ray Of hope that Lieut.. Quentin
Roosevelt may not have fallen to his
death in a combat with a squadron
Of German airplanes was brought to
Col. Roosevelt and his wife last night
in a cable message sent from Paris
by Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, Jr.. in
which she said the report was "ab-
solutely unconirmed" there. The
former president felt, however, that
there only is a slight possibility that
his youngest son may still live.
Ta. message from Mrs. Roosevelt,
who is doing Red Cross work in the
French capital. contained nothing but
the simple statement that she had
been able TO get no confirmation Of
Quentin's death and Col. Roosevelt
feared there was little room to doubt
the accuracy Of the press dispatches
which said the young nier had met a
soldiers fate.

American first lieutenant and anoth-
or lieutenant, who were detained by
Gerlach and two other men who
turned over their prisoners at |

TOBACCO SALES CONTINUED.

The Hopkinsville Tobacco Board
OF Trade has decided not to close the
selling season Aug. as was first dis
cussed but will continue As long as
there is tobacco to be offered on
the market. The extreme dry wealth
er has kept many people from pre-
pairing their crops for the market
The gentle rains yesterday and cloudy
weather will probably order the leaf
for handling and the market will like
ly experience more life during the
next few days.
The rains came to late to replant
many crops that are cut short ON
account Of the dry weather and
much tobacco ground has already
been planted in corn GEi peas. The
rain was a general one over this
entire section and much good to crops
will result. However, the tobacco
and corn crops win be materially cut

WAR SUMMARY.

From the region west Of scissors
to the northwest Of Chateau Thierry
the Americans and French are strik-
ing the Germans a blow which may
have a marked influence on the future
Of the worlds war. The movement
is rewarded with great success.
Along the whole Of a tewnty-fve
mile front the Americans dashed
brilliantly across the German posi-
tions killing. woundiug and capturing
thousands, taking towns. villages,
guns and supplies. Nowhere has the
enemy stayed an attack though after
the first surprise they launched coun-
ter attacks. The Americans alone
west Of scissors, took four thousand
prisoners and thirty guns, while the
French have taken sdditional large
number Of prisoners, The blow, pro-
badly long planned, is aimed at the
territory vital to the Germans opsy-
ating further, south.
So fast has the attack progressed
that the French or Americans either
hold or have under fire lines Of sup
ply for the Germans further south.
Six miles Is apparently the great
est gain, though along the entire
front the line is advanced from four
to five miles.
