Lost In Forest, Surrounded by
Foes, Hungry and Cold, Yankee
Battalion Holds Out FiUe DuHs


With the American Forces North
west OF Verdun, Oct. s (by the AS
sociated Press. with their ammu-
milton nearly exhausted, and weak
ened from lack of food during pc
riod of five days in which they had
been cut off from their comrades
support in the thickets of the Ar
gonne, battalion of American
troops has finally been rescued by
relief expedition, according to re-
ports received this morning.
The lost battalion, whose where
abouts was q mystery for some time,
comprised several hundred men, un-
der the command of Major Charles
Whittlesey Completely surrounded
by the Germans, they made their
stand with their pistols and rifles
and a few machine guns as defensive
weapons. When relief reached them
their stock of cartridges was almost
gone and the men were in a weaken
ed condition from lack of sustenance
and the effects of the dampness OF
these fall days, from which the
trapped infantrymen had no blankets
to protect them.
Some Had to BE Carried.
The relief expedition encountered
great difficulty in aiding the rescued
men, some of whom were so weak
they had to be carried Medical sup
plies and food are being rushed to
their aid.
Several efforts were made yester-
day to obtain reports from the lost
battalion by messenger and carrier
pigeons A basket containing a num-
ber of pigeons was lowered by q par
achute in the vicinity of where the
Americans were thought to be. The
aviator entrusted with this task de-
clared that the basket seemed to
fall exactly where he intended it
should. No bird had returned up to
late hour yesterday.
"The lost battalion," pushed ahead
with the other troops when the first
American attack to the west of Yer
dun began. They were surrounded
in all probability because they were
not used to forest warfare. Advanc-
ing in two widely separated columns
the enemy was able to infiltrate be-
hind them without being seen.
Airplanes In Search.
MANY times in the course of the day
air planes flew over the section Of
the forest where the Americans were
believed to be and messages were
dropped for them. As it was thought
their supplies on hand probably had
become exhausted cunningly devised
parachutes, used to bring up ammu-
milton, were then released above the
forest which concealed the where's
abouts of the troops from the eyes of
their anxious searchers.

PRESIDENT WILSON'S REPLY A MASTERPIECE

President Wilson's reply to Germany's request for an
armsce and subsequent peace conference is master
piece OF diplomacy He does not reject the German re-
quest but asks for definitions of Germanys words for in
formation as to whom the allies would have to trust Also
he makes quite plain that there be no armsce so
long as German soldier is conquered soil.
The plain meaning of the presidents reply that the
form OF the German must be changed that
the allies will not have to deal with the kaiser and the
ruling war caste No demand will be made that Germany
change her form of from an autocracv to
representing the rule of the people, but he will not treat
with the lords It they remain in power the decision
will have to be in the field
Before there is any armistce, Germany and Austria
must first put in clear language the Interpretation thew
would put on the presidents conditions for ending the
war Woodrow Wilson does not propose to stop fighting
only to engage in debate with Berlin.
The American people will endorse the prompt and wise
reply Of the president to the German chancellor as mouth

Because, he says, it would be a

at primary markets in North Da-
kota this year, as recently suggest
cd by the state council Of defense.
Thomas. Allan Box. secretary Of the
council, declares the proposal has
been heartily supported, In many
instances by elevator men.
Mr.. Box, a visitor. at the state
fair in Fargo this week, says the
council Of defense never finally act
ed upon the proposal to seize the
elevators, despite the fact that the
Nonpartisan leagues own official
newspapers in the state carried a
story to the effect that the order
Of seizure, similar in purport to that
issued with Respect to cream buyers,
had in fact been issued.
at is too big a problem" said Mr..
Box to The Forum. ut would be q,
physical impossibility to take the
elevators over at this time under the
plan outlined.
Members Of the council, however.
have been beseiged by men from ali
sections Of the state, urging the
step as a war measure, and the mat
ter unquestionably will be given
thorough consideration with a. view
to working 1t out next year."

new TEACHERS
WILL GET CALL
THIS YEAR BY.
new REGULATION
Ruling On Certificates
Eliminates Some
Wages Higher

