For that reason It mny seein curious that a monument to the heroism of New Yorkers should be erected In Cnllfornln, clear across tbe continent from New York, Ilut tbe reinon for tbe Cnmp Kearney memorial Is this: before taking over e Its sector for the o7entdve, the Setenty-seventwas strengthened with replacements from the Fortieth division, composed of men from all parts of the West who had trnlned n nt Camp Kearney. And In the famous Lost episode, cow ho, s from tbe West fought alongside of men of every occupation, nationality, class, and creed from tbe Last side or Melting Pot" of New Yoik. In regard to the fiction which has crept into the story of the Lost P.uttullon," It should be noted first that tbe name Itself Is a misnomer. For tbe Lost Battalion" never was lost." I.ed by MnJ. Charles W. Whittlesey and Capt. George W. MeXIurtry, the battalion of something less than 700 men took part In an attack by the on the morning of October 2.

They were acting under orders of On Robert Alexwho ander, eommnnder of the Seventy-seventlater assumed full responsibility for what took place. "M.v orders were positive and precise," said General Alexander. Tlie objective wns to be gained without regard to losses and without regard to the exposed condition of the flanks." Of the four battalions, from the Three hundred s'xth. Three hundred seventh. Three hundred eighth, and Three hundred ninth Infantry, which were sent Into the attack. Whittlesey's from the Three hundred eighth, wns the only on to reach Its objective. As a result the enemy penetrated to the rear of their position and the battalion was cut off. So although they were cut off, they were not lost," for they knew all the time where they were; the Seventy seventh division knew where they were and made repeated attempts dur'ifg the five days they were beleaguered to rescue them. What took place during those five days Is told In entertaining fashion In a book recently published by the Bobhs-XIerricompany. It Is Without Censor," written by Thomas M. Johnson, correspondent for the New York Sun with the A. E. Fn a book which explodes many popular myths about the World war find sheds much dpw light on many disputed questions. In the chapter, Finding the Lost Mr. Johnson tells the true story of that famous Incident in our history as follows: I'T at Camp Hegu, Calif., n Mettae-Argonn- Bnt-tnllo- ll Bst-talio- n, The morning of October third General Alexander ordered the attack resumed, and directed General Jnhrann to give special attention to Joining up with Whittlesey . Whittlesey and his men had heard the firing to the rear aa the rest of the One bundled h brigade tried to reach them But the firing receded, died down and they knew that the Germans had the attack, were free lor a time to destroy repulsed the Amenkanernest, ns they called It . . They tried for fixe days end nights, bv Infantry attack, by tiench mortar bombs, hand grenades, machine guns sweeping the valley, by sniping rifle fire from front, flank and mar. frally by flame throwers. The Americans clung to their email along the slope The trees saved them Safe holes couid be dug under the r rtots. Trunks end branches deflected bullets.

What answer d d he send 'em?" they asked tt lint answer would he send em" General Alexander r piled. "He told 'em to go to h I." Next day those few correspondents who saw the Whittlesey, asked him: Tid veu really tell 'em to go to h I?" Well." he aaid slowly, McMurtry and Holder-ma- n were squatting near by. I read the note. We n smiled. I Just folded up the note It was nml put it In my pocket and said to the soldier, Go bai k to- your post. Whittlesey said In No reply seemed necessary. his written reportRut the next thing he did after putting the note In hia pocket was to order taken In the white cloth panels with which he had attempted to algnal American airplanes trying to drop food. He was afraid they might look like withe Flags." a?r GTCR&arrcrtuxi&Y fact, even at the end of Oi tober third, the Lo- -t Battalion tvaa dwindling fast. Its effective strength Water could not be only two hundred forty-fivgot from the muddy stream In the valley, watched Home who by snltrs, slashed by machine-gunvolunteered to fill canteens did not return. The men bnd started without blankets, and It was cold and rainy. There was no surgeon, only two medical corps men, binding wounds with bandages or wrap puttees taken from the dead. Even their friends seemrd to hnve turnrd against the Lost initiation. The second duy, October fourth, while the Germans were giving them a brief rest, an Allied artillery barrage came down upon them. commenced on the southern Slowly the shell-hursslope of the valley; more rapidly, more quickly, thev crept down the slope, crossed the valley, and settled straight on the line of held by tbe cowering, bewildered Americans. Crashing shells threw about branches, leaves, stones and earth, smashed In fox holes, burying some men. All wounded who could walk were moved to places of comparative safety, but thirty Americans were killed or wounded by that barrage. Bo easy to pass the buck to the French, but the weight of evidence seems to be that It was American. Whittlesey and McMurtry thought so. From Its flaming smoking midst Whittlesey sent kla last carrier pigeon with this message: We are along the road, parallel 27 4. Our own artillery Is dropping a barrage directly on us. For heaven's sake stop It." . . . To Whittlesey and McMurtry, It seemed that the t. shells Just missed passed on. Right at the end of It came a German attack, but that was beaten off. and the sound of the firing told the that the Lost Batrest of the Seventy-seventtalion was still there. It had made every effort to let the division know that. Whenever Whittlesey asked volunteers to take bark messages, he found them. The Germans captured all but three of the messengers --captured some of them lying face downward amid the brown forest leaves. So starving, chilled, drenched, sleepless, threatened with Instnnt death from foe or friend, the men hung on throJsh great heroism. Among them, calm and smiling, moved the scholarly, spectacled Whittlesey or the optimistic McMurtry, laughing and joking In a whisper with part of a German potato-mashgrenade sticking from a wound .n his bnek. One by one their nine precious machine guns were knocked out, their ammunition ran low. The Germans could not see whv they did not surrender. Kamerad, will you?" they shouted across, to which the doughboys replied- "Kamerad yourcame In !" Some German-Americaself, you very handy there. . . . A party of soldiers from Captain Cullen's company on the left flank slipped off to "look for kitchens, for food dropped from airplanes, trying vainly to succor the Lost Battalion, and all were killed, wounded or captured. Only one, named Holllngehead, returned bearing tbia letter, exactlv transcribed: Officers of the Ind Batl, To . J. R. JP8: Sir. The bearer of the present, Lowell R.

Then, when enough had got through, they might start to work their way along the valley from the east, toward Whittleseys position. the morning of October seventh, two men from Whittlesej's force had got In touch with these men creeping forward, and were brought to Colonel Houghton's hole In the ground. Some of his wounded were found bandaged by German surgeons who hnd said, Soon it Is we who will be surrounded " Houghton s men pushed on At seven o'clock that evening their first small partv reached the right of the line of that the Lost Battalion had held with such fortitude for five days and nights Companies A, B and M of the Ihiee hundred seventh soon appeared.
