GRIEF FOR SON
BARS POLITICS,
SAYS ROOSEVELT
Former President, Returning
to Oyster Bay, Refuses to
Talk on State Fight
By Associated Press
Oyster Bay, N. Y., July 20.—Col
onel Theodore Roosevelt, upon his
arrival here last night, refused to
discuss the Republican situation in
New York state.
"My mind is not on politics at this
time," he said. "You can understand
what my thoughts are on." In this
he referred to his son. Lieutenant
Quentin Roosevelt, who fell behind
the German lines in France after an
aerial light last Sunday.
Among the messages which await
ed his arrival was one from his
daughter-in-law, Mrs. Theodore
Roosevelt. Jr., in Paris. It said:
"Quentln's plane seemed to dive
eight hundred meters. Not In Ramos.
Seen to sfrike ground. Could have
been under control as did not spin.
Chance exists he is a prisoner."
"we have received many hundreds
of kind and friendly telegrams and
letters," said Colonel Roosevelt.
"They will all be acknowledged In
time and I ask the forebearance of
the senders because it will neces
sarily take some little time."
Just l>efore Theodore Roosevelt's
sons and his son-in-law left for the
front, there was a last family gath
ering at Sagamore Hill, which has
been recalled by the probable death
of his youngest son, Quentin, who
was seen to fall from his airplane a
few days ago within the enemy
lines. The whole family was at the
farewell party, two of the boys with
wives who were little more than
brides. Oppressed with the knowl
edge that, tn all human probability,
it was the last time the circle would
bo unbroken, the colonel tried to in
still a little gentle warning into the
general gayety and high spirits.
"It wasn't, X found, that they
didn't realize it," the colonel ex
plainetf afterward to Intimates.
"Things they said and looks they ex
changed showed me quickly enough
that they didn't expect ever to be
there like that again; but it was just
that they had counted the cost and
stood ready to pay it, and, having
once counted it, they put the thought
away from them so resolutely that
for a while I'd thought they didn't
understand the gravity of the thing
they were doing. And those young
wives were as game as the boys, and
as full of fun and confidence. There
wasn't any use trying to slip a warn
ing into that last gathering; every
one of them seemed to have de
termined that the memory of that
night was to be about the brightest
memory in their lives."
Three of the young wives, Mrs.
Denby (Ethel Roosevelt), Mrs. Theo
dore Roosevelt, Jr., and Mrs. Archie
Roosevelt have had babies since the
husband* went to the front.
Hundreds of telegrams and cable
grams and letters were delivered to
him during the day. When the
Colonel was asked about them he
said: "We have received many hun
dreds of kind and friendly telegrams
and letters. They will all be ac
knowledged in time, and I ask the
forbearance of the senders because
it will necessarily take some time.
"I do not intend to make any of
them public. Some were from promi
nent people and some from people 1
who were inot prominent. Some
from old friends and some from
strangers. They were not meant for
publication, but to express sympa-,
thy with Quentin's father and moth
er and sorrow for a gallant boy who
had been doing his duty like hun
dreds of thousands young Americans.
"Many of them, indeed, I think,
were really an expression of sympa
thy for the many mothers and fath
ers who have gladly and proudly and
yet with sorrow seen the sons they
love go forth to battle for their coun
try and the right. Many of them
were from fathers and mothers who
had sons at the front, and some of
them from those whose sons had
been killed at the front."
Excerpts From Letters
Colonel Roosevelt at this point
turned to his desk and picked up
several letters. As he glanced
through them, he said: "This is
from a father of two boys fighting
In France, one in the marine corps
and in the Chateau Thierry fight.
He writes. 'We've no knowledge of
what happened to our own in the last
battle.' "
"Another'writes," and the Colonel
turned to the next letter, "'One of
my two sons in service, a naval avia
tor, was killed in February last." An-|
other writes that he is a father of .in
army aviator who fell in action on
March 14 last. The son was twenty
five years old and fell in his second
action.
"And here another writes, 'We lost'
our only son, a lieutenant in the avia
tion service over there."
"Another expresses sympathy and
concludes. 'My eighteen-year-old son
| entered the aviation service on Sat
j urday.'
"And yet another, from a mother
i of three boys, all In serv
' ice, who send their heartfelt sympa
thy and say, 'Our youngest Is an
I aviator eager to take your boy's
place in France.'
"These are only a few among
many telegrams and I know they
show the spirit of our whole peo
ple."

JAPAN ARRIVES
AT DECISION ON
AID FOR SIBERIA
Reply to Communication of
United States Is Expected
Daily at Washington
. /
Washington, July 20. —The reply]
of Japan to the communication ofi
the United States regarding military
action in Siberia is expected daily
in Washington. The Japanese Cabi
net. the foreign advisory council, the
elder statesmen and the Emperor
have considered it and the views of
Japan's military and naval experts
have been obtained.
The communication, it was said,
marks a modification of President I
Wilson's views expressed to Japan
three months ago in response to the
invitation from Japan to discuss the
Russian situation, the United States
at that time being opposed to mili
tary intervention, not so much in
principle, but believing it would be
unwise at that moment.
The new communication, it is un
derstood, is based on the develop
ments occasioned by the remarkable
exploits of the Czecho-Slovak forces
in European and Asiatic Russia, the
dangers confronting those in western
Siberia and European Russia, and
the necessity of sending into Siberia
and possibly to European Russia an
expedition to relieve them.
Japanese Reply Believed Favorable
Neither tlie State Department nor
the Japanese embassy would author
ize any statement upon the subject
of the exchanges taking place be
tween Toltio and Washington. At
the department it was learned the
conversations have not been con
cluded. The Japanese government
has not yet replied to the American
proposal, but reports from Tokio in
dicate the reply will be favorable,
possibly with some modifications, to
President Wilson's proposition.
It was pointed out yesterday that
there is no recognized Siberian gov
ernment, and as the United States
and the Allies have no diplomatic
relations with the Bolshevlki gov
ernment, there is no authority .to
which this country and the Allies
might look to co-operate' with In the*
assistance all are eager to give Rut- *
sla. In this situation, the appear
ance of the Czecho-Slovaks, who
are not only loyal allies but anxious
to renew their fighting against '.he
Central Powers, came to an oppor
tune time to prevent an occasion
for action in Siberia.
Petty Market Thieves Held
to Be Given Court Trial
That the system of petty theft,
which has been imposed upon sellers
of produce in city markets, is to bt>
summarily stopped, was evidenced
yesterday when Espln Shade and
Wade Parley, two small boys, were
arrested on the charges of stealing
butter and eggs at the Broad Street
Market. Information was given by
William Brownaweil, marketmaster of
the Broad Street Markethouse.
At a hearing held this morning at
the office of Alderman Fritz Krammr,
the boys were committed to the
House of Detention to be held until
the September term of court.
