OPPOSES MILITIA SUBSIDY.
American Union Against Militarism
Sends Protest to Mr.. Hay.

Protests against the proposed sub
sidy of from fifty to seventy-five million
dollars to the National Guard. embodied
in sections 1O9 and 10 of the pending
bill for the reorganization of the national
defense" are made in letter just sent to
Chairman Hay of the House military af-
fairs committee by the American Union
Against Militarism.
The letter says, in part:
"Such a subsidy to state organiza :
tions and private individuals is unpre-
cedented and full of danger for the flu
ture. 1t is not justified by any serv-
ice to the country which the National
Guard has rendered in the past. mas
much as In no one of our wars have
more than 30 per cent of the guard ever
volunteered. Nor is there anything in
the bill to insure a greater percentage
than that in the case of future war.
such a subsidy would encourage the
building up of a huge political military
like that with which you have been
familiar this session. II the minority
in the guard which has been driving
through this subsidy makes up it's
mind that it wants one hundred or one
hundred and fifty millions from the
federal Treasury, there is nothing to
prevent it from wrapping the American
flag around itself in order to defect
criticism and from demanding the
money from Congress as a body through
the members as individuals"

BRITISH ARE SUCCESSFUL
AGAINST TURKS IN EGYPT

LONDON, May 19.-The following of
fcial communication concerning the
operations in Egypt was made public
last night:
1.-The general officer commanding in
chief in Egypt reports a successful
enterprise against the enemy at Bay
oud and Mageibra, which was carried
out by a column of Australian and New
Zealand mounted troops, May 16. The
enemy made no resistance and fled at
once, pursued by us. The very great
heat and the bad going over the deep
sand made it impossible for the pur-
suit to be carried very far.
"Thirty-siN camels, a quantity of
Turkish ammunition and one Turkish
soldier were captured at Bayoud, and
the enemy camp there was entirely de-
stroyed.

PRESIDENT SIGNS BILL
FOR AQUEDUCT BRIDGE
Way Is Clear at Last for Modern
and Adequate Structure
Across the Potomac.

At last the way is entirely clear for
the construction of a modern and ade-
quate bridge across the Potomac river
at Georgetown to replace the ancient
and dilapidated Aqueduct bridge. The
President has signed the bill providing
for a new bridge at or near" the site
of the present bridge. and appropriate
ing 100000 for its construction and
$4,000 for the repair of the present
structure and it's maintenance until the
new bridge Is completed. In the act as
amended by Congress it is specially
provided that the district of Columbia
shall pay one-half the cost of construct
ing and maintaining the new bridge.
BY typographical error In the bill as
originally engrossed a provision to
that effect was made obscure and
doubtful. and necessitated remedial &C
ton by Congress.
The Secretary of War is charged with
the execution Of the act and the commits
sion of fine arts is to advise" on the
questions of site and design. Although
not officially announced. it seems to be
generally accepted that Lieut.. Col. c. A.
F. Flagler. the District engineer officer
in charge of the District water supply
system and local river and harbor works.
will be called on to prepare a project
for the execution of the law. including
plans for a bridge and the requirement
of necessary land at the Washington APP
proach.
Secretary Baker. Gen. Black, chief Of
engineers. U. S. A: Col. Flagler. the
District engineer officer; the District
Commissioners, Representative Carlin.
author of the bill. and other offlcials are
on record as favoring the foot of 34th
street as the site of the Washington
approach of the new structure, so it is
more than probable that the new bridge
will be built on a line with that street
rather than farther west on a line with
36th street (site of the present bridge)
or farther west. In ravoring the 34th
street site, Gen. Black took into con-
sideration the approaches from NJ and
34th streets and the possibility Of ap-
proaches to the bridge plaza from K
or L streets.
