from the German commander three days
after the battalion had been cut off and
it attests to American valor:
-Oct. s. 1918.
ITO the Commanding Officer. 30Sth
Infantry. 77th American Division.
''Sir: The bearer of this present has
been taken prisoner by US. He re-
fused to give the German inte1li-
gence officer any answer to ques-
tions. and is quite an honorable
fellow. doing honor to his father
land in the strictest sense of the
word.
HE has been charged against his
will, believing he is doing wrong to
his country, to carry forward this
present letter to the officer in charge
of the Jst Battalion of the
77th Divieion with the purpose to
recommend this commander to sur
render with his forces. as it would
be quite useless to resist any more
in view of the present situation.
"The suffering of your wounded
men can be heard in the German
lines, and we are appealing to your
human sentiments. A white flag
shown by one of your men will tell
us that you agree with these condi
tions.
please treat the bearer as an hon
orable man. He is quite n soldier.

LIEUT.. KEOCH Of LOST
BATTALION HEARD HERE
Thrilling Tale of Struggle Which
Marked Siege Given-Denies Al
legged Reply to Huns.

Lieut.. Arthur r Keogh of 'the lost
battalion" speaking last night at -the
United Service Club. declared that the
famous "Co-to-hell" reply attributed to
Col. Charles w. Whittlesy when the
Germans had the Americans trapped in
the Argonne forest and demanded their
surrender was myth. Col Whittlesy
said nothing, according to Lieut.. Keogh,
and the tacit reply implied that the
Huns could go to the heated regions.
To have hurled such an answer at the
Germans would have indicated the des-
perate position of the Americans, lie ex-
planned.
Cut off from ali communications, the
Americans had received no word from
feadquarters for twenty-four hours. and
Lieut.. keogh, with thirty men. was de-
taiied to restore communications by
runners. Lieut.. keogh told q thrilling
tale of his experiences in attempting to
reach headquarters, which he finally did.
He was wounded.

Address to Free Nations.

The address to free nations, read at
the parliament yesterday, was in
part as follows:
The nation of ireland, having her
national independence, calls through
her elected representatives. in parlia-
tion to support the Irish republic by
recognizing Ireland's national status
and her right to vindication at the
peace conference"
It declared that Ireland was radical
" distinct from England in race,
language, customs and traditions.
Ireland, it said. was one of the most
ancient nations of Europe. She had
preserved her national integrity and
vigor intact through seven centuries
OF foreign oppression and never had
relinquished her national rights,
which she had definitely proclaimed
every generation throughout the era
of English usurpation, down to her
last glorious resort to arms in 1916"
After referring to her geographical
position, the address continued:
"Ireland's independence is demanded.
By the freedom of the seas her great
harbors will be opened to all nations,
instead of being monopoly to Eng
land. Today these harbors are empty
and idle, solely because ireland, irrev-
ocabIy determined at the dawn of the
promised era of se1f-determination
and liberty that she will suffer foreign
domination no longer, calls every free
nation to uphold her national claim
to complete independence as an Irish
republic against the arrogant preten-
sions Of England, which were founded
on fraud and sustained by overwhelm-
ing military occupation. She demands
20 be confronted publicly with Eng
land at the congress of nations, that
the civilized world, having judged be-
tween English wrong and Irish right,
may guarantee Ireland it's permanent
support for the maintenance Of ma
tional independence"
