Kent Island, in Chesapeake,
Likely To Be Designated
by Government
Inhabitants Protest
Pray That Homesteads Will
Not Be Communicated for
War Purposes
Tbs telegraph tn The Tribunel

Stevensville, Md, July 8.-The little
island of Kent, in the Chesapeake, Is
anxiously awaiting orders from Wash
ington which may substitute it for
Sandy Hook. y. Y, as the great ord
nance proving grounds Of the United
States.
Agents of the War Department al
ready have obtained forced options on
one-half of the land of the island,
which is fourteen miles long and aver
ages seven miles in width. Il is
peaceful farming community, with
history that dates back to the days Of
Lord Baltimore.
Ever since the outbreak Of the war
with Germany War Department Off
Gals have been uneasy about Sandy
Hook. it is said With the powerful
forts at the mouth of Chesapeake Bay,
however, Kent Island needs no protec-
ton.
But the 5000 inhabitants of the ISL
and are in sorrow. They have appealed
to Secretary of War Baker, begging
him not to deprive them of the land on
which they enjoyed until recently
monotonous but happy existence. and
he has replied that the island would
not be taken unless absolutely neces-
sary.
In the tiny church Of this quaint viii
lage a prayer was offered this morning
that the government abandon is pro-
posed plans. The inhabitants have
posted a sign at the main crossroads
which reads: "Must we suffer as the
Acadians suffered? If we are depatri-
ated. where are we to go?"
The plans Of the War Department, II
is understood. contemplate the estab-
lishment of the largest government res
ervation in the East on the island, as
well as the removal of the ordnance
proving grounds from Sandy Hook TO
Kent. On the recommendation OF
Thomas A. Edison, it is proposed TO
erect on the island the 100000 naval
laboratory. the site for which , as been
q source of dispute. The plans for the
ACQUISITION of the island and further
work on it call for an appropriation Of
more than S25,0O0,O00, army officers
said to-day.
At BIZ meeting in Stevensville
committee that went to Washington
and filed a petition with Secretary
Baker TO spare their homes and their
island submitted its report. The prop
erty owners present declared that If
absolutely necessary to the govern
ment's military and naval plans they
would sell and vacate, but they evinced
a determination to make a strenuous
effort TO hold on.
For two weeks an undercurrent OF
i'll feeling has been manifested by
farmers against the government agents.
The climax came Friday, when the
agents arrived to continue their work.
At Stevensville the residents we're hold
ing meeting to protest against the
action of the government.
al you don't stay away from here
something is going to happen" the
angered farmers are reported TO have
told the agents.
The agents left al once.
The government has secured options
on 5000 acres Of the island.
