"Service is the
true form of salesmanship."
Ten years ago you would
have bought a tar and gravel
roof, a tin roof, a slate or a
shingle roof, according to the
type of building you wished
to cover. Today you will buy
Certain-teed
Roofing
Ten years ago roll roofing was a
high priced specialty. Today it is
a staple at a reasonable price. And
Certain-teed Roofing made it so.
Ten years ago manufacturers and
roofing dealers both thought that
they had to have an exaggerated
profit on roll roofing—because so
little of itwas sold. Certain-teed
Roofing, bv modern manufacturing
methods and by modern selling methods,
rendered a tremendous service to roofing
users and to roofing dealers by establish
ing a reasonable pri<?e basis for better
roofing than had ever before been pro
duced—and a reasonable profit for
dealers on a bigger volume of business
than had ever before come their way.
On Monday mornings we are telling
7,000,000 readers of daily newspapers
the merits of Certain-teed Roofing—
this is service to prospective roofing
buyers in pointing the way to roofing
that is backed by a fifteen-year guarantee.
Certain-teed Roofing is sold at a rea
sonabl - price everywhere by dealers
who believe in giving unsurpassed
quality at a fair profit. The amount of
Certain-teed Roofing required for an
average roof, say ten sauares, will cost
less than $5 over the cheap mail order
grade. This small initial cost is saved
many times in the fifteen years* wear
which is covered by the manufacturer's
guarantee.
We are also advertising in farm
papers, and foreign language news
papers, reaching people who may not
read the daily newspapers.
This is our idea of service. We have
the three biggest mills—we are large
buyers of raw materials and we advertise
everywhere, because that is the cheapest
way to sell our roofing.
We share the savings of our enormous
volume with you who use roofing. We
encourage jobbers and dealers to follow
our example and sell on small margins
and depend upon the large volume of
business which is certain to result from
the best service to users of roofing.
That building of yours which requires a
roof —whether it's a factory, warehouse,
business block, farm building, residence
or any other structure—whether it's
new or old —your first thought would
be roll roofing, because Certain-teed
has put roll roofing easily within your
consideration from a price standpoint.
It has done more than that —it has put
Certain-teed Roll Roofing first in your
consideration from the standpoint of
; quality, durability and real roofing
service on the roof.

MONDAY EVENING,
DICKINSON COLLEGE
MAY HAVENEW HEAD
Criticism of President Noble's
Management Likely to Lead
Trustees to Remove Him
Special to The Telegraph
Philadelphia, Pa., April 27.-—Mem
bers of the board of trustees and grad
uates of Dickinson College at Carlisle,
Pa., are stirred by a movement which
has been started for the removal of
Dr. Edgar Noble as president of that
institution. A trustee said here last
night that this condition was the re
sult of financial difficulties the college
was facing. The situation cam* to
light yesterday with a report from
Carlisle, that members of the faculty
had come to Philadelphia for a con
ference with several of the trustees.
Criticism of DoctorNoblo as head of
the institution has been made, accord
ing to two of the trustees, and many
of those interested in the welfare of
the college has expressed the opinion
that he cannot command the financial
support which another might secure.
One member of the board said con
ditions at Dickinson certainly were not
what they should be, and hinted at a
strong opposition on the part of many
members of the board to Doctor Nob
le's continuance as head of the institu
tion.
Judge E. \V. Biddle chairman of
the board of trustees, refused to com
ment on the situation, but said that
there would be a meeting of the board
within the next few weeks. Another
member of the board said that there
had been no criticism of Doctor Nob
le's administration in scholastic mat
ters, and he felt sure that if some
other plan could be devised for streng
thening the college financially there
would be no objection to his contin
uing as head of the institution. Fie
did not believe that there had be»n
any suggestions of a successor to Doc
tor Noble 8.. far.
There are 40 members of the board
of trustees, and a meeting will be held
on May 15.
Doctor Noble will complete his third
year as President of Dickinson College
next October. He was chosen in the
fall of 1911 by a committee of the
board delegated to select a successor
to Dr. George E. Reed, who retired at
that time on a pension from the Car
negie Fund. Doctor Noble previously
was president of Gouoher College, at
Baltimore.

