He was tho ..only Arkansan with the Lost Battal- 'Aeu. which was, for the most part, composed of New York men.
 For seven days the battalion, of (which Colonel Whittlesby, then ma Dor, was in command. was lost in the .Argonne forest. The battalion had advanced too far with the result that 'the Germans filtered through the woods and surrounded 1t.
 We knew it was war" said Lieu tenant Saliba simply, when asked how sthe men had endured those seven hays.
 The forest was so dense at thls 7Ooint that 1t was impossible to see cnors than Is feet ahead, With picks md shovels the battalion dug holes An the earth. Twice during the day had at least once during the night fhe Germans attacked the battalion. sThey used machine guns and hand .grenades. Lieutenant Saliba suffered a machine gun bullet wound in the arm.
 The battalion had only one carrier Digeon. A message was sent by this pigeon, giving the location of the bat salion. Again and again members O. ehe battalion were sent back up the alope, trying to break their way over the top of the hill past the Germans 10 their sector of the 77th Division Zach time they were repulsed.
 On the occasion in which Colonel Whittlesey sent his "Go to hell" mes sage only one man returned of the Seigh. who had been sent out. Finally sthe rest of the sector was able tn sbreak Its way over the hill and to uescue the lost battalion. And they fled us,' said Lieutenant Saliea 'They gave us all the bread, molas -ises and corned beef we wanted"
