QUENTIN ROOSEVELT’S GRAVE.

On a wooden cross at' the head of a grave at the edge of a wood at Chamery east of Fere-en-Tardenois, is this inscription: “Lieutenant Quentin Roosevelt, buried by the Germans.” German newspapers announced several days ago that Lieutenant Roosevelt, who disappeared during an aerial combat on July 17, had been buried by the Germans at Chamery, but until Wednesday the grave was not discovered. It was found by an American aviator. The inscription is in English. The grave was found by Lieutenant Wentworth, of the aerial squadj ron of which young Roosevelt was a member. ‘ Constant search for the grave had 1 been in progress for several days. It will be marked carefully and will be appropriately honored by American airmen. : ~

duties performed under government direction is unpatriotic and the person who indulges in it is worse than a slacker. A slacker does nothing himself’ while those who criticise try to get others to refuse to do their duty. • That the meeting did great good one striking instance already proved, ft: ore than eighty of the registrants from district No. 2, consisting of Gillam, Barkley and Union township met at Parr Thursday night and were anxious to begin intensive drilling and preparation. Some of these men came entirely across the county, some thirteen or fourteen miles and did it voluntarily and without suggestion as the regular meetinc- is not to be held until next week. If Mr. Bartoo will perform a duty that has been assigned to him, and one he should perform, he may be able to get his vision enlarged more than fifty feet away from the confines of his* narrow print-shop. He was appointed a member of the Jasper county council of defense, but has entirely failed to represent his splendid constituents in this most important service. . Shame on the man who tries to array friend against friend and neighbor against neighbor and may it be said to the credit of the people of Remington and Rensselaer that such appeals fall, on ears too deaf to hear the wail of a knocker with ideas so contracted that they would rattle in the brain cavity of a microbe. ... There should be the feeling of fellowship between the people of Rensselaer and Remington, and in all things worthy of effort there should be most hearty co-operation. It is hoped that the slam Mr. Bartoo has given Rensselaer will not deter our people from co-operation with the people at Remington and coming at this time that it will not keep any one from here from attending the splendid chautauqua, which is soon?, to be held at Fountain Park. The program this year is worthy of the patronage of the people within a very large radius of Remington. It reflects great credit and honor upon the people of that town who are most shamefully misrepresented by Mr. Bartoo when he published such an article as the ' above.