unable to predict just what disposition
will be made of the first troops to
land, but it is supposed that the in
fantrymen will be used in patrolling
the streets and the cavalry on the
picket lines beyond the city limits.
Naval officers welcome the relief of
the bluejacket battalions from patrol
duty ashore, as they say the men are
accustomed to the constant work of
earing for the ship and great guns and
the monotonous grind of sentry duty
is trying on them. Both bluejackets
and marines, however, are maintain
ing a wonderfully clear record for or
derly conduct ami the officers are en
thusiastic in praise of their efficiency
at any task to which they may have
been assigned.
About the central plaza of the city,
where the small park, brilliant with
tropical growths, is surrounded on two
sides by sidewalk cafes of Parisian
appearance, the scene is an animated
one from early morning until late at
night. The tables are thronged with
refugees and women of all nationali
ties from interior points and the dis- I
cussion of the probable fate of friends
and acquaintances still unheard from
occupies every group.
Many Wear Union Jocks
The gathering represents every ac
tivity in the interior of Mexico in
which Europeans have had a part and
many of the British subjects still wear
a union jack pinned to coats or dress
fronts which were put on when they
made their way to the front.
Anxiety knows no nationality. The
British and Germans fear the wrath
of the Mexican mob will make no dis
tinction between those of white skin
and that all will share the common
fate as Americans if an uprising
should occur. As the days pass and
the exodus of refugees from coast
points continues, with no reports of
violence, hope among those gathered
here is growing that loss of life will
bo averted and damage Inflicted only
in a financial sense.
Stores are Thriving
Vera Crui stores are doing a thriv
ing business supplying those who fled.
The cafes are reduced to meager bills
of fare to meet the demand. Ice is at
a premium and restaurants are striv
ing to reopen trade with truck gar
deners and dairies to the southward.
Peons are flocking to the city datlv.
their arms laden with live chickens
and eggs, carried for miles to get the
unusual prices which prevail here.
City hotel accommodations are
strained to the limit to care for the
influx of refugees and the American
officials continue to-day their efforts
to induce the women at least to go to
the United States. The steamer Mex
ico carried more than 500 when It
sailed for Galveston last night and
when enough desirous of making the
trip are gathered another ship will
follow.
Captain Stickney. of the Prairie,

500 prisoners, many of the latter most
desperate criminals. A narrew cause
way connects the forti-ss with the
shore and this is constantly guarded,
being covered by a field piece and a
machine gun, making a guard in the
fortress unnecessary.
Captain Stlckney said to-day that It
soon would be necessary to feed not
only the prisoners, but also the Mex
ican soldiers, who still bear arms in
service under their own flag.
Three flat cars loaded with work
men arrived at Tejera yesterday and
the men were immediately added to
those engaged in tearing up the rail
road track. Two miles of track have
already been removed.
Ordered to Mine Bridges
It has been learned here that Gen
eral Rublo Navarete, a relative of
Huerta. has been detailed to the work
of destroying the railroad should that
step become necessary. He has orders
to mine all bridges between the coast
and the capital as well as the tunnels
along the stretch of the road through
the mountains.
Nelson O'Shaughnessy spent a great

