Herete- In Death Is Life's Glory New York, Sept, 1G, Colonel Roosevelt's article in the Metropolitan Magazine for October, which va3 published today, is entitled "The Great Adventure," an 3, although no name is mentioned, it is apparent that the basis for it was the supreme sacrifice of Lieut.

Quentin Roosevelt. "Only those are fit to live," writes Colonel Roosovclt, "who do not fear to die; and none are fi to die who have shrunk from the joy of life and the dutyof life. Doth life and death are pai ts of the same great adventure. Never yet- was worthy adventure worthily carried through by the man who put his personal 8'ifety first. Never yet was a country worth living in unless its sons and dauhgters were of that stern stuff which bade them die for it at need; and never yet was a country worth dying for n.ileps it? sons and daughters thought of life, not as something concerned on with the selfish evanescence of the individual, but as a link in the great chain of creation and causation, so that each person is seen in his true relations, as an essential part of the whole, whose life must be made to serve the larger and conlinueing life of the whole.

Therefore ihe men wl are not willing to die in a war for a great cause are not worthy to live. Therefore it is that man and woman who in peace time fear or ignore the primary End vital duties and the highest happiniss of family life, who dare not beget and bear and rear ht life that is to last when they they are in theit graves, have broken the chain of creation and have shown that they are unfit for companionship with the sou's ready for the great adventure. The wife of a fighting soldier at the front recently wrote as follows to the mother of a gallant boy, who at the front had fought in high air like an eagle, fighting, had died: 1 "I write these ftw lines -not of condolence, for who would dare to pity you? but of deepest sympathy toyou and yours as you stand in the shadow which is the early side of those clouds of glory in which your son's life has just rsed. Many will envy you that when the rail to sacrifice came you were not fonnd among to whom no gift of life worth offering had been entrusted. They are thaoncs be pitied, not- we whose dearest are jeopardizing their lives unto the death in the high places of the field.
