PARIS, July c0.--German aviators
have dropped note into American
aviation camps confirming the death
of Lieutenant Quentin Roosevelt
Lieutenant Quentin Roosevelt, whose
death while flying as an aviator in the
American ranks is confirmed from
German sources, was the youngest
son of the former president. He dis
appeared last Sunday morning during
a combat between American and Ger
man machines ten miles inside 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 reveal
ed no traces and it was evident that
Lieut.. Roosevelt's machine had gone
down. One report was that the ma
chine caught fire, while another &C
count said that it was not in flames
when 1t was seen to fall.
Was Reported Prisoner.
Lack of official confirmation of the
lieutenant's death prompted some
hope that he might have been made
a prisoner. A cablegram received by
Col Roosevelt Friday from relatives
in Paris. said that Quentin's plane div
ed 800 metres and was seen to strike
the ground. 1t was not In flames.

Germans Forced to Rash
Up 100, 900 Reserves to
Meet the Allied Attack
fny As.ociated Press

PARIS, July 20.-The Germans have
been forced to bring up 100000 re-
serves to the army Of the German
crown prince as a result Of yesterday s
fighting and the French and Ameri-
cans, after fluctuations have been en-.
abled to strongly fortify the newly
gained positions southwest OF Scissors
says Marcel Huun In the Echo de
Paris.
NJ Hutin adds that the enemy men
ace toward the Paris region has been
frustrated and that the efforts of the
crown prince against Epernay, Mont
mirail and Rheims have gone for
naught.
The battle begun late yesterday con-
tinued with fierceness into the night,
the Germans losing better positions
to the French, who are fighting uphill.
The advance Is being won foot by
foot owing to the hige reserves thrown
into support the crown prince.
To change the front in the middle OF
q battle. such as Napoleon was obliged
to do at Waterloo and Leipsig, is a
difficult proceeding. points out Major
de Civrieux. Notwithstanding the con-
tinuity Of the front, the condition OF
warfare have changed less than has
been thought, he adds, and the situa-
tion Of an army engaged in offensive
drives which is suddenly confronted
by flank attack as strong as it is
is always grave.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY, Be-
tween the Aisne and the Marne, July
19.-American troops participating IN
the Franco American advance late to-
day Of about a mile and a quarter on
the Scissors Chateau Thierry front
went forward against strong machine
run fire over ground covered with
German dead.
From a hill east Of Dommiera about
six kilometres southwest of Soissons,
the correspondent Friday saw the
Americans going into action In the
forward movement The advance was
well organized and the system worked
well from one end Of the line to the
other.
Under a barrage fire from 75's and
55's, American infantry and machine
gunners advanced through r!pening
grainfelds, trampled by the retreat
ing Germans Thursday, and reached
their detectives according to the sched-
ule, despite the fire of German ma
chino guns The bombardment OF the
big German guns was feeble.
The Americans started from point
Just west OF the Paris-Soissons road
near the shell-shattered village Of
Missy-Au1-Bois. advancing nearly a
kilometre before the Germans began
to reply with their big guns to the
American barrage. Missy-AuxBois
lies IN a valley and the Americans
were advancing up grade toward the
east A few tanks were here and
there preceding the infantrymen. AS
the Americans progressed the enemy
barrage fire increased.
The hillsides east Of Dommiers, over
which the Americans advanced. were
dotted with dead. The entire region
was we'll within the German lines un-
I'll after the Franco-American often
sive of Thursday. One quickly dug
trench had been filed with German
bodies. They were machine gunners
who had been caught by the terrific
fire of the allied artillery. In many
places the German dead We're in piles.
while a trench on the crest Of a hill
contained more than 100 bodies.
After intense barrage fire along the
entire front from scissors to Chateau
Thierry the allied advance this even
ing opened exactly at $50 o'clock. AS
far as the eye could reach could be
seen observation balloons, while the
sky was specked with allied airplanes
darting in various directions, many re-
turning from over the German lines
TO make quick report on observa-
tions and the result Of the fire of the
big guns. From the hillside the smoke
and dust thrown up by the allied
shells could be seen away beyond the
advancing Americans.
Behind the advancing troops came
American trucks loaded with choco,
late. tobacco and various foodstuffs.
These went back and forth steadily.
Other trucks went from place to place
providing foodstuffs and water for the
Americans who were to follow their
advancing comrades.
Twenty-Five minutes after the Fran
co-American advance began, the rat
tie of German machines could be
heard in the distance. but 1t did not
affect the Americans. who only ap-
peared more eager 10 progress. The
officers had to caution them not to
proceed beyond the barrage in accord
ance with the schedule.

LONDON, July 20-The al
lied gains on the front of the
Aisne-Marne offensive have
been further extended along the
line between Montaigne de Par
is, mile and a half southwest
of scissors, on the north to Bel
leau, 5 miles northwest of Cha
teau Thierry on the south.
The number Of German pris-
oners taken in the Franco
American offensive now has
reached 1890.
On the Rheims front the
French forces have advanced for
distance of 1000 yards be-
tween Souain and Auberive.
The French also made slight
progress near Pourcy.
Entente allied troops today
are driving back the Germans
on the southern bank of the
river Marne and are now ap-
preaching the river embank-
ment.
Attacks by the French last
night caused the Germans to fall
back still farther along the line.
Pursuing the policy of con-
servatisn, the French war office
makes no extreme claims of vic
tory along the Aisne-Marne
front. The front, as deIineated
in official reports, leaves the
Clignon river near Torcy, runs
northward through Licy-CIig-
non and Neuilly-St. Front, turns
slightly to tie west to Mauloy
wood, thence north to Very
and up over the high ground to
the hills southwest of scissors.

II will also leave in the midst of

Lord ,"-Zeph. ill, IL.
When true religion Is ready to die out
among the wealthy it finds a home
among the poor of this world, rich in
faith. The Lord has even now His
faithful remnant. Am ! one of them?
Perhaps 1t Is because men are af-
flicted and poor that they learn to
trust in the name Of the Lord. He
that hath no money must try what
he can do on trust, He whose own
name is good for nothing in his own
esteem, acts wisely to rest in another
name, even that best of names, the
name of Jehovah. God will always
have a trusting people, and these will
be an afflicted and poor people. Little
as the world thinks Of them, their be-
ing left in the midst Of a nation is
the channel Of untold blessings to 1t,
Here we have the conserving salt which
keeps in check the corruption which Is
in the world through lust.
Again the question comes home to
each one Of us, Am | one of them? Am
| afflicted by the sin within me and
around me? Am I poor in spirit? Do
| trust in God? That is the main bust
ness. Jesus reveals the name, the
character, the person of God: am |
trusting in Him? II so, ! am left In this
world for a purpose. Lord, help me to
fulfill it.-C. II. Spurgeon.
