As shown in the figure, for a positive number $k$, the region enclosed by the curve $y = \sqrt { \frac { e ^ { x } } { e ^ { x } + 1 } }$, the $x$-axis, the $y$-axis, and the line $x = k$ is the base of a solid figure. When the cross-section perpendicular to the $x$-axis is always a square and the volume is $\ln 7$, what is the value of $k$? [3 points]\\
(1) $\ln 11$\\
(2) $\ln 13$\\
(3) $\ln 15$\\
(4) $\ln 17$\\
(5) $\ln 19$
