Teutonic (lovernnnaent Invited All Belligerent Powers to Ener into a Von -binding Dlrcusadon With a View to Bringing War to an End -Germany Has Offered "Cote queror's Terms" to Belgium. WASHINGTON, D.C., Sept. 17. - Tb. United btatee, as was fully ex- pected, has uncouditlonally rejected German's peace feeler. In doing loos the Government has spoken for all the eorbelllgerents. Almost immediately after receiv- ing the Austrian Government's note from the Minister from Sweden, Mr. Ekengren, Secretary Lansing last night issued this formal state- ment : "1 am authorized by the President to state that the following will be the reply of this Government to the Austro-Hungarian note proposing an unomclal conference of belligerents: 'The Government of the United States feels that there is only one reply which 11 can make to the sug- gestion of the Imperial Austro-Hun- garian Government. It bas repeat- edly and with entire candor stated the terms upon which the United States would consider peace, and can and will entertain ne proposal for a conference upon • matter concerning which it has made its position and purpose so plain." M7. Lansing's statement was given out within halt an hour after be had received the Austrian pro- posal. It would have been forthconl• Ing almost Immediately upon the de- livery of the Austrian note bad it not been found neeespry to order to avoid the poeeibllity of grave error to make a careful comparison be- tween the official text and that which was received in area despatches last night from Amsterdam. Thus, eui- phaela was added to the decision, if any were needed, the quickness of the reply indicating the, existence of no shadow of doubt in the mind of the Administration as to what it should be. The Austro-Hungarian Govern- ment issued 1ta..omvsal Invitation on Saturday, suggesting that all ,belli- gerent Governments should enter try to non-binding discussions at eomt neutral meeting place with a view to bringing about peace. The Austro-Hungarian Govern- ment states that (be object of the conference would tee to secure an ez- Change of views which would show "whether those pre -requisites exist which would make the speedy in- auguration of peace negotiations ap- pear promising." The Government announces 'that a note et:.bodying its suggestions had been addressed to the various belligerent powers, and that the Holy See had been apprised of the proposal in a special note. The Gov; ernments of the pp utral states also had been made al-Quelnted with t'he proposal. The proposal calls for all the bel- ligerents to send delegates to a "confidential and unbinding discus- sion on the basic principles for the conclusion of peace, in a place In a neutral country and at a near date that would yet have to be agreed upon." The proposal says the conference would be one of "delegates who would be charged to make known to one another the conception of their Governments regarding those prin- ciples. and to receive analogous com- munications, as well as to request and give lr'ank and candid explana- tions on all those points which need to be precleely defined." It is understood that the British Government has received the Austro• Hungarian peace note and ateo the proposal, previously referred to. that all the powers should withdraw their troops from the Murman territory. It 1s also learned that Germany has made a peace offer to Belgium. The terms of this prdposal are as follows: That Belgium shall remain neu- tral.until the end or the war. • That thereafter the entire econo- mic and political independence of Belgium shall be reconstituted. That the pre-war commercial treaties between Germany and Bel- gium shall again be put into oper- ation after the war for an indent:Me period. - That Belgium shall Use fide good offices to secure return of the Ger- man nolonies. That the Flemish question shall be considered, and the Flemish mi- nority, which aided the German in- vaders, shall not he penalised. The proposal contains no word re- specting reparation or indemnities, no admission that Germany wronged Belgium. Alike Naval (bancf1 Meet.

"Some wonderful things happen in this world, and the way Tanlac has restored my health find built me up is one of them. ' said Mrs. Paul Tobolt of 9111 California avenue, Butte, Mont.. in one of the most interesting and remit' kable statements yet published in conrtectxm with the Master ' Medicine. "My trouble started about two years ago." she cootinued, "and I have simply been a nervous wreck ever since until now. Last January I went to the hos- pital, where I was told that my whole system had become poisoned by an af- fected appendix, that an operation was my only hope and it was doubtful if this would save rite. So 1 arranged to have my children cared for, in case 1 should not see them again. and submitted to the operation. Well, the operation was done with so much skill. and I was se carefully nursed that I finally got out of the hos- pital and was home with my husband and children again. Then 1 picked up won- derfully for a little more than a month, when I began to have terrible pains in my back over my kidneys. My appetite left me area nothing tasted right. I was con- stipated. had fearful headaches and was Kr nervous 1 could hardly sleep. 1 fell off until 1 weighed less than a hundred pounds and was so weak that it was an effort for me to get about at all. "Finally my husband suggested that I try Tanlac, as it was being su much talked about, and the results have astonished us both. I couldn't see much improvement on my first bottle. but with the second my appetite got better, 1 commenced to feel improved and was surprised when 1 got on the scales to find that 1 had gone up to les pounds. Well, the third bottle did wonders for me, relieving Me of all pain and headache -and making me want to eat up everything. I now weigh 115 pc:unds-making a gain of more than twenty pounds on three bottles -and 1 m wondering what my fourth bottle which 1 have Just started taking will do for me. I [Jeep like a healthy child, never waking at night at all. and feel like 1 could eat five or six meals a day. I dismissed my hired help four weeks ago. after eighteen months' steady service, and since then I have done all my own housework, cook- ing and everything. I have no more dull, drowsy bad feelings and life is a pleasure to me. 1 tent praise Tanlac enough for what it has dome for me." Tanlac is told in Goderich by E. R. Wigle, in Seaforth by C.

