LITTLE BOY DROWNED

ROOSEVELT’S SON KILLED-IN BATTLE

London, July 17.—Lieutenant Quentin Roosevelt, -son 'of former President Roosevelt, was shot down and killed on the Chateau Thierry sector of the Marne front on Sunday, according to an exchange telegraph dispatch from Paris today. According to the dispatch Philip Roosevelt, from his station in the trenches, saw the young American aviator fall victim to a German air squadron. Quentin Roosevelt was the youngest son of the former president and shot down his first German airplane in a fight north of Chateau Thierry one week ago today. That was his third fight over_the fighting front. He received his commission as lieutenant in the aviation service on July 14, 1917, after being graduated from the Mineolp training school.

WAR HINTS-HELPS-DUTIES

COMPLIED AND CONDENSED FOR THE STATE COUNCIL OF DEFENSE BY GEORGE ADE. We are learning things every.day, thanks to war instructors. For instance, don’t wash eggs if you expect to keep them for a while. The shell of an egg, is coated with a gelatinous substance which prevents air and germs from entering. Washing removes this substance. The dirty egg is probably in better condition, as regards the department of the interior, than one that has been scrubbed up.

Boiled-down information concerning price of wheat: The regulations of last year are no longer in effect. The minimum price of No. 1 wheat delivered at elevator in Chicago is $2.26. For No. 2 wheat a discount of 3 cents is fixed and for No. 3, the discount is 7 cents from No. 1. The food administrator has fixed no definite price which dealers shall pay and farmers must accept. No one has authority to fix prices. Owners of wheat can sell to anyone and ship to any point without the consent of the government. Grain dealers must buy on government grades. Wheat with a high percentage of moisture will not grade and will sell at, heavy discount. The farmer should not thresh his wheat wet. No profiteering will be permitted in handling of crops. The expenses of handling grain have been increased and the dealer’s margin of profit will have to be greater. The food administrator has indicated that five or seven cents margin for handling wheat will not be regarded as profiteering. The dealer who demands a ten-cent margin may have his license called in. Is this clear? O“~O Indiana has more doctors in proportion to the population than any other state in the union. The government has been calling a certain percentage of all the doctors for army service. That is why Indiana’s kuota was very large and why the total of enlistments has not put us very high on the list. The facts seem to be that more doctors will have to pack up and go and many stay-at-homes will have to dispense with the luxury of illiness.

The Indiana State Council of Defense wishes to announce in a loud voice that it has NOT made any change of policy, relative to road construction or other public improvements. The only work that counts now is work that will help us to win the war.- Our country is making a superhuman effort to move vast armies and their equipments, to handle a grain crop of overwhelming bulk and to ward off a coal famine. There is a shortage of locomotives and cars and terminal conveniences. With the fate of the world depending Upon the speed of our war preparations and the effectiveness of our transportation, are we to undertake the hauling of stone and brick and lumber and sand and cement and steel, etc., etc., so that some man may have .-a nice new automobile roadway in front of his house _ or another may live in more pretentious style next winter? Men, money and material must be used 'to help win the wart* Construction jobs of all kinds must be postponed unless they ' will put us in the way of striking a harder blow at Germany. Highway projects.must'be deferred even if the contracts were let before the war •and the bonds have been sold and the work started. Necessity knows «o favorities. If you have elaborate plans that happen to conflict with the war program, forget them. “Business as usual” is buried ten feet deep. We have .only one job ahead of us now and that is to wipe up the “ earth with every ChildKiller who has a head shaped like,<K croquet ball.

WAR SUMMARY.

The third day of the German fifth offensive finds the “Freidenstrum” (storm of peace), as the Kaiser’s soldiers call it, still raging in vain along the major part of the 65-mile line from Vaux to the Argonne. Unofficial dispatches from the front says that the Germans have succeeded at heavy cost in forcing a new passage of the Marne east of Chateau Thierry and that they now control twelve . mile of the southern bank of the stream. This is indirectly confirmed by the French official statement which says that “the battle was particularly desperate on the south bank of the Marne.” It is officially announced that the French and their allies hold firmly the heights dominating the southern bank of the stream. The French and American troops, meanwhile, are striving to the utmost to cut into the German gains. Already four towns have been recaptured and the number of prisoners taken by the French and Americans probably has reached the 3,000 mark. Capture of 13,000 prisoners is claimed by Berlin. The Germans who have forced their way across the blood crimsoned stream still are in grave peril and the Marne may yet prove a second Piave for the Kaiser. Five of the bridges the Germans had thrown across the river were destr oyedby the allies while troops were passing over them. Storms are continuing which may cause a sudden rise in the stream and cut off large bodies of Germans. Around Rheims and to the east the allied line is holding satisfactory. The German advance- has been only slight and nowhere perilous.
