got away slowly in his starts, but by
skin and speed he succeeded in over
coming his opponents lead in every
race. The most interesting event was
the invitation match race between
Smiling" Ralph milford and Bob
Burman. II kept the audience on
its fer from start TO finish, and as
they passed the ribbon Burman led
by a nose. The crowd was not as
large as the one OF the preceding day.

MONMOUTH COACH
PRAISES LOCALS
Down State Team Meets Rock
Island High School at Is
land City Saturday.
BY LESLIE JOHNSON.

Enthusiasm is running high in the
local high school over the coming
game with the fast and experienc I'd
Monmouth eleven, which will do bat
tie with the crimson and gold war
riors at Island City park next Satur-
day. The Monmouth coach, Carlson
attended the Islander game with OF
tawa last Saturday, incognito. From
various articles in the Monmouth pa
pers last Saturdays sightseeing evil
IDENTIFY heightened the Maple City
boys respect for the local squad, as
Coach Carlson speaks very highly of
the Rock Island team. He says:
THE Rock Island bunch is one of
the best teams in this section of the
state so Monmouth will have to go
some to hold its own. The mainstay
of the Rock Island eleven is SOL
Butler of Hutchinson, Kan. Any one
who followed the results of Coach
Stages invitation meet for the past
two years knows "Sol'' as a colored
fellow who is as fast as lightning, be-
ing a 10 second man in the century
dash, and in football toys he is a de-
mon. The Monmouth pig-skin fans
look to the Rock Island game as the
biggest game of the year for them.
They will admit that it will be the
hardest one yet to be played by their
eleven"
Coach H. n. Roe of the local squad,
states that he will have his men in fit
condition to meet the Maple City elev-
en- Saturday. Hard practice has been
gone through by the squad all week
and last night stiff practice game
was played between the Islanders and
the Sophomores of Augustana college.
Tonight harder scrimmage than ever
will be melted out to the squad by Roe
A record crowd is expected to attend
the coming game at the Island City
park Saturday The game will be call
ed at o'clock sharp. The probable
lineup for the two teams will be as

NEWS OF SUCCESSES

Paris, Aug, 14-An official communi-
cation issued today says that since the
beginning OF the war the German peo-
pie have been systematically deceived
by false news circulated by a large
German agency with the object of
making Germans believe their troops
had gained great advantages. It adds
that there has been an absolute sup
preston OF all news disadvantageous
to the Germans.
The French government. II was
stated, had decided to issue a daily
news bulletin for distribution among
the French troops. This would be COM
posed of reports of field operations and
OF important events in France, the OBJ
ject being to create strong link be-
tween the French soldiers in the field
and their relatives.
