PLANS FOR A
NATIONAL DEFENSE HIGHWAY.
Endorsed by President FeIl---Letter to
c. c. Masruder ESQ.

The Hon. c. c. Magruder, Clerk
Of the Court of Appeals. has received
the following letter from President
Fell. Of St. hn's College, relative to
the National Defense Highway:
Mr. c. c. Magrudar.
Annapolis md.
Ny dear Mr. Magruder:
| am very much interested in the
plan to construct a military and post
road. 70 be known as the National De-
Tense Highway, connecting the u. s.
Naval Academy grounds and the Ma
tienal Capital at Washington, d. C..
Such g plan has been discussed among
the residents of Annapolis for several
years and the project meets the hearty
approval of all.
State roads have been recently built
from Baltimore to Annapolis, and
from Baltimore to Washington. It now
only remains to complete the triangle
by building a commodious boulevard
from Annapolis TO Washington.
1t is unnecessary TO dwell upon
the results, which this road would con-
tribute TO any plan If National De-
Tense. They are self evident to any
intelligent person. but the chief ad-
vantage will be in facilitating the
movement of product from the farm
to the city.
1t will open up large tracts of vau-
able land both in Prince GEORGES and
Anne Arundel counties, which. at
present are destitute of any good road.
The city of ANNAPOLIS with its colo
NAL houses and historic environment.
also as the Capital of Maryland and
the location of the United States
Naval Academy, is place which is
visited by numbers of tourists from
all parts of the Union throughout the
year A good road from Washington
would prove of inestimable value 70
those who have their own automobiles,
and would increase the traffic between
these cities.
am Informed that Bill has been
introduced into the House of Repre-.
sentatives by Congressman idney E
Nudd calling for an appropriation of
5 $50. 900 90 contingent upon the ex.
penditure by the STATE of Maryland of
like amount on the construction Of
such a Highway.
1t is, therefore. essential that the
General Assembly should recognize
the Importance of the measure now
before them. and speedily proceed to
pass the Bill granting the needful ap.
preparation required for the purpose.
Hoping for prompt and favorable
legislation on the SUBJECT,
| am, very truly you're,
THOMAS FELL,
President of st Johns College.

CONSTITUTIONAL QUESTIONS INVOLVED.

One of the most difficult situations confronting the military and naval committees of Congress relates to the militia of tho United States. While every abie-bodiec
 man. between 2l and s5 is liable to service Tn the militia, in time of actual war; the call Of the federal govern ment the power is reserved the respective states Of appointing all of the officers to command the militia and the Governors of the respective states call the state troops out in times of local turbulence. or nsur rectons.
 In order to perfect the general plan of Secretary of
 War Garrison and have 1t accord with his Constitutional Army or National Reserve force which he proposes as o-e Of the branches Of the general military establishment and in order that the "Continenals they would be called might be able to cooperate with the militia of the various states 1t would be necessary to have them an come under one discipline of training. subject to the orders Of the commanderlnchef the President of the United States
 Secretary Garrison thinks that unity and cooperation might be established without amendment to the Con- stitution being adopted. He would give broad con
 ructon to that clause of the Constitution which limits he appointment Of officers of the state troops to the state tselt
 In many instances the Constitution has been so hber ally construed that h long ago became an elastic in strumeut of government For instance take the matter of the appointment of postmasters The Constitution declares that the President shall make all or the ap pontments pertaining the Federal service mot other
 se provided for This Of course includes postmasters but everybody knows that Congressmen practically make the appointments of postmasters and that the person they recommend to the President is designated and his name sent to the Senate for confirmation
 It is eontended by those who are standing firm for the Garrison plan Of Continental army and greater militia force that method mgh be perfected whereby Congressman. on the recommendation of the Governor of s.ae would present the names of persons for officers of the state forces the President who would designate them as he does now the officers of the army and navy
 This t is claimed would tederalize the state militia far enough to come under the head of federal militia forces and perform the functions regular army organizations and. in time Of war they would rank the new Continental Army reserve force.
 t is of course too early in the session of Congress Co venture guess as to how this will work out but at this me the militia Is by far the popular proposal for preparedness than is the Continental Army.

MIssINa pRonTABLE BUSINESS
(Chlcago Herald)

(Chcago Herald)
 The marine insurance companies which declined to assume war risk" American shipping or offered to assume t only at deemed prohibtye thereby m' polling the government to into that business are probably reecting somewhat ruefuly now on the prof table business they missed The facts are given in less than page of Secretary McAdoos annual report but the figures are eloquent
 In brief from Sept 9 1914, to Nov 10, last l2Ss policies were Issued. under which total rsk of SSS 245O52 was assumed n consideration of S21279767O in premiums Up to Nov 10 the net losses paid were $685. sS4s2 leaving funds hand of sl4s1992SS to cover outstanding risks of s6s4o4SO estimated possible losses of S25OOOO. and total operating expense of only S2O 4S29l.
 or course, the possible risks were enormous and such as porbaby only great government would have been justified assuming in view of the la of eNper fence with the submarine factor And. of course the firm stand that the government took against the meth ods of submarine warfare attempted tended to diminish the losses However t Is quite certan that the stand would have been just firm had the government assumed no risk of direct money loss,
 So as they contemplate net profits in fourteen months of nearly Sl20O0OO with little nothing since Nov 10 to diminish them IS just possible that marine under writers are wishing that they had had little more courage and little more conviction that the government of the United States despite all plausible excuses and yelled threats would permit the submarine to run amuck against American shipping.

MORE POWER FOR THE LEGISLATURE


 Delegate wickersham has introduced bl In Con- gress entitled "An Act to create legislative assembly in the Territory of Alaska to confer legislative powers thereon and for other purposes" Delegate Wicker shams bm .s in effect an amendment to the Organic Act end It's Intent Is to give Alaska fuller form of territorial government than is provided by that Act by conferng upon the Territorial Legislature. jursdc ton over the schools of the Territory Of Alaska The bill provides that on and after July 1s17 all moneys de rived from and collected from liquor licenses outside Of incorporated towns the Territory. paid into the Alaska Fund in the Treasury Department of the United States shall be pad Into the Territorial treasury to be dsbursed under the direction of the Territorial Legs- lature This bill Is in accord with joint memorial adopted by the Legislature session 1s15 asking that the Legislature be given legislative Jurisdiction and control of the schools of the Territory.
 The Empire believes that this bill is step in the right drecton-a step by the way. toward the attain ment of other and additional powers by the Territory. It should receive the support of the Congress- and that e will be almost unanimously endorsed by the people Of Alaska we believe. without saying.
