For nearly five hours the chief wit

While the colloquys were at times

Mr.. Morgan gave a ready response
to questions, although there was often
battle of wits as TO the meaning and
effect of various financial conditions
and operations.
The question of competition and
combination brought about lively i'm
terchange between the noted financier
and Mr.. Untermyer, the latter opening
the tilt with the suggestion that Mr..
Morgan was opposed to competition.

Disagrees With Untermyer.
He disagreed with the views Of Mr..
Untermyer on the question of inter
locking directorates, which forms the
basis for a large part of the statistical
evidence that makes up the record of
the money trust investigation up to
date. Without actual control, Mr.
Morgan claimed, there is no control,
although some directors may be com.

London, Dec. l9.-lne peace confer
ence was launched Monday, only to be
interrupted Tuesday by complica-
ton resulting from the policy OF Greece
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 armstice at Tchatalja and,
as a consequence, adjournment was
taken until Thursday to enable the
Turks to obtain instructions.
Conferees Are Hopeful.
All the conferees expressed the be-
lief that the suspension was merely
temporary and that pathway toward
the resumption OF the meetings will be
found.
The prospects for a 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

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 Servan delegations. in
interviews, recognized that the United
States might be in position to act as
peacemaker, as President Roosevelt

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
SO successful that it's defenders will
be able to resist only few hours long
er, according to a Unofficial account
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 Bi-
Zani 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
