Chum Of Roosevelt
Saw His Death
E. H. Prio, of the Champ neigh
borhood, southwest or Mexico, has
brother. Carl Perisho, at the bat
tle front in France and It seems
that he was in the same squadron
1th Quentin Roosevelt; when the
latter came to hie death. A Parle,
Illinois, newspaper refers fro Perish
o's Intimacy with young Roosevelt
as follows:
Mr. and Mrs. John P. Perisho, of
West Madison street, some days ago
received a letter from their son,
who Is In the aviation service "over
there." Judging from the tone of
the missive Roosevelt ' and , Perisho
were members of the same squad
ron. They had been on air raids
and combats together. It is believ
ed from all the crcumstances that
the last fight mentioned Is the one
where the son of the ex-presldent
lost Jils life.
The story goes, the squadron to
which the two were attached had
been on a raid behind the German
lines. They had accomplshed their
object and were heading for home
Roosevelt circled about his com
rades and headed back into the dan
genous territory. He was never
seen again by his friends.
According to the best informa
tion at hand he body of the fallen
airman was burled near Soissons
This city was then in the hands
of the enemy and regarded as one
of their most Important points
The whlrlagig of war has turned
again and this city with its blood
drenched streets s now in the
hands of the Allies.
As a gentleman remarked Satur
day, it Is a little more than possible
that) If Col. Roosevelt was awaYe
that a chum of his son resided In
Paris and had written concerning
him that he would lose no time In
coming and calling on Mr. and Mrs.
Perisho to hear from their own Hps
the impressions gathered from Wio
letters written by their son.

A council of
on the lines of defense
Our lines of defense embrace rv.uch more than
so many hundred thousands of boys in kh?.!j, armed with the im
plements of war.
They really embrace the whole man power,
woman power and child power of the United States of America.
We must never lose heart or we would lose all.
That is why such stress is laid on the necessity for maintaining the
morale of the people through the mighty struggle.
To do this effectively we must have accurate
and reliable information on every phase of the war. We must often
take inventory of our strength, physical and spiritual. We must
snatch up every legitimate diversion that will rest our nerves and
build our natures into stronger. producing plants.
That is the Mission of Chautauqua
It deals intelligently with the war at the front, the work of the Red
Cross, food conservation and the lines of defense at home.
It also brings a gracious abundance of heart-ease and inspiration in
veiTtSne P entertainment, chosen to supply the needs of this
5S?riS!T WILSONecognizes this fact and urges the fullest use
of the Chautauqua as "an integral part of the national defense."

Mr. and Mrs. Frank Harris, as fol
lows:
In Active Service With the Amer
lean Expediionary Forces, June 30,
1918.
Dear Dad and Mam:
I am here again with a Bhort let
ter, to tell you what little news I
know. I am In P. W. E. Co. No. 2.
I am also allowed to tell you where
I am. I am at St. Mayaie. It is
quite a nice city. I hope my mail
will catch me at last. 1 have not
heard from home since May 18th.
I hope one and all are well and en-
Joying yourselves In every way. My
health Is about the same, but think
I will be better eoon. I hope you
' will have a pleasant Fourth of Ju
ly. America realizes as never be
fore In the memory of her citizens
what is the meaning of the wonder
ful principles the great national
holiday perpetuates. May; we by
Ood's help resolve on the 142nd an
niversary of our national independ
ence to overthrow autocracy and
oppression once and forever.
I was sent to the hospital May 21,
but have sufficiently recovered to be
on duty again. Dont vyou worry
about me. I hare been a wax from
home 14 ")onths, and I find the
longer I bio the better I love
home. I thinkmost of the boys will
love the old. borne place and be bet
ter satisfied when they get back
We are well treated, every thing
considered, .but there's no place
like home. To appreciate that re
nowned song and words, "Home,
Sweet Home," just hear it over
here In France. You can feel your
heir raise your hat, and If you
haven't got your hat on It will stand
on end.
Congratulations on this your

""'"s anniversary from one
who loves you and wishes you many
more of thews happy events. I
wish I could ; be with you to' enjoy
the day, but I can't he v
V Will
hope to be together before this time
next year.
I have had a-, most wonderful trip
today. The Y. M. C. A. guide took
us through an old Chateau, one of
the oldest In France. It was built In
sections by several different rulers,
so one sees the several styles of
architecture in vogue during differ
ent periods of French history. You
will see the crude, rough earlier
style, the ornate, flowery style of
the renaissance, the stern beauty
of the Doric school of a later period.
As we walked thru the beautiful
and wonderfully preserved bed
chamber, audience halls, guard
rooms of the old kings, it seemed
