One day back in 1918 when the
American doughboys were fighting
side by side with the French, the
British, the Italians and the Belgians,
in the colossal struggle to stop the
onrushing Huns, there was flashed
across the waters the story of an
American battalion, which bad been
cut off from other units and was
completely surrounded by masses of
German troops. For days and for
nights they had fought back the
enemy. Their food gone and their
ammunition practically all spent, the
coming of night was the nearest ap-
proach to relief their tired minds and
bodies felt. After days of fighting
and suffering, the battalion, known
throughout, the world as the "Lost
Battalion," was rescued.
Less than three years ago. Major
Charles W. Whittlessey returned
from France was telling how his
command, the third battalion of the
307th Infantry, 77th Division, was
surrounded for five days without
food or water until their relief
came.
"We used to send out our runners
twice a day regularly to see if they
could get through to headquarters,"
he said. "But they were all killed
or wounded, and after several days
of this sort of thing I asked another
boy if lie would take a chance."
"Why sure " he replied. That was
Jack Munson. With two others lie set
out t.) establish communication with
regimental headquarers. They were
soon attacked by Germans and one of
them was killed. Crawling onward,
they were again discovered, and to
save his comrade, Munson deliberat-
ely drew fire, and escaping he suc-
ceeded in reaching the American
lines the next morning and delivered
the message that saved the battalion.
Besides the Medaillo Militaire,
which only four doughboys won,
Murtson received the Croir de Guerie
with palm and the Distinguished ser-j
vice cross.
After his discharge from the ser-j
vice he returned to his old job as a
stevedore on the New ^ork water- j
front. But the deadly germ of the!
great white plague had found its,
mark. Soon bis health began to break
and he found it difficult to find
steady employment. He moved into a j
cheap hoarding house, sold or pawn- j
ed all his possessions, save one suit
of clothes and his citations in French |
and English, which he hung on the
wall of his room. On June 14 he just
had strength enough to drag himself
to the hospital door. A few days ago
he died there a victim of tuberculosis

However Incredible this may sound
to h race of wives whose husbands for-
get their wedding anniversaries and a
public tlint does not associate fash-
ionable cafes with connubial constancy
or New York with sentiment, It may
easily lie confirmed by looking in at
the grill of Ihe Onfe Beaux-Arts.
Both memorials are bronze plaques

The toilette of the Roman beauty
was a vastly important affair. The
nmids who assisted in It were usually
Greek slaves, and the length of time
devoted to it may be judged from the
fact that, like beauties of France so
many centuries later, the Roman
woman often had the poets and the
philosophers of the day to divert her
during its progress, a favor of which
they seem to have been less apprecia- |
tive than their descendants In France, I
