New York, March 13.-~Arehibald
3. Roosevelt, son of cok Theodore
Roosevelt, has been wouadsa in ao-
ton with the American forces In
France. A cablegram was received
today at the ooIoneI's office here.
Young Roosevelt is a captain.
The message came from Theodore
Roosevelt, Jr., a major with the
American expeditionary troops. II
reads:
"Archie wounded by shrapnel
slightly in log. Arm broken, but not
badly. No danger. Ted"
PROUD OF HIS BOYS.
al am as proud OF my four boys
as. can be-" Col. Roosevelt said,
when informed by his secretary,
Miss Josephine stryker, over the
telephone at his home in Oyster
Bay, where the former president is
recuperating from his recent illness.
"As long as Archie was not killed,
everything is all right"
Earlier in the day the colonel had
received unofficial information that
a French general had decorated
"Archie" with the cross Of war for
sslIantry in action. With details
lacking as to how Archie" received
his wounds. the colonel said he as
sociated the receipt Of the cross
with this exploit.
"ARcHIE" LED RAID.
Before Mai. Roosevelt's cable.
gram regarding his brother was
received it had been assumed that
the cross was conferred upon
perienee he had earlier in the war.
Regarding this earlier experience
the colonel took few newspaper
men into his confidence some
months ago. The colonel said then
that he had received word that
Archie" had led a raidinq party
out into No Mans Land al night
and that he was under FIRE. Al the
time the colonel was talking an.
had been made that
Archie" had been jumped from
second lieutenant TO captain, and
the colonel assumed that Il was for
that action.
A few weeks ago the former
president sent = esbIegrsm to his
ION informing him that a baby,
named Archibald q. Roosevelt, Jr.,
rad been born to the captains wife,
Who was Miss Mary S. Lockwood,
