Among the names of the severely
wounded in action on Tuesday appear
ed Lieut.. Richard E. Clancy and Gay
Walker of Lamar. Lieut.. Clancy had
not resided long in Lamar and had no
relatives that are known here. He
served as a non-commissioned officer
in old Company ID while on the border
and when America entered the war
attended the first officers training
camp and was awarded a commission
as first lieutenant. Since then little
has been heard of him here. He was
past forty years of age and had been
soldier in the regular army before
coming here.
Gay Walker is son of Writ Walk
err living out at Queen Beach, and has
many relatives here and in the east
ern part of the county. He has many
friends here and all hope that he will
completely recover from his wounds

SPANISH FLU SPREADS
Situation So Threatening in the State
That all Public Meetings Have
Been Called on.

The spread of the Spanish influenza
has been so rapid in this section of
the western country the past week that
the state health board has decided to
take the most strenuous measures ever
adopted in the state to check it. In
Denver, Colorado Springs, Boulder and
several of the larger cities the increase
not only in the number of cases but
in deaths have become alarming and
the authorities are taking the most
vigorous steps to check it. All pub
lie meetings of all kinds have been
ordered stopped until further notice,
and we will have a political campaign
and war drive both without public
speaking.
In Lamar and throughout Prowers
and adjoining counties there are a
number of cases reported but mostly
in a milder form and only one or two
deaths have resulted. However, all
the rules are being strictly enforced
here to insure against an increase of
the danger.

Z. Cramton, of Lapeer, is cheering
news to those who believe Mr. Cramton
is not the man to represent the seventh
congressional district in the congress
OF the United States.
This means that Congressman Cram
ton will have real opponent in the
person of a red. blooded, two-fsted,
lighting American. 1t means that
those republicans of the Thumb dis
trict, who feel they have been misrep-
resented at Washington, will be given
an opportunity to record their protest
in all effective manner. 1t means that
those who feel that Congress Cram,
tor, by voting against preparedness and
in favor of The Infamous McLemore
resolution, which would have meant
an abject surrender TO the kaiser, had
it carried, showed small calibre, will
haye an opportunity to say whether
they desire Mr.. Cramton to go back to
Washington for another two years.
The Times Herald has already made
its position plain in connection with
the congressional situation. We desire
to have in congress man who will
truly reflect the sentiment Of this pa
triotic district. We do not care wheth-
er he is democrat or republican. We
only want to see both parties nominate
men big enough and with vision enough
to deal with the great problems which
will confront the nation after the war
is over.
On preparedness, on the selective
draft, on a larger army and navy, on
the McLemore resolution, and, indeed,
upon nearly every vital issue, Mr..
Cramton WAS wrong. With such q
record to look back upon, how can we
face the future hoping that he will do
better and that his judgment and fore
sight will improve to such an extent as
to enable him to grapple intelligently
with the big questions bound to follow
this world struggle?
We are glad Capt. Scranton has come
into the race and We hope he will be
nominated on the republican side. But
we are equally anxious to see the dem
ocrats put up strong and able candi-
date. All the voters of this district are
entitled to every opportunity to place
themselves squarely on record as to
what type of man they want to repre-
sent them in the congress of this great
nation, and, while the district is nor
mally republican, the voters this year
will by no means be guided by strict
party or partisan lines.--Times-H II erald,
July 25, 1918.

AMERICA WILL HAVE
GREATEST DESTROYER
FLEET IN THE WORLD
Crayest Trouble Is the Lack
Of Officers to Place In
Command

Washington, June 15.--America s sea
forces in European waters will be aug
mented by five more squadrms Of de-
strcyers this year, the house naval COM
mittee was officially informed today.
These ships will give this nation the
greatest destroyer fleet in the world g
history.
To man these there must be an immed-
late increase in naval forces, the COM
mittee was told in letters from Admiral
Palmer and Benson and Secretary Dam
iels urging permanent increase in the
navy personnel to 131, ,485 enlisted men.
CA squadron includes thirty-six de-
stroyers.J
That a grave situation exists through
lack of men fitted to command in the
navy was revealed in letters exchang-
ed between the navy officials and the
house committee.
Among the statements therein were:
OF the two destroyer squadrons now
abroad, neither has a designated com
mander other than a British officer, Ad-
miral Bayley.
Five More Squadrons.
We are planning to send five more
squadrons abroad within a year and
haven't a commander for any Of them,
making them practically useless for
anything except submarine chasing.
Unless we have five new vice ad-
mirals for destroyer and submarine
squadrons by July l, 1919, it will be en-.
tirely impossible to utilize those forces
to good purpose.
We have two divisions Of armored
cruisers without any flag officers al
all present. Our cruisers cannot oper
ate as a scouting force because Of thii
lack.
If the officer in charge Of Panama
canal defenses should be called to tbs
sea, the land defenses would be lefI
with no capable commander.
To increase to 1S1, ,4s5 will help, bul
] it is "much less than our requirements

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Washington, June Military Off
cials today were discussing the possibil-
ity Of Major General Leonard Wood, de-
posed leader of the Camp Funston di-
vision, leading an inter-allied expedi-
tion in Russia.
The discussion arose in connection
with disclosures that some troop ships
may be used after Julys1 Tte send such
an expedition abroad. The war depart
ment, however, shed no light on the sub
jeet of Woods assignment.
1t developed today that the idea of
having the expedition enter through ST.
IBERIA has been discouraged by the en-
tente.. This plan was regarded as offer,
ing difficulties that might be avoided
The talk now is of having the forces
penetrate by way of the Murman coast
General March, chief of staff, is un.
derstood to have opposed the sending of
an American force to Russia, constitut-
ing, as it would, diversion Of effort
and an addition to transportation and
supply problems.
