It is a singular coincidence that the Scottish archer, Quentin Dur- ward, of Sir Walter Scott’s romance, sought his fortune in France in the Reign of Louis XI, and that the young Roosevelt who bore his name lost his life in France in an age far more heroic than that in which the most sinister Louis in the list occu- pied the French throne, in a cause far nobler than Quentin Durward ever fought, in a branch of military service infinitely more inspiring to mettlecome youth‘and chivalric cour- ace than archery could haye been when sons of Merrie Engtind drew the cloth yard shaft and bent the good yew bow in war. Our twentieth ‘century American Quentin Durward’s mission in France was more romantic than that of Scott's adventurous Scott. He did not seek his fortune, but went un- selfishly as one among many knights errant of liserty bourd from the greatest republic in the world to de- fend the greatest republic in Europe against the greatest outrage in the! history of-the world. .

Its result is certain and will be glorious. | A young soldier’s greatest misfor-| tune is to fall without having fleshed his sword. Quentin Roosevelt was spared that bitterness.

Eddie was king est r, ° tered,’ of “great heaps of Américan dead,” of local gains in territory won at a tremendous cost in men. These stories have been echoed and varied by pro-Germans in this country, and @ven currency by men and women of loyal hearts but over-credulous minds. There has been other stories tend- ing to discredit the American army command or the war department. 1t has been alleged that the casualty; reports are being deliberately with- held or juggled; because on account of the huge losses the government dare not reveal them. All this. of course, is wicked non- sense. There is no doubt that the casualties have _ been heayy, com- pared with-any we are accustomed +o. We cannot expect to fight great battles, against a powerful foe, and win, without paying the cost. We have taken that for granted, as a general ptoposition. It is necessary only to give it a practical avplica- tion in this case, and not suffer ar vndue shock merely because the drain hos begun a little sooner than we expected. Granting that, we may find cause! for comfort in the actual situation. Measured by military value, hardly nv cost short of the utter annihila- tion of any army could be. too great to pay for such a victory as we have won. Needless to say, there is noth- ing remotely resembling annihila- tion—it is not an army shattered by heavy losses that follows a strong foe < our army hes followed the Hans, beating their best in every clash. There is ncthing whatever to indicate +hat our losses are any more than normal.” There are hints, indeed, that we have had fewer men killed and wounded than is usual in such actions. The majerity of casualties: are “slightly wounded.” Nearly all of them will recover. The Joss in killed, while grevious to relatives and friends of the fallen, will be found very small when spread over our great population. All the casualties, as a matter of course, will be published just as fast as General Pershing can obtain ac- curate reports and transmit them to fiag7Had he been permitted to do sq and to the brothers who are under arms.
