HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.


In chapel Monday morning Prof.
HOFFMAN gave the students a few Of
his opinions on German strategy since
March 81. He said that the object Of
the Germans in their first terrific blow
was not to get to Paris, but to bend
the Allied line. In faris had been
captured il was not n place Of mill
tary Importance. except in lowering
the morale of the people. Their real
purpose was to bend the Allied line
so that more men would be required
to hold IT, The extra men, in the
German opinion, would be taken from
the Northern section Of trenches thus
weakening it. Then Il was their in
tention to break through in Belgium.
capture Calais and the railroads and
stop the transportation Of men and
provisions. Prof. HOFFMAN also said
that IL this had happened before the
Allied armies had been put under
one head the GERMANS would have
succeeded. But the power Of Unit
ed command was too strong for them.
Instead Of taking men from the
northern sector to hold the bend made
by the Germans, men were taken
from other places thus leaving the
Belgian trenches at their usual
strength. He also pointed to the fact
that II the German arms grow too
powerful the same power that stopped
them at the beginning Of the war
would repulse them again.
All Of the teachers have been push
ing the war stamp organizations and
cards with the pledges have been Civ
EN- to nearly every pupil in school.
The sale Of thrift stamps was great
ly increased last week.
On Tuesday class 46 girls was or
ganized to make bandages for the
soldiers and clothes for the Belgian
