KENT MUST Be TAKEN
SAYS SECRETARY BAKER
Tells Congressman Price That no
Other Place Will do For Proving
Station-Congre>sm Hopes For
Selection of Another Site.

Washington, July 30.-Secretary
of War Baker in letter to Repre-
sentative Jesse ID. Price. puts the
whole question of the Government s
acquisition of Kent Island up ia
Congress as an emergency war
proposition" He makes it plain
that the War Department needs and
must have Kent Island without de-
lay as proving ground for the test
ing OF cannon and ammunition to be
used by the American soldiers in
France
While Secretary Baker did not say
so in his letter, it became known to-
day that the United States is con-
fronted with the task of manufacture
ing vast number of guns and great
stores of ammunition for the Ameri-
can and Allied soldiers abroad. 1t is
necessary to test these guns as rapid
ly and efficiently as possible so that
there will be little delay in getting
them in the hands of the American
soldiers abroad.
Secretary Baker also emphasized
the point that the War Department
officials and those of the Geological
Survey had made an exhaustive
search of the country from the At
lantic Coast to and through the Mis-
sissippi Valley in an effort TO find
suitable artillery proving range.
Kent Island, he added. is the only
place which could be found possess
ing all the necessary requirements
and Il am, therefore" says Secretary
Baker, strongly in favor of the ac-

proving ground" Mr.. Price is urged

ator Smith, Representatives Zihlman
and Mudd and probably other mem
bers of the Maryland delegation will

Representative Price also made
plans today to take the entire Mary
personal inspection of the Island and
to talk with the people htere. He
said he wants each member of the
delegation TO see and feel what he
knows TO be true of the island. This
trip will probably be made the last
part of the week.

Secretary Baker also described
just what are the needs of site for
the proving ground. After declaring
that Barren Island and Smiths Is
land were not suitable. he said:
4 find that Il site, 10 be satisfao-
tory for this purpose, must provide a
land range not less than IA miles
long and Il total range of 80 miles,
preferably in TWO directions diane
trically opposite. Of which IL miles
in one direction may be over water.
The land range must be comparative
ly level, at least two or three miles
wide and of loamy or sandy soil. free
from rocks. The site must be acceS-
sihle by rail or water transportation.
preferably both, and of 4 character
to permit the handling of seacoast
cannon of the latest types There
are other requirements. hut ! think
that the above are sufficient TO show
that neither Barren Island nor
Smiths Island would meet the il
reducible requirements.
Representative Price. in replying
to Secretary Bakers letter. said he
feels impelled to continue his oppo-
Stion to the War Department : plan
because he believes thaj another site
can be found which Will not force
5000 people I ogive up their homes
and which Will not destroy Il rich
and fertile agricultural and business
community.
L fully recognize the Importance
of an adequate proving ground for
the testing of our new guns, he
continues. and if the people of Kent
Island were convinced that the War
Department was correct that it is the
only site available east of the Mis-
sissippi river | feel sure they would
make the sacrifice. however heart
rending it might be. But to the av-
erage mind such contention seems
absurd with so many millions of ac-
res from which 10 select. For this
reason the people of Kent Island feel
they should not be called upon to
make such a great sacrifice as TO be
driven from their homes and 60 out
into the world and make new homes
among strangers, even though they
are compensated financially.
4 am sorry to find myself in the
position of having 10 oppose the

ing the island, but | am the direct

There were a number of other de

situation. Secretary Baker appear

States, giving free rein to its senti-

"a its primordial interests, ranged it
self on the side of the Entente Pow
ers.
Now all the weight of the wealth

this great fact. No matter what may
be the duration of the conflict. it is

While the curve of German force

formidable impetus. Germany's fate
is determined.
"Henceforth, France particularly,

today compares itself TO France, it
will show what three years of war
have cost it.
