nations OF Y M. G. a. missionaries
and Methodist parsons, the over
man committee, appointed recently

an authority to the stand today IL
the person of John Reed.
Reed who was present in Petro-
grad at the time of the November
revolution and who enjoys the init
mate friendship of many of the most
influential Russian officials, was able
to furnish a straightforward account

work" He told of the time he had
spent in the international reVolu-

press has been circulating. He sale
that he had discussed the matter ol
establishing such a bureau with sew

added:
"There are some wealthy women
in New York who have nothing else
to do with their money.
He said that he did not speak at
the meeting in Il Washington theatel

the present investigation because he
was considered too disreputable

SAYS MANY YhNkS Died
NEEDLESSLy IN WAR
Governor Allen of Kansas
Tells Congress of Mil
itary Mistakes.

Washington, Feb. 22.--American
boys were needlessly sacrificed in the
last hours of fighting on the west
front, Gov Henry Allen of Kansas
told the house rules committee Tues
day.
Col. Carl Ristine, 139th infantry,
in Il letter to Allen, read before the
house rules committee, said:
Someone ought to tell about the
things over here; how we were
stripped of blankets and had summer
underwear and no oVercOats for the
Argonne fight-during which wound
ed men almost froZe to death. No
ambulances for 36 hours, and then
only six to nine small ones to haul
6,400 wounded in six days. These
ambulances frequently took as long
as Sc hours to get to the field hos
pital, and many died on the way. We
finally evacuated the stretcher cases
by the hundreds in trucks. We were
ordered to leave our kitchens behind
and they sent us to the firing line
beef, cabbage, egg plant and toilet
paper as food, and for a long period
after we came out of the fight they
sent us bully beef in tins and other
field rations which we should have
had in the fight
When Allen later appeared before
the senate military affairs committee
Senator Kirby, democrat, Arkansas
asked the purpose of Aliens testi
mony.
1--WE won the war, didn't we?'
Kirby asked.
'Yes, but at such fearful cost
that we would be foolish not to find
out where the money went, and why
our boys had to meet with theil
own bodies the German troops,
Allen answered.
