Coincident with this development, the movements of two powerful : military figures, General Feng Yu-hsiang, the overlord of Honan Province, and General Chang Tsung-chang;, deposed dictator of Shantung; are arousing anxiety, General Feng, once known as the "Christian General" is reported to be massing 30,000 troops in Western Shantung. It is presumed in some well-informed quarters here that his purpose has been to seize Shantung in the event of its evacuation by the Japanese, This report has inspired myriad rumors that General Feng intends to scver alt allegiance with the Nankin Government, and to establish his au- thority independently in Shantung after ousting both the Nationalists and revolters. Shanghai's most competent auth- crities on Far Eastern politics see one aspect of particular seriousness in the present situation. Its effect, they believe, cannot help but be in- jurious to the Sino-Japanese negotia- tions king a sett t of the Shantung question, There is a ris- Side Sanitary | WIRES PACE" NOW LOCATED NEW QUARTERS ENTERS NEW PREMISES IN CENTRAL HOTEL BLOCK Remarkable Record of Mer.| chant Who Came to Oshawa in 1910 With the opening of Mike's new '""'Better 'Ole.'" another page is turn- ed in the story of a pioneer whose success is based on the foundation of integrity and hard work. 'Mike's Place," now located 'in the Central Hotel Block is rated as the best bil- liard parlor between Toronto and Montreal, and should strike a note of pride in the heart of the owner and the devotees of the popular in- door game, Aubrui Llewllyn Boakley, known to all as "Mike" came to Oshawa from Lancashire, England, in 1906, and started work the day after his arrival in the McLaughlin Carriage Works, where he got his nickname of Mike, from his fellow workers and chiefly from Wm, (Billie) Clark. Enlisting with the 116 Bat. C.E.F., in 1915, he seryed three years and five months overseas, Start In Business On his return from France. Mike started in business for himself with a two scat shoe shine parlor, situat- ed on King St. E., moving from there to Art Germond's Barber Shop, where he was given the ap- pointment of issuing the motor Ve- hicle permits and licenses, In the year 1920 it was necessary to move again and under the old Grand The- atre, now the site of Felt's Jewelry Store, was the place of his then new stand. In this place there were no less than six boys shining shoes in-luded in the six being three of this pioneer's sons. His next move was to the familiar place on King St. West, where space permitted billiard tables and the popularity of the place and its proprietor in- crcased with the years to such an extent as to necessitate the last crowning achievement, the format opening of which takes place on Saturday of this week. A Remarkakle Record Since Mike's arrival in Oshawa there are seventy people here that are directly related to him in the persons of his brothers, sisters, other relations and their families, and their living here can easily be! of "Mike" traced to the success himself in Oshawa. The New Place The "Better Ole" is a place to be compared with only the best recrea- tion centres, and contains nine new tables in a well lighted room that will give the players every conveni- ence and -comfort that is possible to make a good game better. This, coupled with a counter that is equipped to carry a larger variety of cigars, cigarettes and smokers sundries, will enable Mike to serve his patrons better and maintain his same standard of cleanliness and efficiency.

There's a disturbance in the at- mosphere over the Maritimes that is causing unsettled weather down there, but since local winds are from the west and north-webt, it probably won't effect us.

Dr. Kaiser stressed the importance of the automobile in the national. life of today, and said that a transcem- tinental highway should be construef- ed as a national rather than a provin- cial project. The debate in which Dr, Kaiser was speaking was on a resolu- tion of Mr. Keller, member for Ath- abaska, as follows: "Whereas the need for establish- ment of national highways is greater than in 1919; And whereas in that vear the Do- minion government recognized its re- sponsibility in the matter by a sub- stantial grant, which grant is now cxhausted ; Therefore he it resolved that in the opinion of this house the gov- ernment should consider the advise ibility that a further federal grant be made to cover the next five years' development of highway construc tion. An amendment had also been mo- ved, reading: "That the last ten words of the resolution, namely, "to cover the next five years' development of highway construction" be struck out and the following substituted therefor: "to consiruct as expeditiously as possible from coast to coast an all- Canadian highway."
