Rooseuelt's Sons

With the outbreak OF the war be-
tween America and Germany, Colonel
Roosevelt's four sons showed that
they were true sons of their father.
Denied the privilege of fighting for
his flag, Roosevelt's interest was CEN
tered in the achievements of his sons.
His youngest son, Quentin, who was
in the American air service, was killed
in fight with a German ace, and was
buried in France.
The eldest son, Major Theodore
Roosevelt, was wounded in action in
France, and was invalded home.
Archibald is a captain in the American
army Kermit entered the British
service and fought with the Anglo
Indian forces, as the leader of troop

is considered typically American In

U. S. ATTITUDE
TOWARD ADRIATIC
TREATY UNKNOWN
Frontier Designated by Arm
istice Does Not Express U.
S. Viewpoint on Treaty.
(By Associated P-essl

PARIS, Jan. 6.-The attitude of the
United States toward the treaty be
tween Italy and France, Great Britain
and Russia, relative to the eastern
coast of the Adriatic, has now been
clearly defined as far as known. When
it came up recently, in the course OF
peace preliminaries, however, the Unit
ed States did not indicate how it
would stand when the treaty entered
into consideration. The first time was
when the inter-allieG conference fran
ed the terms for the armistice between
Italy and Austria. In stating the line
TO which the Austrian troops must re-
tire, the armistice outlined the frontier
as it is defined in the treaty. This
was accepted by the inter-allied con
ference, but it is said that Colonel
+. NJ. House, the American representa-
tive. stated that the designation of the
frontier as it stood in the treaty be
tween the four nations was not to be
taken as expressing any position by
the United States on that treaty.
Terms Made Known.
The same situation was again pre-.
sented when American warships par
ticipated in carrying out OF the naval
clauses Of the armistice with Austria.
The occupation OF ports was made
largely under the supervision of the
Italian navy. which had a large mum
Der of warships along the eastern
coast of the Adriatic. The Jugo- Slav
element there manifested some opposi-
ton, but owing to the delicacy OF III
issues involved the question OF Amer
icas attitude. one way Or the other.
was deferred.
Article II of the treaty provides that
It shall be kept secret but the terms
have become known and are occupy
ing much attention in conference
circles.
Article provides that the future
treaty OF peace will give TO Italy the
Trentino. the whole Of southern Tyroi.
the cities OF Trieste. Gorilla and Grad
isca. the province of lstria. and the
lstrian islands.
Article gives Dalnlatia and the
Dalmatian Islands to Italy. Other ar
tic'es deal with Albania and zones In

broken up.
