Admiral &. B. Howard. L. 5. y, and

ed to the House committee on naval af-
fairs today their views as To the needs
of the navy personnel, these two officers
being the first of a long list of naval
men VINO have been requested to appear
before the committee.
The question of personnel in the navy
is one of the most intricate which comes
before the naval affairs committee. and
there are about as many opinions as to
the methods to pursue in making better
ments as there are members. The same
is true of naval officers. All of them
agree as to the need for a change of the
personnel act, but scarcely any two
agree as to the details.
New Promotion Law Needed.
AS explained today in the committee.
the pressing need before Congress now
Is to enact law by which naval officers
can be promoted to commanding rank

Special Correspondence of The Star
UPPER MARLBORO, August % 1919
When the complete list of candidates
to be voted for in the primaries in
Prince Georges county September 8 was
announced by the board of election SUI
perv1sors here yesterday afternoon it
was found to contain the names of
sixty three democrats, thirty-four re-
publicans and eleven progressives. los
in all This number of candidates is
greatly in excess of any that has ever
been presented for the considera ton of
the voters in this county, and is the
result of the enactment of the direct
primary law to take the place of the
convention system of nominating can
didates.
1t is believed that. with few excep-
tons all of the candidates will remain
in the fight. although. under the law,
ten days Is allowed for the withdraw |
of the name of any candidate. whose
deposit will be returned In the list
are included candidates for the United
States Senate (short term), state
offices, state senate. members of the
house of delegates. county Offices men,
bers Of the state central committees
and delegates to the state conventions
The aggregate of the deposits made
by the various candidates is 1880.

Features of the Line-Up.

There are several interesting features
connected with the lineup. In the
first place. Francis S. Carmody, presi-
dent of the Farmers and Mechanics
Bank of Seat Pleasant is the repub-
Ican nominee for state senate and
being unopposed. his name will not
appear on the primary ballots, but will
be certified to the board of election
supervisors and printed on the ballot
at the general election in November
The same is true of the republican can
didates for the house of delegates as
but four filed their certificates and this
number is to be chosen at the general
election.
The real contest in the democratic
primaries is likely to occur over the
| nomination for sheriff, and the organi-
zatiOn leaders realize that they have
knotty problem to solve. The two can
didates causing the trouble are Benja-
min Ogle of Nottingham district,
backed by Sheriff Arthur B. Suit and
some of the organization leaders. and
Theodore 3. Middleton of Spaulding's
district who has the support of other
leaders in this faction. Should both
candidates insist upon remaining in
the field. thereby splitting the organi-
zation strength, the anti-organization
leaders look for the nomination of
George w. Hardy Of Surratt's district,
former treasurer of the county. But
here again trouble is looked for, owing
to the candidacy of Thomas II. Garri-
son of Hyattsville district generally
regarded as anti-organization terri
tory. Garrison. it is claimed, will draw
strength from Hardy.

Fractional Lines Drawn.

In all other instances factional lines
are clearly drawn and it will be a
fight to the finish. The progressives
or Roosevelt followers in the last cam
paign. have no candidates for state or
county offices, but have named mem
bers of the state central committee
and delegates to the state convention.
The republicans have nominated COM
plete ticket, with the exception of
candidate for road director in the sec
ond road district and with the eNcep-
ton of the state senator and members
of the house of delegates. there will
be contests over all the offices, but not
upon fractional lines, it is said.

erO. Monies and his men now constitute
a part of the forces of General Lucio
Blanco, which have been active the past
two weeks in the country between Lar
edo and Monterrey, and near Monter
rey.
The forces which joined the Constitu-
tionalists brought with them two ma
chine guns. twelve Rcckser rifles, cigh
lty MauSers one hundred and thirty
horses. and fifty thousand rounds Of am
munitiOn.
What brought about this change in the
attitude of the federal troops stationed
at Sabinas is not stated i'm the message
from General Gonzales. However. it is
known that there was no flight and as
Captain M0nteS came over of his own
accord he probably will be given a place
in the ranks of the Constitutionalists.
An unconfirmed report was received
in MatamOrOs Sunday that company
of federals at NuevO Laredo revo,ted
and refused to fight against the cOnsti-
tutionalists. 1t is said they were dis.
armed, and are being held pending a
hearing
The proximity of General Gonzales to
NuevO Laredo is considered here as be-
ing an indication that the recent move.
mcnts of the COnstitutiOnalists are
against that city instead of against Mon
terrey. Guerrero is on the border. about
sixty miles from Laredo. and telegraph
line is connected from that point with
MatamOrOs.
An American here who recently had
occasion to travel from Monterrey to
Laredo states that practically every
mile Of the Mexican National between
Monterrey and Nuevo Laredo has been
destroyed. This will prevent any quick
movement of reinforcements from Mon
tcrrey to NuevO Laredo in case of an at
tack on that point.
