Washington, D. C.-(Special.)-
though King Alfonso Of Spain was
one of the victims of the influenza cpl
demic in 1898 and again this summer,
Spanish authorities repudiate any
claim to influenza as Spanish dis
ease. If the people Of this country do
not take care the epidemic will be-
come so widespread throughout ths
United States that soon we shall hear
the disease called American" infu-
enza.
In response to request for definite
information concerning Spanish infu-
enza, Surgeon General Rupert Blue of
the U. S. Public Health Service has
authorized the following official inter-
view:
What is Spanish Influenza? Is it
something new? Does it come from
Spain?
"The disease now occurring in this
country and called Spanish Inf1uen-
"a resembles a very. contagious kind
of cold accompanied by fever, pains

would be permanent Both MT. Crow ell and Major General March, acting chief of staff, declared that the pur- pose was to close up channel through which the enemy might obtain valuable information and both disclaimed any intention of seeking to conceal heavy casualty reports from General Per shing.
 You may say for me-" said General March. that the war department has not and will not hold up a single name for an instant longer than it takes to get it out"
 The nearest relative of every soldier who may be killed or wounded will be notified by the department as hereto fore. Lists containing simply the names of the soldiers under the heading killed in action" or "died of disease will be sent each day to the committee on public information.
 Unofficially it was said at the wal department that General Pershing held
 that the publication of address with the casualty lists tends to disclose the identity of units in the trenches, infor- nation which the enemy is so desirous
 of obtaining that many lives are riske6
 in sending raiding parties to bring out | a prisoner or two to be examined and | questioned.
 | To the press the order means that | each newspaper must depend upon tho messages to relatives to get the new. of men from it's own community who are killed or wounded

NOTED ATTORNEYS
 IN PATENT TRIAL
Republican A. p. Leased Wlre1

SAN FRANCISCO, March S.-Argu- ments by Lindley M. Garrison, former secretary of war, and prominent New York and Chicago attorneys featured the hearing in the United States cir cult court of appeals nere today of the appeal by the Butte and Superior Min ing company of Butte, Mont, against a patent infringement judgment se- cured by the Minerals Separation com pany, limited. The appeal was taken under submission at the close of the hearing today.
 The Separation company claimed to have lost an indefinite sum, running into the millions, through the alleged patent infringement. The patent is known as the "oil floatation process for extracting metals from ore" The mining company contended that there was no patent infringement, because certain phases of the patent had been attacked in supreme court decision.
 MT. Garrison argued for the Separa- tion company. Others who appeared for that company where Henry D. Will Hams and William Howston Kenyon Of New York. Counsel for the mining company were Thomas F. Sherman of Chicago; Frederick P. Fish of New York and J. Edgar Bull of New York.

NJ OUTLET |S PLEA MADE IN REFUSING
 ID BUY MORE MILK
Republican A. P. Leased Wire1

CHICAGO, March S.-The revolt of milk condensing companies against prices of milk set by food commissions reported today is due to unfavorable market conditions, according to J. J. Fitzpatrick, manager of the Borden company at Chicago.
 MT. Fitzpatrick gave figures which he said were furnished by other milk dealers and were only approximate, estimating the number of cases of con- densed and evaporated milk on hand in the United States at 30,000,000. De- mestic consumption runs about 16,000.- 900 cases a year, leaving 14,000,000 for export. The government, which fixes it's own price for purchasing, has ton mage for only 4.2O0 GOO cases a year.
 With no visible outlet for nearly ten million cases. condensaries are not eager to buy high priced milk to add to their stores" said MT. Fitzpatrick
 Not Bound by Agreement
 "The condensories, understand, were not bound by the agreements. The distributors of straight milk alone were involved"
 For the Chicago district, which in- cludes southern Wisconsin. northern Illinois, northwestern Indiana and western Michigan, the price was al first fixed at $2.S3 per hundredweight to the farmer. Farmers, however, pro- tested so vigorously that further con- sideration was given and a new price of S310 was fixed.
 Milk distributors are still paying thi. price, and up to today rne condensories also, but the latter sent out the S2S; bid today. It is said that condensories throughout the country have made pro. portionate reductions m their bids. Farmers throughout the Chicago dis 1 trict were reported on the verge of { | strike as a result.

Special to The Republican,

YUMA, Ariz, March S.-If the plan of the citizens of Yuma to put this community lover the top" tomorrow in the big thrift day drive does not succeed, it will not be because of lack of enthusiasm. With the ar rival here tonight of Big Six cam paign party of the state war savings committee fresh from Phoenix and flushed with the success of a big thrift day in the capital city. the local committee feel that everything is in readiness for the work in hand In the party from Phoenix are Harry Tritle, state director; Con P.

 From the moment in the morning when dozens of young women open booths about town for the sale of thrift stamps and baby bonds, until the last dance of the big thrift ball is ended, it will be a day of fun and patriotism.
 Even the marriage license bureau at the county court house is in con- spiracy to put Yuma over, no mar riage licenses will be issued to pro- spective bridegrooms until he pur- | chases a baby bond.

