ALLEN men MEET
Conference Held at Topeka
Headquarters Today.
Campaign Workers Say Aliens
Strength Is Increasing.

Members of the Henry j. Allen
gubernatorial campaign committee
were discussing political war strategy
in Topeka this afternoon. A number
of the members of the committee at
tended the conference in Allen head
quarters in the Central National bank
building. 1t was stated that the con-
ference was called only for general
discussion of campaign plans.
All members of the committee in
Topeka today expressed genuine sat
isfaction regarding conditions in vari-
Gus sections of the state. Reports
which they brought to Topeka were
to the effect that Allen sentiment is
increasing in almost every locality.
THE sentiment behind the Allen
movement means but one thing" said
Fred Z. Stanley. of Wichita Republic
can national committeeman for Kan
sas. 1T simply means that Allen will
clean the decks in the August pri-
maries. I'M every county l have
visited and in every locality from
which 1 have received reports, Allen
is growing in strength. OF course one
or two of the candidates against Henry
have directed some personal attacks
toward him. That is all right. When
ever a person directs his campaign
harpoons at a man who is 1000 miles
away from home and will take nc
hand in the campaign, the average
voter will. be his own judge as to fail
methods and policies in politics"
Prominent among the men attend
ing today's conference are Willis J
Bailey. of Atchison. former governor
and chairman of the Allen campaign
committee; William Allen White o.

New York, April 24.-Every en-
gagement between German and Amer
lean forces that results in no more
than an even distribution of casual
ties is a defeat for Germany, because
of the already depleted condition or
German man-pOwer.
The casualty results alone, therS
fore, of the fight at Seicheprey would
mean a German defeat even if the
Germans had retained permanent
possession of al sector of the American
front. The highest strategy confront
ing General Pershing is the strategy
of killing Germans. When Won Hin

Doesn't Know "WeIl Enough"
This spirit of restlessness is the
greatest 1ault OF the German n1lHtar-
lists and by its operation alone means
their ultimate undoing. The Germans
are wholly incapable of letting well
enough alone. That is the reason why
they embarked on their submarine
warfare which forced America into
the war; that is why they started their
present west front offensive which is
proving to be without adequate COM
pensation for the terrible slaughter OF
German man-power; that is why every
major mistake of the German mill
