STATEMENT OF SECRETARY Ian.
SING SAYS TERMS UPON WHICH
UNITED STATES WILL NEGOTI.
ATE PEACE HAVE ALREADY
BEEN OPENLY STATED TO THE
WORLD, AND WILL NOT BE
CHANGED.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. IT,
The United States, as was fully ex-
pected, has Internationally rejected
Germany's peace feeler. In doing so,
the Government has spoken for all
the -belligerents.
Almost Immediately after receiving
the Austrian governments note from
the minister from Sweden, Mr.. Eken-
gren last night, Secretary Lansing
issued this formal statement:
Il am authorized by the President
to state that the following will be
the reply of this Government to the
Austro-H Hungarian note proposing an
official conference of belligerents:
1.-The government of the United
States feels. that there is only one
reply which it can make to the sug
gestion of the imperial Austro Hun
garian government 1t has repeated
ly and with entire candor stated the
terms upon which the United States
would consider and can and will en-
tertain no proposal for a conference
upon a matter concerning which it
has made its position and purpose
so plain
Mr.. Lansing's statement was given
out within half an hour after he had
received the Austrian proposal. 1t
would have been forthcoming almost
Immediately upon the delivery Of the
Austrian note had it not been found
necessary in order to avoid the possi-
bility of grave error to make a care
full comparison between the official
text and that which was received in
press dispatches from Amsterdam.
Thus, emphasis was added to the
declfnation, if any were needed; the,
quickness of the reply, indicating the
existence of no shadow of doubt in
the minds of the administration as to
what it should be AS soon as Mr..
Lansing's reply can be put in form it
will be handed to the Swedish min
lister for Transmission to Austria.
The Swedish legation notified the
State department early in the after
noon that it had received note and
that it would be presented as soon -
it could be coded and translated from
French. This consumed several hours
and it was not until $40 o'clock that
Mr. Ekengren appeared lie remain
eG with the Secretary only two min
utes.

LAW REQUIRES THAT STATE
MENT OF EXPENSES SHALL BE
PUBLISHED IN OFFICIAL ORGAN
NOT LATER THAN TEN DAYS
AFTER CLOSE OF CAMPAIGN
SEPT 21st Is LAST DAY ALLOW
ED.

Candidates who offered for any OF
the various offices in the recent pri-
mary must make statements of their
expenses incurred during the cam
paign. and these statements must be
published not later than ten days af
ter the close of the campaign.
The law of Georgia requires that
such statements be published by both
winners and losers, and the state
ments must be sworn to before and
attested by notary public in the
county in which the af1ant resides.
So far, however, there have been
only two statements published, and
The Times Recorder, is of the opin-
ion that some of the candidates, at
least, believe such publications are
not necessary. Each candidate for
anv office. whether elected or defeat
ed. must publish sworn statement
and the matter is called to their at
tention SO that none may be penalized
by failure to observe the law.

COAL CONSERVATION

They havelearned how to use coal

ing to pay all the way from twenty
to ninety dollars ton for it. The
man who is paying that does noa
need any fuel administration to
urge him, on patriotic grounds, to
stop wasting coal. He develops the
keenest interest in that subject with
out being prompted; and he saves
the coal
II our government took its hsnds
of the fuel situation today there
would be no wasting of coal next
winter The price would go to such
Il height that every man who burn
ed ton OF coal would make it his
personal business to see that it was
burned to the best advantage.
