We greatly regret to record the death of Flight-Lieutenant Quentin

Roosevelt, Mr. Roosevelt's youngest son, who has been killed in an air-fight. The• addition of such a famous name to the list of those who have gladly offered up their lives is of very special significance. All the English-speaking races mourn the death of this young soldier. But if we do not entirely misread Mr. Roosevelt's character, they must be sharing with him at this moment a great pride as well as a deep sorrow.
