Distributed

ALLENTOWN, Pa, Sept. 15.-Haying
been caught unawares by the recent cold
snap, the management of the United states
ambulance camp is busy distributing over
coats to the soldiers. Several thousand
were on hand which went to the men
selected to go with the second and third
overseas contngents, and requisitions were
sent in Immediately for enough to go
around.
A rumor set the camp wild yesterday,
that forty sections were TO be sent to
France at once, and the rest were to get
ninety-day furloughs. All but a few Of
The 5000 men in camp stormed headquar-
ters, begging first to be sent across, and
then pleading that a furlough be handed
out quickly. They had all sorts of excuses
for asking for furloughs, chief among which
was intention matrimony" There was
no warrant for the rumor. and lot Of
the fellows were so disgusted that they
made pasteboard scarecrow, labeled 1t
General Rumor," and buried it in rough
pine box.
These rumors furnish lots of amusement
for the veterans in camp, some of whom
are not at all old men, but fine young
fellows of probably twenty-five. who have
been in the National Guard, regular army,
American Ambulance, and few in the
Mexican army.

SITUATION CALLED IDEAL
War Secretary Says Marylandse
Should Give UP Farms When Amer
lea Is Giving Up Sons

WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.
When thousands of American homes are
giving up their sons, Marylanders should
be willing TO give up their homes Secretary
OF War Baker told the Senate Military
Affairs Committee today. Five hundred
irate residents of Kent Island. who will be
forced to give up their homes If the War
Department has its way about converting
that tract In Chesapeake Bay into proving
ground for big guns. were present to pro-
test.
Many of the farms there have been in
tho same families for five and six and
seven generations Secretary Baker. In
opening his statement before the Senate
Military Affairs Committee, emphasized the
contention that Kent Island is vital to the
War Department in order that II can feel
assured that adequate guns and proper
ammunition are sent to the American sol-
diers in France.
I'VE are engaged in tho greatest war In
the history of the world" said the Secre-
tary. This war is being fought with the
most deadly instruments ever invented for
warfare The duty of this Government.
therefore is to supply our forces In France
with guns and ammunition of proved excel
lence."
~ Secretary Baker then explained that
Sandy Hook is inadequate for a proving
ground TO test modern guns and amniuni-
ton lie told of the efforts to find range
until finally the question of a site narrowed
down to the Delaware Bay and the Chss-
apeake Bay
"An investigation Of the Delaware showed
no adequate place" said the Secretary.
The investigation also showed that Kent
Island was absolutely adequate for proving
ground needs as though 1t had been made
by nature for this purpose. 1t has every
qualification: 1t has no disadvantages: II is
the ideal place i
IL have n profound respect for those who
hold a tender attachment for ones homes"
said the Secretary, partly turning toward
the big crowd of Kent Islanders packed in
the committee room. 'In view OF the vital
necessity of properly proving our guns and
ammunition and the advantages OF Kent
Island for our purpose we feel these people
should make the sacrifice of giving up their
homes,
This IL time OF sacrifices. We are
taking sons from thousands of horF TO
send abroad to die. Mothers are sacrh
sons: wives are sacrificing husbands. H.
| will be a generation Of fatherless childrei-
| in this country. therefore make no apol-
| ogy to the good people of Kent Island. Kent
| Island is wanted to diminish the great sac
