The Topeka Journal says there is
one correspondent who is entirely ig-

only representative of Kansas among
the war newspaper men, Mr.. Henry
Allen, now OF the ottawa Herald. Not
long ago Miss Reasoner said things
about Mr.. Allen which might hal e
been construed to reflect upon his
personal prowess and it is to be re
gretted that Mr.. Davis has not come
to his defense.
1t surely is not possible That Allen
is one of the men referred 20 by Gen

prove how he charged the Spaniards
