PERSHING WIRES
ROOSEVELT'SSON
WAS in BATTLE
Expresses Regrets at Report
of Missing Airman; Hopes
He Landed Safely
Ru Astncintcd Prrss


New York, July 1S.-Colonel Theo-
dore Roosevelt just before leaving
the city for Saratoga, N. Y, to attend
the Republican state convention to-
day. received a cablegram from Gen
eral Pershing in which the American
commander expressed the hope that
Lieutenant Quentin Roosevelt, the
coloners son, repoNed killed in an
n .rial battle in France, may have
landed safely.
Text of Cablegram
The cablegram read:
Regret very much that your son,
Lieutenant Quentin Roosevelt, re-
ported as missing. On July IA, with
on a mission of protecting photo
graphic section. Seven enemy
planes were sighted and attacked
after which enemy planes returned
and our planes broke off combat re-
turning to their base. Lieutenant
Roosevelt did not return. A mem Der
of the squadron reports seeing one
OF our planes fall out of the combat
and into the clouds and the French
report an American plane was seen
descending.
Will Advise Immediately
'I hope he may have landed safe
ly. Will advise you Immediately on
receipt of further information"
Colonel Roosevelt, in reply, cabled:
I'VE are deeply grateful for your
thoughtful kindness and we never
will forget it,
Colonel Roosevelt's attitude SEEM
ed more hopeful than upon receipt
last night of word sent from Paris
by Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, Jr.,
stating reports of Quentin's death
were absolutely unconfirmed" there.
Dispatches from Oyster Bay state
that Colonel and Mrs. Roosevelt had
been prepared to some extent for the
news of the death of their youngest
son because of a press cable mes
sage, which was received Tuesday
night. as follows:
'fWatch Sycamore Hill in event
of - [deleted by censorl."
This was referred to Colonel
Roosevelt. to learn if he had any
message which would give a meaning
to the dispatch. The colonel studied
it at his home after IL o'clock on
Tuesday night and came to the con-
clusion that it meant that something
had happened to either Major Theo-
dore Roosevelt, Jr., or Lieutenant
Quentin Roosevelt, probably the lat
ter.
The message seemed most prob
ably to refer to either of these two,
because they were the only sons OF
the eX-President engaged in the
fighting at present.
Aside from the hint in the dis
patch, both Colonel and Mrs. Roose-
welt were prepared for tragic news
and steeled to bear it. With four OF
their sons in the battle and two
wounded, they realized fully that the
chances were very strongly against
| all four surviving. They felt that any
day might bring them such news.
Colonel Roosevelt learned of his
sons death yesterday morning at II
o'clock when correspondent called
| at his home at Oyster Bay with dis
! patches. He was outwardly calm
when he heard the news, and he
read the dispatches carefully. Their
| he left the room to break the news
| to Mrs. Roosevelt.
Proud of Sacrifice
Colonel Roosevelt and Mrs. Roose-
welt motored to New York in the aft
| ernoon and went to the Hotel Lang
don, where friends called on them
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1918-07-19

