BARREN ISLAND WOULD
Be BETTER THAN KENT
VI tipHth oi PatuNcnt il Would be
More Desirable Than Kent Island.

Washington. July 11.-Represen-
! tatiye Price today suggested 10 Sec
/ rotary Baker that the government re
! leCt for its proving ground. instead of
| Kent Island, Barren Island, opposite
the mouth Of the PatuXent river and
! Smith Island, opposite the mouth of
! the Potomac river. He has already
| suggested some islands in Tangier
/ Sound. Nh Price, while without Of
| fetal information from Secretary Ba-
| ker. is convinced that Kent Island
Will not be taken over by the gov
ernment and its people thrown from
I their T-hol4es-----s-s----.-
Il again urged Secretary Baker to
make a definite announcement as 20
Kent Island" said Mr.. Price. He is
not yet prepared to do this, but l
| feel confident that Kent Island will
not be taken. The business men and
| farmers, in my judgment. now, are
| perfectly safe in returning TO their
normal pursuits and rest easy as to
the future From what | hear Kent
Island will be dropped"
There are many sites in Maryland
which Will prove acceptable to the
War Department, but none Of the
sites suggested so far have the ad
yantages, in the opinion of the ord
nance officers, presented by Kent Is
| land. AS a rule, every site suggested
| is difficult OF access and will involve
no small expenditure on the part of
J the government to provide Iranspor-
tation facilities for bringing TO The
ordnance grounds the big guns that
! are TO be tested.
That the protest of the people of
| Kent Island, who naturally object TO
! eviction from the homes that have
sheltered them for generations, is
not selfish and local was indicated to
| Secretary Baker today, when Sena-
| tor Smith forwarded to the Secretary
| Of War a series of resolutions. couch
! ed in unusually well-chOSen terms,
adopted at mass meeting held last
! Saturday by the citizens of Talbot
| county. The resolutions brought out
with especial emphasis the fact that
| to take over Kent Island and destroy
| its usefulness as great fOOd-prO-
ductive center was a direct contro-
| dictiOn Of all the eXhortations of the
government to conserve food by ev-
| cry possible means. The resolution
| pointed out further the objections
made by General Seth and by Sena-
tor Smith that the location of great
ordnance proving grounds on Kent
Island would prove an intolerable
nuisance because of the concussion
of the shells, and the noise of testing
the great guns would make life not
worth living and would destroy the
value of all property in three of the
| richest counties of Maryland-Queen
Annes, Dorchester and Talbot.
