Verona. n. J.-No one would accuse
Thomas Elston of this place and his
family of eight of being a group of
slackers. The father, who is now an
American citizen, was born in Devon
shire, England, and served six years
in the artillery branch of the British
army. Too old for active service in
the land of his adoption, he has Joined

M family consists of five boys and
three girls. The girls are all married
and rearing families. The boys are
following in the footsteps of their
father. Francis, the eldest son, served
two years with the British army In
South Africa during the Boer war,
served in the Boer war and is now
Engineer corps
William, the third son, was about to
enlist at the beginning of h war,
but was prevented from doing so by n
broken leg. The father has not heard
from him for months and believes he
is now at the front with the British
forces. The fourth son, George, en-
listed in the aerial corps and is now
at the western front in France
Gilbert is the only son whose home
is with his father here. When troops
were ordered to the Mexican border
he enlisted in Company X, Fifth New
Jersey infantry, and served until mus
tered out. Upon the recent call of
the president he again responded and
is now with Company X in New Jer-
sey.
