THE LOST BATTALION
LIEUTENANT WHITTESLEYS OWN STORY


Lieut.. Col. Charles w. Whittle-
Isey, leader of "The Lost Battalion"
of 700 Americans who, surrounded
by thousands of Germans in the
Argonne Forest, held out for five
days until relief came, arrived in
New York from France the other
day. Col. Whittlesey narrated the
story of "The Lost Battalion"
Cut off from their fellows, with
out ammunition and raked day and
night by whitening Boche mach
inc gun fire, with hundreds Of
Germans attacking like 10000 wild
devils all day." Whittlesey's plucky
little band had decided to die fight
ing gloriously. They faced starva-
tion, had given up hope of REIN
forcements arriving in time to save
them.
Refused to Surrender
"Then, Octover 7, the fifth day
that we had been hemmed in the
ravine, with the Germans firing
down at us from the hills" Col.
Whittlesey said, "there came a
German, bearing a white flag. He
brought is a typewriter message,
which ran about as follows:
"'We have heard the cries of
your wounded. 1t is impossible for
you to escape. Why do you not sur
render in the name of humanity
Send back your reply by messenger
carrying a white flag
"We did not know that REIN
forcements were near at hand, and
we thought we would all die OF
starvation. We had made up oul
minds never to surrender, but tc
die as men. So, when | yelled &c
to He'll all the men roared 'Righ-
to-! Stick, boys! Never say die!
and gritted their teeth to face the
death they felt was inevitable"
And then, with a rush and an
exulting shout, fellow Americans
swept the enemy from their
strongly entrenched positions
overlooking the detachment OF
Whittlesey's men. Of the 700 men
originally in the battalion, not
more than one-third was alive anC
unwounded, and even these few
were so weak from living or
"leaves and chewing tobacco thai
many collapsed.
Col. Whittlesey is six feet three
and built in proportion. He is
about thirty-fve years old and {
graduate of Williams College. HI
was a member of the law firm o.
Whittlesey G. Pruyn, New York
when the first training camp
opened at Plattsburg. There h
won his commission as captain
and went to Camp Upton with tn,
209th Infantry, composed of New
York and western boys. He sool
gained further promotion.

Can You Read
Army Insignia?

Soon those in the service will be
returning and for a few years at
least uniformed men will be very
much in evidence. Are you famil
lar with the insignia Of the various
branches of the service? If not
commit these to memory:
The insignia of the medical
corps is called the caduceus, and
the writhing snakes, staff and twin
wings denote the emblem of Mere
ury, the god of healing. An army
surgeon wears the caduceus in
gold or gilt; veterinary doctor
has a bronze caduceus with the
letter V imposed over the design.
The dental staff has the bronze
caduceus with the letter D. The
letter stands for sanitary corps.
The next time you see the wings
and snakes on a uniform, remem-
Der the emblem is called the cad
uceus, and pick out what arm of
the service your officer is in by the
letter on his emblem.
| A sword and key, crossed on a
wheel, with an eagle surmounting
the wheel, indicate Quartermas-
ter's Corps. A shell and fame in
gold mean Ordnance Department.
The Signal Corps has two crossed
flags with a torch in the center.
The Aviation Corps has a particul-
arly graceful emblem-two hori-
zontal bronze wings sprouting
from either side of a silver propel-
Ter. For the insignia Of the Am
bulance Service look again for the
caduceus bearing the letter A. In
fantry is indicated by two crossed
. guns; Cavalry by two crossed sab
res, the Engineering corps by a
castle, and the Field Artillery by
two crossed cannon.
Insignia of rank is shown by
certain emblems of the shoulder
straps in the case of officers. A
General has four silver stars; a
Lieutenant General, three stars; a
Major General, two. stars; and a
Brigadier General, one star. A
r Colonel has a silver eagle, and a
Lieutenant Colonel, silver leaf
A Major has gold leaf. The Cap,
tain has two silver bars. First
f Lieutenant has one silver bar anc
a Second Lieutenant, gold bar
You can know the non-commission'
ed officers by the stripes on the
! sleeves, a Sergeant having three
V shaped stripes, inverted; Cor
: poral, two.
:, Every branch of the service ha!
!, it's particular color and if vol
s would be "in the know" of thing!
!, military, you must mcmorize thes,
! as we'll as the insignia. The colo,
of the infantry is light blue; o.
the cavalry yellow; of the artil
: lery, scarlet. Dark blue is the colo
y of the Adjutant's Department. TIL.
engineers have scarlet intertwinet
d with white, the Signal Corps
r orange with white; the Medica
Department maroon with white
IS the Ordnance Department scarle
y with black; the Aviation Corps
green with black.

Photographed by the Cinematog-

most complete record of actual events
on any of the fighting fronts, but is
far and away the most dramatic and
! thrilling presentation of warfare that
1 has ct been transferred to the screen,
Reality here takes an added signifi-
canoe, which makes the usual attempts
to picture the shock and terror OF
modern combat seem cheap and made
quate by comparison.
This vast panorama takes one on a
/ tour of the whole Italian battle line
from the highest snow-capped Alps
adjoining Switzerland to the blue wat
ers of the historic Adriatic Sea.
There is no important branch of
| Italian military or naval accomplish
ment that is rot wildly shown in this
| picture. Here for the first time,
Americans are given the opportunity
] to witness the high lights of a real
/ battle with artillery, infantry and ar
mored aeroplanes in simultaneous ac-
| ton. UnGv- c1NC- O. vigorous bar
rage fire from their own lines, whole
regiment of intrepid Italians are
shown charging out of their trenches
and storming the vigorously defended
peak of an Austrian mountain. Close
ups are given of the men making
ready to go over the top;and from the
protected dugout just behind the lines,
where the camermen who registered
this amazing episc@o vas placed, the
men are shown making their way up
the bullet-raped mountain side in
cleverly unanswered spurts, dropping
down every minute or two to take
shelter in some depression of the
ground while the hot lead sips over
and about them from the Austrian
guns on the summit of the ridge.
Nothing so spectacular has ever before
been secured for public exhibition, and
as the tremendous import of these
scenes sinks home, &C can fully APP
preciate the statement of the Italian
government officials who shipped these
films from Italy that seven of the sol
der camermen who ground the crank
on these events lost their lives in the
pursuit of their dutiea, while others
were decorated for conspicuous brav-
cry. This is the picture everybody
has been waiting for for long time,
and now that it is here you should not
miss it, and moreover be on hand, as
it is expected that tremendous crowds
will be on hand wanting to see how
battles are actually fought and won.
