Secretary of War Baker says:
“ Federal aid should, in general, be granted only for roads such
as can be designated ‘through roads’—that is, roads leading from

“The War Department recognizee certain areas as more likely to
be the theatre of military operations than other parts of the coun
try. Every effort should be made to persuade the State Road
Commissions to complete the network of ‘through roads’ within
these areas.”
