the German aspirations at a banquet
given by the town council Of LEIPZIG in
honor of Swiss guests, Count Won Vitz-
thum d'Ecksetadt, the Saxon foreign
minister, said;
"The reason for our readiness for

AUSTRIA'S OFFER

Baron Burian Says the Enemies of the

Their Language and Cannot
Talk Peace Sanely.

parent rejection of the Austro- Hungarian
proposal for a conference of belligerents
to discuss the possibilities OF peace, that
governments offer still is open, says an
official statement received from Vienna
to-day. The statement reads:
From reports received from abroad,
the rejection of the Austro- Hungarian
governments suggestion that a preim.
mary discussion of the peace question be
entered into can hardly be longer doubt
ed.
"The official reply TO Foreign Minister
Burians note has not yet been received,
and therefore the reason which prompted
the attitude of the governments of the
entente cannot be discussed at present.
Only from Secretary Balfour is an ex-
haustive discussion of our suggestion
available. His arguments show how cor
rectly Baron Burian's proposal judged
the situation and that only the adoption
Of Baron Burian's line of thinking could
master the confusion Of minds prevailing
everywhere until to-day
"The peace question as discussed by
Secretary Balfour-and the same applies

lean Senates under the pressure of big

en-; this season the cost ranged from
thirty-fye to forty cents. This means
that the egg operators will push up the
price Of storage eggs, so that they can
make a profit which, in turn, will ad-
vance the price OF fresh eggs.
There is certain disadvantage in this,
owing to the fact that extremely high
prices for fresh eggs greatly limit con
sumption because the public turns to-
wards substitutes.
Another reason for the high priced
fresh product is that the government has
put a limit on the amount of profit the
egg operator can make on each dozen;
and as soon as conditions arrive at which
he can unload and make this restricted
profit, the better for him
For this reason, eggs have been NOV

STUDENT HELD ON CHARGE
OF BURNING BUILDING

Asheville, Nov, 29.-Grey Key
ton, of Morganton, a student at
Yancey Institute. the big Baptist
University at Burnsville, is being
held to the March term Of court at
Burnsville on the charge Of burning
the main building Of the institute.
The arrest was made by Deputy
State Insurance Commissioner F. M.
Jordan.
The boys dormitory was discov-
cred on fire one night, but the flames
we're extinguished. The next night
the main building Of the institution
was burned to the ground. Several
days late rthe new boys dormitory
was discovered to be on fire, but was
saved. Mr.. Jordan followed several
clues; the strongest pointing to Key
ton. The latter was placed under
arrest and at a preliminary hearing
probable cause was found and he
was bound over to court. Keyton
bears a bad record at Morganton and
he Is believed to have set the build
ings on FIRE for spite, not wishing to
study nor obey the rules Of the In

LIMITED SERVICE MEN
GET OUT SOON
Local Boards Are Not to Be Used in
DemObilization Process, Crowdu
Advises

Forty-eight limited service men
serving as clerks to local, direct and
advisory boards in North Carolina
will be sent with ma short time to
Camp Greene for emobilization.
Orders to this effect were received
yesterday by Captain T. B. McCargo,
Jr., commanding officer OF the lin
tied service men in the State.
Notice was also received yester-
day at Selectiye Service headquar-
ters that local boards would not be
used in the rehabilitation of men
in the national army. Washington
dispatches several days ago carried
the announcement that Secretary
Baker had under consideration
plan for using the board members
in returning the men to various in
dustries and occupations. Provost
Marshal Crowder, in message to
headquarters yesterday, announced
that local boards would not be used
in the rehabilitation process. 1t is
thought that representatives of gov
ernment employment bureaus will be
utilized in finding work for the men
as they are discharged.
Captain McCargo's limited serv-
Ice men will probably be sent to the
Charlotte camp within the next week.
Forty-eight men are in limited ser
vice in this State out Of a total of
eighty-two inducted on September
7. The others were found qualified
for general service and sent to va
rious camps.
