New York, May 22JAmericas most cherished phrase Of the World War the Go to Hell" message ascribed to the late Col. Charles W. Whittlesey when his command was surrounded by Germans in the Argonne--wil have to De consigned to the limbo of the legendary.
 Col.--then Major -Whittlesey utter cd no. such phrase, but treated the German commandant 8 letter demand ing his surrender with the silent con- tempt 1t merited," writes his intimate friend and fellow officer Captain l.. Woodlaw Miles, in History Of the Lost Battalion" soon 10 be published. He is confirmed by Capt. George c. McMurty. who was present when the alleged Go to Hell" message was sent
 Letter Received.
 What happened, according to Capt Miles. was, when the demand for the surrender of the command had been delivered by an American soldier, who had been captured by the Germans.
 "He (the soldier) delivered the mes sage to Capt. McMurty. who handed 1t to Major Whittlesey. It was let ter dictated in English, neatly type written on a sheet of good quality of paper and addressed to the Com manding Officer, 2d Battalion, 3osth Infantry" The letter read
 Americans, you are surrounded on all sides. Surrender in the name of humanity. You will be well treated"
 No answer, whatever" reads Capt. Miles history. written or verbal, was made to the German command ants letter. although. as he relates further on.'' at noon Oct 3, Major Whittlesey and Capt McMurtry knew that their forces were cut off from communication with the rear and that the Germans were both in front and behind of the objectives which our troops had been ordered to oc- cupy."
 Capt. McMurtry who was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor, and to whom Col. Whttlesey be- queathed the German letter, demand ing surrender. was reached by tele- phone last night at the Hotel Brighton, Atlantic City.
 Sent No Message.
 'Is 1t true" he was asked, that Col. Whittlesey sent no Go to Hell" message to the Germans"
 He sent them no message what soever," he. said Capt. Miles knows what he is writing about. He was the colonels closest friend"
 The stuff of which Whittleseys men was made is demonstrated by hitherto unpublished incident of the famous siege. A private had been shot in the stomach. Capt. McMur- try stopped to see how he was getting along.
 Tt pains like Hell. Captain he said, "but I'll try to keep as quiet as can."

 Dublin, May g. (By Associated Press) s)-Commenting on the agree ment reached by the leaders of the opposition Irish factions the Irish Times says
 "On the assumption that the new agreement will silence the revolver in the south and west the people can do much to make the treaty real issue at the elections. The Irish la bor party farmers unions, rate pay ers' associations and other bodies will be free to claim recognition of their several interests in conjunction with or even apart from the issue of the treaty.
 If the coming elections are real ly free the voters must use their freedom boldly in their own and their country's interests.
