These policemen are separate from the various home defense or ganizations.

Y., to attend the Republican state convention to day. received a cablegram from Gen eral Pershing in which the American commander expressed the hope that Lieutenant Quentin Roosevelt, the colonel's son, reposed killed in an atrial battle in France, may have lar.ded safely. Text of Cablegram The cablegram read: "Regret very much that your son, Lieutenant Quentin Roosevelt, re ported as missing. On July 14, with a patrol of twelve planes, he left on a mission of protecting photo graphic section. Seven enemy planes were sighted and attacked after which enemy planes returned and our planes broke oft combat re turning to their base. Lieutenant 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 descending. Will Advise Immediately "I hope he may have landed safe ly. Will advise you immediately on receipt of further information." Colonel Roosevelt, in reply, cabled: "We are deeply grateful for your thoughtful kindness and we never will forget it." Colonel Roosevelt's attitude seem ed more hopeful than upon receipt last night of word sent from Paris by Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., stating reports of Quentin's death were "absolutely unconfirmed" there. Dispatches from Oyster Bay state that Colonel and Mrs. Roosevelt had been prepared to some extent for the news of the death of their youngest son because of a press cable mes sage, which was received Tuesday night, as follows: "Watch Sagamore Hill in event of [deleted by censor]." This was referred to Colonel Roosevelt, to learn if he had any message which would give a meaning to the dispatch. The colonel studied it at his home after 11 o'clock on Tuesday night and came to the con clusion that it meant that something had happened to either Major Theo dore Roosevelt, Jr., or Lieutenant Quentin Roosevelt, probably the lat ter. The message seemed most prob ably to refer to either of these two, because they were the only sons of the ex-President engaged in the fighting at present. Aside from the hint in the dis patch, both Colonel and Mrs. Roose velt were prepared for tragic news and steeled to 'bear it. With four of their sons in the battle and two wounded, they realized fully that the chances were very strongly against all four surviving. They felt that any day might bring them such news. Colonel Roosevelt learned of his son's death yesterday morning at 11 o'clock when a correspondent called ! at his home at Oyster Bay with dis patches. He was outwardly calm when he heard the news, and he read the dispatches carefully. Then he left the room to break the news to Mrs. Roosevelt. Proud of Sacrifice Colonel Roosevelt and Mrs. Roose velt motored to New York in the aft ernoon and went to the Hotel Lang don, where friends called on them. Representatives of the family let It be known that the colonel would have nothing to say In addition to his brief statement, and that the Roose velts desirpd privacy during their stay in this city. In messages of sympathy to the parents of men who have been killed in battle, Colonel Roosevelt has ex pressed the same spirit which ap pears in his statement yesterday, that pride in their sacrifice should be their dominating thought. Whilo he allowed no expression of grief to escape him on receiving the news yesterday, his affection for his sons has been one of chief interest in his life, and he forcibly expressed him self on the subject last November at a meeting at Madison Square Gar den, where he was campaigning for Mayor Mitchel. A man in the audi ence shouted at the colonel to ask him why he was not in France Col onel Roosevelt replied: "I asked not ohly to go over there, but I came with 100,000 more men in my hands to help. But I will tell you. you man over there, that I have sent my four sons. I have sent over my four boys, for each of whose lives I care a thousand times more than I care for my own, if you can under stand that, you creature over there." Colonel Roosevelt's _ decision to speak at Saratoga Springs to-day was not a surprise to those familiar with his views on the manner in which parents should regard the loss of the lives of their children in war. Downed a German Piano Lieutenant Quentin Roosevelt be gan active service as an American aviator in France this spring. Only July 3 he took part in an aerial bat tle between American and German machines in the Marne region. Only July 10 he brought down his first German airplane in a fight north of Chateau Thierry. Quentin Roosevelt, who was 21 years old, was in his sophomore year at- Harvard when this country de clared war. When it was still in de bate whether this country would send expeditionary forces to Europe he went to Canada and enlisted in the Canadian Aviation Corps for instruc tion. When it was decided to send troops to Kurope he was transferred to the United States Signal Corps as a private. Lawrence F. Abbott, a bio grapher of Colonel Roosevelt and a close friend of the family, gave this account of the attitude of Colonel and Mrs. Roosevelt toward the en listment of their youngest son, in Munsey's Magazine: "During a recent visit at Saga more Hill 1 asked QuenUn's father and mother if they did not feel it tc be a special hardship in his case that at so early an age he should have to give up his education and many of his associations at Harvard, if the war leaves him unscathed. They both replied that they were particularly glad that on his own initiative he had taken exactly the course which has put him in one of the most exacting and dangerous branches of the service." Other Boys Wounded Quentin Roosevelt was a graduate of the Groton School, standing sec ond in the .class, and entered Har vard in 1916, where he was known as a lively and highly popular stu dent. His death is the third casualty in the Roosevelt family. Captain Archi batd. Roosevelt was wounded on March 11, his left arm being broken ill two places and his right leg and knee-cap penetrated by shrapnel. The French War Cross was pre sented to him and Colonel Roosevelt sent him a telegram in which he said: "Your cross is the greatest pos session tha family has." Theodore Roosevelt Jr., the eldest son, was the next to be hurt. He had attended the first Plattsburg Camp and went to France in June, 1917, as a member of the staff of General Pershing. He was gassed about three weeks ago and cited for bravery in remaining with his bat- HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH talion all through its advance in spite of his condition. Kermit Roosevelt was attending the Officers' Training Camp at Plattsburg in July, 1917, when he accepted a commission in the Brit ish army and went to Mesopotamia. Last month he was decorated with the British Military Cross for gal lantry in two engagements, in which he was a captain of sappers. Several weeks ago he left the British army to take his place with the Americans in France. Ills Boyhood li Washington When Quentin Roosevelt left for service ,as an aviator with the American overseas forces his friends in Washington and those who had known him at Oyster Bay said "Good-bye" with the conviction that he would never return. It was not that they thought the youngest son of the ex-president would be foolhardy; it was their conviction that he would get to the forefront of the fighting just as quickly as his father had tried to go there and that he would give everything tlny;e was in him to accomplish something that would be worth while -in defeating the Kaiser. When word was received here a few days ago that young Roosevelt had down his first German plane nnd was already in the thick of the fight, every one who has known him said, "I told you so. He could not do otherwise." He showed great love for ani mal life, and there were many stories told about him. A pony had been given by Cor nelius N. Bliss, then Secretary of the Interior, to Quentin's older brother, Archibald B. Roosevelt, now a captain in the American overseas forces. At one time, when Archie' was ill with diphtheria, Quentin became obsessed by the be lief that his brother's recovery de pended upon his seeing the pony. He managed to get the animal into the private elevator of the White House and took him in the to the bedroom on the upper floor. There has always been a suspicion that Colonel Roosevelt was a party to the prank. That was but one incident. Birds and beasts and even reptiles were included in the small menagerie which he collected, and to whTch many friends, who learned that Colonel Roosevelt encouraged the boy's study of nature at first-hand, contributed. A story was told today by a friend of the family about an occasion when Quentin was found on his way to the White House on a street car with a hive of bees, an event which caused every one on the car but the boy no end of worry. On another occasion, dressed in Indian garb, with turkey feathers trailing down his back, Quentin or ganised a band of Indians among the youngsters of the neighborhood, and directed desperate tribal battles un der the ancient elms of the White House grounds. Colonel Roosevelt has Always been a "chum" to his boys. He brought them up in a modest way on a diet of play and work, shared v.'ith them their joys and sorrows, and was never so proud as when they achieved success.
