FRENCH ARMY COMMITTEE TO
PREPARE 100000 BOYS FOR SER
VICE BY SPRING, If NEEDED.

PARIS, Nov 29,-After hearing
Gen. Galieni. minister of war, today,
the army committee of the chamber
of deputies, decided upon call to the
colors on December Is of the young
conscripts of the class of 1917 They
were sent to garrisons, then trained
and incorporated in various regiments
and services.
The class Of 1917 comprises a con-
tingent of 100000 young men who in
peace times will begin military ser
vice in 1917. The members Of this
contingent are IS and 10 years old.
The calling of this contingent was
forecast in a memorandum by M Mil
lerand, then minister Of war, in Sep
TENDER. noting that the 1916 cOntin-
gent had completed its training and
that it appeared to be necessary to
anticipate the time Of calling the 1917
contingent. so that its services might
be available if the need arose, in the
spring Of 1916, the minimum time of
training being five months.

contrary, Mcclellan beat Patterson
from two to three to one in the best
residence wards of the city and he
made practically a clean sweep of all
the country districts.
Take Patterson's own ward, one
of the best residential wards of the
city. He lives there, his manager
lives there and the man who intro
duced him when he spoke in Mem
phis lives there. In that ward Nc
Kellar got more than twice as many
votes as Patterson. Patterson's vote
in Memphis came from two sources,
a few of the ultra or emotionally IA
natical prohibitionists and the same
gang that supported him in his for
mer races. The most of the vote
came from the latter class. On the
other hand Mcclellan got the votes
of all classes He received hattering
majorities in sections where the SEN
timent is strong for law enforcement
and good government,
Il am perfectly willing to risk a
comparison of the character of men
who supported Mcclellan with those
who voted for Patterson in Memphis
and Shelby county. Our people have
every confidence in Mcclellan They
know that he is clean and upright in
his walk in life: that he will be true
to any pledge that he may make and
that he has the ability and the cour-
age to make the people of this state
a senator of whom they will be Justly
proud. / am perfectly willing that

Circuit court will practically mark

have been excused until that time,
when the court will take up the civil
docket. There are several cases ON
this docket, which, if tried, will re-

No report has so far been made by
the grand jury, which is unusual, con-
sidering the time that has expired
since the court convened. 1t is not
believed that the number of true
bills found at this term will be up to
the average.
The present term of the court has
been rather an uneventful one, very
few cases of unusual interest having
been tried. Only one, that of Bal
lanfant against Foster, attracted any
considerable number of people to
hear the testimony.

Squire Vim. Prince, chairman OF the
Polk county court, was in Ducktown' Tues
day getting acquainted with the people,
The Squire is an affable gentleman and we
were pleased to meet him.
The Squire paid this office social visit
and we found him to be Republican OF the
stripe we like to talk to-a man who be-
lieve that his party has done more tor the
people than any other human agency and
expects to serve in his capacity as chair
man to this end.
He Is no theorist and has no hobbies to
ride, and if his brother justices will give
him their honest and hearty support, the
people of Polk county will have no iault TO
find with his administration.
