We have just received today, Friday, a libelous and an infa- nous circular which M. H.. Patter- son. "The Would-be Teddy of Woodruff is having distributed to the people of this county rela- tive to his independent candidacy for county judge.
 In the opening paragraph of his yellow dog sheet he states the following: T am a candi- date for County and Probate judge of Woodruff County, inde- pendent of the little bunch of political crooks that have dis graced themselves, the county and even the state for the last fifteen years, and yet want to belle the Democratic party and principles by claiming the sacred sanctity of Democracy"
 Shades of John Brown Such lies as this, which are as black as death, can never be crammed down the throats of the people of Woodruff County. No, never. The only disgrace as we see it now that has ever been thrust upon the Democracy of this county is the fellow who shows his teeth, wears a glass front and calls his enemies cattle and other names much worse when they are absent.
 Ii during the past 15 years, as he states in another paragraph Of his puppy-rot, You know your votes haven't been counted honestly in fifteen years" who has prohted by these unfair and stolen elections? M. H. Patter- son as we all know has held of nee during that time and his maJorltles have been nothing to ofag about. If there has been fraud, has he not profted there oy and never, never, never has lie raised his hand about same unCll the tide changed and the people put him on the shelf.
 We remember when a kid, when we were not so foolish" as now, that a free-for-all pri- mary was held in this county and :, le was a delighted" winner in sua' election. Why, MT. Patter- Son' dld you not get out and spread the bull then as you are '. using to do now? Because, as sou you Know, it was a victory for 'Ou IT ana you gladly accepted it.

pATTERSON'S PRE-ELEC-
 TON PLEA ''PUPPY-ROT"
Hurls Insulting Charges at Good Old Party and the People Who Have
 Made Him All That He Is

Raney has never robbed any ne- groes. ' We are surprised to know that he is willing to place one good thing at our feet, and furthur we wish to state that we don't believe MT. Echols, Dr. James and others, as he states, have robbed any negroes, or anyone else. They are engaged In a legitimate business of sell ing merchandise and there are thousands of others in this county, state and nation, doing the same thing just as they are doing. If Messrs James and Echols are guilty of being thieves and robbers, why does he not al- so accuse those engaged in the same kind of work in his home town? We are not fighting bat ties for MT. James, MT. Echols or Judge Hutchins. They don't need it, neither do they ask it, but we are fair and broad enough to look all matters squarely in the face and discuss them, and also to fight for the interests of the true Democracy of our coun- ty, state and nation. MT. Echols has done his duty as Chairman of our party, has stated facts as they are and he would have been a traitor had he not spoken against the action Theodore" has taken in bolting the party.
 In another paragraph he says,
 Every man in Woodruff county who knows anything about the last election knows that 1 was elected" We have never, as yet, heard one single man, Wo- man or child, except the Would be-Teddy," say that he was elected, and we don't believe that there is a man in the county that does think so. If you thought, or knew, there was fraud practiced in the last primary, why, MT. Patterson, did you not make your charges and prove it? Were you afraid to look into some of the boxes for fear that the Jelks' box might also be examined? We think so and we fully believe that that, together with the be- lief in your own mind that a con test would prove Judge Hutchlns the nominee by large majority and leave you no grounds what ever for a howl, is exactly why you did not contest. Seventy four votes, of which you recelv- ed 73, was certainly going some

LONDON TIRED OF FLAG DAYS.
Protests Sounded Against Constant
"Holdups" of Public.

London. June 17.-Complaints are being
heard on all sides against the uninter-
rupted abuse of the Flag Day idea. The
plan was originated to aid the Belgians
and was repeated on behalf of the VIC
Tins of the war in all the countries tight
ing on the allies side. France Russia
Italy and Serbia have all had their Flag
Days. when hundreds OF women were
posted along the main thoroughfares of
London, pinning the small paper emblems
on every passerby and requesting In ex-
change an offering in money on behalf of
the war sufferers. This was bad enough,
but soon every other war relief fund In
existence had a Flag Day and organiza-
tions which had never been heard of be-
fore have unexpectedly come forth in the
same way to hold up" every passerby In
the streets.
Among the complaints which have been
voiced recently one of the strongest comes
from writer in the Daily Mail, who says:
But in the new calander that has been
created out of the success of Rose Day
there lies the danger of Rose Day itself
fading and dying and the bewilderlng
crop of weeds which have sprung up to
signalize other days. When Flag Day,
Badge Day. Lamp Day. Sock Day, Badge
Of Honor Day. Our Day, Your Day, Their

About 100000 Teutons.
"Batmen" Numerous.
Special Cable to The Washington Herald.

SPNN-1- NasAe W 1nc " "dnniletoD hclaiu
London, June 17.-Can It be possible
that Great Britain at the present time
has 100000 soldiers eating their heads
off? Col. Churchill afirms it as a fact,
and pertinently asked the prime minis
tor, who had stated in numbers the armed
strength of the empire, Where were
those 100000 men,"
Without in any way running counter
to the censor, 1t may be said that in
France, England is holding about thirty
five German divisions, in Syria, three or
four Turkish divisions, and in Mesopo-
tamia, from six to eight divisions-say
forty-ive divisions in alI-and II these
enemy formations are taken at their ut
most numerical value. they amount to no
more than a round million, including the
communication troops.
Making all due allowances for the need
Of strategic reserves, it must be borne
in mind that a great principle is. in
vOlved in the economy OF forces" now
that the fighting services of the Crown
are costing s3,O0o,OO0 (s15,0 ,0oO) a day.
Is full fighting value being got out of
every division? Col. Churchill says No &"
Then he speaks OF an army of servants
and grooms. of masses of unused cav
airy, and finally, OF the home service

units. OF course, 1t is q matter of high
politics to determine whether a great
defense force is needed for these islands
and 1t is a question for the general stan
whether cavalry has had its day in west
ern Europe. In pursuit it is still a pos
sibility, and no doubt host OF trained
soldiers will be maintained for the pur-
pose of feeding, grooming and exercising
troop horses and chargers. -
But in regard to the class of men
which the Indian army calls followers -
and excludes from its fighting strength,
and which the British army calls ''bat-
men," undoubtedly there is room for an
extensive application of Wellington &
rule to pay officers a servant allowance
and let them shift for themselves or hire
domestic. The regulation that bat
men" are to be available for duty in
the ranks" is one more often hopored IN
the breach than in the observance.

