Mrs. Henry ". Peabody Tells Of
 Visits to Many Lands

Under the title ''The Other Side Henry w. Peabody, foreign vice pres ident of the Woman's American Board of Foreign Missionary socie- ties, gave a very interesting account of the work being done in foreign countries, at the afternoon session Of the Hartford Conference. which was held in the First Baptist church, yes terday Mrs. Peabody said that while she realized her auditors had the hidden and uninspirational part of the work nevertheless much is being accomplished. Getting money is a hard job at best and the speaker suggested that instead of approach ing unwilling givers. an effort should be made to interest the children and keep this interest alive until they reach maturity. when they will be- come willing givers, because of their familiarity with the work Mrs. Pea body then continued as follows:

 ''It may seem to you the Five Year program, which has been map ped out by the board, calling for a1l increase of fifteen per cent. a year for five years in the activities of the board, is an expensive undertaking, but if you could see the results in foreign lands, you would reallZe everything is worth while.

MORGAN SURE PEACE
IS STILL FAR OFF
DisoWns Credit for RumOrs That
Cause Wall Street Break.

The break in prices on the Stock
Exchange yesterday, especially IN war
stocks. was attributed TO rumors that
peace might be expected now. The
peace talk was connected with the
fact that J. =. Morgan was back at
his desk after a trip 10 England, IN
which he was expected 10 back new
Allied securities with American col
lateral.
II was said by friends OF Mr.. Nor
gan. however, that he yesterday DIS
owned the credit for these rumors,
and added that he felt sure the end
OF the war was still far off.
Mr.. Morgan said that American Sc
curities held by the British Treasury
were not as important as the cabled
reports made them, and would not be
dumped in lot on the American mar
kct. He thought their sales had been
we'll handled for the interests both Of
America and Great Britain. No nego-
tiations for peace could como 80 sud
denly as the reports suggested, accord
ing 20 Mr. Morgan, because the Allies
would not settle the war until future
war menace had been crushed.

RUMANIA TO ENTER
WAR, GREECE BELIEVES
Results at Verdun Also Swinging
Athens Toward Allies.

Athens, March 1e.-The impression
prevails in high political circles at
Athens that Rumania soon will aban-
don her policy Of neutrality in favor
Of the Entente Allies.
Should Rumania enter the war Greek
officials would be placed in an embar-
RAISING position. Military representa-
tives OF the Entente Allies do not dis
guise the fact that at present they have
no need for Greece and do not desire
to assume responsibility for msinten-
ance and equipment Of the Greek army
unless they are assured definitely Of
cooperation in the event Of an Allied
offensive in Macedonia.
The course of the lighting at Nerdun
has produced marked impression on
even the most determined non-inter-
tentionists, and the royalist press IS
changing its tone In regard TO partici-
patton Of Greece in the war.
