''Domination of Hot Air''

TOPEKA, Kan, Jan. 13-Lack of
equipment, airplanes and transporta-
ton. facilities were responsible for the
heavy losses suffered by the 35th Di-
vision in its drive against The Germans
IN the Argonne Forest. declared Gov
errbr Henry J. Allen this afternoon in
an didress at the City Auditorium.
His speech, following the inaugural ex-
crcises, was the first Governor Allen
has made on his experiences on the
battlefront while in the Y. NJ. c. A.
service.
Governor Allen asserted that the 35th
suffered 1000 casualties in the six
days battle, or half the strength of
the division.
Censorship Arrogant
Governor Allen. who spent ten
months in France for the Red Cross
and Y. NJ. G: A., also criticised the CEN
aorsAip, charging that it "bccame as
arrogant and absolute as the censor
ship of Germany, lacking only the
German intelligence"

KILLED or lad died in the harness in

The lack of artillery support was not
due to the men or their officers. 1t
was lack Of transport. We didn't have
enough horses, and what we did have
were too old and feeble to do the
work"
Discarded Horses Used
1he Governor declared that there
should have been 5000 horses instead
OF 300, which were available when
the men entered the battle, and many
discarded as Of no further use 10
thcn."
"Yct our army paid $4oo each for
tncsc animals, only to he forced to
shoot them a day or 50 later because
they were too old and feeble to do the
work." he continued
Governor Allen said the Germans
maintained domination of the air on
the American front. Owe saw much in
the papers that came to us of Amcri
can domination of the air. But we did
rot know that throughout tho war it
was going to be domination of hot
air. he said.
No Lack of Bravery
"Thcre was no lack of bravery on the
part Of our avators. Oftentjmes they
went up knowing that one American
plane and one or two American avia-
tors were pitted against three, four or
five German planes.
Not only did the airplane service
ray the price, but the infantry also paid
TIE price in human life for the pro
lection they expected and did not get.
For there was no airplane guard for