WASHINGTON. March S.-Issuance of daily lists of casualties among the expeditionary forces abroad was dis continued today by the public informa- tion committee as the result of an or der of the war department under which the names of the next of kin and emer- gency addresses of soldiers whose names appear on the lists hereafter will be withheld The official explana- tion is that the purpose of the. order is to keep information of value from the enemy.
 On being informed of the order, the committee took the position that long lists of men killed or wounded would be worthless to the newspaper corre- spondents without the addresses, and a notice was issued advising the press that in future all information regarding casualties must be obtained from the war department. At the adjutant gen. erals office it was stated that the lists without addresses would continue to be sent to the committee and would be available there.
 While the disagreement between the committee and the department prob ably will be strengthened out soon so that the 'eXpurgated" lists may be made available to all who desire them, the purpose of the department to with 1 hold the addresses apparently is unal- terable. Acting Secretary Crowell said the order was issued at the urgent re- quest of General Pershing and that if

WAR REVIEW.
 OF THE DAY
TRepubIican A. p. Leased WireJ

Clear skies have returned to the bat tie front in France and everywhere along the American, British and French sectors there has been an in crease in activity by the forces which it is believed must soon close in a combat.
 Official reports, devoid of description as they are indicate that Verdun is once more the scene of heavy artillery actions, but this may be only prelim- mary to an attack on another sector.
 It is revealed in late reports that the retirement of the Gerr2ns from Narva, west of Petrograd, was a result of resistance by Russians at Hamburg, 6S miles southwest of the Russian cap ital This resistance may be only a To- cal instance of the disposition of the Bolshevik government to fight against further invasion of Great Russia but it points to the fact that the Russians still are capable of conducting a de- fense which is effective.
 Emperor Asked" to Name Son The last details relative to the peace signed with Finland shows that from the Arctic ocean to the Bltck sea the German power is complete. It is re- ported that Finland has asked Elm peror William to place his son Oscar on the Finnish throne. This deprives Russia of both shores of the Gulf oi i Finland and makes Petrograd virtually an inland city, so far as foreign com merce is concerned.
 Spirited fighting is going on in Italy
 Macedonian Theater Active
 The Macedonia war theater, too, has become more active than usual.
 Another air raid was made on Lon | don by the Germans Thursday night | Aided by the aurora borealis. which brilliantly illuminated the heavens seven or eight German airplanes crossed the east coast of England. Nc objects of military importance were damaged, but Il persons were killed and 46 injured.
 British Offensive Renewed
 The British forces in Palestine have once more taken the offensive and have advanced over front eighteen mile: long to depth of three miles.
 Japan is not only ready to take viz. orous steps in Siberia but has inti. mated that she would welcome the as. sistance of the Chinese in operations which will have for their objective tht safeguarding of entente allied interest, that Germany planned 10 arm her sol diers held prisoner in Siberia and tt send them against the Chinese north, ern frontiers.

WASHINGTON, March s. = Only about three-fifth of last years record breaking corn crop is merchantable, the department of agriculture's grain re- port today indicated. Not since 1883 has the percentage of the crop mer- chantable been so low.
 Large quantities of the corn was so soft that it had to be fed to live stock at once to prevent total loss. About 1905, ,723,QO0 bushels of the B. l59,494,O0O bushels crop is all that could be offered for sale, placing the quantity lower than that available from the smaller 1915 and 1916 crops.
 While the supply of wheat last year was hundred million bushels less than the previous year, stocks held by framers March 1 totalled 111.272. .OOO bushels or i0,622,000 bushels more than held on March 1 last year.

UNIONS CHARGED WITH BLOCKING.
 WOOD SHIP PLAN
Officials of the Shipping
 Board State Caulkers Are
 Not Cooperating in Work of Speeding Up Program
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, March S.-W OOden ships on the ways in the Puget Sound district. almost ready to launch in the race for tonnage to defeat the sub marines, are being held up by a short age of caulkers, which officials of the shipping board said today was due to the refusal of two unions to cooperate.
 The Caulkers' Union and the Broth erhood of Carpenters have been in- formed of the situation, but without result. Immediate action is declared necessary to prevent tie-up of the Pacific coast program and there were intimations tonight that the shipping board is prepared for some drastic step if all other means fail.
 William L. Hutcheson, president of the carpenters, was told of the need for caulkers and his attention called to the unreserved assistance being given by the other ship building unions to the nation during the war. Hutche son, officials say, replied that his or ganiZation had listed thousands of trained caull1ers who he would be glad to mobilize for the nations work if the shipping board granted his request for special representation of the carpenters on the wage adjustment board.
 ApprentiCeS Barred Out
 The Caulkers' Union of Seattle, which controls caulkers in the Puget Sound district, is said to have refused apprentices permission to work with them in order to learn the trade. all though the union has only 1S5 members and at least 500 are necessary to put in the water the ships planned for com pletion this year. An effort to train fifty men for caUlking provoked a strike of the experienced men, who have been receiving wages and over time. said to be causing unrest among other employees.
 Means for remedying the situation which the shipping board has in mind have not been disclosed Orders al- ready have been issued, however, to all ship yards that the arrangements are held responsible for completion of the ships on time and that they must use whatever men and machinery that can be obtained to put them out.
 May CauIk by Machine
 A machine for caullling is now in process of development.
 Because of the decline of wooden ships in this country until Germany's undersea boats rendered fast construc- tion imperative, relatively few mer have followed the caulking trade. Con- sequently the present building program is believed entirely too large for the available men to handle
 Approximately 162 ships are sched. Continued on Page TWo)

At Requests of Soldiers

SAN DIEGO. Cal, March S.-Gov- ernor George w. P. Hunt of Arizona who is in this city to attend a review of the Fortieth division at Camp Rear ney tomorrow, announced today that on his return to Arizona he would call a special session of the state legislature to consider the question of continuing the franchise rights of Arizona men in service.
 The governor said that he would take this action as the result of many re- quests from Arizona men in training at Camps Funston and Kearney. A member of the governors party said that the special session might also con- slider the national prohibition measure and national suffrage for women.
 The franchise measure contemplated would give the soldiers from Arizona the right to register and vote, though absent from the state.
