lea is a belligerent we all want 20
fight under our own flag"
The fifth citation of the foreign
legion was in recompense for glor-
ious fighting in the vicinity OF Nor
onvilliers. No other single French
regiment can approach the distinc-
ton OF having five times been men
toned" in the orders Of the day.
Since April II this unit has achiev-
ed the bulk of the gains registered
by the French between No Name
Mount and MISUNDERSTANDING the
capture of the latter town. The legion
has participated in every offensive
move OF any importance which the
French army has undertaken
The legion fought continuously for
six days and six nights recently
hurting fifty thousand hand grenades
alone They finally achieved their
objective and it is history that this
position, once attained, most OF the
legion fell asleep standing up, being
so exhausted by their efforts.
In the same glorious record Of the
legion is the story of how in one
fight recently along the Scissors
Auberive front, a battalion OF terri
torials composed of aged men en-
ployed in bringing up hand granades
grew so enthused over the way the
legionaires fought, they got into the
fray themselves
One OF the legion's heroes Is a
seventeen year old boy. Armed with
a portable machine gun recently, he
killed six Germans before receiving
a severe wound But he refused to
retire until he had killed his sew
enth-and he got him.

duced to 5000. He also informed the
board that while the county paid $3.50
for its patients, private accommoda-
lions could be obtained for 81, q day,
and that the county patients should
receive the same care. 2 ''The Leahi
should give us q detailed statement Of

tigation should be appointed to look
into the matter" he said.
Larsen then brought up the fact the
county ward Is filled after the terri
torial ward Is full and asked why the

ored an investigation. ,-...-... &
Replying, Arnold said, ''It makes no

Before any action was taken. how

said Promotion pays. We do not
spend enough money. Where we
spend $1,000 mainland cities are

the $3.50 you will be doing us a great
injury. All the people that have come

out that It was, the work Of the Pro-
motion Committee. which brought the
Great Northern here and this was
corroborated later In the evening by

The resolution of Ben Hollinger ap-
propriating $500 out of the perma-

at Kapiolani park was defeated at its
second reading Friday evening, and
was left on the table to be taken up
