Quentin Roosevelt
Victorious in Fight
With German Airn,an

With the American Forces on the
Marne, July l0-Lt. Quentin Roose.
velt, the youngest son of ex-Presi-
dent Roosevelt. brought down his
first German airplane this after
noon in fight north of Chateau
Thierry.
Lieutenant Roosevelt, with three
other pilots, was flying at a height
of 5000 yards eight miles inside of
the German lines when the ma
chimes became separated. Soon
after, Roosevelt saw three planes
which he thought were his COM
panions and started to Join them.
He was closely approaching the ma
chimes from the rear when he saw
his mistake, for the planes were
Germans. Roosevelt Immediately
opened fire and after so shots trac.
ers penetrated the fusilage of the
nearest German machine and it
went into spinning nose dive tall
ing through the clouds 1000 yards
below.
The lieutenant is certain it must
have crashed, for no pilot volun-
tarily goes into a 1000 yard spin
ming nose dive. The two remaining
German airplanes attacked Roose-
welt, but he managed to make good
his escape and return to the field,
himself and his machine un-
scratched.

Thousands March Past
Body Of Dead Aviator
In New York City Hall

New York July 1O.-Silent, sad
dened citizens in seemingly endless
lines marched through the rotunda
of City Hall tonight, past the flag
draped casket in which reposed the
body of Major John Purroy Mitchell
The coffin had been sealed before
it was brought to the historic build
ing to lie in state where the bodies
8of Abraham Lincoln and U. S. Grant
once rested.
On the wall was hung an Ameri-
can flag, flanked by the colors of
the allies. A soft spotlight played
on the flags and another on the cof-
fin, beside which was a standard of
United States flags.
T. A service flag of white with a mar
row black border, bearing a single
golden star, was draped beside the
casket, while another gold service
star on a shield was hung between
the center pillars of the building.

LEG|0NS TO HAVE
Allies BACKING
Forces Battling in Siberia
Pledged to Refrain From
Asserting Control Over
Country Conquered.
BY Associated Press.

Washington, July l0.-The success
of the Czecho-Sldvak legions in re-
establishing order in Siberia and in
overcoming armed opposition from
former German and Austrian prison.
ers has had the effect OF suspending
the preparation of plans by the en-
tente and the United States for. the
organization of an international mill
tary force to campaign in Siberia.
1t was stated autHoritatively today
that none of the plans considered had
met the objection of the United States
government that they involved
weakening of the western front in
Europe Besides this objection, there
has been reluctance on the part OF
the administration to depart from its
policy of noninterference in the in
ternal affairs of a friendly country.
Il was admitted an exception might
be justified in the case of Siberia, if it
were clearly established that the ua-
tive population was forcibly dom
mated by Austro-German soldiers and
influence.
Rapid Campaign Surprise,
1t is understood an agreement to
try the American proposal to assist
the Russians economically was about
as far as the negotiations between the
entente and the Washington authori
ties had progressed when news of
the rapid Czecho-Slovak campaign in
Siberia demonstrated the necessity for
revision of any plans for a military
campaign. 1t was said the develop
ments were so sudden and unexpect-
ed that it was not possible to decide
just how and when military aid
should be extended

be, as they hold this would be en-
tirely consistent with an attitude OF

pledged to refrain from asserting con-
troll over the country through which
they are passing.
In discussing the Czecho-Slovaks
successes today, the Czecho-Slovak
national council here declared that the
forces are fighting in Siberia with the
sole idea of battling as one of the
allied forces against the Germans.
and that their movement would be
governed 'by orders transmitted them
through Prof. T. G. Masaryk, their
leader, in this country.
1t was explained that while indif-
ferent as to whether they fight on the
western front or on an eastern front,
the Czecho-Slovaks feel that they
must not be involved in the internal
affairs of any country.

HIGHBROWS AND LOWBROWS

The world is indebted to the Chris
tian Register for painstaking analysis
and definition of the word "high-
brow" Many persons have been
doubtful whether to consider this
epithet term of praise or of con-
tempt. Let such persons perpend:
"A highbrow is a person who has
never known any genuine experience
in life Senses has he, but he sees,
hears, smells, tastes, touches, lifts
not. Sensations never thrill his spin
a, column. He counts it coarse and
Grass to be of the earth earthly.
"Leaping from the cradle to the
pinnacle of culture with the aid and
abetting of a system of education
which loves words and despises facts,
there he stands precociously reflec-
tive. His head grows ponderously,
but his shoulders droop, his chest
fiattens and his blood runs like tepid
water. All he gets he borrows by
means of word-mongering and men,
orizing. Other peoples though is his
by purely intellectual processes. He
knows not the meaning of reality, he
never gets beyond mental mendicancy.
"He begins literally at no begin
ming and works to no end. He is a
dweller in No Mans Land, They say
he knows books, but he cannot get a
job. People marvel at his encyclope
dic ability to quote poetry and statis-
tics and historical data. Still they
leave him unnoticed in the market
place.
There are highbrows who write
books, the writer suggests, even war
books. And then there are men like
Sergeant Empey and Private Peat, un-
tutored fellows, who have lived real
life, who have firm hold on reality,
and who from the very fulness OF
their experience are driven to write
And it is their books that the public
reads.
In the light of this elucidation, who
would be a highbrow? The opposite
term loses all its sting. We can all
