HERO'S KIN
Colonel of Famous Lost
Battalion Appears at
Ellis Island
(By International News Service)


NEW YORK.-Everybody will re-
call how Charles w. Whittlesey,
then lieutenant colonel with the A.
e. F., leaped into fame when cor
nered with a handful Of his gallent
soldiers by the Germans, he told the
boches in plain, raw American slang
to go to h"
So, when it became known to the
immigration officials at Ellis Island
that the intrepid colonel had ap-
peared at the immigration station to
intercede for stowaway from Ger
many, they thought they had good
joke on the man who had defied the
Germans when his surrender had
been demanded But, with his now
famous versatility, Colonel Whittle-
sey turned the joke.
II didn't know when l came here
that this boy had come direct from
Germany" said the Colonel to the
immigration officials. "He is not a
German, but Pole who recently fed
the oppression of factions in Poland
and went to Germany. From there
he slowed away for America. But
wherever he came from and whatever
kind of man he may be know he
is a relative of one of my soldiers
who went forward in my advance
guard on that occasion when to go
forward meant defiance of death. /
have come to Ellis Island with Saul
Marshall, of New York City, who is
one of the few men left of my ad-
vance guard. Marshall saw fifty
three Of his comrades shot down that
day. We got in that tight place, and
he, with the rest, was taken prisoner
by the Germans. 1t is for a relative
of man like this that l came to
speak a good word and while l don't
know the character of Herman
Ehrinberg, the stowaway, know
that if he is kin to Marshall he is
the kind we can welcome in this
country"
Marshall saluted his superior Of
ficer in acknowledgment of the
colonel's praise and proceeded to tell
the immigration officials all he knew
about his cousin, Herman Ehrinberg.
I haven't seen him since he was a
kid in Poland" said Marshall, but
he's got the same blood in him that
I've got in me, and he's had pretty
much the same raising. He only went
to Germany recently. Colonel Whit
tlesey knows that it don't run in my
family to show much of liking for
the Germans. This boy slowed away
to American because he wanted to

agement of The Times-Register sew
eral purposes will be served, the prin-
cipal of which the community will be
given better newspaper service at
less cost of production.
The high cost of production not
only in the publication of newspapers
followed by the tightening Of fnan-
cial conditions is to result in many
business readjustments which will
all have for their object conservation
of resources and the lowering Of the
cost of production and the rendering
of better service.
If two institutions with practically
the same capital invested and with
practically the same operating ex-
pense can operate successfully in a
community where the service rend-
cred is duplicated, the natural con-
sequence would be that did they op-
crate jointly the returns on the in
vestment would be greater and as
the newspaper business while serv-
ing the community as it's first object
does have some other purpose and
that is while serving the community
well it serve we'll also those who
create it and make it possible. So
in the dictates of good sound eco
nomic business judgment and for the
purpose of creating bigger and
better newspaper the two, The Times
and The Register, have been CONSOLE
dated.
There is to be no boast Of future
plans; those will work themselves
out as conditions develop. The
Times-Register will be operated on
q sound, constructive, conservative
policy, seeking to give to the COM
munity the best possible service and
that will largely be accomplished by
the fact that the business is well
equipped, will be well managed and
the combined circulation Of the two
papers will total practically 5000,
giving to the advertisers the greatest
possible service with no duplication
of expense on their part in order to
reach the same people and cover the
same territory.
