inch thick,
and he also cut a slice of regular
bread not quite so thick, y'understand,
and he looks at them both through a
microscope, y'understand, and he
couldn't tell them apart. He then
takes loaf of mattress bread and a
loaf of regular bread and burns 'em
up in an electric furnace at tempera-
ture of 1854 degrees Fahrenheit, and
the ashes from one bread is the same
as the ashes from the other bread. He
then goes to the top of 14-story
building and drops a loaf of mattress
bread and loaf of regular bread, and
