Lieutepant Quentin Roosevelt,
whose death while flying as an allied
aviator. confirmed from German
sources, was the youngest son of the
former president. He disappeared
during a combat between German and
American machines ten miles inside of
the enemy lines in the Chateau
Thierry sector.
Two machines attacked Lieutenant
Roosevelt and one of the machines
was seen to tumble to the ground.
Search for him after the battle re-
vealed no traces and it was evident
that Lieutenant Roosevelt's machine
had gone down. One report was that
the machine caught fire, while an
other account said that it was not in
flames when It was seen to fall.
Lack of official confirmation Of. the
lieutenant's death prompted some
hope that he might have been made q
prisoner. A cablegram received by
Colonel Roosevelt Friday from rela-
tives in Paris said that Quentin's plane
dived 500 meters and was seen to
strike the ground. It was not in
