SHARP ANSWER IS MADE TO
DEMAND SENT BY ENEMY
Drama was a t its height in the
world war when Lieut.-Col. Charles
W hittlesey, commanding the Lost
Battalion, is reputed to have told the
Qerman forces to “Go to H U ." Whit-
tlescy's defiance came m answer to
the enemy's demand that he surrend
er his position. It Is portrayed In
faithful detail in the flint "The Lost
Battalion." which is to be shown at
the Bell Theater Monday and Tuesday
March » and 10, for the benefit of the
American Legion.
Colonel W hittlesey and Captain
G eorg' McMurtry rend the letter
which was delivered by one of thel»
own men who had been captured. It
had been penciled by Lieutenant
Heinrich Print of the German army
who before the war had spent six
years in Seattle. The German officer
appealed to the Americans to sur
render on the grounds of humanity,
saying that the moans of the suffer
ing Americans in the Argonne "pock
et" could be heard in the enemy lines,
that further resistance was vain and
that rescue was impossible.
A white flag was to be shown If
the Americans wished to accept and
surrender.
The answer was an
order from Colonel W hittelsey to take
down even the white cloth panels
which marked his position for his
own airplanes. Doing th at he de
liberately cut the last link connect
in g h‘m with the American forces
Trom whom he had become separated
when his battalion pressed on and
carried Its objectives while support
tng units were unable to stand the
pace. He cut thst link, the Yanks
held on. relief came.
