GREECE TO ENTER !
ON SIDE Of ALLIES
OFFICIAL ORGAN SAYS FRENCH
TROOPS WILL COOPERATE
WITH GREEKS.

Athens, Greece, Sunday, Oct. 3,
via Paris, Oct. ALI doui't as to
the entrance of Greece in the war
on the side of the entente allies has
now been disposed Of. The official
crgan of the government says that
the landing Of French troops at Sa-
lcniki is for the purpose of assisting
Greece.
In regard to the landing of the
French troops, the governmental
organ says that if for the present
the government considers the assist
ance of the ellies as premature it
is none the less to aid and support
Greece that the allies are at Saloniki.
France and England enter The Bal
kans as traditional friends of Greece
and not otherwise.
The Greek government\has seized
the Macedonia railroads, of which
two are Austrian and one French.
1t was reported unofficially last
week that the allies had landed
troops near Saloniki to cooperate
with the Greeks against Bulgaria. No
official announcement has been made,
but the foregoing dispatch indicates
that such a movement either is i'm
rending or already has been made.

FAILURE OF GERMANY TO DIS.

Washington, OFT. 4-The note pre-
sented by Count Won Bernstorff, the
German ambassador, to Secretary
Lansing in New York Saturday re-
garding the sinking of the steamer
Arabic with the loss of American lives
is unsatisfactory to the United States
because of Germany's failure to dis
avow the "act.", Negotiations, how
ever, will be continued through the
ambassador with view to having
Germany not only disavow the act,
but assume responsibility and liabil-
ity and make full reparation.
The note was the subject of COM
ference between President Wilson
and Secretary Lansing last night.
While officials declined to comment
in favor of the confidential character
of the negotiations, it became known
today that Count Won Bernstorff will
lie requested to come to Washington
when he will be made acquainted with
the attitude of the Washington gov
eminent toward the communication.
A rupture in diplomatic relations
ever the case is considered unlikely
unless Germany fails to satisfy the
United States.

DEMOCRATIC PARTY
HAS MADE GOOD
CHAMP CLARK SAYS ADMINS.
TRATION is SUCCESS AND
PREDICTS WILSON'S RE-
ELECTION.

st. Joseph, Mo-, Oct. 1.-.Speaker
Champ Clark, of the National House
of Representatives, in speech at the
Democratic State banquet here to-
night, reviewed the legislative record
of the Democratic party, and ex-
pressed confidence in the verdict of
the voters in the election in 1915.
Speaker Clark said in part:
,"To millions of voters the present
political situation is entirely novel.
At every Presidential election since
1896 the Republicans have held the
Federal Government and the Demo-
Gratis were fighting to wrest it from
their iron grasp. Now all this is
changed, and, as we believe, changed
for the better.
"For years those who love us. not
asserted that the Democrats were
rarty of negation, that we did not
have. sense enough to legislate. Un-
fortunately for the country major
ity of the people believed their jib-
berish for long, long time. We
wandered in the wilderness as long
as did Moses, but at last the scales
fell from the peoples eyes and they
concluded to entrust US with power
once more.
,"What happened? In two brief
years we placed on the statute books
more constructive legislation of the
most highly beneficial character
than the Republicans enacted in two
decades Legislation so good that in
addition to Democratic votes, near
all the Progressives and large per
cent of the regular Republicans voted
for our great constructive measures.
Income Tax.
"We passed a great tariff bill-the
greatest ever placed upon the statute
books. 1t contains many excellent
changes from the Payne Aldrich-
Smoot monstrosity, and it contains
cne new feature that would make it
the best Of all tariff bills even if
the rest of it were as bad as the
last Republican tariff bill, which most
emphatically it is not. That new
feature is the income tax. I make
told to predict that the income tax
provision never will be repealed.
"It is said the Underwood tariff bill
does not bring in as much revenue as
the Payne-Aldrich-Smoot bill. We
who made the Underwood bill knew
when we made it that the revenues
from tariff taxes would not be as
large under our bill as under the old
Republican bill. We drew It so on
purpose; that was one of the ends
sought. Also knowing that the Gov
ernment, would need about as much
money as usual, we made uo by the
income tax feature the loss in tariff
taxes.
"Republican orators assert that
the Underwood tariff bill, even in
Guiding the income tax feature, did
not bring in revenue enough to con-
duct the Government-w which is alb
solutely untrue. Everybody knows
that there is deficiency in the reve-
hue and that the deficiency Was caus-
ed, and still is being caused, by the
Frlropear, war"
