Of the very best quality roofing felt, thoroughly
saturated with the correct blend of soft asphalts
and coated with a blend of harder asphaIts.
This outer coating keeps the inner saturation

destructive to the ordinary roof.
The blend of asphalts used by The General
is the result of long experience 1t produces
a 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 asphalts used; also TO expert

endeavor is to make the best roofing still better.

matter of the Fifth avenue widening
case, Moline. Objections OF the rail-

were overruled by Judge Bell, who
also ruled with the city on the ques-

tire assessment roll. He presided Tor
Judge Larson because the latter was
indirectly interested.
That the case will be Immediately
appealed. however, is certain, and
final settlement of the litigation will
not be reached for several months at
least. probably not until next summer.
Notice Of appeal to the supreme court
was at once given by attorneys for
the public utilities company.
Just what effect the appeal will
have upon the widening project is not
certain. City Attorney Johnston gave
the opinion off-hand that he believes
the city can go ahead and complete
the project, but 1t must then take the
chance of having to pay the additional
$4,000 from city funds should the
street car company succeed in winning
on the appeal.
The city of Moline has already ap-
prcpriated $4,000 for the widening
project. This was provided for in the
appropriation ordinance passed last

ASKSCEREMON|AL
PLANS Be HALTED
President of China Requests Ministers
to Cease Preparations for His
enforcement.

Picking, Feb. 20.-(Correspondence
of the Associated Press. AFTER a con-
ference with members of the cabinet,
President Yuan Shi-kai has ordered
the various ministers to discontinue
all preparations in connection with
his formal enforcement, as the GER
emony has been postponed during the
continuance of the Yunnan revolt Fur
thermore, Yuan Shi-kai has issued an
other order that all ministers and
boards must exert their fullest efforts
to expedite regular business and bet
tering governmental affairs. The man.
date of the president declares that in
spite of any trouble which may exis,
in the provinces, it is his purpose to
have the functions of the government
performed in Picking just as in normal
times.
There is much speculation among
foreigners in Picking as to when the
coronation will take place, and the
opinion is becoming general that the
ceremony will not be attempted dur
ing the present war in Europe, even
If the Yunnan revolution should be
settled
Japan's opposition to the enthrone-
ment of Yuan Shi-kai has been so in
sistent that change of policy on her
part is not expected by foreigners
resident in China
Japan is constantly reminding the
Chinese Of the troubles which exist in
various parts of China, and indicating
that they are in fulfillment of the jap
anese prophecies of disturbances in
connection with the proposed change
from a republic to monarchy.
Recently the troubles on the Mon
golian border have become more and
more acute. Opponents of the Yuan
Shi-kai administration have intimated
that the bandit outbreaks in Shensf
and Shansi provinces are part of the
revolutionary protests against the
present government. This probably is
not true, as the robbers become bad
every winter on the boundary between
the two provinces named in Mongolia.
Recently the bands of robbers, or tufei,
have become larger than in former
years and their operations are more
widespread
They have attacked and destroyed
larger towns than is usually their
practice, and within the last month
they have made raids in the north OF
Shansi province which the Chinese
army has been wholly unable to cope
with. Patseblong and Paotowchen,
two frontier towns in Mongolia, have
been looted and the operations of the
bandits extended to Saratsi, Kweiwat-
ing and a number of other training
centers in north Shansi province
French, American and Swedish mis-
sions have considerable interest in
the territory which has been raided
and the American and French minis
tiers in Picking have been active in try
ing to get better protection for the
missions in the bandit territory. The
foreign Office has repeatedly sought
the cooperation OF the army in re-
straining the outlaws, but the opera
tions Of the robbers have been so wide
that the Chinese troops have failed to
check them with any degree of sue
cess.

May Go Over "Smugglers' Trail"
There are no roads of any kind in
all this region. An ancient track,
known as the "smugglers' trail" is
used by such traffic as passes through.

country, the punitive expedition will
reach the Sierra Madre proper, a
range of mountains rising from 5000
to 10000 feet. Americans who have
penetrated these Businesses claim that
the region is the widest, most barren

Eager to Complete Project.

Immediate beginning on the widen

the condition Of the city treasury and
partly upon the attitude of the city
council. Mayor Carlson and certain
Of the commissioners are known to
be very eager to complete the project
as soon as possible and if sufficient
funds exist SO that 1t is practicable to
appropriate the additional sum neces-
sary at once it probably will be done
