HERO'S MOTHER HEARS
OF HER ROY'S DEATH

"God Help Me to Endure," She
Said, When Told of the

Mrs. Alice Dodd had not. been notified
by the government that her bo /,
James Gresham, twenty-three, was

of Gen. Pershing's troopers,
f- She was bending over a wa sh tub at
'>? her little home, 907 Lemcke avenue.
| v The reporter sent to deliver the mes\
^ sage today tells of the meeting as follows:
1 knew by her smile as 1 entered 1
, would have to tell her the story.
"You're the mother of James Grcsham,
the boy who is fighting in
France?" 1 asked. "Will you give me
one of his photographs."
"Why?" she inquired.
And I told her I wanted to put it in
the paper. 1 requested her picture
too.
She talked about her son as she.
( loitl-nd (lll'MIHl'U ?. "il? '>('

seeking one of his. He hud joined th0
army four years ago, she said. H?
was under age, hut she signed the papers
for him. Yes, she was proud ol
him, of course, but then-?
"It's awfully hard to have him
gone," she said.
"Mrs. Dodd, consider this is a war
for humanity," I said. "Don't you
think any mother ought to be glad U
have her boy fighting for a cause likethat?"
"Yes," she said, and looked up at
me with a bright cy0 and a happy
smile, and then?the light died out of
her eye, and the smile faded.
"Great God," she cried. "It's not
my boy that's dead?"
I think Mrs. Dodd was crazed a
little while. Two daughters tried to
quiet her.
There were just two sentences that
framed themselves out of the bable of
her words. One was:
"God help me to endure," and the
other, "Will they bring his body
home ?"
"He has insurance enough to pay
the expense of shipment," she says.
The last time Mrs. Dodd saw James
was three years ago. Hut he wrote
every week, and oftener.
In her hand she clutched a little
Bilk handkerchief embroidered in gay
colored floss, a souvenir of France,
the last gift James had sent them before
he went into the trenches.
She does not know this is more than
a great personal tragedy to her. She
doesn't realize this event makes his\

t.'o fact her boy's name will go dow.
for generations.
"Yes, he's a hero, and for his sake 1
ought to be brave; but I'm not a her-*,
I'm just a mother."
And I wondered which was the
f ittest hero, James or mother.
