FALLEN IS. RIGHT"
Congressman Anthony Upholds
Governors Charges.
Good Generalship Could Have
Supported the 35th.

.AIRPLANE EFFORT LACKING
Artillery Horses Were NOtOri'
OusIy Poor, He Says.
Removal of General Martin
Was Mistake.

Washington. June 2.-In a prepared
statement for his own paper, the Leav-
enworth Times. Representative Dan
Anthony of Kansas, who went over the
battle field over which the 35th divi-
sion fought, gives detailed descr4p-
ton of the testimony the house mill
tary affairs committee got of the part
the S5th division played IN the Ar
gonne battle and the charges that
grew out of the battle of bad divisional
management and lack of artillery and
airplane support.
The most striking portion of Repre-
sentative Anthony's interesting ac-
count of the view of the general staff
of the battle and his own conclusions
after hearing this testimony is his ac-
count of an interview with Major Gem
eral Summerall, division commander
of the First division of regulars,
which relieved the S5th. They were
standing on the battlefiend when
Representative Anthony asked the
general, one of the biggest figures in
the A. E. F., what he had done when
the First went in. General Summer
all replied that he had got more ar
tiliery. He said he massed $50 guns
and literally blasted his way thru the
Germans positions which had cost the
35th SO heavily and which held back
the First until these guns were
massed. In this massing. he lined up
the artillery quotas of three divisions
in addition to the army and corp
quotas of artillery. Representative
Anthony, after going over the field.
said it showed how this massing of
artillery had literally blown the battle
positions to pieces. Anthony says that
good generalship should have OBJ
tanned this extra artillery, somehow.
for the 35th. and that in this criticism
Governor Alien is justified.
Sustains Allen Charges.
Representative Anthony also says
that the evidence shows sthese other
facts sustaining Governor Aliens
charges:
That the horses with which the
artillery was equipped were noto-
riously poor.
That the airplane support was lack
ing.
That the removal of General Martin
and General Mcclure and other COM
manders imme diately before the bat
tie was mistake and contributed to
the confusion and bad staff work.

Subscribe to Funds.
W. D. Jameson, director of finance
of the national committee, predicted
here today that one million men and
women would subscribe to popular
Democrat campaign funds next year.
In 1912 there were eighty thausand
contributors to a fund of more than
a million dollars. Jameson believes
million individual contributions will
come to the committee in the next six
teen months.
This subscription campaign will
give us the money with which to make
the fight next year." said Jameson.

will give assurance in advance of the
election of the success of the party at
the polls and an endorsement of the
achievement of the administration
during the last seven years.
Mrs George Bass and Mrs.

women workers and voters this after

Clemenceau finished speaking at
1929. (His speech was then trans
lated into English, Italian and Ger
man, and the treaty was presented to
the Austrians at 1850.
DR.. Karl Renner, Austrian chancel-
Tor, arose and replied in French.
While he was speaking a glass case
containing relics of the stone age (the
chateau is used as a national mu-
seum) burst and interrupted him mo-
mentarily.
1--WE trust in your sense of justice
and practical spirit not to demand
that we be crushed" said Renner.
We are disposed to recognize our
own responsibilities and accept our
share in proportion with the other
great powers. go
Our revolution was pacific and
without military action. 1t was sim
ply a social revolution. as peaceable
and as reasonable as possible, and we
will not depart from that line of con-
duct and policy if you give US the
peace of justice and democracy neces-
sary for our economic existence"
Wants All To Share.
Renner argued that all the peoples
OF the former Austro-Hungarian en-
pire should share in the responsible
ties and cost of the war. Describing
conditions in Austria, he said:
only by the relief organized by
Herbert Hoover have we avoided alb
solute starvation"
In conclusion Renner said:
You may rest assured that our
foremost wish is cooperation accord
ing TO our strength and within uncon-
tested boundaries to secure possession
of our liberties and civilization. We
will cooperate to the fullest possible
extent in the league OF nations for at
tainment of world peace"
Following translation of Renner's
speech into English and Italian, Gle
menceau asked if the Austrians had
any more to say. They replied in the
negative.
The Austrian delegates appeared in
morning dress while most of the allied
representatives wore business suits.
Mrs. Diaz, wife of the Italian general,
was the only woman present.
The meeting adjourned at 1914 p. m.
