 Such atrocious things made the first breach in my admiration for Ger many. ! few days later l read in an evening paper speech delivered by the kaiser to his soldiers in which he declared that he had learned that two French military doctors had en- tered Metz and poisoned the garrison wells with cholera microbes.

 Especial to the Commercial Appeal.
 Little Rock, Ark, Jan. 2S.-Prog- ress of the gubernatorial campaign up to date has demonstrated one fact beyond question, and that is that the Democrats favorable to local option are much stronger throughout the state than anyone, had any idea. The old time Democrats who visited Lit tie Rock this week stated that local option sentiment is very strong in their sections, and if the question was submitted under the initiative and referendum the proposition would re- ceive more votes than it did two years ago, when local option carried the state by more than 16,000 majority. It was the general belief among poli- ticians that after the statewide pro- hibition act passed by the last legis- lature became effective on January the question would have been con sidered as settled, but the contrary seems to he the case, as many of the

GERMAN WINS NINTH, 7
 !. WI VICTORY IN THE AIR
War Correspondent Writes of Battle He Witnessed Between .,s
 AerOplanes. .3s .,.@-

Berlin. Feb. 5.-Lieutenant Immel- mann, the most famous of the Ger man aviators, recently won his ninth fight in the air and destroyed another enemy aeroplane. His last victory, which brought him the highest milir tary decoration, the order Pour le Merite," was witnessed by a war cor respondent of the "Krefelder Zei- tung", who describes it as follows:
 From the window of my room in cne of the towns behind the German western front was watching a com pany of infantry which assembled in the street. Suddenly I heard the rat ting of maching guns and looking up ] noticed two aeroplanes which were describing great curves and firing at each other in height of about three thousand feet directly above the vil- lage.
 s."The whole population of the town ran to the public square with the garrison to watch the combat in breathless excitement. Not a sound was uttered by the assemblage for several minutes, but shout went up when a dark object was seen to fall from one of the aeroplanes and the machine, after turning sommer- sault in the air, fell with frightful velocity.
 lpsss"The aeroplane crashed into the garden of my house and was dashed to pieces. The pilot, Lieutenant Hobbs of the British Aviation Corps, was still breathing when we drug hi from the debris, hut he expired | within few minutes. The body of his companion, Lieutenant Johnston Tudor, who had fallen out of the ma chine after being shot through the head, was found terribly mangled in tfe street few hundred yards away "A few hours later we learned that the two English aviators were de- fcated and killed by Lieutenant Inn melmann. the popular hero of Ger man Flying Corps. This daredevil always operates alone. and uses a very small aeroplane, which however has become a terror for the British and French air.en !.
 ~"The two brave British aviators were buried with full military hon. CTS. All German officers. headed by the commander of the regiment. at tended the funeral, as an hdqorary company fired salute and a d&puta- tion of the German Flying Corps. and placed wreath on the grave of the dead heroes" ..
