LETTER FROM RAY VAN AIKEN

Dear Folks:
! am az the fort now. Have been
here since Saturday afternoon and
think | shall like il but don't know
how long i shall be here. -Four hun
dred left yesterday for Virginia and
the 9Th reg. consisting of about 600
men arrived from Cuba today and
there is some talk of our going there
TO replace them. / hope not as that
means there will be no chance of our
going to France.
! shot sharpshooter at the range
and so guess ! will get raise of So a
month altho | am not sure as there
IS some talk of stopping that. We
may not have any more guard duty
TO do as the possibility of our leaving
may cut US out of il. There are ten
companies here and each one has
guard a week at time and there are
two companies ahead of US now.
received a letter from Nash today
He is better satisfied than he was for
awhile. He has been in the chow hall
for month now and has one more
month to stay there but there is a
possibility of his not staying that long
We have to work awfully hard here.

crawl and do everything else. It
wouldn't be so bad If it were not so
hot but before one goes a mile he is
wet thru.
We were moved all around today
and | am in with q fellow whom
don't know. II is nice here in our
company as there is five of US who
we're in the same company at the Is
land in the same company here, so we
are not among total strangers. In a
way this is nicer than it was at the
Island as they are not so strict and
we have liberty to go to town every
night if we want to. ! have not been
in for two weeks and don't think
shall go before Sunday. Matt has not
come in yet but will be in sometime
this week. Just come from getting a

NAVY ENLISTMENTS AGAIN
OPEN FOR UNLIMITED NUMBER

The following letter regarding en-
listments in the u. S. navy has been
received by the News Champion:
Editor News Champion,
Dear Sir:
For sometime past the Navy Re-
cruiting Station at Denver has been
permitted to enlist only twenty men
per week owing to the fact that the
allowed complement of men for the
Navy was full. However, Congress
has recently passed an act increasing
the enlistment strength of the Navy
and we are, therefore, at the present
time permitted to resume enlistments
in unlimited numbers.
We have a number of young men
in the various towns throughout Colo
RADIO and Wyoming, who have been on
our waiting list for Navy enlistments
and who are asxious to complete their
enlistment at the present time.
At the present time enlistments in
he Navy are for the war period only
and any man who is between the ages
of eighteen and thirty-five may be
accepted provided he passes the phys
ical examination satisfactorily. Men
who are registered may be enlisted
in the Navy provided they secure a
written statement from their local
board to the effect that their order
number is SO low that they are not
required to fill the current quota of
the board. This written statement,
with proof of American citizenship,
should be presented at the Recruiting
Office when applying for enlistment.
Navy Recruiting Stations in Colorado
and Wyoming are located in the fol-
lowing towns: Denver, Colorado
Springs, Pueblo, Trinidad, Grand

Dear Mother and Father:
How is everything there? We are
having some pretty nice weather now,
and most of the people are putting up
their hay crop around here. They
don't have many modern rakes or
mowers, but do most of their work
with sythes, hand rakes, and forks.
have seen old women that looked
like they might be 65 or 20 years old
swinging a sythe like any of the men.
guess all the folks in the family get
in the field and work, for there are
little kids, and old grandmothers help
ing with the work. We had a nice
time here the Fourth. Ball games,
horse races, mule races, and other reg
ular sports, like they have in the
States In the evening there were
some Y. NJ. C. A. people here TO enter
tain us with music and singing, and
wound up with movie. Capt. Kelly
got an artillery band to come and
play for US during the day, and it
seemed almost like a regular fourth
OF July celebration. The French peo-
pie all around came out to the doings
and brot large bouquets to decorate
the camp. ! had long letter from
Miss Emma Lucero a few days ago.
She said to bring my socks home and
she would darn them. l guess will,
and see If she is bluffing or not. 1t
is real nice of the people there to go
to the train and cheer the boys up
when they leave, but Just wait till We
get home. then we will have a regular
celebration. ! hope we won't have
to be sending letters across the big
pond very much longer, the U. S.
troops are arriving over here fast
now, the faster they come. the quicker
the big show will stop, the Huns are
finding out that the "Yanks" are some
scrapping bunch.

