and Rescued, is Report

New York, Dec. l3.-That part Of
the famous 'lost battalion" which
was surrounded for four days in the
Argonne forest, was lost a second

dered for six days withoutsfood or
water, was disclosed in a letter re-
ceived here today by Mrs. Eiler V.

Germans and . the remnants of the
battalion had subsequently been re-
lieved by advancing troops, Corporal
Bolvig, the writer and eight other
men became detached and attempted
to reach the American lines by
themselves.
The party wandered through the
forest FIVE days, the letter said, and
then ran into squad of British
soldiers who also were lost. On the
sixth day they were attacked by the
Germans and one of the TOM
mics" was wounded.
He ran out into the open to res
cue the wounded man. Unable to
move him, he lay down at his side to
administer first aid. Both were
killed by a German sniper.

were driven off by bombs from an
ai.plaue and the, surviving members

PHILIPPINES GOOD
MARKET FOR MOTORS
City of Manila Had I,4s1 Passenger
Cars and PAS Trucks at
Close of 1919.

The Philippine islands are proving
an excellent market for motor yeht-
Giles, says A. +. Boomer, Of Manila. in
recent issue of Commerce Reports
At the close of 1916 there were IN
operation in the Philippines S,0ls
passenger cars, 392 motor trucks and
$40 motorcycles. In addition, there
were 1880 machines undergoing re-
pairs or not in operation. The city
of Manila had 1.4Sl passenger cars
and 24S trucks in operation. Inc trend
has been toward small and low
priced machines.
The rapid growth OF automobile use
is due primarily to the excellent roads
In nearly every section OF the country
and the prosperous condition Of the
islands.
The figures available for the hrst
six months of 1917 show a slight de-
crease in the value OF the automo-
bfles, parts and tires imported for
that period, compared with the hrst
six months OF 1915. The indications
are, however, that the current year
will show no falling on in the i'm
ports Of automobiles over 1915, pro-
vidsd shipping conditions do not in
terfere.

vantage in brute strength and size,
When Jack Johnson beat Tommy
Burns, a smaller man, for the heavy
weight title, 1t was clearly because nc
had greatly improved in the science
of boxing and beat Burns through his
cleverness alone. When Tommy
Burns, who was in truth nothing
more than a rather overgrown mid
dleweight, found himself facing a
man he could surpass in speed, he
had little trouble in winning what
over his opponents size.
Bob Fitzsimmons, when at his best
and holding both the middleweight
and heavyweight titles, found little
to worry him in the size of his larger
opponents. Fitz firmly believed that
great bulk was a handicap rather
than anything else and with the ex-
ception of his battles with Jeffries his
whole record Will show that he was
right.
Jim Corbett's performances are
more arguments in favor of the idea
that speed and skill will beat bulk
every time. Though Jeffries won at
the end Of twenty-four rounds, the
fight showed well enough that his
bulk and size put him at the greatest
disadvantage and only his wonderful
tOughuess let him last long enough
to get over the one punch he hoped to
land. Had Corbett had a small part
Of the toughness of his opponent the
bigger man would never have won
with the one blow he landed.
Eddie McGoorty, the middleweight.
who returned recently from a three
years stay in Australia to his home
in Oshkosh, declares that he plans to
fight once more in the American ring.
McGoorty is not in the best of shape.
but when he RECEIVERS his strength he
plans to tear into the. heavyweight
division. II may not BE- good enough
to get far with the men of my own
weight" says Eddie. "but / believe /
will be able to beat most Of the
heavyweights." And Eddie has
summed the situation up quite wisely.

Markets
UPWARD TURN TO
THE CORN MARKET.
Signs That Demand Is
More Than Keeping Pace
With The Supply

Chicago. Feb. 1B.-SIgns that de-
mand was more than keeping pace
with receipts gave a fresh upward
turn today TO the corn market. Sell
ers were scarce. Opening prices,
which ranged from the same as yes
terdays figures to lac higher, with
March $t27A and May Sl.2s Il q 20
to $1.26, were followed by slight
gains all around.
Influenced by purchasing for big
commission houses, oats touched the
highest prices yet this season. PROFIT
taking, however. caused sharp re-
action. After opening Mc to hc up,
the market dropped to below yester-
days close.
Higher quotations on hogs lifted
provisions. Offerings were light.
Later, the market eased off owing
to a new order prohibiting the re-
loading Of grain cars for eastern
shipments. Instead, western-owned
cars emptied here must be returned
to western lines. The close was steady
at the same as yesterdays finish 10
&c higher, with March $l2Tla and
May S1.26.

O'DOWD Will
MEET GREB IN
TITLE BATTLE
st. Paul Will Be Scene of
Real Mix Feb. rs Fine
Card Offered

ST. Paul is to be the scene Of a
championship boxing match Feb. %,
when Mike O'Dowd meets the doughty
Harry Greb, OF Pittsburgh, at the
Greb is middIeweight. who has
been climbing rapidly in the past
year. and in Smoke town he is touted
as having real chance to lift the
title. to which O'Dowd beat his rival
by getting a match with AL Mccoy
after Al had lodged meeting with
Greb.
Ahearn was knocked out by Greb
in 3S seconds, which is less time than
1t took Mike Gibbons to turn the
same trick.
Greb has been boxing since 1918.
and in that time he has engaged I'm
lis fights, losing only five, Mike and
Tommy Gibbons outpointed him Joe
Chip knocked him out at the start of
his career, and he broke his arm in
bout with Kid Graves. Billy Miske
the Pittsburgh boy, but all his other
scraps are listed in the win column.
Greb Fighter, Not Boxer.
Greb's forte is fighting, not boxing.
He tears in all the time, never giving
his opponent an opportunity to rest.
He is as rugged as they come, ana
can take as well as give a terrific
wallop.
This happens also to be o'Dowd's
get together there will be no wasted
time fiddling or stalling. -
That Greb thinks well of his chanc-
es is shown by the fact that for the
first time in more than a year he has
agreed to make 1853 pounds at p. m.
of the day Of the fight, in order to be
able to claim the title in case he is
lucky enough to land the K. o. wallop
on Mikes chin.
O'Dowd offered to let him come in
at $50 pounds but Harry, with his
eve on the championship, offered to
make the weight that will make the
contest a regular middleweight title
affair.
1t will be O'Dowd's last fight before
becoming q fighter for Uncle Sam, for
the middleweight champion is to re-
port at Camp Dodge Feb. Is. Greb
also will join the colors Immediately
after his battle in st. Paul.
An attractive bill will complete the
