U. S. MEN IN FIGHT
CENSOR PERMITS ANNOUNCE
MENT LOCATION OF TROOPS.
First Real Battle on U. S. Front in
Lorraine Is Considered Ameri-
can Triumph.

With the American Army In France,
Feb. 6.-Amercan troops now are oc-
cupying a sector Of the Lorraine front
I'm France.
This announcement is permitted by
the military censors.
The whole American sector Is re-
sounding with the boom Of guns. Air
men became exceedingly active along
tie American front during the day.
A German barrage fire at sundown
opened the heaviest bombardment or
many days along the American sector,
the American artillery replying shell
for Shell as the firing OF the heavy
guns spread along several kllomeaters
in front.
Two Americans were killed and nine
wounded during the bombardment ana
one suffered shell shock.
The German trenches are battered
10 ruins as result of the first artil-
lery battle of the war between Ameri'
can and German troops.
Officers who have returned from a
survey OF the havoc wrought by the
Yankee shells declare that the action
was complete and indisputable VIC
tory for the American gunners.
Three direct hits were obtained upon
German dugouts, which were utterly
destroyed; large portion of the Ger
ldan front-line trench was battered
into crumpled mass of earth and con-
crete, and great gaps were torn In the
harbed wire entanglements.
Compared with the German losses,
the American casualties of two killed
and nine wounded appear insignificant.
After the bombardment wounded
American soldier was discovered In a
POSITION where 1t was necessary TO
carry him over trench top to field
dressing station.
A medical corps man displayed the
Red Cross and the Germans ceased
6rintr until tha man was removed.

Reply Of President.

After listening to the memorial,
President Wilson made this reply:
II cannot, of course, answer offhand
so important a memorial as this, and
| need not tell you that it will receive
my most careful and respectful atten-
tion Many of the questions that are
raised here have been matters OF very
deep and constant concern with us
for months past. and | believe that
many of them are approaching as sue
Cessful a solution as we can work out
for them. but just what those steps
are | cannot now detail to you. You
are probably familiar with some OF
them.
II want to say that fully recog-
niZe that you, gentlemen. do not mean
that your utmost effort will be depend
ent upon the acceptance of these sug.
gestions. | know you are going to
do your level best in any circum.
stances, and count on you with the
utmost confidence in that. There has
never been a time, gentlemen, which
tseted the real quality of folks as this
time Is going to test it, because we
are fighting for something bigger than
any mans imagination can grasp This
is a final tackle between the principles
that America has been always op.
posed to, and was organized to fight,
and the things tlat she stands for.
II is the final contest, and to lose it
would set the world back-not hun.
dred. perhaps several hundred-years
in the development of human life.
This thing cannot be exaggerated In
its Importance and | know that you
men are ready. as am. to spend every
ounce of energy we have got in solv.
ing this thing. If we cannot solve
It in the best way, we will solve II
In the next best way, and if the next
best way is not available, we will
solve II in the way next best to that
but we will tackle 1t in some way and
do il as well as we can"

Urqes Need 81 Paw,

The necessity and desirability Of
sufficient play to relieve the strain Of
daily effort are dwelt upon In bulle-
tin recently issued by DR.. Samuel q.
Dixon, health commissioner Of the
commonwealth Of Pennsylvania, who
says:
Most people would say that plays
first requisite was that 1t should con-
sist Of something one doesn't have to
do. Play is in reality, however, Of all
sorts and descriptions. Those that pro-
duce something useful besides giving
rest are greatly to be preferred. There
ARE many sorts equally stimulatingsto
the mind and to the body and produe-
tive Of valuable results. One essential
ito beneficial play is that It be whole
some and be performed in healthful
environment, that is, where, we have
pure-moving air Of the right temporal
ture and preferably sunlight.

NO PLACE IN PARK SYSTEM
Small Cities Make Mistake In PLACING
Public Buildings In Their Reautl.
fuls Breathing Places.

The first and most important law Of
landscape gardening is to preserve
open lawn centers. In city planning,
as In all art, the same law. prevails,
and we have the modern civic center,
with buildings around 4 small park,
San Francisco's new civic center is q
grand example OF this type.
Many Of our small cities have SINH
lar aspirations and some have made q
splendid beginning. One Of these is the
little city Of Inglewood, Cal. But now
they are offered a Carnegie library
and It is purposed to place 1t in the
center or middle Of the park system.
With such precedent the whole area
may some time be covered with build
ifngs so that where now is generous
land beautiful breathing place there
will then be the most congested dis
;trict in the municipality. Or, If but
THE one building Is allowed to violate
the scheme all other public buildings
will be staring at this poor little
structure. seemingly wondering why
this one impertinent Individual has
been allowed to SO trespass and the re-
;mainder have been excluded. And all
visitors will be struck with like won
der. Aside from the violation Of the
proper spirit, the fine long view, the
systems greatest charm, will be de-
stroyed. The high and. grammar
schools, the city hall, engine house
and other building lots now face the
park and it is hoped that the city will
secure another lot for library site.
If this is not done it will ever be a
cause of regret and a step backward
admitted by all who know. Several
citizens of taste have already objected
ito the proposed site. Other cities will
do well to avoid making such mis-
takes.

Y" MAN NEEDS SLEEP
Driver Risks Court Martial to Let
Him Get It
Incident Which Shows How the Y. M.
Q. A. Stands win the

BY e. M. BACHELOR,

mo boys, I'm not so very tired"
said the 7. M. O. A. secretary. "Just
a little after week Of that" indicat-
ing with wave of his hand the coun-
try behind, from which came incessant
sounds Of artillery and machine-gun
IRE.
But he was dead tired, and the am
bulance driver who was giving him
a ride knew it. The secretary's head
bobbed from side to side az the ambu.
lance thumped along the rough road.
At intervals the Y. M. q. A. man slept,
roughly reused whenever shell-hole
jolt threw him against the side of the
vehicle.
The ambulance was stopped by the
side Of the road so that the driver
might tighten loose bolt.
II guess I'll lie down for a minute
while you are working" said the 7. NJ.
G. A. secretary. In second he was
sound asleep by the road.
An hour later the driver shook him,
Sorry to wake you up" he said,
"but I absolutely must be getting on.
I'm likely to be court-martialed now
for being SO long on this job, but ]
would rather take month and a
month than have robbed you Of that
sleep. I decided that the war could
go on for an hour without me, while
you tore off 40 winks."
This Is just one of many instances
showing how the Y. N. @. A. stands
with the army. That driver had vol
unfairly risked getting into trouble
with his commanding officer because
he knew the Red Triangle man need
ed sleep.

that among the Seneca tribes was one
remarkable for its beauty. When a
maiden died the Indians imprisoned q

Its powers of song, and then loading

loosed it's bonds over her grave in the
belief that it would not fold it's wings
nor close its eyes until it had flown to

Ones Personal Influence.

Every one casts shadow. There
hangs about us sort Of penumbra-a
strange, indefinable something-whfch
we call personal influence, which has
Its effect on every other life on which
itfalls. 1t goes with us wherever we
so. 1t is not something we can have
when we will, as we lay aside gar
ment. 1t is like something that al.
ways pours out from our life, like light
from lamp, like heat from a flame,
like perfume from flower.
