Ice. At the present time they are paid

Beginning with his telegram to tl-c
Old Guard at the Chicago convention,
on through the adjectival length of the
letter of acceptance, and thus far
1 throughout his speeches Judge Hughes
has been against everything and for
nothing definite enough to be roped
and branded.
Bidding for the German vote he de-
plores the sale of munitions-but he
doesn't say he would stop, it if he
were president Since his hackers
are the munition makers he probably
would not.
Bidding for the anti-German vote he
deplores the Lusitaaia matter, but he
doesn't say he would have broken re-
lations with Germany. Since he says
this nation is as weak as sick cat,
he probably wouldn't.
Deploring the invasion of Belgium,
he doesn't say that he would have
backed protest with our navy. Since
he says we have practically no navy
he probably would not
Saying that our present army sys-
tenn is no good, he does not say he is
for compulsory military service. Since
Col. Roosevelt broke his political pick
on that issue, the judge probably
would not try it
He says Huertas personal and po-
litical morals are of no concern to |
America. He doesn't say whether he |
would have recognized Madero's as
sassin. Since he doesn't object to the
political morals of the Old Guard,
however, he probably would have.
Complaining about Intervention in
Mexico, hee doesn't say he would in
tervene Since his chief Mexican adj
wiser is Henry Lane Wilson, however,
he probably would.
Complaining against President Will
sons shipping BILL he doesn't say he
is for ship subsidy graft. A glance
at the personnel of his campaign COM
however, would indicate that
he probably would be.
He is against the federal reserve
bill, but he doesn't say what change :
he is for.
AS governor of New York he was c
against the income tax, but he doesn't
say he is for raising the billions for a
from higher taxes on SUI d
gar and the \necessaries of life. In
But he DID say one thing that sheds a
much light. He said in his Chicago
speech: r

If elected president he will without
doubt try to become 100 per cent c
statesman. a
But now, being candidate, he has E
no suggestions as to what should be

ply and enthusiastically against every

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 a blend of harder asphahs.
This outer coating keeps the inner saturation
soft. and prevents the drying out process so
destructive to the ordinary roof.
The blend of asphalts used by The Generar'
is the result of long experience. 1t 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 rehne,
test and blend the asphalts used; also to expert
ment for possible Improvements. 1 heir constant
endeavor is to make the best roofing still better

Special to Tic Telegraph

New York. April 1S.-When stock
holders of the United States Steel
Corporation examined the stock record
books at the annual meeting in Ho-
boken yesterday, they found one signi-
ficant development that has come out
of the European war.

as OF March 81, the books showed, ag-
gregated 6S4, ,469 shares, compared
with 1.2S5,636 shares on March 81,

Europe and Asia in two years had cut
foreign investment in the junior Steel
issue almost exactly in half
Another development since the pre-
ceedlng annual meeting was the
shrinkage in the number of stock
holders. At the end of March the
books contained the names of 41,91O
holders of Steel common, compared
with 56,S25 year before the decrease
being 26 per cent The change was
in line with past history or the cor
poration' stock, as the records show
that on several occasions the number
of share owners decreased on rising
