arrest at Camp Travis on charge
of disloyalty.” This is the state-
ment of Major General Henry T,
Allen, commanding the Ninetieth
Division at Camp Travis.
General Allen emphatically
denies the rumor to the effect
that many soldiers and their
families have become ill as a re-
sult of eating food in which
ground glass has been added
presumably by alien enemies.
Rumors had been current of the
action of aliens in placing ground
glass in food in all sections of
the United States, but direct
charges alleging detection of
such work at Camp Travis had
never been made until recently
when an officer, formerly cor-
cected with the camp military
police was given as authority,
Every instance reported to the
Ninetieth Division Headquarters
has been thoroughly investigat-
ed. Every report was carefully
traced down, but absolutely no
ground* were found to warrant
belief that ground glass had
been placed in foods, nor has
there been any case of illness
Jthat oould be attributed to such
a cause.
Parents of the thousands of
soldiers at Camp Travis have
been misled in believing that the
soldiers were being fed food tha'
contained ground glas3. As a
result numerous letters and t le-
gramshave been received askii g
confirmation of rumors. In or-
der to put at ease the minds of
all persons interested in men at
Camp Travis, General Allen has
issued a fiat denial of any of the
statements made either as to
ground glass or the detention of
Mennonite preachers within the
camp on the grounds of disloyalty
The officer responsible for the
rumors is now in the hospital.
He is suffering with a nervons
break down.
France is also rushing troops to
the points where the battle rag-
es fiercest. The Germans are
still incurring frightful losses
There were rumors last week
that the German fleet would
come ou\ So far there are no
9ighs of its doing so. We are in
hopes that within a few days
the German Commanders will be
convinced that their victories
are costing them too many men.
We are by no means sure of this
however.

A GENERALISSIMO FOR
THE ALLIES.
The News believes that the
success of Pres. Wilson in hav-
ing Gen. Foch appointed to the
supreme command of the Allied
forces, is one of the most im-
portant things the American
government has accomplished.
We do not know yet that Eng-
land and Italy have fully acced-
ed to the plan; but the papers
all appear to think there is no
doubt that they will.
One ne.ed’nt be a West Point
graduate to see the advantage
which one set of armies led (p
by a single commander would
have over another set of equally
good armies led by three or four
different commanders, More
than any other one thing, this
multiplicity of commanders has
hindered the success of the Al-
lies in the past.
