MAKES DENIAL CHARGES MADE
 BY GOV. ALLEN

WASHINGTON. Feb. 20.-R)- Major.General Peter Traub. who was in command of the 35th division during the battle of Argonne. ap- peared before the house rules com. mittee today and made strong denial of the charges preferred by Governor Harry J. Allen, of Kansas. that many men of the American army were needlessly sacrificed during that bat tie thru the lack of sufficient horses to move the artillery to their sup port after they had taken enemy positions.
 In refuting these charges the ma jor.general cited many instances where the infantry arms were suf- ficient to hold what they had won. He mentioned that advance made on the Argonne front by the Ameri. can troops wherein they took a front of three kilometers to a depth of twelve and one half kilometers against three crack divisions of the Germany army and holding them. These gains, he stated. were made in the first three hours of the battle. The French had not been able to accomplish this in four years.

DECLARES THAT
 GERMAN PEOPLE
 MISUNDERSTOOD

BRUSSELS. Feb. 1s.-R-Accord- ing to British wireless despatch Maximilian Harden in an interview with newspaper correspondents de- clared that the German people were misled' concerning the cause of the war. At the outbreak of the hostili. ties, according to Harden, the Gr. man population was led by skilful propaganda to believe that the Teu- ton government was in the right.
 He states that he believes the Ger man people were right in their hearts then as they are now and they should not be blamed for the war. In his interview, Harden said that the kais- CT was drawn into the war against his wishes but after the outbreak, the German ruler kept alive the na uonal hatred. Wilhelm, says liar den, did everything in his power tO avert the war put once flnulnE that 1t was impossible he then did everything he could to have Germany emerge the victor.
 He says that the Germans do not understand that their violation Of Belgium's neutrality turned an en- frightened world against the German nation. He accounts for this misun. derstanding by explaining tha, the Germans had been led to believe that they committed no extraordinary act when the Teuton army invaded the the neutral country.
 His interview with the correspor dents summed up to be a list c: excuses for the acts of the German people and, also. for their present state of mind. Maximilian Harden placed the blame for the war upon no particular group of persons and did not definitely say who had mis- led the German people.

Among those may be mentioned Barney Leslie. Tom Mur- phy. MT. and Mrs. Carl Brandstetter and Bill Ovens.

 Brandstetter has been engaged for the past three years in running a bedrock drain on Caribou creek to tap some wet ground on which he located pay some years ago. En. gagged with him in the work Is his wife. who does her share of the work Not only does she assist him in digging out the drain but keeps the camp in meat. killing nearly all the moose and caribou that is need ed by them.
 The bedrock drain being put in Is in the nature of a tunnel. starting some three claims downstream from the one intended to be drained. Shafts are sunk at regular intervals for the circulation of air and to bring the dirt to the surface.
 Barney Leslie, who is prospecting on the lower end of Caribou, is the genius who constructed with his own hands the wonderful high-power gun that was on display at Bob Blooms store about year ago. This gun has been the sole means for procur- ing the meat supply of the Leslie camp. Leslie has recently built an other rife which surpasses his first CTcdllOu.
