FAYORS U-BOATS
 FOR POLAR DRIVE
Steianson Thinks Dirigible and
 AirpIane Also Good

San Francisco, April 29.--In the way of modern methods of transporta- ton as a means of reaching the North Pole, the submarine comes first in the estimation of ViIhjaImur Stefansson, the Arctic explorer. Next comes the dirtyjble balloon, and finally the air. plane.
 The submarine appears to me to be a perfectly practicable way of reaching the pole as well as a com forta5le way, for One could carry all the necessary cOmfOrt,f said Mr. StefanSSOn on his recent visit here while discussing Arctic exploration with friends "I seldom have seen 8. stretch of ice extending more than 30 miles without coming to open water Under the circumstances there never would be any difficulty in the matter of getting to the surface. Also, the navigator would be assured of calm water when he came up in these ice hemmed bits of water.
 '"rhe submarine already has been used for getting to ice-bound ports by passing under the ice. They may be provided with wheels so as to go along the channel bottom. A large subma- rine will only weigh about 600 pounds on the wheels when submerged in this manner In constructing an under ice submarine, the periScope and much of the above-deck construction would be done away with and in place of it would be @ deck coming to a ridge similar to 9 roof which would cut through the ice when coming to the surface. Ocean ice is mushy and l have seen a whale come up through a thickness of six or seven inches of ice"

WOMEN CAN'T GET MEN.
Over f,500, 900 English Women Will
 Never Marry, Statistics Show.

London, May 2.-There are one and Q half million women in this country who will never have the chance of getting married, is statement by Miss Norah March, editor of National Health. In 1917 there was a surplus of 1,337,00 marriag geable women over marriageable men, and since then there have been the war casualties of 1918.
 Miss March says that emigration will remove a few of these surplus women, while economic independence will prevent women from marrying men for the sake of a home
 Many men and women in this age of modern advancement" says Miss March, are getting different views from those held in the past, and re- gard women's right to motherhood as a supreme individual prerogative. Having such wide choice of wives. the question remains as to whether the men will choose the best and strongest women. as upon the vnmen will depend largely the future human race, since the best of manhood bas been cut off. The choice really rests with the woman, for with her is the right of refusing an offer Of mar riage.''

eide. All the attempts had to be made at night.
 Would Not Signal Airman
 How little intention Whittlesey and his men had of surrendering is indicated, Burrows points out, by their sacrifice of food and amn1u- hilton which they could have had by attracting the attention of the aviators who flew oyer every day trying to locate the battalion so as to drop supplies. The besieged bat talion was provided with squares of red and white oiicloth which, spread on the ground, could be seen by the airmen, but the men refused to use them for fear that the Ger mans would mistake the white of these cloths for a sign of surrender.
 One package of ammunition and food landed near the battalion, Bur rows says. When several dough boys crept down from the hillside into which they had dug them selves and tried to get this package, the German snipers and machine SALASiS "ApcO OuL LAc 4tLLlS STOup. Col. Whittlesey ordered that no more attempts be made to get this food.
 These airmen won the admira- tion of the entire division by their daring attempts to help the trapped men. Burrows says that the aviators, in their eff forts to sec the men, would come down almost to the tops of the trees, flying through hail of bull lets from the German rifles. Two of these aviators were shot down, and the wings of every machine that went over were riddled, yet the fliers returned every day and resumed their search.
 Surrender Demand Arrives
 It was on the fourth day that the surrender demand arrived Toward late afternoon the men on the left of the battalion heard a hail from the woods and German, in Eng fish. shouted that he had a pris- oner with 8 note for the battalion commander. This prisoner was a doughboy who had been one of party of ten that had tried to get back for help. Six were killed and the other four captured after they

;. s. BurroUs, of NeW York, Says WE'RE Americans We Can't Surrender Was Real Reply of Lieut. Col. Whittl<sey To German Demand To Quit