talon all through its advance in
spite of his condition.
Kermit Roosevelt was attending
the Officers Training Camp at
Plattsburg in July, 1917, when he
accepted a commission in the Brit
ish army and went to Mesopotamia.
Last month he was decorated with
the British Military Cross for gal
lantry in two engagements, in
which he was captain of sappers.
Several weeks ago he left the British
army to take his place with the
Americans in France.
His Boyhood in Washington
When Quentin Roosevelt left for
service as an aviator with the
American overseas forces his friends
in Washington and those who had
known him at Oyster Bay said
Goodbye" with the conviction that
he would never return.
| 1t was not that they thought the
Youngest son of the ex-president
would be foolhardy; it was their
conviction that he would get to the
forefront of the fighting just as
quickly as his father had tried to
| go there and that he would give
everything that there was in him to
accomplish something that would be
worth while i'm defeating the Kaiser.
When word was received here a
| few days ago that young Roosevelt
had down his first German plane
and was already in the thick of the
light, every one who has known
him said, Il told you so. He could
not do otherwise"
He showed a great love for ami
NAL life, and there were many
stories told about him.
A pony had been given by Cor
nelius N. Bliss, then Secretary of
the Interior, to Quentin's older
brother, Archibald B. Roosevelt,
now a captain in the American
overseas forces. At one time, when
Archie was i'll with diphtheria,
! Quentin became obsessed by the be-
! lief that his brothers recovery de-
| pended upon his seeing the pony
He managed to get the animal into
the private elevator of the White
House and took him in the elevator
to the bedroom on the upper floor
There has always been a suspicion
that Colonel Roosevelt was a party
to the prank.
That was but one incident. Birds
and beasts and even reptiles were
| included in the small menagerie
which he collected, and to which
many friends who learned that
| Colonel Roosevelt encouraged the
boys study of nature at first hand,
contributed.
A story was told today by friend
! OF the family about an occasion
when Quentin was found on his way
to the White House on a street car
with hive of bees, an event which
caused every one on the car but the
boy no end of worry.
| On another occasion, dressed in
Indian garb, with turkey feathers
trailing down his back, Quentin or
Ganized band of Indians among the
youngsters of the neighborhood, and
! directed desperate tribal battles un-
der the ancient elms of the White
| House grounds.
Colonel Roosevelt has always
been "chum" to his boys. He
brought them up in a modest way
on diet of play and work, shared
with them their joys and sorrows,
and was never so proud as when
they achieved success.

Attorney General to be for the dura-
tlon of the war. Over half of the
counties have these volunteer police,
Allegheny having the most. APP
polntments for many more are pend
ing, recommendations made by
county chairmen of committees OF
public safety having been approved
by the State Council of National De-
fense. The appointments will prob
ably be acted upon by the Governor
this month.
Under opinions by the Attorney
General the volunteer policemen are
to constitute an emergency force
during the war and are not to be
called upon to do routine police duty.
In the lists of men appointed are
many who have seen, service in the
regular army and the national guard
in years gone by, businessmen and
athletes who were prominent years
ago. These policemen are separate
from the various home defense or
ganiZations.
To Consider Code.-Members of
the State Industrial Board will con-
slider later in the month the OBJ
jectons made to the proposed code
to govern printing establishments.
In addition to the objections pre-
sented yesterday a number have been
received by mail. The boards de-
cision on the code after studying the
criticisms will be final.
To Be Paid.-Men who partici-
pated in the camp of the Reserve
Militia at Mt. Gretna this week will
receive their pay tomorrow. The
preparations for the pay distribu-
ton were completed to-day. There
were approximately 5000 men at
the camp.
Urge Early Action.-Farmers of
Pennsylvania are being urged by Of
ficials of the State Department of
Agriculture to make their purchase
of fertilizers Immediately as there
is danger of shortage and the de-
mands from many counties bid fair
to be heavy. Reports coming here
indicate that more July plowing is
under way than known for a long
time and that an immense acreage
will be sown in wheat If labor can be
secured.
Ask AnswePs.-Complain filed
against toll roads in Lancaster
county have been sent to the COM
panies controlling them for answers
by the Public Service Commission.
4 number of turnpike cases are
pending and hearings may be held
next month or September.

American soldiers, half were made by the hands Of the knitting
women of America. january Report)
We are the knitting womenj weaving swift
Our webs Of olive drab and navy gray; =
We are the women, keeping thought away
By this new work of love, this eager gift
Through which our men, facing the bitter fight
Under the stars Of far and foreign lands,
Shall know that still a million women's hands
Uphold them in the darkness and the night.
We are the knitting women, knitting fast
A web Of love; our million hearts are sent
AS one, with ev'ry marching regiment,
Loves own democracy is come at last.
High over stricken France the black smoke towers;
Beneath it, in the hurry and the noise
Are eastern, western, northern, southern, boys,
No longer yours or mine,-forever ours!
We are the knitting women; weaving strong
a web Of prayer; ourfeyes with tears, are dim,
But, wife or mother, we shall search for him
Across the seas, morning and even-song.

The God of Battles-Father, still Thou art
The God of withdrawing women, too!