VERY EASY TO RECOGNIZE The Teem "Blrrelling" Has Been Coined by Engllah Writer,. to ,jlescrtbe the Peculiar Style of 'Utterance for Which the For- r4fer Chief Sec retail for Ireland Was Famous. N ENGLAND the word "birrell- ing" has in recent years crept Into the language, and is now commonly used to describe a certain type of humorous utterance. The word was founded on the name of the clever writer and speaker, Mr. Augustine Barrell, and 1t has been so universally accepted that it will no doubt so find a place in the diction- aries. When exactly the term "blr- relling" first came to be used to ex- press the style of utterance which ' Augustine Barrell has made so pet -it: - tarty his own is not recorded. Like ' many other such names, It grew aut of the necessity of things, for noth- ing quite like Mr. Barrell'■ style has ever before been known. Mr. Birrell almost always "birrelle."

With genuine skill and el. - trance they array themselves in this garment, arranging it In graceful folds. When the Somali unburdens his camel or loads upon it the freig'rt it is to carry, or when preparing for battle, he roll. up his maro around his waist. He seldom has any head covering, notwithstanding the beat of the sun. Around bin neck he wears two large amber beads. His brow and arms are often adorned with amulet., in the fashion of the Jews. The So- mali women and sing girls also wear the maro. They drape it over the right shoulder and belt it at the waist with a fringe girdle. The girls let their abundant black tresses bang upon their shoulders or plait tben1 into fine tight braids. The elders -Wo- men bind their hair aad mer 1t with a kind of net.

Pecu.iar Type of Vessel Has Withstood the Test of Time ..:..+rnrr..•..-.ipti�D4?{ ^PfiOPO4r«;.{. 1't'H ek.ptieism hay been evinced on tbe subject of concrete hips, but such 1s their actulal practicabil- ity that the Committee on the Merchant Ma -in. and Fisheries De- partment of the Government of the United States has sewn ht to collect and distribute a booklet containing considerable data regarding their history and construction. it has been assumed by • the un- initiated that the use or reinforced 1001.1te for the construction of ships and other Boating structures is a novelty. As a matter of fact the first application of the material in this way dates from ,a period when the building of steel shite had not even been begun. The first reinforced vessel was in the form of a small boat built in 11,49 by a Frenchman named Lam - bot, at Miraveel, and the boat is still In service after a practical test of 68 years. Toward the end of last century the possibilities of reinforc- ed concrete for all kinds of struc- tural work began to be more widely recognised and the material was ap- plied to the construction of yeasels of various clauses in differeet parts of tbe world. One of the first examples was • Boating chalet supported by a rein - towed concrete pontoon. measuring 1 67 feet long by 21 feet wide, built In Rome in 1897. Other barges, lighters and pontoons followed in i fairly rapid succession, a Roman firm being most enterprising in the new branch of work. By the end of 1912 they had constructed at least 20 sim- nel. of the lighter elw and over 60 pontoons for floating bridges. In Germany reinforced concrete vessels of the motor launch and barge types have been constructed. In North r dd South America, a good many barges and pontoons have been made in re- inforced concrete, during the last ten years. Typical ezamples are furnished by a barge hr Ontario. 81 feet long by 24 feet beam by 7 feet deep; a fleet of lighten, 100 feet long by 30 feet beam, built at San Frandsen for the mutating trade; several lighters and pontoons on the Panama Canal; and some scows 112 feet long by 28 feet beam built at arrheld. From the examples cited it is evi- dent that reinforced concrete has earned a definite claim to be regard- ed as a real shipbullding material, particularly for vessels of moderate i eia.. The material possesses obvious advantages for the building of many useful types of craft. Apart from ships, bargee. and pontoons, there are other types of floating struc- tures in which reinforced concrete ran be employed with advantage. The most Interesting example of the caisson dlaes Is furnished by the "Batterie des Mauves," a torpedo - testing station wbich at present forms a kitfht of artificial island in the Mediterranean. The structure was built partly in a dry dock, affil completed at moorings outside the dock. The tatters was then towed by a couple of steam tugs for a dis- tance of soma 30 WIPP through the sea and Punk upou a prepared tied 1n deep water. When in readiness for its voyage *crone the sea the battery bad a displacement of 2,600 tone and drew 26 feet of water. While of leas etrikine character than this structure reinfnreed con- crete eatsmons for pier and Jetty con- struction are of praetical inter - eat. it Is frequently contended that aallne •ubetaneea in solution damage the concrete. Authorities state, how- ever, that while badly made concrete has suffered deterioration in a few eases, there IP ample evideae. or the fact that eerreetty proportioned and carefully prepared comet. is not injured by prolonged lamersba in sea water.