One of the most prlzed tTadl' tions of the war has been shattered the famous "Go to hell" of Lieut. Col. Charles W. Whittlesey, of the Lost Battalion" in reply to the German demand for surrender.
 The message which thrilled the world when the story of the Lost Battalion" was told was never sent, according to Stephen B. Burrows, of New York, a Y.MC.A. man, re- gently returned from France, who with Harry ". Blair, of Carthage, Mo, another ''Y" man, was the first civilian to give aid to the American heroes when they were rescued in the depths of the Argonne For est last October. Burrows asserts that no reply whatever was made to the boche call to the Americans to quit. |.
 During the six days and nights in which the battalion, cut off from all help, was enduring wounds, thirst, hunger and constant attacks by the Germans, Burrows and Blair were within 1000 yards of the be- leaguered troops, helping to care for the wounded and giving out supplies. In support of his state ment that no reply was made to the Germans. Burrows points out that there were no means at hand for sending an answer unless that an swer was an agreement to surren- der.
 Followed Boys Over Top
 Burrows and Blair were af- tached to the 30sth Infantry and followed the. boys over the top when the 77th Division began it's great drive on the Argonne For est last September. During the first five days fight, in which the doughboys hacked their way to the middle of the fourteen-mile wedge of woods, Burrows was at work giving out supplies and car ing for wounded, and he was in the front lines when, on October ?, the order came to Col. Whit tlesey to advance his men 1000 yards.
 The jungie-like density of the forest, the Y.M.C.A. man relates, was largu.y responsible for the suc- cess of the German coup which nearly cost the lives of Whittlesey and 500 men. AS soon as Whittle- sey advanced, the enemy filtered by both his Hanks and within few hours, by means of hidden machine guns and squads of snipers and grenade throwers, had cut off the battalion entirely from the 77th's lines. X
 For two days, Burrows says, tue fate of the battalion was not known. Then some pigeons arrived giving some details of the disaster and describing the battalion's pos ition in the forest. Meanwhile ev- cry effort was being made to cut a way through to the relief of the boys. So strong was the cancentra- tion of machine guns, that daylight fighting was little better than sui

had been knocked out with gren- ades and wounded by machine gun bullets.
 This survivor. blindfoIded and With the German note in his hand, was led to a point near the left flank of the battalion. One of Whittlesey's men crawled through the underbrush, found the prisoner and guided him back to his com rades. The note was taken to Col. Whittlesey. In effect, it Is said that the battalion, which had been without food for four days, was en- tirely surrounded and could not hope to escape; and urged that, in mercy to the wounded and to those still living, further resistance should be abandoned
 According to members of tho battalion whom Burrows talked with immediately after their rescue. Col. Whittlesey remarked, after car efully reading the note:
 We're Americans-we can't sur render"
 Could Not Send Reply . In order to make any reply, the "Y" man explains, either 8 dough boy would have to carry it, becom- ing a prisoner, or it would have to be shouted. dangerous proceeding because it would help indicate the position of the battalion. So the boys simply dug themselves in and hung on.
 In two days, more than 1000 cas- ualties resulted from the attempts to rescue the battalion, Burrows says. The troops had to make all their dashes by night, and the only route by which they could appr oach the advance position was up winding rayine in which the Ger mans had built a narrow guage track. The euemy kept this layino under constant fire, and the casual ties among the relief squads were heavy.
 When the battalion finally was rescued, Burrows and Blair, who had moved up their supplies, had hot drinks and cigarettes for the 400 survivors as they were brought back into the lines and helped give first aid to the wounded and get them back to the dressing station,
 Burrows is loud in praise of the late Maj. James A. Roosevelt and his men of the supply company since without their help it would have been impossible to get Y. M. c. A. supplies up to the boys in the front lines. AS it was, Burrows and Blair were always able to give fair ly prompt service. After the first of October they gave away more than 2S,0O0 francs of supplies to the doughboys of their division, mak. ing no attempt to sell anything.
 Burrows and Blair were with the 77th Division during the Argonne fight and remained with it until the armistice was signed. Bur rows is married, has three chiI- dren and is an electrical engineer Blair, who is still in France, is lawyer
