NO MONEY AVAILABLE
FOR KENT ISLAND LAND
Decision Not Reached as to Army
Proving Ground, Says Sec
rotary Baker.

Secretary Baker today said that al
though the War Department had given
some consideration to the question of
establishing army proving ground
had been reached and there was no ap-
preparation available for the acquis-
ton of the land in case 1t was desired
Some of the residents of the island
have protested against the plan and
their protests have been referred to Gen.
Crozier. chief Of the ordnance bureau.
Army officers say there Is need Of
suitable place for the testing of big
guns for the coast and field artillery
and that Kent Island possessed many
advantages for such use. but as was
the case with other sites inspected
there was objection on the part of the
Inhabitants to the firing of heavy guns
in their vicinity.
Navy Not Interested.
Secretary Daniels said that the Navy
Department was not interested In the
matter and did not contemplate the use
Of Kent Island for use as a site for the
projected naval laboratory, nor for any
other naval purpose. so far as he had
heard. Last winter naval boards visit
ed various localities in Maryland and
elsewhere. looking for sites for naval
stations Of various kinds. but there was
the matter had been forced out of con-
sideration by the greater demands of
the war
Mai Cen Barnett, commandant of the
Marine Corps, he said, had approved
the establishment of marine base at
Drum point, but there was no appro-
priation for the purpose and the matter
has been dropped for the present.
Pushes Drum Point Plan.
Representative Linthicum of Balti-
more is holding almost daily confer
ences with Navy Department officials,
it being Representative Linthicum' s
hope that Drum point shall be taken as
a base for Marine Corps operations. 1t
is Understood that an expert examina-
ton of the proposed site will be made
by ofhcials next week. serious oh
stacle in the way of selecting Drum
Point, however, is the fact that there is
no railroad for carrying supplies and
men to the base.

Result Of Investigation.

A few years ago Representative Mann.
now minority leader Of the House. took
up the subject BY investigation he
found that American consumers were
paying In some instances sixteen times
more for synthetic drug than Cana
dams were paying for the same article.
He got q bill through. the committee on
patentsfo remedy the situation. but OPP
position in this country was able to pre-
vent its enactment into law
1t is chained that some of tho Ger
man manufacturers Of medicines are
subsidized by the German government,
which derives percentage of profit
from the. manufactures protected by
American, patenta 1t Is insisted that
the United States has the materials,
the men and the money to make many
of these synthetic drugs as soon as the
paten1 limitations are removed.
The pending bill does not conflne the
relief to drugs alone. but applies it to
machinery or any product or compost
