MUDD ASKS MILITARY
ROAD TO ANNAPOLIS
Congressman Introduces Bill for
$4,000 to Aid Maryland
Construct Highway.

A military highway from Annapolis to
Washington, designed as a strategic road
10 be used In event this nation goes to
war, is proposed in bill introduced In
the House today by Congressman sydney
Il. Mudd Of Maryland.
The Mudd bill provides that the Fed
eral Government shall aid the State Of
Maryland in building the military road,
the estimated Government contribution
being $4,000.
Mr.. Mudd's Views.
Congressman Mudd issued a statement
in connection with the bill In which he
says:
II am convinced the time has como
when the Federal Government should
take a definite step in the direction Of
anticipating the culture by building
for use by the armed forces OF the coun-
try in defending Il against a foreign
enemy in case Of invasion or threatened
invasion.
First Of all. the National Capital.
the heart Of the nation. should be
provided with every adequate means
OF proper defense, and to prevent n
repetition of what occurred during
the war Of is12 when British forces forces
peake Bay and marched overland
to Washington, where they burned
the Capitol building and tho White
House.
A Strategic Center.
state roads have been built from
Baltimore to Annapolis and from Bal
timoro to Washington. There should
be q road. equally as good. linking up
Washington with Annapolis. In case
of q threatened attack on Annpolis
troops could be rushed with heavy
guns over the State road from Balti-
more to Annapolis, and at the samo
time troops could be sent out from,
the National Capital to form n juno
ture with them in defending An
napolis, and at the same time pro-
tectinE the National Capital.
Lesson From Europe.
THE war in Europe has provided
some most valuable object lessons.
One of the most important OF these is
the value OF atrategic highways,
which have been used in supplement
ing strategic railways. as facilities
for the movement OF troops, supplies
and heavy guns.
Military experts have testified that
in strengthening the army for the
national defense we should have a
mobile army. The strategic highway
contemplated in the measure will
contribute wonderfully to the mo-
bility of the forces that may be called
upon to defend Washington"

TEST TO
COME UP THIS WEEK
House to Consider immigration
Bill, Vetoed TWice-May
Pass 1t Anyway.

The Burnett immigration bill. contain
Ing the literacy test which has been
disapproved in veto messages by two
Presidents, is scheduled for considera-
ton in the House late this week.
Chairman Burnett, OF the Committee,
on immigration. is counting noses"
today, and believes the lower body will
override the Presidents veto II the bill
is again rejected at the White House.
A bill substantially the same as the
pending measure passed in the closing
months of President Taft's term. 1t
was vetoed by Mr.. Taft. who said he
could not approve of the provision that
an immigrant must be able to read his
own or some other language before be-
ing admitted to American shores. The
House failed by only a few votes to
override the veto.
Bill Vetoed Again.
Early in President Wilson's term the
bill was again passed by both houses
and sent to tho President He vetoed
II, and again the House failed by q
narrow vote to override. 1t was be-
lieved that II the House had voted to
override the Senate would have follow
ed suit.
Chairman Burnett will ask a special
rule to make the immigration bill privi-
legged. He believes there should be no
delay in putting through q measure for
restricted immigration. The end OF the
European war, Mr.. Burnett says, Will
be attended by an exodus from the
debt-burdened countries Of Europe.
Take Opposite View.
Opponents of the legislation. however.
claim there is no danger OF an inva-
sion by European immigrants. They
say the depopulated European countries
viii need every one to reha abilitate their
home Industries, and that Immigration
will be naturally limited after the war.
Passage Of the Burnett bill is always
/ attended by a bitter debate on the floor,
and Il is probable that two days Will
be given TO debate on the measure.
