Wartime Service
Co171 mite e S to Aid
Peace Reorganization

WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.--The war
time service committees named for
more than 500 groups OF interests TO
cooperate with government agencies in
putting the country's industry and
trade on a war basis, are looked to
now, officials said to-day, to assist in
the great task of industrial conversion
to peace conditions. These committees
probably will develop into large in
dustrial and commercial grouys, which
in turn will be federated into one
unit.
The federation will be organized, &C
cordng to present plans, at Atlantic
City. December 3, 4, 5 and 6. under
the direction of the Chamber Of Com
merce of the United States. This con-
ference will discuss methods of can
ceiling war contracts, continuation of
government control, further stabiliza-
tion of prices, means of working out
better relations with labor, continua-
tion of the conservation of materials
and labor, needs for government finan-
cial assistance during the conversion
period and absorption into business of
returning soldiers.
Information will be gathered system
ntically on estimated needs for ma.
terials, labor and credit in the next
year, stocks of materials on hand out
standing financial obligations to the
government, and similar subjects.

Colonel Of "LoSt Battalion
That F ound Itself" Is lone
Whittlesey, Who Told the Germans: You Go to He'll!
After Four Rationless Days. Opnes Perhaps the
Enemy Went, Don't Know"

Lieutenant Colonel Charles W. Whit
'iesey' whose command was engaged a
little more than month ago in as
desperate a wilderness fight as is to be
found in the annals of colonial or bor-
der history, got back yesterday on the
transport Plattsburg. Then major,
he headed the "lost battalion" that
was cut off for four days in the Ar
Division. After four rationless days,
when the Germans demanded his sur
render, Major Whittlesey replied to the
messenger: "You go to hell!"
Perhaps the enemy went--I don't
know" said Colonel Whittlesey yester-
day.
From October until the night of
October Major Whittlesey, with be-
tween 600 and 700 men of the 1st and
2d Battalions Of the 3O8th Infantry and
Company of the 3O7th Infantry. was
surrounded by Germans in the Ar
gonne Forest, there q tangle so thick
that the range of vision id not exceed
thirty feet. Each man had 220 rounds
of ammunition and about half of them
had one days rations; the rest had no
food
"The spot we occupied" said Colonel
Vhittlesey, "was perhaps 800 yards long
an acre or so of ground. To the
north hill rose steeply above us. The
Germans were hidden there, looking
down on us as if we were in cup.
Below us was swamp and marsh to
which, fortunately, we could make our
way at night and get drinking water,
crawling through the machine gun fire
which the Boche sprayed around the
pool.

guns there. sent Company E Of the
I'd Battalion, under Lieutenant Will

from the west. Lieutenant Leake came
back in few hours with eighteen men,
saying that Lieutenant Wilhelm with
the rest had been surrounded, but had
cut their way to regimental headquar-
ters. Many of his command were lost.
however.
"That morning, October 3, some Of
the runners whom | had sent to our
outposts came back to tell me that
they had been cut off, others had been
captured. We knew then that we had
been surrounded and it was simply a
matter of sticking there until rein
forcements came up"
Their problem thus "simply" solve d
for them, Major Whittlesey and his
men "stuck." Every afternoon after
sending a tempest of machine gun and
trench mortar fire into the hollow the
Germans would advance, yelling, as
Colonel Whittlesey put it, ''lke 10000
devils Their charge would carry
them to within twenty yards of where
the Americans were stretched out fiat
in the underbrush, whanging away
promptly at every glimpse of darting
gray figure.
But never were the Germans able to

push the charge home. Always that
last twenty yards Of actual visibility
gave them pause, and, after hurting
their backloads of grenades, they
would withdraw. One hundred and
seven Americans were killed The
number of Germans could not be estl-
mated, as most of the bodies were

He is forty-three years old and used
to be broker in New York. He was
wounded in the knee on the second day
of our advance, but Kept up and
cheered his men on, though he suffered
so much he was unable to sleep. One
day he was hit in the shoulder by q

exploded just after it had passed over

his back. But he still kept his men
going.

that's the way they all were"
The scanty rations were exhausted
the first day. Then the men tried eat
ing leaves and roots, but found them
neither palatable nor nourishing. A
water party on its way to the pool sur
prised wild boar one night. but the
surprise was mutual, and the boar took
his hams and spareribs to a previously
prepared position. Relief came on the
evening of the day the demand to sur
render was received.
"We ourselves did not know that
help was so close at hand" said the
colonel, "but we stuck on, and that
it's way to us. The Germans retired
then. Back of US came the whole 77th
Division, advancing along the whole
line We marched out with eighty
seven men of my battalion-the 1st-
and 1o7 men of the I'd, under Cap
tain McMurtrie, unwounded. All the
rest of our men were either killed or
wounded"
Colonel Whittlesey is about thirty
five years old and more than six feet
tall. He was graduated from Williams
College in 1905, and left his law prac-
tice with the firm of Pruyn & Whittle-
sey to go to the Plattsburg training
camp. He went to Mineola last night,
and expects to be assigned to Camp Dix
after visiting his home, in Pittsfeld,
Mass. November 21 he will be the guest
Of the Williams Club.

uncertainty that future use of the

The fact that the mastering out of
men in this country would enable them
to return to civil occupations immedi-

American camps until the demobiliza-

WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-The War

of the individual is required by reason

A general order was sent by Secrc-

charges be authorized of officers and
men in this country until the War
Department has adopted a general
rehabilitation policy, which is now
under consideration

These resolutions present a striking
contrast to the wild language of Boil

in Mexico especially has been away
from impossible theories and toward
practical and constructive measures.
This is indicated in the character Of
organization. Three years ago the

purely syndialist organization, domi-
mated Mexico. To-day the Mexican
