Defense of Seaboard Submarine Mines Indorsed in House Action
The House passed the fortifications appropriation bill amid heated debate led by Rep Baker of New York who assailed the measure as wasteful and warned of imperialism.

A motion to strike seacoast battery funding for insular possessions failed 74 to 89 as the chamber adjourned for the weekend with discussion on war materials and foreign taxation. Secretary Wilson met with agriculture subcommittee on related matters.
