WHOM DO YOU BELIEVE?
Major General Peter K. Traub, teeti
fvine before Congreaeiooal Committee*
wa* a complete and heroic answer to
Governor Hoary Allen of Kansas and
other Republican »tra!egi*t» who are
attempting to make the conduct of the
war an issue for partisan aggrandise-
ment. If what Governor Allen and the
chorus of critics allege were true—but
Major General Traub proves it is the
very revorae-—every American com-
mander, from General Pershing down,
would have been guilty by commission
or omission not merely of incompetence
but of the gravest inhumanity.
In the battle of the Argonne, Amer
icau wounded were allowed to die in a
woods all day before they were taken
to the hospitals in the re. r of the Knes,
say* Governor Allen, ueneral Traub
replies that the statement is correct
But Governor Allen Implies what he
does not charge, namely, that this was
due to indifference or inefficiency,
General Traub convinced Congressmen
and Senators that the evacuation of
these wounded over open fields where
exploding shells by the thousands were
killing every living thing, and not
their detention in a place of relative
safety until they could bo removed un
der the protection of darknees, would
have been the inhumane procedure.
Governor Allen (front the security of
a shelter five miles in the wake of
General Traub’* victorious itiviisitro)
says these troops liked transport. Gen
oral Traub, who was at the front in
the thick of the fighting, says he had
(a full complement and “all the necessi-
ties to overcome any obstacle what
ever.”
Oovernor Allen (again from his
point of vantage in the rear) says
American artillery killed our own men
—a most serious charge for even a reck-
less partisan to utter. General Traub
who was in direct command of the
artillery, says there was no such blund-
er; that not a single round from an
American gun fell short or injured an
American fighter.
Governor Allen says General Traub’•
division was without sufficient sup-
port from the air. General Traub says
our airplanes were plentiful sad that
if they didn’t always hold supremacy
along the whole front it was booause
the task was impossible with fewer
than 50,000 machines.
Governor Allen finds fault with the
War Department and with the American
command. General Traub praises both,
but pays his highest tributo to the
plain “doughboys.”
Governor Allen, who was a visitor
at (or near) the front, conies back a
critic of America’s ;>art in the war.
General Traub, who was in the midst
of the bloody conflict, returns a wit-
ness to the success and glory of that
participation.
Governor Allen is a veteran politi-
cian, but an amateur tactician. Goner
al Traub is a soldier of nearly forty
years’ experience, and an able com-
mander.
General Traub helped to win the war;
Governor Aljen is trying hard to lie
•little it.
