GEN. GAURAUD URGES
men ON TO VICTORY
Addresses American and
French Troops on Eve of
Great Battle.

On the French Front in France.
July II. (By the Associated Press. }
In stirring phrases, imploring them
to stand firm, Gen. Fl. J. E. Gauraud,
in command of the French and Amer
lean troops east of Rheims and in
Champagne, appealed to his men be-
fore the German offensive began. In
an order issued to his soldiers, he
said:
I'VE may be attacked at any mo-
ment You all feel that defensive
battle never has been engaged in un-
der more favorable conditions. You
were warned and are on guard with
powerful reinforcements &of infantry
and artillery. You willSffght on the
ground you have transformed by your
hand work into redoubtable fortresses
which are invincible if the passages
are properly guarded.
The bOmbardment will be terrible
but you will stand it without weaken
ing. The assault will be violent, in
position and armament are Formidable
I'm your breasts beat free men s
brave, strong hearts. Nobody will
look behind nor recede a pace. Each
of you will have one thought-to
kill, and kill many, until they cry
enough.
For this reason your general says
you will break this assault, and it
will be broken gloriously."

7. R. HOPEFUL that
SON MAY Be Alive
Death Unconfirmed by Army
Officials-Pershing Cables
Sympathy to Family.

New York, July 1S-Col. Theodore
Roosevelt, just before leaving the city
for Saratoga, n. Y, to attend the re-
publican state convention, today re
ceived cablegram from Gen. PERISH
ing in which the American COM
mander expressed the hope that Lieut.
Quentin Roosevelt the coloners son,
reported killed in an aerial battle in
France, may have landed safely.
The cablegram read:
Regret very much that your son,
Lieut.. Quentin Roosevelt is reported
as missing. On July IA, with a patrol
of twelve planes, he leftfon a mission
of protecting a Photographic section.
Seven enemy planes were sighted and
attacked after which enemy planes
returned and our planes broke off
combat returning to their base. Lieut..
Roosevelt did not return. A member
of the squadron reports seeing one Of
our planes fall out of the combat and
into the clouds and the French report
an American plane was seen descend
ing.
"I hope he may have landed safely.
Will advise you Immediately on re-
ceipt of furthers information.'
Col. Roosevelt, insreply, cabled:
I'VE are deeply grateful for your
thoughtful kindness and we. never will
forget it."
Col Roosevelt's attitude seemed
more hopeful than upon receipt last
night of word sent from Paris by Mrs.
Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., stating re-
ports of Quentin's death were "abso-
lutely unconfirmed" there.

July II (By the Associated Press) -
German troops in some portions of
the trenches in Flanders have been so
exhausted and demoralized by con-
stant British raid attacks and bonn
bardments that many of them have
fallen asleep at their posts.
An order issued to a Bavarian in
fantry regiment reveals condition of
affairs which up to this time would
have been thought unbelievable in an
army notorious for the strictness Of
it's discipline. The commanding off,
Ger wrote on June rs:
"While making a tour of the line
this morning l came across complete
sections fast asleep in spite of it be-
ing dawn and misty. The sections
had removed their equipment and had
not the faintest idea Of the country
of dispositions, of their orders or of
the troops on their f1anks."
Much activity continues behind the
German front, but the infantry has
remained very quiet since the begin
ming of the present German offensive
around Rheims.
No Counter-Attaclts Attempted.
NO attempt has been made to re-
cover the ground lost at Ridge Wood

341 men and seven officers. The Ger
