In waging war and negotiating peace
simultaneously.
The Turkish delegation announced
that it was empowered to confer only
with the three Balkan kingdoms which
signed the armeticc at Tchatalja and.
rs consequence. adjc, s~nment was
taken until Thursday enable the
Turks to obtain Instructions.
conferees Are Hopeful.
All the conferees expressed the be-
lief that the suspension was merely
temporary and that a pathway toward
the resumption OF. the meetings will be
found.
The prospects for successful issue
Of the conference are enhanced by the
declaration of the Turks that they have
been given plenary powers to arrange
and sign treaty Of peace.
How far their improved military po-
sition, with the encouragement Austria
Is credited with giving them. may stiff
fen their backs against the allies
terms, remains the chief factor Of
doubt.
Intervention Suggested.
The contingency that Intervention
may ultimately offer the only solution
Of the war has been the subject Of
much discussion. The heads Of the
Bulgarian and Servian delegations, in
interviews, recognized that the United
States might be in position to act Is
peacemaker, as President Roosevelt
did between Russia and Japan.
The naval fight OF the Dardanelles,
In which both Greece and Turkey
claimed victory Monday has been re-
sumed. Athens announced that the
Greek army is about to capture Janina.
The friction between Austria and Ser
via appears not to have abated. The
Servians complain that Austrian gun
boats in the Danube are INDUCING in
provocative tactics, throwing their
searchlights on Belgrade, which has
caused a panic among the residents.
Greeks Menace Turkish Town.
Athens.-The continued assaults by
the Greeks on Fort Bizani, the key to
the town of Janina, and regarded by
the Turks as impregnable. have been
30 successful that its defenders will
be able to resist only few hours long

Of the fighting around Janina. The
batteries Of Bizani were silenced after
bombardment which lasted all day.
The right wing of the Greek forces
Is advancing towards Fort Drom at the
summit of the mountain opposite BIZ
Eani. Great confusion prevails among
the defenders of this fort. The guns
are being removed and the Turks are
leaving. The fall of Bizani will free
he road to Janina.
