Kansas Governor Insists Soldiers

Despite Bakers EigurcS-Shortagc
OF Artillery Cost Many Lives.
Ounnlittec 35th

Washington, Feb. Evidence OF
officers and men who fought with the
35th division Kansas and Missouri
troops, III the battles of the Argonne
forest was presented to the mousse
rules committee today by Governor
Allen of Kansas, in support OF his
charges OF needless sacrifice of life
because of lack of artillery and air
craft support. Total casualties of
the 35th, the governor declared, eN-
ceeded 5000, despite the war depart
ment figures
Comments On Total Casualties.
In q very pettifoggy document,' he
said, referring to the departments IS
announcement of major casualties,
the war department has stated all
casualties totaled $4,000. These were
the major casualties, but have beel
taken by many people to be the total,
leading them, the department in
tended, to say that's not so bad
In this announcement the depart
ment admits 1,I33 dead and missing
in the 35th division, and to this must
be added 5000 that passed through
the divisions triage, and 1,400 that
went through other stations or direct
ly to the rear"
Governor Allen read q report of the
officer who was in charge of the
triage or field station, Captain Harry
r. Hoffman a Chicago doctor, which
said, "a total of 6,301 cases of all
kinds passed through the triage of
the 35th division"
Artillery Held Up.
Governor Allen declared that COM
ments of men who took part III the
battle showed that the Americans
thought the German artillery with in
fantry arms because a shortage of
horses had DELAYED the artillery move
melt; that Germans were supreme in
the air, sometimes flying so low as to
kill American wounded by their fire;
that American artillery fire fell into
it's own lines, killing and woundilg
men because of lack Of aircraft to sig
nal the artillery
Names of most of the men were
given to the committee in confidence
by Governor Allen because he said he
merely wished to present evidence as
to whether an investigation should be
made by congressional committee.
Predicts Big Investigation.
IT imagine this is only the fore
runner of a very comprehensive inVes-
tigation,'' commented Chairman Pou
inQuiring how it was possible for the
Americans to win the battle which
army officials said was one Of the
greatest victories Of the war
"EverYthing over there fell down
except the raw man power" answered
Governor Allen. IF it was necessary
to fight artillery with infantry arms,
the Americans did it. But they fought
in the Argonne with less mechanical
assistance than if they were troops
from Indo-China. The blame most
certainly attaches to those whose
duty it was to supply that.
Shortage of planes Also.
THE shortage of airplanes belongs
to the mystery of the aircraft serN-
ice" continued the governor. "a
French officer said if they fought like
that their army would have been
wiped out the first year,

same instant he was shot through the stomach. As he fell forward, an other bullet struck him on the top of the head, tearing away the back part of his skull.
 Another man, named Howard, tried to slip out of the saloon, but was spotted by one of the gang and shot, dying in couple of days Then Mrs. Bob Roberts, who conducted the restaurant across the street from the store, went to the door and was shot through the stomach. She died that night.
 Krigbaum was home when the shooting started. and taking his gun, made a run for Main street. Just be- fore he got to the street a friend ran to him, shouting:
 For Gods sake, Krigbaum, don't go out there-they're killing every one in sight"
 Krigbaam. however, crept to the corner of the building, and took two shots at the robbers, when he was seen by the member of the gang who was guarding the horses, and who opened fire. while the main gang also turned their guns in his direction. Then Roberts, husband of the woman who had been shot, begged him to go to Tombstone for a priest, and Krigbaum, cutting across the hills, made the Journey in two hours. He remained in Tombstone a couple of days, until he had recovered from the effects of his ride. and then returned to Bisbee In the meantime the rob- bers had gotten safely away-and with little money, for the stage which was to bring the payroll money had been delayed. and did not arrive III Hisbee until the following day.
 The long chase for the robbers then began. The first to be captured were Howard and Sampel, who were traced through a watch which Sample had taken from Go1dwater's safe. The time-piece, it appears, belonged to one William Clancy, to whom it had been presented by the workers of a mine in Nevada of which he had been foreman. Sample had girl in Clifton, who had taken up with an other lover in his absence. and to her Sample gave the watch. When the rewards for the capture of the rob bers were published, the girls par amour suspected Sample, and told the sheriff at Clifton, who traced Sample and. Howard into the hills and caught them while they were cleaning their guns.
