ROOSEVELT IS SAFE
Message to Colonel From
France Says Son Is Alive.
Former President Given Ovation at
Republican State Convention
at Saratoga, N. Y.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, July 1e.-Quentln
Roosevelt has been saved, according
to cable received by Colonel Roose-
welt from France.
Saratoga, n. Y, July 19-Theodore
Roosevelt emphasized ''the necessity of
electing a Republican congress- in an
address here before the New York
state unofficial Republican state con-
vention.
A magnificent demonstration greet
ed Colonel Roosevelt when he entered
the crowded convention hall at 5 :23 p.
m. Cheers and hand-clappings herald
ed his arrival. Then the band struck
up ''The Star-Spangled Banner"
To it's strains he marched down the
main aisle on the arms of former Rep
reSentative Clocks, the Whitman cam
paign manager, and Senator Theodore
Douglas Robinson his nephew and
manager for Attorney General Lewis.
The crowd was standing, shouting
and waving handkerchiefs. eve want
Teddy" and "Three cheers for Teddy
were heard above the din.
In a brief introduction "of him who
needs no introduction" Mr.. Fassett ex-
pressed the sympathy of the gathering
in the bereaved fathers loss.
Colonel Roosevelt said he wished to
emphasize two points; first, that we
must have a Thorough going Ameri-
canization of our citizenship, and Sec
ond. that we must win the war"
His declaration that there can be no
"fifty-fifty citizenship in America" was
loudly cheered.
There is room in this country for
but one language-that of the Declare"
ton of independence" was another ex-
preston that evoked prolonged APP
plause.
eve must treat the Hun within our
gates as the greatest enemy, and we
must consider as reasonable those
who advocate a premature peace.
The greatest demonstration followed
his assertion that "the surest way to
cure the German spy menace here Is
to shoot him when found"
"This war will be won by just one
set of men-by the fighting Americans
at the fighting front" brought the
crowd to their feet cheering.
1--WE have played poor part in the
early stages of the world war" the
colonel continued. LET us make the
finishing of the war an American task.
By this time next year we ought to
have overseas an army as great as
the combined armies of France and
England. an army of between 100000
and 100000 fighting soldiers on the
various fighting fronts, and this, con-
sidering requirements and noncombat-
ants. means at least 100000 men.
While there will be peculiar need for
supervision of big business after the
war. the colonel said, business men
should be permitted to cooperate and
combine. and business should not be
penalized merely because of its size.
Government ownership should be
avoided wherever possible, he declared.

our troops went on.
The fighting still continued in this

In the region of scissors. where the
attack was especially successful. the
Americans carried everything before
them by storm. Early in the after
noon they had passed their final known
objective. From the second to the
third objective they swept behind a
third barrage.
The resistance TO the south was
especially vicious. At some places the
American advancing troops were held
up, but only temporarily.

Douglas Fairbanks Has Novel
Comedy,


Appearing in his latest photoplay,
Mr.. Fix-it," as the expounder of the
theory that happiness is a habit and
comes only to those who. afford hap
piness to others, Douglas Fairbanks
will be seen in a new and novel char
acter creation vastly different from
those of the wild West in which he
recently has been seen with such sue
cess.
The scenes of "Mr Fix-it' are To-
Gated in the home of wealthy residents
of New York, and he is an all round
fixer of hearts and things. There is
much pickering. petty hatred and
jealousy among these aristocratic
men and women, but when MIR. Fix
it, enters a magical transformation
takes place. He is a genial, smiling
chap who laughs and conducts him
self in a manner that provokes the
sternest criticism of the elderly maid :
ems and aunts of the contracted cou-
pies. This does not dismay him one
whit, for he keeps right on fixing mat
tiers by practical illustrations of his
philosophy, the result being a series
of mirth- provoking developments
which afford infinite amusement to all
who behold them.
An exciting scene in the picture is a
battle between MIR. Fix-it' and sew
eral gangsters in the slums. Mr..
Fairbanks climbs down the side of a
house on a clothesline and swings
across a street on an election banner
This is said 10 be one of the most
thrilling stunts Mr.. Fairbanks ever
has performed.
"Mr. Fix-it," which will be displayed
at the Isis Theatre today and to-
morrow, is said to be an excellent

On the afternoon of the third days

being shelled. A thrill ran through me
and gazed in awe. The airplane was
making wide circles in the air, while
