Boys Get Lecture When
Before Juvenile Court

Three boys, aged y, l5 and II
years, respectively, were given a
hearing in the county court yester-
day, Judge Thomas w. Champion
sitting as Judge Of the juvenile court,
They were charged directly with an
moving several little girls and using
bad language. The boys took the
stand and told all they did, denying
nothing. They admitted that they
had been playing "hookcy' and
went to Mill Creek and stayed three
days without the consent of their
parents or teachers. They attend
school in the Second Ward and are
sons of well known families. They
told OF gathering junk and selling
it to dealer in Caddo street, thus
securing money to go to Mill Creek,
and that they borrowed money to
pay their way back. Judge Cham
pion released them, but not until he
had given them a lecture and made
them promise him they would not
play hockey" nor pick up junk.
They admitted they were much
ashamed over the manner in which
they had acted toward the little
girls and promised not to repeat it.
The Judge told them that he would
not dismiss the case, but he would
let them 80 and rely on their prom
ise to be good boys. A large num-

GERS here discussed Field Marshal
IHaig's call to his forces to fight to

The meaning and purpose of the

Some officers hailed it as forecast

disquieted. Officers who have fol-
lowed the progress of the fight
from hour to hour in press bulletins,
however, were very optimistic. They
saw no reason to doubt that reserves
in sufficient numbers to warrant a

Is German in IeonardY.

In the view of some officers, the
German front as it now stands
places the Germans in jeopardy in
two places, The wide salient driv-
Ell toward Amiens appears to them
susceptible of flank assault by the
French from the south and south
east, while in Flanders the narrow
salient driven into the British lines
leaves the Teutonic flanks exposed.
There are many reasons, it was
said, to anticipate that any French
counter stroke designed to take
pressure off the British front in
Flanders may be delivered south
and east of Montdidier For this
reason, developments at Hangard,
CALAMITY regained by the French to-
day, are being followed closely.
Americans Like Veterans.
Participation OF American troops
with the French in vigorously re-
pelling German assaults, reported
by the French official statement,
was welcomed by officers here. They
saw in the report evidence that the
men have all the dash and enter
prise expected of them and are
coming into action like veterans.
lntimations from neutral sources
that Germany has been preparing
for naval offensive as contained
i'll press reports, already have come
TO the navy department in more
official way. Notifications of nay
lal reserves at the fleet bases, as

ties indicated plans for a dash tc

In some quarters, the sudden dror

ling that the submarines had beer
