All Americans will regret to
learn that Lieutenant Quentin
Roosevelt, son of a former Pres
ident of the United States, was
killed in an aerial combat in
France. He was twenty years
old and the youngest son of the
former President. Reports of
the air fight state that young
Roosevelt fought up to the last
minute, three machines being
against him. After Quentin's
death was reported. doubt arose
as to its correctness but Satur-

into the American lines, confirm
ing the report. A dispatch was
also published in Sundays Cour-

WAR NEWS.
FIERCE FIGHTING CONTINUES.

On the French Front in France,
July IT, (By the Associated
ess)-Forty-eight hours have
suficed for the holding of the
German masses launched in the
Crown Princes great offensive
on Monday. The enemy units
which were turned back from
the direction of Paris, and are
endeavoring to ascend the Marine
are being held in check by the
French troops.
The position of the German
columns which had gained a
footing on the south bank of the
Marine has become perilous, while
to the east of Rheims the Ger
man efforts to advance have
each time been foiled.
Comparatively slight progress
has been made by the enemy on
the front west of Rheims, but
his hope of effecting breach in
the line was not realized.
The allied method of defense
proved wonderfully efficacious
everywhere, resulting in main
tanning the armies intact.
London, July 17.-Casualties
sustained by the German troops
in the offensive up to the pres
ent are estimated to number
100, 600, according to news re-
ceived in London today from the
battle front in France.
The position for the allies at
the present stage of the often
sive is said to be distinctly sat-
isfactory in advices received to-
day. The French losses are
stated to have been very small.
They have lost no guns, the re-
port declares.
Gen. Won Einem's army, which
has engaged on the German left
wing in the Champagne, yester.
day delivered five attacks be.
tween Suippe and Massiges. All
the attacks were repuIsed with
heavy losses.
French counter attacks have
brought the German bridges
over the River Marne under the
fire of the French artillery Of
medium calibre.
Forces of the German crown
prince advanced another three

The enemy succeeded in pene-
trating into Bourdonnerie. The
battle is continuing in the woods
Immediately to the south of this
point.
On the front further to the
east the French held the enemy
in the southern outskirts of the
Bouquieny wood and at the vii
lage of Nesles.
A powerful attack likewise
was made by the Germans in the
direction of Monvoison, but were
driven from this locality by a
French counter attack. On the
front between the Marine and
Rheims the fighting developed
violently in the Courton wood.
The Germans attacked in the
Vrigny region on this front, but
their assault here broke down
completely.
Along the line to the east of
Rheims the Germans delivered
local attacks, notably in the
Prunay region. These efforts
by the enemy were fruitless. In
renewed assaults upon Beau
mont the enemy suffered a SAN
culinary repulse.
The French positions through
out the region to the east of
Rheims were maintained intact.
The statement reads:
South OF the Marine new Ger

attack in the region of Vrigny
broke down completely.
East of Rheims German local
attacks were fruitless, notably
in the region of Prunay. A re-

THE HURT OF WAR LIES.

War lies are not unnatural. They
are the spontaneous outgrowth of war
conditions. But, whether they ema-
nate from tnemy sympathizers or from
credulous Americans or thoughtless
Americans or natural-born gossips and
drivelers, war lies are not to- be toss
ed aft as inconsequential and trivial.
In the aggregate they do strious in
jury to the nations cause, and no man
or woman who has the desire to see
America bring this war to triumph
ant conclusion will ever be too busy
to nail a lie and prevtnt its further
spread.-David Lawrence in Saturday
