in a statement. Monday he de
clared the league lo be, the great
est thing In the world and urged
those who cherlfdi this Ideal" to
"fight Tor It vigorously."
Whlttlesley's action led to some
conjecture in polillc-al quarters fta
to whether it might indicate any
trend of the so-called soldier vote.
Whittlesey himself, however, de
clared he spoke only for himself.
"I would not say," he slated,
"that ex-soldiers as a class favor

of units of the 308th Infantry,

Lieutenant Colonel then Major
Whltlesey and 18 men were cut
off from the rest ot the com
mand and for six days and nights
they fought off the Hermans con.
tlnuouslv. When stirred by the
gallant fight the little band was
putting up. the German comman
der sent an officer to demand the
surrender of Whittlesey and his
men with the explanation that
reslrtanre was hopeless and only
meant rerta n di-utn. the Amer
ican officer sent back the mes
sage "Go to hell." and fought on
until relieved by otherAmerican
units. Or the 250 men who fol
