GEN. TRAUB FORGOT
 ASCENDING OF HIS
 ORDER ALLEN SAYS
Kansas Governor Renews Attack in Address Before
 University Students.

Lawrence, Kan, March 6.-"Gener- al Peter Traub does not remember that he rescinded his order sending I. M. C. A. and Red Cross workers to the rear," during the battle of the Argonne, Governor Henry J. Allen said today in explaining his presence the front as against General Traub's testimony before the house rules com |mittee in Washington. that if Cover nor Allen was at the front it was in violation of orders.
 General Traub's testimony was that If Governor Allen said he was at the front, he was there, but officially none of the Y. NJ. c. A. workers had any place at the front"
 General Traub explained that the workers unconsciously revealed mill. tary plans when they were up at the fighting line, and that, for this req son. all such workes had been given instructions before the battle to go to the rear and stay there. General Traub must have known Y. NJ. c. A. and Red Cross workers were at the front during the battle for after the battle he wrote letter commenting their work l have a copy of the letter." said Governor AL len.
 "Such statements are now being made in high command, merely cloud the issue and do not apply to the charges made regarding the delin. quencies of the high command with regard to the sending of the Thirty Fifth division into battle poorly equipped and not giving them the proper support.
 ''I do not wish to enter into con- troversy with General Traub as te the matter, but when he seems delib. erately to forget that he rescinded the order sending the Y. NJ. C. A workers and Red Cross men to the rear and is publicly indicating tha, l. with others, deliberately disobeyed orders, some response from me is necessary"
