LONDON, Dec 2. The Imperial Chancellor' atatement on the European situation together with that of Herr too Kiderlen-Wachter, the German Foreign Secretary, confirming: that Great Britain and Germany are co-operating amicably in favor of peace, la regarded In European capitals aa re assuring' and likely to have an effect when the peace delegates begin to dis cuss terms. Dr. Von Bethmann-Hollweg's declar ation of the solidarity of the triple alli ance, which It Is reported has Just been renewed for another term of years, and his announcement of Germany's deter mination to uphold Turkey In an aco nomic sense. Is likely to Influence the delegates of all countries concerned to discuss peace conditions in the spirit of moderation already shown In the armistice negotiations. Attitude of Greece IMQuiettn:. Although there is no change tonight in the actual situation, some misgiving Is beginning to be expressed with re rarri to the attitude of Greece. Various reasons are assigned for Greek reluctance to sign the armistice. According to the Greek Minister at Paris, Greece opposes the proposal that the besieged garrisons shall be pro visioned during the armistice and thinks that the allies ought to have insisted upon their surrender. Jealousy Kmown to Exist. There is no doubt that jealousy exists between Greece and Bulgaria. Greece asserts that the Greek fleet played an important role In the war and espe cially in preventing Turkey from mov ing her troops by sea and that with out her naval assistance the allies could not have achieved such a brilliant success. The race between the Greeks and the Bulgarians for the occupation of Salonlkl and the incidents which fol lowed this Increased the ill-feeling and the Greeks now consider their Interests are being sacrificed in the peace nego tiations. It is expected the armistice protocol will be signed some time tomorrow, but it Is possible this may be further de layed. Koumanla May Enter Conflict. The Dally Telegraph prints the fol lowing dispatch from Bucharest: "Roumania is working diplomatically and also is making strenuous prepara tions to support her claims for some part in the partition of Turkey as a reward for. her neutrality. - ii tnese wishes are not satisfied, Roumania -will proceed with military Intervention." In a dispatch from Constantinople the correspondent of the Daily Mall says the delay in effecting an armis tice seems to be due to the Greeks de siring the surrender of Janina to them selves and Scutari to the Montenegrins, and to their objection to raising the blockade on the Albanian coast. The correspondent adds that it is be lieved the Greeks desire to obtain ef fective possession of the Island of Chios, off the west coast of Asia Minor, where heavy fighting continues with the Ottoman troops, who. retired to the mountains when the Greeks landed.

TARIFF IS SUBJECT Wilson Attends Meeting of Bermuda Parliament. AMERICAN CASE DIFFERS President-elect Says Hearty Kevl elon of Schedules in United States, Sncb as in Bermuda, Would Be Impracticable. HAMILTON. Bermuda, Deo. 2. Woodrow Wilson heard today the first tariff discussion since his election as President of the -United States. He visited the Bermuda Parliament, where he was loudly cheered and sat among the members for three hours, listening to the debate on the vegetable sched ules and observing the methods of budget legislation. In reply to the welcome extended by the Speaker, Mr. Wilson said: "I have been interested- in the de bate, thinking that if we- every year went through the items of expendi tures and revenue for 12 months, there would be a continuous performance which would excel anything the thea ters could ever produce. But the Idea is an admirable one, because it affords the House a constant opportunity to review the changing circumstances of the colony. I have admired the busi nesslike manner of getting through the estimates." . While walking from the Government House Mr. Wilson said he thought a hearty revision of the American tariff schedules such as obtains in Bermuda would be impracticable. It would be impossible to discuss the estimates and revenue simultaneously, but he wished the United States would adopt some budget scheme. CONGRESS OPENS SESSION (Oontlnned From first Pass.)

Senate Republicans held an Informal conference in an effort to solve the tangle that has prevented the selection of a permanent presiding officer of the Senate. Galllncer May Be Sleeted. It is expected that a Republican caucus will be held before the end of the week, and that an effort will be made to obtain enough support from Progressives and insurgent Republican Senators to bring about the election of Senator Galllnger. The House will convene at noon to morrow. Roll call In the two houses today showed 66 Senators present out of a membership of 92, and 275 repre sentatives out of a membership of 291.

' When Court Threatens Contempt Proceedings Prisoner Calls At' tentlon to Long Term. SACRAMENTO, Dee. 2. What is a court to do when a convict who Is serv ing a 20-year term says he neither will swear nor affirm to tell the truth In a case where another convict's life hangs In the balance? This question was presented today to Judge Hughes, after the trial of Convict Samuel E. Swearlngen, charged with having assaulted Convict William Robinson with a knife, was begun. Convict Jordan had been brought from Folsom Prison to testify for the peo ple In the case. He declined to tell what his Christian name wasv to take an oath or affirmation or to discuss the case. Judge Hughes mentioned contempt of court, and Jordan wanted to know, "What are you going to do about it?" "I'm serving a 20 years' sentence in that prison. What more can you do to me by giving me a sentence for con tempt of your court?" he asked. Jordan won his point and stepped from the witness stand without an swering any questions that referred to the assault. FEDERAL OWNERSHIP AIM Postal Tube System Owners . Want Government to Buy Property. WASHINGTON, Dec 3. Representa tives of the American Pneumatic Serv ice Company appeared today before a special Senate committee of which Sen ator Guggenheim, of Colorado, is chair man, to urge that the Government pur chase the postal pneumatic tube sys tems in New York, Chicago, Boston and St. Louis. The commission was told that this company, through subsidiaries, had invested about $2,250,000 In the four cities, and would be willing to sell at a fair valuation to be agreed upon after investigation by Government ex perts. Charles Hayden, representing the company, said the postal tube service was essentially a Government enter prise, and that his company desired to sell out because, unless its contraots were renewed for long periods, the property would revert to the cities granting rights of way and there would be no chance to get back the original investment. The Government pays $17, 000 a mile for the use f the tubes un der contracts entered into by the Post office Department. Railway Exchg.: Edelfsen's Coal.
