AUSTRIA WILL NOT
SEND PEACE NOTE
President Wilson's Speech
Deemed Too General for
Starting Point.
GERMAN OFFICIALS VIEW
Ry the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BERLIN, January &c, via London,
January IA Vienna dispatch says
that Premier Tisza's statement in re-
gard to peace negotiations should not
be interpreted as an indication that
Austria Hungary intends to answer
President Wilson's speech to the Sem
ate with any definite diplomatic step.
For example. the dispatch says a note
TO the United States is not called for
not only because President Wilson's
words were directed to the United
States Senate. but also because his
terms are considered too general to
serve as a starting point for concrete
negotiations
Premier Tisza's announcement and the
reply of Andrew Bonar Law, British
chancellor of the eXcheQuer, to Presi
dent Wilson's speech are regarded here
in diplomatic circles as evidences that
the subject of peace will not down in
spite of the apparent ascendency of
the war motif at the present moment.
Speeches of Practical Value.
The surface view here on President
Wilson's steps continue to be that al
though meant and based on a sincere
desire for the well being of both bel
ligerents, it is unsuitable for discus
sion now when the attitude of the en-
tente is regarded as making a y gorous
prosecution of the war inevitable and
Indispensable. At the same time there
is wide disposition to regard the
Presidents speech of considerable
practical value as a means of keeping
alive the discussion of peace.
In regard to Premier TisZa'S brief
reference to possible continuance of
an interchange of views with the
United States, German officials who
have been associated with the Hun
garlan premier profess ignorance of
any decision of the central powers to
which Count Tisza might have been re-
ferring. They say in particular that
they know of no change in the atti-
tude of the central governments re-
garding a further announcement of
peace conditions.

French Socialists Ask
Government to Affirm
Accord With Mr.. Wilson
Dy the Associat led Press.

by the Associated Press
PARIS. January 27.-The eighty-nine
unified socialist deputies in the cham
Der have adopted a resolution urgently
asking the government to affirm its
accord with the principles expressed
in President Wilson's address to the
Senate. The resolution also demands
that pressure be exerted on all the
belligerents to hasten peace. The res
olution, which was adopted unanimous
~, follows:
The socialist group in the French
parliament takes note with joy of the
admirable message of President Will
son to the American Senate. The con-
ception of peace founded upon the free
VIII of peoples. and not upon force of
arms, should be or should become the
charter of the civilized universe. Upon
this affirmation of justice, an Inherit
ance from our revolutionary traditions
and of our international congresses.
PRESIDENT Wilson confers today a new
and immense prestige.
And it is the more necessary at this
time that democrats of all nations,
wherever they may be, should rise
against fmperialistic ambition and
against their bloody and ruinous con-
sequences. The socialist group will
request insistently that the French
government affirm clearly its accord
with the high words Of reason of Presi-
dent Wilson

earlier days he had the sense to en-
ploy intelligent Christian administra-
tors. He cannot secure justice. As
governing power he has always shown
himself incapable, corrupt and cruel.
He has always destroyed; he has never

Not Nation, He Says.
Those whom we call Turks are not
a nation at all in the proper sense of
the word. The Ottoman Turks were
a small conquering tribe from central
Asia who were ruled during the first
two centuries of their conquests by
succession of singularly able and un-
lscrupulous sultans, who, subJugated
the Christian population of Asia Minor
and southeastern Europe. compelling
part of these populations to embrace
Mohammedanism and supporting their
own power by Selling the children OF
the rest, forcibly converting them to
Islam and making out of them an efn-
cient standing army of janizaries. by
whose valor and discipline the Turkish
wars of conquests were carried on from
! the early fifteenth down into the nine
teenth century.
"As famous English historian
wrote, the Turks are nothing but a
robber band encamped in the coun-
tries they have desolated. AS Edmund

A New York banker, whose influence

BIG RAIN DOES
GREAT DAMAGE

Citizens coming to town on last
Monday from the northeast part of
the county report a vast amount of
damage done to crops, bridges, lands
and roads by the heavy rain which
fell just before noon.
Tom Insco says waterspout Wis
tied his neighborhood, carrying every
bridge away between his place and
Cypress creek levee. Others tell of
corn blown and washed down and
washed away, sorghum cane washed
down, fences washed away and lands
and levees and roads greatly dam
aged.
While all this occurred in restricted
areas, nearby the dust in the road
was not even settled, and along these
dusty roads creeks and small branch
es were out of their banks.

or more notches. In fact, it is well
to set the carburetor to so lean a
mixture that the engine will not pull
properly before it is thoroughly heat
ed. The difficulty thus encountered
may be overcome by the use Of the
choke--or other adjustments Of the
carburetor which serve to give a
richer mixture when starting. A
lean mixture may be further assured
by the use of some of the well-tried
attachments designed to furnish aux
Hilary air to the engine under certain
conditions.
Fifth, the carburetor should be in
spected by an expert and the strainer
drained frequently to prevent the
accumulation of dirt which may lodge
under the float valve and cause the
latter to leak when the engine is shut
down.
Sixth, the engine should never be
left running while the car is stand
ing idle. If adjustments are prop
erly made, the engine will start cas-
| ily-and the current from your start
ing battery is cheaper than gasoline.
Furthermore, the engine should not
be raced at random for testing pur-
poses, unless you have a definite idea
as to just where the trouble lies.
Seventh, all brakes should be free
so that they do not drag, bearings
should be well oiled, tires inflated to
the pressure recommended by the
manufacturer, and the whole car so
free in it's motion that it can be push
ed by hand without difficulty on a
hard, level pavement.-H. W. Slau-
son in Leslie's.

the CARE OF
YOUR CAR.

In the first place we must use care
in the selection of our fuel. Case
line which does not vaporize with
sufficient readiness to remain in a
gaseous state, eventually condenses
in the cylinders and is either burn
ed or lost without developing it's pow
err. Furthermore, the gasoline must
be pure, with minimum amount Of
residue which will serve to form car
bon.
Secondly, the gasoline must be
burned under the most favorable
conditions conducive to the devel-
opment of a maximum of power fol-
lowing each explosion, a uniform
AZURE; a hot, fat spark occurring as
and quickly attained engine temper
early as is possible without produc-
ing knock and sufficiently flex-
ible carburator which will give prop
er mixtures at all engine speeds.
The above mentioned maintenance
of engine temperature is an impor-
tant consideration, especially in cold
weather
Thirdly, the carbon should be re-
moved from the engine as soon as
an undue accumulation is indicated
usually every 500 or 1000 miles, de-
pending upon the kind of oil used
the condition of the rings, the nature
of the fuel and the like.
In the fourth place, the mixture

conditions when the engine is warm.

1872 ENROLLED
ON OPENING

The Dresden High School enjoyed
a splendid opening on Monday Of
last week, when the enrolment for
the opening day reached 1872 pupils.
This is the largest enrolment in the
history of the school, and the number
has been increased since that day.
Others are yet to enter, too.
With the splendid faculty at the
head of this school it ought to be
the best in the entire county. One
thing that is lacking is the co-opera-
ton Of the patrons. This has never
been given here as in many other
places, and for this reason the Ores
den schools have not been what they
might have been.
Mr.. Finch informs US that patrons
are invited, rather urged, to visit the
school frequently that they may
know something Of the character Of
work being done there.
