Major General Henry Tureman Allen has consented to speak at the Union sometime within the next two weeks, according to an announcement made yesterday by C. P. Fordyce, 1L graduate secretary of the Union. General Allen has a notable war record. In July of 1919 he become the commander-in-chief of the American forces on the Rhine and later become the United States representative on the Inter-Allied Rhineland High Commission. He will speak on "The European Situation As I Saw It."
A wide variety of experiences in foreign countries under many conditions is at General Allen's command. In 1885-6 he was on an exploring expedition in Alaska. From 1890-95 he served as a military attache in Russia, and from 1895-98 he acted in the same capacity in Germany. He was called from this life to the Phillipines in 1898, when the Spanish-American War broke out. Here he spent a few years.
General Allen was detailed to the Mexican border at the time of the trouble there, and in 1916 he took command of the cavalry section of the Mexican Expeditionary Force, which made an incursion into Mexican territory in that year.
When the United States entered the World War early in 1917, he was among the first to cross. He participated in the St. Mihael and Argonne-Meuse offensives.
General Allen is the author of the "Reconnaissance of Copper, Tannuna, and Kuyukuk Rivers" and "The Military System of Sweden."
