LOST BATTALION OF AMERICANS RESCUEDJNTACT Men Found by Comrades After Spending Five Days in Argonne Forest. WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES NORTHWEST OP VERDUN, Oct. 9. -7-11:15 a. m. By The Associated Tress The American battalion which had been lost In the forest of Argonne for nearly five days was rescued at 6:40 o'clock yesterday morning. With their ammunition nearly exhausted and the men weakened from lack of food, the men were on verge of collapse, yet, in spite of the terrific enemy opposition, it was found the battalion was virtually Intact. Pew of its members had been killed or wounded. The lost battalion, whose whereabouts was a mystery for some time after its disappearance during the attack along the edge of the Argonne, comprised several hundred men under the command of MaJ. Charles Whittlesey. Completely surrounded by the Germans, they made their .stand with their pistols. and rifles and a few machine guns as defensive weapons. When relief reached them

their stock of cartridges was almost gone and the men were in a weakened condition from lack of sustenance and the effects of the dampness of these fall days, from which the trapped infantrymen had no blankets to protect them. .' . . . The lelief expedition encountered great difficulty in aiding the rescued men, some of whom were so weak they had to be carried. Medical supplies and food are being rushed to their aid. Several efforts were made yesterday to obtain reports from the lost battalion by messenger and carrier pigeon. A basket containing a number of pigeons was lowered by a parachute in the vicinity of where the Americans were thought to be. The aviator Intrusted with this task declared that the basket seemed to fall exactly where he intended it should, but no bird had returned after a number of hours. The "lost battalion" pushed ahead with the other troops when the first American attack to the west of Verdun began. They were surrounded in all probably because they were not used to forest warfare. Advancing in two widely separated columns the enemy was able to infiltrate behind them without being seen. As soon as the members of the battalion missed the troops to the right and left of them, they tried to find them but . their efforts were checked for the time being by the rain and terrain conditions. Many times in the course of the day airplanes flew over the section of the forest where the Americans were believed to be and messages and food wre dropped for them.

RELIEVED FROM ITCHING BURNING ECZEMA . Givea Retinol the Whole Credit Aug. 15. '.'For some time I suffered frightfully from eczema on my legs. From my knees down they were covered with scales, and itched and burned as though hot coals were resting on them. I would scratch until the blood came, and was unable to sleep at night. Nothing that I tried helped me until a druggist recommended Reslnol. Ointment. After applying it once, I enjoyed the first good nights sleep I had had in weeks. Now I am sound and well after using a little over one jar of Reslnol Ointment, to which I give the whole credit." (Signed F. B. Price, 414 Downey St., Indianapolis, Ind. Reslnol Ointment and Resinol Soap are carried in stock by all druggists.
