The case of the Greek government versus the British government in the matter of the Jerusalem electrification concession granted by the former Ottoman government to Engineer Mavromatis was taken up again by the Permanent Court of International Justice yesterday.

The question was again debated as to whether the court is competent to deal with the matter. Mr. Hogg, British attorney general, contended in behalf of the British government that the court has no jurisdiction in the case.
