March 9-There was comparatively
lively artillery firing last night and
today on the section of the Lorraine
front VIII ,re American troops are now
in training. Late last evening the
enemy bombarded American positions
heavily, but without result.
On the Lorraine sector, as on the

enemy lines, especially on cross roads

Because of new but probably

preparations are being made to make
this occasion one of the greatest and
most to be remembered OF the lee

The lecture Friday evening was a
delightful heart 10 heart talk upon the
needs and possibilities of children,
contrasting the old corrective idea
with the new constructive method. 1t
Is the difference between reHorma-
tion and right formation. He STRONG
ly advocated the creation of right
emotional activities in the child. that
from these may spring wholesome
impulses and righteous conduct. The
great success Of Judge Ben B Lind
sey and other juvenile court judges
is largely the result of winning a
child's confidence and inspiri pg right
affections. Love never fails, he said,
the heart of child Is the most re-
