The famous “Lost Battalion,” whose members hotly deny that it ever was lost, proposes to demon- {strate that fact again to-night. Members of that never-surrender- ing, always-fighting, German-Army- jdefying organization simply cannot get rid of that name—“Lost Battal |ion"—and at last they-are accepting it, some of them at least, because they know that when the Nation gave them the name it was given as a ‘military medal is given. For ali that, they are about to |prove once more that they are not lost, and the proof will be presented at the armory of the 22d Engineers, 168th Street and Washington Avenue, where there is to be a reunion to- night, Almost all of the members will be present it is promised, some of them |coming from as far as Chicago, And their wives and sisters and (sweethearts and friends will be there to look them over and dance with them. Col. Charles W. Whittlesey himself, who was their commander when they were “lost,” and who told the Germans to “Go to hell” when he was requested to surrender, is ex- pected to be present. | | ‘The reunion was arranged by Sergt.

Chusetts authorities, BY HASTE TO SEE GIRL ' the last few minutes of trading there was a decided stromg tone. From all appearances there was a scarcity of some stocks as on sales of one and two hundred shares gains of a point and more were recorded. This was particularly noticeable in U. 8. Realty, Associated O11, Ameri- can Oil, American Agricultural Chem- ical, Marlin Rockwell and Maxwell Motor certificates. The rails, in view of their popular- ity during the recent break, also at- tracted attention and many traders are predicting them to be the next speculative favorites. The oils were neglected with tha exception of Royal Dutch New York, which recorded a gain of 21-4 points, and Mexican Petroleum, which gold off on new that the Mexican Government had stopped drilling operations on the part of some oil companies located in that country. ——— | The independent oi stocks were the only strong features of the outside market, with Simms Petroleum the leader, Other oils to show gains were Invincible, International Petroleum and Margay. ‘The industrial list was practically unchanged.