lures, don't know if they viii go thru
or not, but will take a chance. Tell

 HIS WIFE WIRES
News of His Injury Follows Quickly Dropping of Note by German Aviator Con- firming Quentin's Death

OYSTER BAY. N. r., July 2O.- Maj Theodore Roosevelt, jr.. has been slightly wounded and taken to a hospital in Paris, according to a cable message received to- night by his father. Col. Theodore Roosevelt. from his daughter-in- law. Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, jr.
 The cablegram was sent from Paris. where Mrs. Roosevelt is in a Red Cross hospital. It read:
 Ted wounded. Not seriously. Here with me. Not any danger. No cause for anxiety"
 Major Roosevelt was cited for gallantry after having been gassed about three weeks ago.
 The news of Major ROOsevelt's having been wounded followed im- mediately the report from Paris that German aviators had dropped a note behind the allied lines con- ferring fears of the death of Lieut.. Quentin Roosevelt in an aerial en- gagement Captain Archie ROose- welt is recovering from wounds.

WILSON SENDS coNpoLENcE

WASHINGTON. July 20.-Upon learning today that German aviators had confirmed the death of Lieut. Quentin Roosevelt, President Wilson sent this message to Colonel Roosevelt at Oyster Bay;
 Am greatly distressed that the news of your sons death is confirmed l had hoped for other news. He died serving his country and died with fine gallantry. I am deeply grieved that his service should have come to this tragic end"
 No official information that Lieuten- ant Roosevelt has been killed has been received at the war department. The only announcement from General Pershing was the listing of the lieuten- ant in today's casualty list as miss ing.
 On receiving confirmation of Quen- tins death, Colonel and Mrs. Roose- welt announced that they would re- ceive no visitors. The colonel made an exception in the case of the Jap anese Red Cross commissioners. The colonel sent the following reply to the White House:
 Thank you for your courtesy and kindness in telegraphing me, and 1 deeply appreciate your expression of sympathy and of approval of my sons conduct"

oEEIcIAL wREcK sIoRY

WASHINGTON, July 20.-The loss of life in the sinking off Fire Island, N. Y.. yesterday of the United States armored cruiser San Diego and the cause of the ships destruction still were undetermined tonight at the navy department Announcement was made that 11S3 from the ship had been landed Unofficial reports said there were 1255 men aboard and if they are correct the loss of life would not eX- .ceed seventyt-twc. The names of three of these missing were announced to- day
 Rear Admiral Palmer, acting secre- tary of the navy, tonight made pub lie a detailed account of the destruc- tion and rescue. but it added nothing to previous reports from Capt. Ii. H. Christy and other survivors as to the cause of the sinking.
 Belief that the San Diego was a victim of a mine grew among naval officials after the commander of the American patrol boats operating off Fire Island reported his craft picked up several mines of freign design.
 Among the survivors opinion seemed to be equally divided as to whether a submarine or a mine was respOnsi- ble for the less of the cruiser. Many held that an enemy torpedo struck the warship, while as many subscribed to tho theory that the vessel hit a mine. No reference to the cause of the explo- sion which was heard aboard the cruiser was contained in the account of the sinking made public tonight by Admiral Palmer. The statement follows:
 Fuller particulars received regard ing the sinking of the U. s. s. San Diego show the explosion took place on the port side just aft of the fore ward port engine from bulkhead. The feed tank and circulating pump were blown in, and the port engine wrecked. Full speed ahead was Tung and the starboard engine operated until it was stopped by water rising in the engine room.
 "Machinist's Mate Hawthorne was at the throttle in the port engine room, was blown four feet under the engine room desk. He got up, closed the throttle on the engine, which had already stopped and then escaped up the engine room ladder Lieutenant Millen, on watch in the starboard en-
