up his heaviest artillery and when
he must have been at the pinnacle of

Quintin Roosevelt
Meets Death in Air.

Quentin Roosevely, younger son
of Col. Theodore Roosevelt and a
lieutenant in the Aviation branch
of the United States Army, met his
death, while fighting Germans in
the air on the German side of the
Western front line, in the first half
of last week. For several days
there was hope that young RooSe-
welt had possibly escaped death but
last Sundays papers brought the
news that German airmen had
dropped a message confirming the
first report of the young lieutenants
death. Upon reception of the news
of his sons death the former presi-
dent simply said.
Quentin ! nothsEand ! arc very
glad that he got to tiie front and
had the chance to render some SER
vice to his country and to show the
stuff there was in him before his
fate befell him."
Not all Americans have been ad-
mirerS of Col. Roosevelt but all
hearts 90 out to him in the loss of
his brave boy who showed first that
he was entitled to be ranked among
the best of Americas young men
by the fact that he was accepted in
the aviation service.
Another son, Major Theodore
Roosevelt, junior, was recently
wounded in action and carried to a
hospital in France. A message
from Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt ,jr., last
Saturday brought the welcome
news that her husbands condition
was not serious. Mrs. Roosevelt is
