Kansas City among its many claims to

a building on Main street, not far from
the court house. The gambling room Is
gaudily decorated and furnished, and brill

Washington, D.. C.-The resources of

chief agricultural products-currants, the
vine and the olive-are to be classed
among the luxuries rather than the ne
cessities.
Including the territory acquired
through the treaties of the first and sec
ond Balkan wars, Greece has an area
about equal to the combined areas of Bel
GUM, Holland and Denmark. With the
Albanian territory of North Epirus, which
the entente allies permitted her to occupy
in November, 1911, her total area now ex-
ceeds 5000 square miles, being about as
large as the state of Mississippi, but with
a population 5000, 0O0b two and three
fourths as great, nearly approximating
that Of Illinois.

HITCHCOCK FIELD MARSHAL. !"
To Take Active Control Of Republican
Firing Line in West.

| Chicago, Oct. frank II. Hitchcock,
republican national chairman in 1908
and former postmaster general, Is now
the responsible authority in general
charge Of the Hughes campaign.
William r. Wilcox remains as chair
man of the national committee. He is
not to be disturbed in his conduct of
| that post and the general party ma
chinery is to be maintained intact as
| now organized.
Mr. Hitchcock becomes active field
| marshal in immediate direction of re-
publican forces on the firing line He
assumed command yesterday when he
| reached Chicago.
This was learned last night from an
entirely responsible authority. 1t is &C
ceptei as closing series of incidents
that have created more or less friction
within republican circles ever since the
elevation ofNMr. Wilcox to the national
craftsmanship, and which was accen-'
tuated during the tour of Mr.. Hughes
to the Pacific coast.
That the remainder of the active
work of the national campaign may be
conducted from Chicago under Mr.,
Hitchcock's leadership is entirely pos
sible, judging by information available
last night
Mr.. Hitchcock's immediate headquar-
tiers were established in Chicago at
western headquarters in the Conway
building. The western headquarters
sent out a bulletin TO this effect last
night. He is to remain in Chicago for
at least a week, and after trip thru
some debatable western territory will
return here.
Eastern states, from republican
point of view are considered lin good
shape" as one of the party leaders said
last night. New York is held absolute
ly safe for Hughes by republican man
ayers and northern states and all New
England have been marked up for re-
publicans ever since the Maine cleo
ton.
Campaign strategy turns to the mid
die west and to metropolitan centers,
where questions raised by the enact
ment of the Adamson law and the I'M
rest In labor circles have prevented an
accurate political line on November
possibilities. In bunch of states where
direct primaries have been late and
where considerable factional feeling
was generated, party managers In both
camps realize conditions are critical
just Tow, with election day five weeks
away.
Mr.. Hitchcock's job as field marshal.
ii is understood. will be to shake off
the lethargy reported in some state
committees and local organizations and
to stir up some "old timers who APP
pear to have accepted Hughes 'nomin-
alton as an equivalent Of election.