E. V. Weims and his son, of Win
chester, Va., former president of a

the list of those taken from a train
and held by the federals at Cordova.
Huerta Controls Roads
With the exception of the Pan-
American railway, extending from
Guatemala up the west coast to con
nection with the Tehuantepec road,
General Huerta is now operating with
his own men every railroad in Mexico
without regard to the rights of foreign
owners. He has driven away every
foreigner. The last road to be taken
over was the Tehuantepec Nacional,
connecting the Pacific and Atlantic
ports of Sallna Cruz and Coatzacoalcos.
This property is owned jointly by
the government and Lord Cowdray
and has been operated by Cowdray.
Foreigners Released
J. B. Boyd returned Sunday from
Coatzacoalcos, where he effected the
release of all foreigners who had been
arrested under Huerta's orders and
held at Rincon Antonio, the head
quarters of the road. More than fifty
foreigners had been detained, includ
ing officials of the railroad, conductors,
engineers and machinists. Boyd had
the men and their families sent to the
coast, some to the Atlantic port and
others to the Pacific port.
The Vera Cruz and Isthmus railroad
line between Tierra Blanca and Vera
Cruz is not in operation at all. The
big bridge at Boca del Rio, eight miles
from Vera Cruz, over which it enters
this city, has been dynamited.

of State Bryan and a statement was
expected later in the day relating to
the next move to be made In the situa
tion.
Soon after Secretary Bryan inform
ed President Wilson of the advices
from Mexico City that Huerta had ac
ceded to the preliminary steps in the
mediation proposals, further encour
agement in the situation came In ad
vices from Berlin that Germany,
France and Great Britain had urged
Huerta, through their diplomatic rep
resentatives in Mexico City to yield
to the American demands. When this
was communicated to the President
he was greatly pleased.
Later the German ambassador, Mr.
Von Bernstorff, informer Secretary
Bryan that his government would, sup
port the mediation proposal.
Another Refugee Train
Another cause for optimism among
Washington officials was the assur
ances from Admiral Badger that ef
forts of British and German officials
In Mexico apprehension over American
and other foreign refugees in Mexico
had been greatly dispelled. One offl- t
APRIL 27,1914.
clal dispatch from Admiral Badger to
the Navy Department declared that
the authorities jn Mexico City had
agreed to provide transportation for
jail Americans from Mexico City as far
j as Soledad, the Mexican controlled end
jof the railroad to Vera Cruz. It also
-announced th. t the first train with
250 American refugees would leave
Mexico City to-day. The conclusion
of negotiations in this connection was
gratifying to the President and Secre
tary Bryan as well as the War Depart
ment officials.
Announcement also was made to
day that Mexico refugees who are be
ing held by this government at Fort
Bliss since the battle of Ojinaga would
be transferred to Fort Wingate, New
Mexico, in order to get them away
from the border where trouble may be
expected. It is expected that Briga
dier General Bliss will start the move
ment of the exiles as soon as possible.
Mexican soldiers and camp followers
at Fort Bliss, number 5,000 and some
difficulty may be experienced In pro
curing transportation facilities.
Activity continued at the War De
partment and the Navy Department
during the day, word being expected
before night that General Funston and
the troops enroute to Vera Cruz to
reinforce the naval forces there had
reached their destination.
Efforts at mediation, however, were
the most In evidence of all other ele
ments in the crisis. It was reported
here that General Huerta had been
communicated with through private
sources before the mediation pro-
5
posals were announced by the Latin-
American dlplomates and that they
had at that time practical assurances
from close associates of the provis
ional Mexican president that he would
accept their good offices.
Success of the first step toward
mediation coupled with the apparent
efforts of the big European powers to
present war, and secure a settlement
of this problem, removed from the
situation some of the elements of ten
sion which has gripped It for several
days.
Chairman Stone of the Senate com
mittee on foreign relations who con
ferred with the President, said mem
bers of Congress would generally ap
prove of the mediation efforts.
European Influence
The adding of European Influence
to the generally sympathetic attitude
which practically all Latin-American
diplomates here have assumed to
ward the mediation idea gave many
administration officials a confident
feeling that after all Huerta mlKht bo
disposed to end the present crisis In
a way satisfactory to all concerned.
The Bolivian government through
its minister here has notified Secretary
Bryan of its great satisfaction with the
acceptance by the United States of
the proposal to mediate the difference
between the United States ar.d Mexico.
Advices received from many officials
sources from South America indicate
that the press and public of the Latin-
American countries are almost a unit
in approving of the mediation pro
gram.
