 LOST BATTALION

Allendale, Ill - GU. P.) - A re- cent United Press story from Var ennes, France, stating that a search ing party in the Appermont woods of the Argonne forest had uncover ed the whole setting of one of the most dramatic incidents of the World War-the spot where the Lost Battaiian" was lost-brought memories of stirring war days back to former soldier of Wabash County.
 The former soldier is Paul Hol- sen, a veteran of the Lost Bat talion."
 He was one of the 600 who. en- circled the Germans and fighting against thirst and hunger. was lost for days in the advance of the American line in the Argonne. During a three-day period that the battalion was lost. Holsen was wounded.
 He was one of the'194 who came out of the advance position alive.
 The Varennes United Press story said that the searchers brushed away the leaves and cut away the young trees that choked the for est and found evidences of the great struggle.
 It said sides of the hill are honeycombed with fox holes" cut into the shale and just large enough for a man to hide. and that all around were accouter- ments of war. left by the bat talian.
 When Holsen read the story. he expressed surprise that the scene of the battalion's activities had lain hidden and unknown for IA years.
 "1've never been back" Holsen said. "But I had supposed that the place where we were trapped had been marked.
 'The spot written about was. in fact, the place where the culmina- ton of our lost period came. We were out there without connection with the remainder of the army and moved from place to place"
 Holsen has been located In Hon. duras. Central America, for several years. but makes periodic trips back home.

At the current writing 1t is un- -derstood that Wolcott school stu- dents will attend Waterbury High schools instead of Lewis High in southington for the costs of trans portation is too great.
 Southington school authorities recently stated that they did not expect that the ofiicials of Wolcott would send 10 students to Lewis high in September. According to the terms of Addin Lewis, founder of Lewis High, the town of Vol colt may send 10 students to Lewis High without any cost of tuition. Shortly before the close of schools in June, Wolcott selectmen asked that they send 70 students to Lewis High, 30 of whom would pay their own tuition.
 The proposition was rejected by Southington officials. because of the lack of accommodations. Later 1t was understood that Wolcott school authorities would take ad- vantage of the terms of Addin Lewis and have 10 of the high school pupils of that town attend Lewis High.

 Washington, Aug 2s-(UP)- President Hoover's new White House secretary is working for nothing, 1t was disclosed to-day.
 E. T. Clark. one of the Coolidge secretaries and now Washington "contact man" for the largest drug concern in the country. was loaned to the White House at the request of Mir Hoover.
 Some mystery was stirred up over the matter by the politically minded but the facts were simply that Secretary Theodore Joslin was worn out and had to take Il vacation, White House business was driving the whole staff at q hard pace, and MT Hoover needed additional help.
 Clark made a reputation under Coolidge as one of the most popu- lar and efficient of all White House secretaries. He operated much as did Joseph P. Tumulty under woodrow Wilson. The two are this generation's outstanding successes at that difficult job just outside the presidents door.
 Wiry, witty. wise, Clark has the necessary combination, plus n reputation and character which rate gilt-edged in WaShington:: :.
 When Coolidge retired, Clark was picked up quickly by Louis K. Liggett, the Boston drug man who realized his value as a Wash ington contact manor lobbyist.
 Clark was made vice president of Drug. Inc. the general holding company of the Liggett interests, with assets of nearly $6o,0s0.ooo and highly important business here.
 Clark is drawing liberal salary and some time ago refused an of- fer of a permanent White House lob for financial reasons. rms time Mir Hoover appealed to him to serve temporarily, so Drug. Inc is lending him to the White House and paying his salary. Clark re- gards this as a contribution to the cause-Liggett being until recent ly republican national committee man for Massachusetts.
