.Denison High and Council Bluffs
High Play at Council Bluffs Fri
day-No Score Made
DENIsoN.HARLAN GAME IS NEXT
Local Team Will 90 to Harlan Friday
Where They Will Play Harlan
Denison's Lineup

The football game between the D. H.
S. team and the Council Bluffs eleven,
played at Council Bluffs Friday after
noon, ended without either side being
able to score. 1t was fast game from
start to finish, both teams being even
ly matched.
Coach Dan Voss is we'll pleased with
the way members of the Denison team
played the game and reports that the
Denison boys outplayed the Bluffs at
every stage of the game. Once dur
ing the contest the Denison players
rushed the bah down the field to COun-
Gil Bluffs Is yard line, but there the
Bluffs eleven braced up and Denison
was unable to push the pigskin across
the goal line for touchdown. The
closest Council Bluffs came to peni-
sons goal line was IS yards.
There has always been much rival
ry between these two teams and this
year Council Bluffs had hoped to ad-
minister singing defeat to Denison
to retaliate for their defeat Of last
year. The Denison boys knew Of this
feeling and did not propose to " be
drawn into the trap and outplayed
their opponents at every stage Of the
game.
On Friday Of this week the Denison
eleven will journey to Harlan, where
they will play the high school eleven
at that place. This will be stiff
game for the locals at Harlan have an
exceptionally good team. Many boost
ers are planning to accompany the
team.
On Thanksgiving day Denison will
play here with team from the deaf
and dumb school of Omaha,
Below is the lineup used by Coach
Voss at Council Bluffs last Friday;
Norelius, center; Moeller, right guard;
Smith, left guard; Lorenzen, right

THE KAISER'S WAY.

The German high command is hurl-
ing great masses of troops against the
British positions without regard for the
sacrifice of life. The attacks are made
in great masses, following one another
in succession. There are no subleties
about mass attacks. Mass formation is
the backbone of German military STRAIT
cry. II is a simple proposition. No
matter how many men are killed if 4
sufficient number are left to overwhelm
the opposing forces or drive them from
their positions. nothing else matters
Some doubts have been entertained that
the German high command would un-
dertake an offensive on the western
front because of the immense losses it
would entail. Such doubts ignore en-
tirely the record Of Germany military
operations during the war. The sacri-
fee Of life has never been much of a
factor il restraining German military
eowmondors from their undertakings
What does the kaiser care about the
lives of common soldiers? In Field
Marshal Won Hindcnburg, toe, he has
q man after his own heart. The kai
ser 5 family is about the only family
in Germany that is not at the present
time mourning It's dead. 1t viii not b'
, in mourning after the killed in thu
present smash against the British line
are all counted.
The kaiser and his sons will be alive

the German army may have fallen il

Hohcnzollern family die in the mean
time from natural causes. The kaise

people than to the whole world-not i

Field Marshal Won Hindenburg has

such peace as the Germans have con
