MILITARY HEADS
MEETING AT PARIS


u ONDON, Dec. Go p. ny
l. The peace talk which emanates
from the vatican, Switzerland and
Scandinavia and has been aroused
by the proposed questions by the
Socialists i'm the rcichstar and tine
Pope's address in the secret con-
sistory, evokes no echo here. The
British people are quite prepared to
believe that Hungary is tired
of war that the people of Germany
with the knowledge Of heavy losses
suffered at the different fronts, may
be anxious to see an end to it, but
they do not expect the rulers of the
central powers TO make any sugges-
tions that any British government
would or could consent TO.
They therefore are more Interested
in news Of the joint war council of
all the allies, which has been formed
and which held its first meeting in
Paris today under the presidency of
the French cOmmander-in-c chief, Gen
eral .loftre, ana hope from this that
the war is 20 be prosecuted more en-
ergetically and that efforts are to
difficulties which face the quad
ruple entente in the Balkans.
Planning Changes.
Where and when the allies will at
tempt the stroke which they expect
to start and turn the tide, only the
COnferees know and they are not
likely to take the public into THEN
confidence There is evidence, how
ever, of some change in the Balkans
wherc the British and French have
been beating off Bulgarian attacks
and despite rumors that Withdrawal
to Salonili, owing to the Greek at,
titude, is contemplated, more troops
are being landed. There are sign,
that the Greek situation is rightinp
itself and dispatches from Athens re,
port that a modus vivendi has beer
arrived at with regard to military
that were waiting settlement and
that Greek officers have gone tC
SalouiN to bring it into force.
All Fronts Quiet,
Very little fighting has occurred
on different fronts, the artillery being
chiefly engaged in Russia, France
and on the Austro-Italian frOutior
The British Mesopotamia force ha'
made good its retirement to Kut-El
Amara, closely followed by tn,
Turks, who apparently are attempt
ing to outflauk General TownshenC
from the west. As the position il
a strong one and reinforcements ar,
arriving, it is believed the place can
be held.

ried out another daring raid in th
sea Of Marmora, where it damsgeC

JUST TO WIPE 1T OUT.


Special to The World.
MUSKOGEE. Dec. 6.-Tn order
to wipe the strain from the BOOKS,
and although he was only tech
nically guilty Of violating the
law, w. p. Phillips, veal = and
respected oil man of Tu.sa, to-
day voluntarily appeared in the
United States court and entered
a plea Of guilty to a charge Of
making false entries on the books
Of a national bank at Vinita
about eight or ten years ago.
None of the dcposltors ever lost
penny and Phillips, who was
cashier of the bank at the time,
merely certified to what he
thought was the truth. He was
convicted in 1911 and sentenced
to five years. His case was ap-
pealed and reversed in 1913.
Phillips was not represented by
counsel Monday. He was sem
fenced to five years in the federal
prison at Leayenworth and will
begin serving his sentence there
Tuesday. 1t is thought that the
mitigating circumstances in the
case will prompt President VIII
son to give Phillips a full pardon
within a very short time.

HELP SOLVE ONION PROBLEM
Farmers Frequently Inquire a. to
Proper Storage Of crop-Provide
Plenty Of Air Space.

By J.. S. KNOX. Arkansas Experiment
Station.)
How shall l store my onions SO
they will keep during the remainder
of h summer and during the win
ter?"
The above question is one that is
frequently asked by the farmers of
the country. The following sugges-
lions. if carried out, will greatly help
in solving the problem:
Do not allow the onions to remain
in the ground after they are mature,
but dig them when from 80 to 80 per
cent Of the tops die and fall over.
Three or four row may be piled to-
gether in windows as they are dug
and allowed to remain In this way un-
til the tops are dry, which will re-
Quire several days. owing to the de-
gree of sunshine. It may be neces-
sary to turn the onions over at inter-
walls OF two days until they are thor
oughly dry. Do not allow white onions
to remain In the sun until they turn
green.
AS soon as properly cured In the
field. place the onions In bags and
carry to the storage house. The stor-
age house should be we'll ventilated,
especially until the bulbs are thor
oughly dry. II only q few bushels are
to be stored, it is a good idea to
spread them out on the floor Of q
building. When placed in this way
there il little danger of the bulbs heat
ing or sprouting from moisture. Some
Of the regular onien storage ho"ses
have a series, OF shelves one above
the other. in which the bulbs are
spread out to dry. II you have to
store them in bags leave plenty Of air
space between the different bags and
be sur the bulbs are all cured before
placing them In the bags.
