The cablegram read:
 Regret very much that your son, Lieut.. Quentin Roosevelt, reported as missing. On July fl, with a patrol of 12 planes, he left on a mission of protecting photographic section. Seven enemy planes were sighted and attacked after which enemy planes returned and our planes broke off combat, returning to their base. Lieut.. Roosevelt did not return. A member of the squadron reports sec ing one of our planes fall out of the combat and into the clouds and the French report an American plane was seen descending.
 T hope he may have landsd safely. Will advise you immediately on re- ceipt of further information"
 Col Roosevelt, in reply, cabled:
 We are deeply grateful for your thoughtful kindness and we never will forget it.
 Col Roosevelt's attitude seemed more hopeful than on receipt last night of word sent from Paris by Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., saying that reports of Quentin's death was absolutely unconfirmed" there.

very encouraging all along the line.
For many months, while the United
States was getting ready, Germany
was putting the allies on the defen-
sive all the time with masses Of
troops being hurled against the allied
lines in great effort to break
through and reach Paris, but the al
lied lines held as solid as the rock
of Gibralter excepting minor break
here and there, and during this time
your Uncle Sam was coming fast, and
today this country has undoubtedly
saved the day for the allies and for
itself and the future outcome of the
war is no longer in doubt. 1t is only
a question of short time until the
German kaiser will either have to
sue for peace or be brought to his
knees. To think that we have trans
ported over million men across the
Atlantic with scarcely any loss is a
feat that Germany never thought
could be done-but it is done and
speaks we'll for the great American
nation that has a habit Of doing
things right when it undertakes a
job. Millions more will be lover
there" shortly if necessary and the
Berlin butchers are now shaking in
their boots at what must look to them
ignominious defeat staring them in
the face This is an optomistic view
of the situation, but it is a correct
viewpoint. This country can furnish
all the man power necessary to win
this war and in addition to that it
can not only furnish the money for
the allies but plenty for itself. We
have unlimited wealth and every
ounce of it will be used to win. It is
war Of justice and right and Uncle
Sam never tackles job Of this kind
before he knows he is right, and
when he once comes to this conclusion
the word fail is Immediately cut out
of all the dictionaries of this coun-
try and he never stops until he goes
over the top. That is the United
States way of doing business-that is
the way we shall come out of this
war - on top. The administration
seemed to be slow in the start but we
want to say that when things got I'M
der way and there was a shaking up
in a few spots, progress has been
made wonderfully fast. Just think
of the magnitude of the task and then
analyze the immense amount of work
that has been done. Think of the
vast sums of money raised and the
immense loans made to foreign coun-
tries, and of the great army and navy
and flying men we have built up in
the past year or so, it is marvellous
and no other country in the world
could do so well. Let US give praise
to those in charge and be grateful to
that big man in the White House who
has all these big burdens of state to
bear and is bearing them in a way
that denotes the true American citi-
zen.

Speaking about the city beautiful
the Times Record is of the opinion
that the center Of the city wherin
lies what is called the Northern Pa
cifc park, is anything but beauty
spot. 1t has grown up to foxtail
grass and is most uninviting look
ing park. 1t seems to US that if this
was at least moved off and cleaned
up the appearance of it would be much
improved. 1t seems a great shame
that what might have been beauty
spot has been allowed to grow up me-
elected with stumps of dead trees
standing as monument to a neglect
ed opportunity to make very pretty
spot that would attract attention to
all who passed through our city on
the trains. It is too late this sea-
son to do anything with it but next
year let's ginger up and fix this up or
get permission from the railroad COM
pany to put it in to a war garden
which would look better than the
present condition and be of vast more
benefit.

YOUR BOYS IN
U.S.. WAR FILMS

When the first United States Off
cial war films, "Pershing's Crusad-
ers," are shown at the auditorium you
may see your own particular Sammy
on the screen. Others have done so
and the showing of these films has
created an immense amount of inter-
est among those who have relatives
or friends now at the front.
In the recent showing of the films
in Cincinnati, Lieutenant R. Stanley
Davis, U. S. A., commanding an
aviation post somewhere in France"
was recognized. His friends discov-
cred him in the aviation field pictures
with a starters flag in his hand.
While the pictures were showing a
letter was received from him, telling
of things cover there"
Every mother, sister or sweetheart
with a soldier at the front should see
these latest pictures. You may see
your boy over there. Look for him.

The Independent Voters Associa-
ton and the democrats have recently
held meetings at Bismarck to COM
pare notes since the recent primary
election and to sort of line up some
manner of procedure for the future.
Mr.. Doyle, is the democratic nomi-
nee for governor and as such will
probably stick to the job until the
votes are counted next November.
The point now is shall the republi-
cans fuse with the democrats or shall
they abide with the result of the ma
jority of the voters of the state and
60 away back and sit down. That's
the burning question Of the hour.
There are to be other meetings in the
near future at which time the anti
Frazier forces will either decide to
fuse or quit the fight. At this time
matters appear to be considerably up
in the air with the leaguers sitting
tight on a very good sized majority
vote in the state.

We have been notified by the gov
eminent that shortage of paper is
in prospect and that we will have to
cut out every paper that it not paid
for in order to conserve the supply
Of paper. War conditions have demon
allied the paper industry so that it
is hard to get a sufficient supply to
keep things moving. The Times-Rec-
ord, will have to obey the mandates
OF the government and every person
who has been on the free list or re-
Giving complimentary copies of this
paper, will, after the fifteenth of this
month, be cut off unless they come
in and order the same in the regular
way. This includes county officers
and everybody. You now have due
and sufficient notice and the carrier
boys will be instructed to discontinue
serving any or all who have been
reading the Times-Record under the
complimentary system. Those who
want the paper must come in and

Commencing August first the price
of the Daily and Weekly Times-Rec-
ord will be raised in price according
to the new schedule as published
elsewhere in this issue. We are not
doing this because we want to make
any profit out of these publications.
but because we find that with the raise
in the price of news print paper and
the additional charges imposed for
postage by the government that we
cannot publish the paper without
loss at the present prices. Papers
all over the country have been boost
ed in price to meet these conditions
and we have finally come to it as
protection to ourselves. Merchants
have been raising their prices to keep
up with changed conditions for the
past two or three years and we have
tried to hang on hoping that change
fer TIE better would come but the
war is making things 60 higher and
higher and we have finally come to the
time when we must charge more or
quit issuing the papers. Fifty cents
year is not much to add on to the
weekly and one dollar per year is
very little to add to daily. We feel
that with our added up-to-the minute
telegraph service, giving the people
the news quicker than any other pa
per that can get in here, makes the
paper worth the price, and whether we
had this service or not, we could not
publish the paper at the present price
anyway. Those of our readers who
want to pay up for year in advance
can get the old price up to August
first when the change will be made.
We are compelled to cut off many ex-
changes and all "dead-heads" who
have been reading the paper for moth
ing in order to conform to the govern
ment's plan Of conserving pulp and
other material used in manufacturing

and in the next few days you don't
