PEACE FEELER FAILED
Prompt Answer Given to Aus-
trian Proposal.
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.

Mrs. Tobolt Ast.oiahed at Results of ENGLISH SPEAKER
Tanlac-Gains Twenty Pounds.
"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."

NOTED FOR WIT
Augustine Birrell Had His Own
Unique Style.
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." In the old
days before the war, when be was
Chief Secretary for Ireland, or, be -
Non -Committal.
"Jack. dear, you love me more than
anything elle in tl.e world, don't you?"
"Sure."
"And you wouldn't give me up for' a
milfir ri dullars?"
"HMI- Anvbcdy offered that?'
Didn't Know Baseball.
Referring to our recent note about the
English reporter giving the haseball score
as "Two -love,' a correspondent reminds
rs that no less a writer than Conan Doyle
once made a curious blunder in describing
our national game: "The catching," he
wrote, "seemed to m- • extraordinarily
good, especially the long catches by the
bleacher!, as the outfse'ds. who are far
from any shade, are called."
He Forgot.
At one 'of the theological Hmifaries
they tell of an attent-mireed profcsse r
who, %bile studying one evening. had
need of a bock nark and frr the purpose
employed a pair of his wife's scissors that
chanced to be at hand.
Shortly after his wife wanted the
scissor!. but a diiget t search on her part
failed to disclose them.
The next day the professor appeared
before his class aed opened his book.
'There lay the loft 'c1s6or9. He picked
them up ar.d, with a triumphant smile.
held them aloft. crying out:
'Isere they are, Beane..^'
There was never a time when the Sao-
riSees and the help of women were more
appreciated than at the present time.
Women Should learn war -nursing and

AUGUSTINE BELL,
fore that, when he was President of
the Board of Education, even when
he answered he most ordinary ques-
tions in the House during the most
ordinary of question times, such a
thing was liable to happen. Mem-
bers would lean forward in their
places when be got up to speak; re-
porters in the press gallery would be
all agog; whilst strangers would
count themselves fortunate that they
were tbere. Everyone knew it, when
It came, and yet it was, and is. the
most intangible thing in the world.
As one writer bas said, you know
them, that Is "birrelllsms," as you
know the damure pleasantries of
Holmes, or the archaic solemnities of
Lamb. For instance, The House of
Lords repreeent nobody but them-
selves, and they enjoy the full con-
fidence of their constituents." Or "a
pension of .ve shillings a seek 1s
not much encouragement to longe-
vity." Or the utter resignation of
his own description of hie experiences
at the education once, where he had
"little to 40 with education, but only
with a controversy over something
that was mistakenly called religion."
• Somaliland Costumes,
Somali men and youths wear the
maro, a rude toga consisting of a
wide piece of cotton cloth like a
sheet. 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. Their type and
attire closely resemble the female
figures represented on the Egyptian
monuments of antJQutty. Almost all
adorn themselves with armlets,
atringa of beads or n.etal rings worn
above the elbow. Some have enor-
mous silver earring.. others amber
iecklaces or strings of small silver
;reads.

Concrete Ships Endure.
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.