Superintendent Of Schools J. W.
Riley, OF Cass county, stated today
that there would be many beginning
teachers in the rural schools of the
county this fall. According to the
new ruling Of the state board of edu-
cation, presided over by N. c.. Mac
donald, which makes the high school
diploma that includes a pedagogy
course a certificate to teach, and due
to the fact that older and expert
enced teachers were unable to get
a renewal OF their certificates, the
high school graduates without ex-
perience will, in many cases, take the
places vacated by the older teach
ers.
Heretofore the certificates of ex-
perienced elementary teachers have
been renewed upon attendance at
summer school and membership in
the reading circle, but according to
the new ruling Of the state depart
ment, now in effect, it will be neces-
sary for the experienced teacher to
secure a new certificate when the old
one runs out by taking examinations
in psychology and pedagogy. while
the diploma Of the inexperienced
high school graduate serves as a
certificate to teach.
Enter New Lines.
Failing to secure a renewal Of their
certificates. many Of the older teach
ers have gone into other lines of
work, especially governmental and
war work, rather than take the ex-
aminations that would entitle them
RI "A naw certific9fa
The high cost Of living has had its
effect in increasing the salaries Of
teachers. Mr.. Riley stated that SO
far as he knew, no teacher in Cass
county has accepted a position for
less than $65 per month, while $50
per month is the maximum salary in
the one-room rural schools. AL
though the state department favors
late opening of schools, Mr.. Riley
stated that the late opening had
proved so all around unsatisfactory
last year that he expects an early
opening this year.

and to my regret leaves tonight for
Red Cross work in Italy.
Paul Jewill Of Bismarck was bad
| ly gassed on the front a short time
ago, but is getting on nicely as he
advised in a letter today and hopes
to be back with his regiment again
before long.
A couple Of weeks ago I met Lynn
u. Stambaugh OF Fargo and Hazen,
| and also Walden Shinn Of Bantry,
Lester W.! Smith of Grand Forks, o.
e. Reishus Of Minot and S. F. Bill,
who attended the North Dakota state
| University a. few years ago. All of
the boys were looking fine and each
| wore a white bar on the left sleeve
Of his blouse to show that he
had been recommended for rank as
a commissioned, officer.
Another young soldier with them
was Spalding Howe son OF P. L
Howe Of Minneapolis.
~ ~ Calls on TesteVin.
Had a letter few days ago from
Earl Tostevin of Mandan, who is
with the 164th u. S. infantry, the
old First North Dakota He was in
| a certain hospital, sick. 1t happen
ed that the very day his letter came
was sent to the town where the
hospital is located on. special Red
Cross mission. So I did not an
swer Earls letter, but on arrival
in>the town was met by the Red
Cross representative. He located
Earl for me and we had a fine visit.
He had to have a mastoid operation,
is getting on nicely but may be left
deaf in one ear and If this shall
prove. to be the case it will prevent
his active. service at the front again.
In the very next bed to him was
John w, Green of Dawson, suffer
ing from a gun shot wound, but is
doing well and not complaint
from him.
Former Chauffeur Makes Good.
Yesterday captain of the Salvation
army called in me. right from the
front, and to bring me word and
greetings from George Finnegan.
George used to live at Mandan,
and was with me at Bismarck and
drove my car for nearly three years.
Sergeant George now, has charge
of the motive power for one Of the
American ammunition trains and the
captain told me that George was
the right man in the right place,
and that he kept the ammunition
going forward for our boys, and
there never was a hitch anywhere,
and I am proud of George.
Americans With Them.
They tell here a pretty good story.
I do not know whether it is true
or not, but it is a good story any
way.
The other day some German pris-
oners were brought in and one Of
the French soldiers who spoke Ger
man asked one of the young Ger
man soldier prisoners whether he
believed that Germany would win.
He stopped and thought for a mo-
ment, and then replied, well we
Germans ought to win because we've
got God on our side, but now the
allies have got the Americans
OF course we Americans think
that the allies have both God and
the Americans ION their side. -
AS the soldiers from America are
arriving the activities of the Red
Cross are increasing and will in
crease as the days go by. .-.

Wheat On Slope
Not Total Loss

Wheat on the slope, and north
and south Of Bismarck will not be a
total loss as first expected, accord
ing to D. E. Bigelow, manager Of
the Fargo store OF the Bentson
Drug company, who has returned
from a business trip to Bismarck.
Farmers who had expected that
their wheat crop would be total
loss. are now discovering that, in
spite Of the protracted dry wealth
er, it will run eight or nine bushels
an acre." said Mr.. Bigelow. 1.-THE
cool weather Of the past two weeks
has been working wonders, and put
ting bushels in their granaries."
If nothing happens to the flax
crop, the yield will be large, Mr..
Bigelow added.
