WORLD War HERO
+. PERISHES At SEA
Colonel WhittIesey of Lost Bat
TALON PIunges to Death
From Steamer.
WAS EN- ROUTE TO HAVANA
Believed His Mind Affected by Hor-
rors Of War-Acted as PalIbearer
to Americas Unknown Hero
Two Weeks Ago.

New York, Nov. 29.-His mind I'M
nerved by the horrors of the World
war, which were brought wildly back
to him when he acted as pallbearer to
Americas unknown hero at Arlington
two weeks ago, Col. Charles w. Whit
pesey, famous commander of the Lost
Battalion" and himself one of the
foremost heroes Of the war, persisted
at sea en- route from New York to
Havana Sunday night on board the
United Fruit company's liner Toloa.
Word of the death of the noted
hero, who when his battalion was sur
rounded by Germers and surrender
had been demanded, sent back ames-
sage to the German lines saying: "Go
to hell, Whittlesey," reached here in
wireless dispatches to the United
Fruit company.
Shock to Friends.
The information came as distinct
shock to Whittlesey's friends and to
his law partners in the firm of White
& Case of IA Wall street, who were
unaware that Colonel Whittlesey had
even contemplated a trip to Havana.
Colonel Whittlesey left notes tell
ing of his intended action, one of them
directed to his father who lives some
where in Massachusetts and who has
fate, and the other to law partner,
Robert Pyne of this city. The notes
were discovered in his cabin on the
TOlOa, soon after his absence from
the ships company had been noticed.
Efforts to reach Mr. Pyne were not
awaiting, but woman who said she
was Mr.. Pyne's sister, spoke over the
telephone from the Pyne residence in
Riverside drive.
Its all a great mystery to u.s. she
said.
Modest Over Exploits.
Colonel Whittlesey's modesty on his
exploits was one of his typical char
acteristics. Hardly ever could he be
brought to say anything of the famous
go to hell message, which rang
around the world as sample of Amer
lean heroism. He was at all times,
uOWeFeT, Ttduy " tel VI Tie bravery
and the fortitude Of the men who
fought under him.
The leader of the Lost Battalion"
was one of the first American officers
to see service in France. He was also
one of the first to leave the army aft
er the signing of the armistice and
the breakup Of the Three Hundred
and Eighth infantry, of which he was
an officer. He went first to his fam
lily home in Pittsfield, Mass. At this
time he announced his intention of re-
: Stunning law practice in New York.
His heart was as great as his back
bone was firm. On one occasion since
the armistice he made special plea
to Washington in order that Polish
stowaway might enter the country.
Just a month ago he was rendered a
craftsmanship in the Red Cross and
accepted~it, Immediately plunging into
the work of the campaign just ended.

LETTER PICKED UP
IN OCEAN COMES
BACK TO WRITER

The world isn't so large af-
ter all and it isn't quite as easy
to lose things as people some
times believe.
Not many days ago the post
man brought a letter to James
G. Goodwillie, SAC North May
field avenue, Chicago, formerly
OF this city. Although it had
apparently been in the water for
some time it was still legible.
This is the story the Chicago
Tribune tells:
Mr.. Goodwillie recognized it
as letter he had written to his
daughter-in-law, Mrs. Arthur
Goodwillie, of Evanston, last
July when she was enroute to
Europe The letter was sent
to the steamship lines office at
Plymouth, Mass, to be delivered
to Mrs. Goodwillie on board
ship. She never received it.
Several weeks ago the letter
with several others was picked
up by Robert l.. jackson, Jr.,
fisherman of Edgarton, Mass,
along the Great Banks about 400
miles from Newfoundland. Evil
IDENTIFY mail sack had been lost
overheard from the steamer"
And so the letter, despite it's
trip of four months in the ocean,
found its way back to the writ
er. Mrs. Arthur Goodwillie is a
sister-in-law of Clarence Good
willie, who up to several years
ago made his home in Wausau.

is SENTENCED TO
TWO YEARS TERN

John Hill, Marshfield, plead guilty
to charge of robbery with intent to
murder. last night in circuit court.
Judge A. H. Reid imposed SEN
tence of two years in the state re-
formatory, telling the defendant that
this light sentence was given in view
OF his good record and desire to give
him another chance. Hill is still suf-
fering from the bullet wound incurred
on the evening of November 5. This
fact was also taken into considera-
ton in fixing sentence.
Hill and William West, both of
Marshfield, made an attempt to hold
up the store and saloon of Frank J.
Huetter in Manville, on the evening
of Thursday, November 81 Huetter
was armed and fired at the two men
when ordered to turn over the money
from his cash register. Both men
were wounded and taken to the hos
pital at Marshfield where West died a
week later.

Washington, Nov. 29.-The sixty
four Moplah captives reported in dis
patches from India last week to have
suffocated in railroad car in which
they were being transferred to a place
iof detention 'were deliberately MUIR
dered with poison gas" Seilendran

load Of more than hundred" the

locked in the car British troops, ac-
cording to information have received,
threw in gas bombs, and when the
train reached Its destination nearly
two days later sixty-four of the

were in so deplorable a condition that
several died later. Another example
of the 'civilizing methods of the
British in the East; but one that is
sure to lead TO terrible reprisals."

actor or actress who would achieve any

rector do the thinking for the PLAYER,
The modern director tells the actor
what he is supposed to do. The latter
has read tn" script just as stage actor
would read and study his part. Then
the director watches him do the work
and depends on his mentality and abil-
ity to develop his own cOnCcptiOn.
Atterward the director may polish off
the portrayal by words of advice or sug-

able to conceive and interpret n given

Marriage prevented by inequality OF

This situation may be used for drama

another.

CASTING DIRECTOR
DECLARES BRAINS
THE FIRST ESSENTIAL
Rv JOI.IS NJ cnonSTADT

BY LOUIS NJ. GOODSTADT
Casting director at the Lasky Studio.
Hollywood
THE requirements of motion picture
L acting are harder to meet now than
ever before. Film stories are being
written with greater care, many Of
them by the foremost authors of the
world. Greater psychology. less super
iciality in plot and treatment, more
subtlety. higher ideals, greater discrim-
ination on the part of the public, more
thought than mere action-these are
the developments of the photoplay that
have demanded from the actor more
than in the old days.
We are getting few recruits from the
speaking stage nowadays. We must
develop our own people and they must
have the mental equipment to be able
properly to portray the characters of the
modern screen dramas.
The work is no longer almost wholly
physical. as in the days when the West
crn melodrama was the most popular
