THE MOTHER OF FIVE SOLDIERS

Unsung and unheralded, a mother watching, waiting and praying for their safe return to the home they left at 298$Park street, this city. That mother is Mrs. Louis Logan. Tn an- other column is to be found her re- markable story, the story of her sac- riflce, her love and her patriotism. A native of France, she was doubly glad to give her boys to the service ln the hope that while serving their native land, they might avenge in measure the wrongs committed against hers.
 If anyone would see for himself 8 spectacle which constitutes an un- parallsled example of pure, whole hearted love of country, let him pay visit to the Logan homestead, and he will come away a better American for having been there.
 Picture a mother with seven sons, Tive of them tn the United States Army. and two others employed in making munitions for their own brothers: try to imagine, if you can, the spirit of fortttude with which Mrs I.oean's heart must be steeled In order to keep back the tears when sbe sits down to the table around which are seven vacant chairs. Her onlv solace is her mate whose eyes are steeped forever in darkness. and wei SD indomitable is her courage, so deAn-rooted her patriotism, that she never complains, never regrets that she let her boys join the colors' Far from it. She asserts proudly that she did not raise her boys to be slackers, and the thought that they are light ing to restore the land of her birth to It's former state enhances the JOY which she experienced on giving her offspring to the land of her adop- ton. And she is willing, if needs be-
 that her other two sons, who are
 above the present draft age, should

ABOUT NURSES RESERVE.
Local Girl Complains of Treatment at
 Library When Filing Application to Enter Training school.

to Enter Training School.
 To the Editor:
 If you can spare me space in your valuable paper, kindly print the fol- lowing:
 A girl went down to the Public In stitute to enrol in the Nurses Reserve on July 29th, and on account of a delay in application blanks from the government was requested to call again.
 The girl had no diploma from the grammar school, the reason being Ill., ness that forced her to stop school a short while before graduation, but she had a card that showed her stand ing in school. The same girl attend ed a local business school, and was told by the lady in attendance at the Public Institute that her education was equivalent to two years in high school, and there was no reason why she could not enrol if she cared to.
 Saturday of the same week the girl called at the institute for application blanks and the party in attendance asked her what education she had had. Upon gaining the knowledge, she ln- formed the girl that her education was not what was required in order to enrol, but after making the girl feel that it was a crime not to be high school graduate, she gave her an ap- plication blank to fill out requesting that it be returned to the Institute to be looked over. But the girl felt so bad after the treatment afforded her on her visit that Saturday afternoon that she never filled out the applica- tion It was not on account of an easy berth to lie In or a large compensa- tion offered by the government that made the girl wish to enrol. The girl has education enough to enter into several civilian hospitals should she care to, and is drawing a larger sal rv a week than the government is offering 8 month. Her motive was just merely a patriotic one. There probably would have been more can didates if girls that were not high school graduates had not been made to feel that they had committed a terrible crime in leaving school before graduating from high.

Germans in Old Trenches.

On The French Front in France Aug. 12. (Midnight) (Reuters )-A momentary point of stabilization was reached Monday and the French now are at grips with the Germans on the ground they entrenched and held from the autumn of 1916 until March 1917. The German trenches are still deep enough to afford the enemy the best opportunity he has had of cling ing to the ground from which he is to be evicted since he left his line in the valley of the Avre.
 It is necessary for the French to bring up their guns before the attack can be resumed The enemy is also busy putting the moss-covered trenches into battle condition so as to enabl him to attack for the nom ent. Consequently there has been a, pause in the struggle throughout today.
 The Germans. however. are showing signs of determination to remain where they are as long as possible or at least until they have had time to withdraw their material from the threatened sector.
 Today the French were in touch with a continuous enemy line and our progress was opposed, not hy the usual fire but by regular barrages, The enemy's line of resistance, there fore. apparently has been reached Nevertheless the French continued to advance at various points in the line and both bastions of NOn Hutier's front-at Rove and at the massif of Lassigny-now are insecure.
