''Lost Unit" Lived ON
Leaves, but Fought On

WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES
NORTHWEST OF VERDUN, Oct 8
(by The Associated Press ).-Haggard
from lack Of sleep and nearly fam
ishcd, the men of the "lost" battalion
rescued Monday morning after having
been surrounded for more than four
days in the Argonne forest, are now
recovering from their narrowing eX-
perience.
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. Yet they cheered
as they drove back the German forces
which were all around them.
When they reached the American
lines they were white and exhausted,
but were infinitely proud of their gal
liant stand. All were more willing to
of their comrades and officers than TO
tell of their own experiences. Major
Whittlesey was in command of the
battalion.
A group Of privates waiting to be
taken from field hospital which had
been temporarily established in a
little ruined church close behind the
present line would not talk of them
selves, but told of second lieutenant
who came out with eighteen machine
gun bullet holes in his clothes, but
without a scratch. He had one bruise
from bullet which had killed man
behind him.
1t was just after midnight when the
news first reached the weary, but de-
termined, men that help was coming.
The rescuers rushed on through the
German lines, breaking one enemy de-
fence after another, and at last COM
pleted the rescue

BRITISH

LONDON (NIGHT).~-W inflicted
ii heavy defeat on the enemy yester-
day between st. Quentin and Cam
brai, taking over 10000 prisoners
and between 100 and 200 guns.
No less than twenty-three German
divisions were engaged on this front.
They were severely handled.
The result of this action is that
the troops have been enabled to ad-
vance to-day on the whole front be-
tween the Somme and the Sensce,
and are making rapid progress east
ward, capturing rear guard detach
ments of the enemy, isolated bat
teries and machine gun posts. Num-
bers of the inhabitants who were
left in the captured villages have
met the advancing troops with en-
thusiasm.
The whole Of Cambria is in our
possession. The Canadians entered
the town from the north at an carly
hour this morning, while at later
hour English troops of the Third
Army passed through the southern
portions of the town.
Since August 81 the British First.
Third and Fourth armies have bro
ken through the whole elaborate
series of deep defensive zones built
up with successive belts of heavily
fortified trench lines, including the
entire Hindenburg system on front
of over thirty-fve miles from st.
Quentin to Arras. Having penctrat-
ed this battle area to depth OF De-
tween thirty and forty miles, our
troops are now operating far beyond
and east of the Hindenburg defences.
In the process of these operations
and since the date mentioned we
have inflicted very heavy losses on
the enemy in killed and wounded
and have taken over 10000 prison
ers and 1900 guns.
This fent of arms has been per-
formed by British troops who had
already withstood the first heaviest
onslaughts Of the enemy's main
forces in the spring. Only the en-
durance and determined spirit of
these troops permitted them to pass
to the offensive with such conspicu-
Gus success. By their heroic action
in defence and attack the men from
all parts of the British Empire have
proved themselves soldiers Of the
highest order.
The advance continues this after
noon. We have reached the general
line OF Bohain, Busigny, Caudry and
Caurior.

On the remainder of the front the
enemy's attacks were frustrated
completely.~ Local breaches were
stopped by counter thrusts. Partial
attacks along the Aisne and violent
attacks delivered by the Americans
on the eastern border of Argonne
Wood and Valley were repulsed.
On the eastern bank of the Meuse
the enemy attacked between Brabant
and the Ornes River after strong ar
tlllery preparation. The enemy.
after forcing his way into the Con-
senvoyc Woods, was brought to
standstill there. On the remainder

IL Is more than probable that the
profanity engendered by the war and
the effort to damn the kaiser and send
the whole brood of Hapsburgs and
Hohenzollerns TO hell may stick to
those who will rather like that sort
of imprecation. One Louisville
preacher said out loudly, God damn
