Entente Allies Revive Their
Original Plans.
SERVES DOUBLE PURPOSE
Landing of Tremendous Contingent
Will Meet Demands of Greece and
Render Much Needed Assistance to
lmperiled Serbs.

London, Oct 26.-Reports from va
rious sources say the entente powers
have revived their original plans and
now mean to land tremendous con-
tingent at Saloniki. This would serve
the double purpose of meeting the de-
mands of Greece and of giving effec-
tive assistance to Serbia.
Athens reports that the Greek crown
prince has gone to Saloniki, where he
will view the inpouring stream of the
French and British fighting men. 1t
is thought here that the strength of
the forces ultimately landed may de-
eide whether Greece will throw her
lot with the allies.
Each succeeding telegram from the
Balkans tells of the increasing grav-
ity of Serbias position. To the north
the Bulgarian and Austro-German
forces are within thirty-tive miles of
joining hands To the south half of
Serbian Macedonia is in possession
of the Bulgarians, if the report of
their capture of Uskup is correct
This would mean that the invaders
have in their hands nearly all the
means of communication.
French Beat Back Bulgars.
The only favorable news from the
standpoint of the entente powers is
found in the optimistic reports con
cerning the Franco-Serbian offensive
near Grivolak, where the Bulgarians
are said to be giving way before a
vigorous flank attack. Ii the British
forces have left Salonih no news of
their movements had been disclosed.
The announcement that the Ger
mans crossed the Danube at Orsaya
means that, with the Bulgarians
holding Phahovo, union of their forces
with the Austrians and Germans in
| this quarter is not far off
Fighting on the Riga-Dvinsk front
/ has broken out with renewed intensity.
/ Though the Germans apparently have
been losing heavily they have captur-
ed the village of Repe, southeast of
Riga, and have taken Illoukst, north
west Of Dvinsk. The general view is
that the Germans are planning a final
spurt before setting down in winter
quarters.

In the case of food it would be
foolish to attempt to substitute

The difference in cost Of

DIsApPR0vEs USE OF NAME.
Justice Hughes Not Candidate in
Any Sense for Presidency.

In view of recent references to the
name of Associate Justice Hughes of
the Supreme Court of the United States
as a candidate for the presidency the
following authoritative statement was
made today in his behalf and with his
approval;
the use of his name in connection with
the presidential campaign. Not only
has he no desire to re-enter politics,
hut as a member of the Supreme Court
he is not available. He is not a candi-
date In any sense, and cannot perm. t
his name to be used"
Justice Hughes attitude now is said
by his friends to be the same as it was
in 1912. when many regarded him as
a compromise candidate. He felt then
that he had taken the Supreme Court
bench as his life's work, which he thor
oughly enjoyed, and he much preferred
the seclusion and dignity of the bench
to the turmoil of political candidacy.
More recently Justice Hughes name
has been brought forward from time
to time, and within the last few days
Gov. Hatfield of West Virginia. while
in Washington, referred to the avail
ability Of Justice Hughes.
