LONDON. November 25.-As Pre-
mier Craig of Ulster went into con-
ference with Prime Minister Lloyd
George today it was admitted off,
cially that the Irish peace negotia-
tions had reached grave and
critical stage"
The interview lasted an hour Sir
James said upon leaving that he
did not know whether there would
he another conference this afternoon.
but that he was going to Belfast to-
night.
1t is understood that 4 statement
agreed upon between the two premiers
has been drawn up. This statement,
the, understanding Is. will be read by
the Ulster premier in the parliament Of
northern Ireland next Tuesday and is
sued simultaneously in London.
Will Consult DE Valera.
A prominent member of the Sim
Fein said today:
The situation is too serious to talk,
Michael Collins and George Duffy,
Sim Fein delegates. have gone to
Dublin to take council with Mr.. DE
Valera and the dali eireann cabinet
and to receive instruction as to the
attitude they are to adopt. They will
return to London Saturday night to
meet Mr.. Lloyd George after he has
received Sir James Craig'S reply.
AT today's interview Mr.. Lloyd
George was unable to give Ulster as
surance that even if she agreed to his
proposal the Sim Fein would admit
the point of allegiance to the king as
King of Ireland. Such admission has
been refused by the dali eireann rep
resentativeS. who are declared to
view Ireland's position solely as that
of an Independent state which. how
ever, might make treaties with the
other states of the British empire and
possibly even acknowledge the king
as the president of a federation Of
Tree states.
More Warfare Possible.
This is not the settlement plan the
British government had in mind. and
it appears that if the Sim Fein main
tains its attitude the negotiations
must be broken off. with the resump-
ton. of warfare an immediate pos
sibility.
An effort is being made by the
moderate element in Ireland TO in
duce the Sim Fein to modify it's
views. it is understood, but so far
without effect.
1t was learned that Arthur Griffith

until tonight. As he is the foreign
minister in the dali eireann cabinet
with no local Irish duties. his visit to
Ireland is believed to be due solely to
Il desire to consult Eamonn De Valera
before the possible final breakup.
The Ulster members of the imperial
government, who resigned because of
the differences between the govern
ment and Ulster, have been continu-
ing their duties at the governments
request, and it is not expected that in
the event of the failure of the nego-
tions will be necessary, as would
have been the case if a break came
over listers position alone.

NEW METHOD FOR
TREATING TUBERCULOSIS.

PARIS, Feb. AFTER a lapse of
about seven or eight years, Professor
d 'Arsonwal, member of the institute
of the Academy of Medicine, has pre-
of Science on the curative treatment of
tuberculosis by a new method discov-
cred by the Swiss bacteriologist, Henry
Spalinger. The method was first applied
in 1913 and 1914, in England, France
and Switzerland, on patients suffering
from both the minor forms of tubercu-
losis and phthihs.
Since then those patients who were
pronounced cured have been kept under
observation. All are declared to DO
alive and in good health. They have
shown no symptoms Of relapse for six
years, although they underwent no fur
Their treatment.
These results are vouched for, among
others, by the London physician, Dr..
Leonard i. B. Williams, Fellow Of the
Royal Society Of Medicine and other
scientific bodies.
The treatment takes the form Of in
jections of antitoxins and ferments,
which are modified according to the
condition of the patients. It aims
first, at Graduating the acute symp-
toms, then minimizing the patient,
completing the cure and preventing a
relapse.
AS originally described before the
Academy of Medicine, by Professor Lu.
telle, the method consists Of intTamus-
cular injections of combination Of
anti-genic solutions and ferments. It
is claimed that the treatment causes
the closing Of lung cavities and the
disappearance Of the baeilli.

sUNFLowERs ON DRY LAND.

A report from hue Schmeeckle os
New Raymer, Colorado, who tried giant
sunhowerS under dry land conditions
during the past season, indicates that
stage in ninety days. The sunfowers
were listed in on land prepared the
same as for corn. He planted May 10
and got good stand, the sunhowers
growing to a height of from six to
ten feet. They were cut when in full
bloom but with the stalks still green,
Mr.. Schmeeckle reports that the 8
lage was not soft or mnshy,
but that it was more oily than corn,
larger tonnage to the acre. 1t was his
first experience with sunflowers, and he
suggests that they will not stand deep
planting. Shallow planting and cult
walton, about the same as for corn, art
his recommendations. He says fur
thcr:
These suntlowers are good to feed
dry. The cattle eat everything but the
stalks, They like the leaves and the
heads very much. / saved some OF the
heads for seed and for chicken fed
My cattle got into the sunflower patch
one day, and that is how / found out
that they liked them. 1 have not yet
fed any silage from these sunAowers
] have pit silo and am using corn for
silage.'
This test is one of number made in
Weld county under tho direction of
County Agent NJ, T.. Knapp, who is de.
veloping dairy farming on the dry
lands.

CranstOn stole over toward him,
looking closely for weapons. He pulled
aside the wooden blanket that Lennon
had drawn up over his body, and he
pushed his hand into the cushions of

went to work.

But Cranston only laughed and tied
Lemons feet with a cord from the
window shade.
He went to work very systema teal
ly. First ne rifed Lemons desk in
the living room. Then he looked on
all the mantels and ransacked the
cupboards and the drawers He was
haunting and calm at first. But as the
moments passed. his passion grew up
on him. He no longer smiled. The
rodent features became intent; the
eyes narrowed to curious, bright Sits
under the dark lashes. He went to
Dams room. searched his bureau
drawer and all the pockets Of the
clothes hanging In his closet. He up
set his trunk and paved among old
letters In the suitcase. Then, stealing
like some creature Of the wilderness,
he came back to the living room.
Lennon was not on the divan where
he had left him. He lay instead on
the floor near the fireplace; and he
met the passlon-drawn face with entire
calmness. His motives were perfectly
plain. He had Just made despsfats

and to shoot 1t quick and exceptional
ly straight, without asking questions,
at any stealing figure in the snow. Yet
Cranston felt fairly sure that Lennox
was still too helpless to raise gun
to shooting position.
He had observed that the noun
taineer spent his time either on the
fireplace divan or on his own bed.
Neither of these places was available
to the rear windows of the house. So,
very wisely, he made his attack from
the rear.
He came stealing across the snow

silently and swiftly he slipped Off his

He peered into Lennox's bedroom

Then the floor OF the corridor creaked
beneath his step; and he knew moth

ing. If Lennox suspected his pres
ence, he might be waiting with aimed
rifle as he opened the door Of the liv-
ing room.
He glided faster. He halted once
more-a moment at the living-roon
door TO see If Lennon had been dis
turbed. He was lying still, however,
so Cranston pushed through.
Lennox glanced up from his maya
zine to find that unmistakable thing,
the barrel of rifle, pointed at his
breast. Cranston was one of those
rare marksmen who shoot with both
eyes Open-and that meant that he
kept his full visual powers to the last
