The British plan for the Allies to

The New Commander OF Our Army
OF Occupation.

Major-Genenl HENRY T. ALLEN.
who succeeded Lieutenant General
LIGGETT as commander of the Amcri-
can Army Of Occupation, was much
admired both as soldier and a man
by President ROOSEVELT.
General ALLEN was member OF
the General Staff and saw service in
Cuba as volunteer officer: but he
will be best remembered by his ad-
ministrative work in the Philippines.
He organized the constabulary of the
islands and he was for some time
Governor OF Leyte. The islanders
liked him so we'll that they gave him
a special vote of thanks.
The same tact and common sense
which he displayed in the Philippines
will evidently be needed along the
Rhine before the last American SOL
