VANCE MCCORMICK
QUITS AS CHAIRMAN
Democratic National Committeeman
to Be Ambassador
TO BE GIVEN POST AT PARIS
Reported Ambassador Sharp's Resig.
nation is Already in Hands of
the President.

Washington, Jan. 14.--Vance G.. Nc
Cormick has resigned as chairman Of
the Democratic national committee
and it is understood that he is under
consideration for appointment as
American ambassador to France to
succeed VIM. Graves Sharp. Mr..
Sharp's resignation, it said, is now in
the hands of the President, but no
announcement Of the fact has been
made.
The fact that Mr.. Mccormick had
resigned became known here tonight
although there had been no suggcs-
ton Of it when he sailed for France
two weeks ago to assist with work in
connection with the peace conference.
He went to Paris in his capacity as
the chairman Of the war trade board,
a position to which he was appointed
last year.
Officials at the White House de-
clincd to discuss the report that Mr.
Sharp would return home to be sue
ceeded by Mr.. Mccormick, but it
| seems to have credcDcc in other of
fetal circles. Mr.. Sharp was under
stood to have desired for some time
| to return to this country for rest
after his arduous duties as the Amer
| lean representative at the French
capital during the long years of war
Sharp Now in America.
Mr.. Sharp, whose name is at Elyria,
Ohio, was appointed ambassador to
France on June II, 1914, and resigned
from Congress to accept the post. Re-
Gently he was called home by the
illness Of his brother and is now in
the United States, although it is
understood that he expects to return
to France soon.
Mr.. Mccormick, who is newspaper
publisher, of Harrisburg, Pa, was
Democratic candidate for Governor oE
Pennsylvania in 1914 and was select
ed as chairman of the Democratic
national committee in 1916, conduct
ing President Wilson's campaign in
the fall Of that year. Upon being
appointed chairman Of the war trade
board after the United States entered
the war he devoted all his time to
that work.
1t was said here tonight that Ho-
mcr S. Cummings, vice chairman OF
the Democratic national committee
very probably would succeed Mr.. Nc
Cormick as the chairman of the com.
mittcc.

Gov. Allen Tells Why 35th Suffered
Heavy Casualties.
SCORES THE CENSORSHIP
Says No Lack of Bravery on the Part
Of Americans, But Huns Dom
mated Air.

Topeka, Kans., Jan. 13.-Lack of
equipment, airplanes and transporta-
tlon Facilities were responsible for the
heavy losses suffered by the Thirty
fifth division in it's drive against the
Germans in the Argonne forest. de-
clared Governor Henry J. Allen this
afternoon in an address at the city
auditorium. This address, following
the inaugural exercises, was the first
Mr.. Allen has made on his expert
ences OH the battle front while in the
Y. M, G. A. service.
Governor Allen asserted that the
Thirty-fifth suffered 1000 casualties
in the six days battle or half the
strength of the division.
Governor Allen who spent ten
months in France for the Red Cross
and Y. M. G. A., also criticised the
censorship charging that it "became
as arrogant and absolute as the cen
sorship in Germany, lacking only the
German intelligence.
"On September 25 the Thirty-fifth
division started to enter the ArgOnne, ,"
said Governor Allen. "By noon the
next day the doughboys had gone be-
yond range Of the artillery and they
fought for four days without any ar
tillery support. went along the
roads leading up TO the battle lines
choked with the bodies of borses that
had been killed or mad died in the
harness in the efforts to bring up the
artillery The lack of artillery sup
port was not due to the men or their
officers. 1t was lack of transport
We did not have enough horses and
what we did have were too old and
feeble Co do the work"
The Governor declared thai there
should have been 5000 horses instead
OF 1900 which were available when
the men entered the battle. Manv of
those available "were old ores that
the French has discarded as of no
further use to thcm," he asserted.
Yet our army paid $500 each for
these animals, only to he forced &C
shoot them a day or two later. They
were too old and feeble to do tn
work." he continued
Governor Allen declared that the
Germans maintained domination OF
the air on the American front. ave
saw much in the papers that came
to us af American domination of the
air. But we did not know that
| throughput the war it was going to
be domination of hot air." he said
Ihere was no lack of bravery on
NC per: of our inviators. Often times
they went up Knowing that one Amer
l:3h plane and one or two American
aaV'ators were pjtted against thrre
.'"r or five German planes.
MOT cDly did the airplane service
pay the price but the infantry ,alsn
pa1d the price in human life for the
protection they expected and did not
get, for there was no airpjane guard
for them"
Governor Allen said the American
soldiers are not popular with the
British but fratcrnized delightfully."-
