WILCOX MEETS
CAMPAIGN HEADS
National Chairman Learns
Indiana and Midwest
Are for Hughes.

William r. Wilcox, chairman OF
the Republican National Committee
met the leading Western campaign
managers Yesterday for an important
discussion of financial and campaign
matters. A. T. Hert. OF Kentucky, IN
charge of the Chicago headquarters
came to town with Frederick Upham,
assistant treasurer They went to
luncheon at Mr.. Willcox's house and
met Alvah Martin, Herbert Parsons,
Everett Colby. F. ". Estabrook and
Cornelius y. Bliss, treasurer of the
national committee.
The reports that Mr.. liert brought
on from the West were glowing lie
feels certain, from indications IN lndi-
ana that Charles l.. Hughes VIII
carry that doubtful state. Mr.. hert
sent men out from Chicago headquar-
tiers three or four days behind the
Hughes train on the candidates re-
cent trip, and the sentiment they
found was ell IN MIR. Hughes's favor
The x-justices speeches had made a
profound impression.
Mr.. Hert declared that the tariif
was the big issue in the West. The
Middle West. especially. is interested
in knowing what the Republican party
intends 20 do to meet the conditions
that will face this country when the
European War ends.
incidentally, the growing importance
of this issue recalls the fact that,
when Senator Harding, of Ohio. key
noter at the Republican National Con-
vention. predicted it as the big fac
tor in the campaign he was sat upon
fguratively by many of the party
leaders. Mr.. Hughes takes the same
view Of the tariff as an issue that
Senator Harding and Mr.. Hert do.
The financial part Of the campaign,
however. was the principal point Of
discussion at the Wilcox luncheon.
Mr.. Bliss reported the success Of his
Sustaining membership contribution
scheme. SO satisfactory is this
method Of gathering funds proving to
be that. if it can be established on
permanent basis. it will play an i'm
portant part in future campaigns.

Kalogeropoulos Has Many
Ties with France and
England.
NEW CABINET SAID
TO FAVOR A WAR
Allies Are Not Consulted
When Members Are
Sworn In.
fBv Cable 10 The Tribune }

London. Sent. ia new Cabinet has
been sworn IN Ut Athens. The Premier
is Nikolas Kalogeropoulos, well
known lawyer and supporter OF the
Entente cause.
Dispatches from Athens say that the
new ministry is considered to be IA
vorable toward Greek entry into the
war. But no wider power is given 1t
than was allowed its predecessors. And
Zaimis. il must be remembered, found
that his power was not enough to cope
with the new situation.
No Entente minister was consulted
before the Cabinet was sworn in.
Whether it stands or falls seems to
rest. therefore, on its policy, which
will soon be made clear. If it persists
in following the course Of benevolent
neutrality outlined by Zaims it is not
likely 20 remain i'm power long.
While the Dobrudja situation re-
mains doubtful and the Bulgars con-
tinue to advance, the Greek muddle is
likely to continue. There is, however,
n possibility that the Allies, whose pa
thence is nearly exhausted. will assume
complete control of the situation.
This they hesitate to do, but events
may force them 10 act.
Apparently the only solution Of the
tangled situation lies in the ability OF
Venizelos and his party TO get control.
toward
Venizelos, but he is not an active sup
porter of the Nenizelos party. There
is a chance, however, that the growing
resentment in Greece against the Bull
gars-stirred TO new depths by the
Kavala incident-will lead him to ad-
vOcate war.
New Premier a Lawyer.
N. Kalogeropoulos is considered one
of the most clever lawyers IN Greece'
and has received the degree of doctor
of laws from the University of Paris.
He lived for a long time in France. and
has close relations with Great Brit
ain. He was Minister of Finance for
brief time in 19O4-'O5 and Minister OF
the Interior in the Theotokis Cabinet

British Front in France, Sept. 10
The work Of the new armored cars IN
cooperation with the British infantry
in their charges in yesterdays success
full attack is the one theme Of CONVEX
SETON throughout the army to-day.
"The idea was so good when it was
offered" said a staff officer, that we
had some built. and the way they have
gone over the German trenches and
have enfladed them with machine gun
fire is some return for the surprise the
Germans gave us with their gas attacks
in the first battle of Ypres."
Evidently the British were able to
keep the building of the. c cars entirely
secret. and the first that the Gerntns
knew Of their existence was when in
the misty dawn yesterday they came
trundling across shell craters and over
tree stumps, cutting down many small
trees on their way toward the German
trenches, on to the second line, and
even TO the third line. The return 70
earth Of ichthyosaurs spouting bullets
from their nostrils could not have been
more amazing.
Nicknamed Tanks"
Tanks" is the slang word the army
staff has applied TO these strange crea-
tiOns of machinery, but they look less
like tanks than anything else. They
have been compared both to armadillos
and measuring worms and TO many
other weird creeping or crawling OBJ
jects. A man-Of-war's turret crossing
fields. in and out Of gulleys and through
fences would present spectacle re-
sembling their progress.
During the days preceding the attack,
as they moved up to the front and the
soldiers gazed at them. the disabilities
Of all ranks were tickled. All sorts of
questions were propounded. Would the
thing stand when it was hitched? And
what was it fed? which was its tail
and which its head? At all events, it
was a steel-iointed incarnation Of mill