Everything points that way.
 Remember that this is a re- publican country. There are more republicans in it than there are democrats. The republicans outnumber the democrats in normal times by more than a million. They outnumber the democrats in many states, and the aggregate of the electoral votes of the sure republican statesfs much greater than ag- gregate of the electorial votes of the sure democratic states.
 Tt is only when the republi- can party is suffering from some untoward circumstances such as operated against it four years ago, that the democrats have any chance to win a national election in this country. The trouble with the democratic man. agers in their extravagant claims for victory this year is that they are still thinking and talking in terms of 1912, whereas this is 1916. The republicans are acting together this year and they very much outnumber the other fellows.

fortune. 1t is related that his mother
intended him to marry Princess Hell
ena, eldest daughter of Duke Max of
Bavaria With passive indifference the
young emperor agreed to his mothers
wishes, and set out to pay court to his
intended bride. He got no further
than. the park surrounding the duke
castle, where he spied a little girl
whose extraordinary beauty attracted
him.
He learned that she was Princess
Elizabeth. younger sister of his intend
ed. He resolved that Elizabeth should
be his bride and so she became in 1854.
In addition to her beauty Elizabeth
was highly endowed with talents, but
she found no welcome at court. The
emperor's mother would hardly coun-
tenance the match, and all of the
Viennese aristocracy held aloof from
her. Elizabeth returned scorn for
scorn. Her enemies bore her every tale
that could wound her pride and
estrange her love. At last they sue
ceeded. In a burst of pique she fled
to her native Bavaria. She came back,
but the Viennese never forgave her.
They charged her with loving fox
hunting in Ireland better than her duty
and preferred to remember her always
as the absent wife.
The estrangement widened. The EN- :
peror was fond of pretty women and
Vienna did not lack them. The EN-
press grew more and more to consider
herself "a dutiful sovereign lady" and
less and less wife. Tho tragic death
of her only son drew her nearer to her
husband for a while, but there came
a succeeding period of stronger repul
sion, and thereafter she almost dis
appeared from the Hofburg.
Then appeared Katharine Schratt,
formerly Of the imperial theater. BY
her tact and wit she succeeded in Gre
ating for herself place below but be-
side the throne, never accorded before
her time so openly and so permanently
to any woman. Speculation as to her
relations with the emperor was wide

way to the empress. and there followed
an incident which testifies to her I'M
common delicacy and courage.

OF such distasteful scandal mongering.
she devised a way to end 1t. One day
she took her youngest daughter by the
hand, and. to the Unreasonable aston
ishment of her guests, set out to pay a
long call on Frau Schratt at her coun-
try palace in Ischl, where all the world
knew the emperor spent hours daily.
That ended it effectually. 1t was Inn
possible to gossip before the empress
about a condition which she herself

had socially legalized by her presence.
Whatever the truth about Katharine
Schratt and the emperor, she had the
good sense never to attempt to in
fluence him politically. Those of her
predecessors who had dared more
boldly paid the penalty OF sudden and
noiseless removal from his surround
ings. When upon the assassination of
the empress, the court went into
mourning, Frau Schratt was seen but
little. Shortly. the old intimacy was
! openly resumed. but it was impossible
to continue malignant about a friend
ship that heightened into old age, and
the sting of criticism gradually died
out. At Shonbrunn castle Frau
Schratt appeared nearly every after
noon to keep the emperor company for
an hour or two. In turn, he delighted
to call on her at her town house as a
private gentleman, where he could
meet few friends OF his own choosing
and not guests imposed on him by
etiquette or reasons of state. Politics
was never discussed. Frau Schratt
had her own town house and her coun-
try house, together with a goodly al
lowance, but it never was objected that
the emperor was lavish with her and
she had the discretion not to make her
ostentation a national scandal
AS a soldier, the emperor was be-
loved of his army. In a crushing re-
verse by the French at Solferino he
suffered such humiliation that he is
said to have wished to die with his
men that he stood motionless in the
fire of battery hoping to be struck
down. But none of his reverses made
him any the less popular at home.
IDOL OF HIS PEOPLE.

him on horseback again and he attend

the field he was the embodiment OF in
defatigable energy. Three or four
horses a day he would wear out riding
in gallop to the foremost front Of
reserve and from wing to wing to ac-
quaint himself with the last tactical
details.
His popularity reached beyond the
army He was truly the idol Of his
people and especially at Vienna. His
tall, gaunt figure was familiar to every
Viennese. He rode through the streets
unguarded, bowling to the salutations
of his loving people. II 1t became
known that he was to leave the city,

drive by. He was imperial yet demo
cratic, and for years he held weekly
audiences with the common people at
which any one of his subjects could
appeal to him the righting of a wrong.

baby rash I continued using common soap
and powder. This seemed to do no good
and the rash steadily got worse. 1t spread
into her hair and down her chest and the
skin was red and infiamed. She scratched
her face and neck continually and was very
irritable and slept badly. Her hair became
thin and dry and her face was . mass of
scales.
