Nearly famished, the men of the

evening after having been surrounded
by an enemy force for more than
four days in the Argonne forest are
now recovering from their expert
ence.
The men had subsisted partly on
oak leaves and many units were so
depleted by minor injuries and weak
ness that wounded men had to take
turns at guard duty.
When they reached the American
lines they we're white and exhausted
but were infinitely proud of their
gallant stand. All were more willing
to tell the story of the escape Of
their comrades and officers than to
tell Of their own experiences. Major
Whittlesey was in command OF the
battalion.
A group of privates told Of a sec

In expressing his ppontment,
Representative Tess said the Presi-

which the country has been warned.
THE way has been opened, said
Mr.. Tess, for Germany to save her
self by withdrawing her armies
within her own border by agreement
rather than by retreat under fire as
she has been forced to do the last
four weeks.
Peace discussions with Germany
before our armies are on her soil will
not insure the future. The imperial
chancellor, the appointee Of the kai-
ser and as such the spokesman of the
HohenZollern government will doubt

Three. five, seven minutes later the
lieutenant's telephone rings again, and
he turns to his visitor with the resas-,

Many Of the men were suffering
