Tent City is
Started In Newark
NEWARK. N. J.. May 21. One
hundred and ten families, evicted by
landlords, are comfortably housed in
Vailsburgh Park today under tents
loaned to the city of Newark by the
war department. It is a real Tent
viile, whose denizens, although tem
porarily homeless, are as huppy as
could be expoeted In a community
forced to live outdoors. It is ex
pected that before the end of sum
mer 200 more families will have
joined the little colony.
Captain Thomas W. Reilly. a ma
chine gun man with a fine overseas
record, laid out the place and gave
each arrival a first come, first served
choice of their canvas habitation.
One of them was a young widow
with four children. She received an
order to vacate her apartment after
falling to defeat her landlord In a
lawsuit.
The city appropriated $25,000 for
the operation of the camp and Gov
ernor Edwards donated a big tent
which, in the center, serves as a
community kitchen. Army food from
the municipal sales stations helps
further to keep down the cost of liv
ing. The new settlement is provided
with many conveniences, including a
sewerage Bystom, running water, a
Uudry tent equipped with tuba .and
stoves for ironing, shower baths and
toilets.
The total cost of installing the im
provements was less than $600, ac
cording to Captain Reilly, the largest
single Item being $120 for heavy in
sulated wire for electric UghtB. Sol
diers and a number of city employes
helped to put up the tents, which ara
16x16 feet, and lay the board floor
ings. The tentB are boarded .up
three feet from the ground. Most of
the inhabitants of Tentville havo
stored their furniture in the prospect
of better days and are sleeping on
cots furnished by a local hospital.
The "town" Is laid out in eight
streets, with one main avenue bi
secting them.

C. A. Kells, of the educational de-
partmeut of the Y. M. C. A., spent
' yuslerduy in this city In the interest
: of the extension division or tne aaso
' ciation.
Tho ex-service men of Douglas
coumy are overlooking something,"
mr. Kells said, "and 1 believe if tuey
properly understood the oiler being
uiauo theui they would not hesitate
in accepting. When the war ended
the Y. M. C. A. had on hand a large
sum of niuuoy given by the people of
the United States for the purpose of
helping tho soldiers. It was impos
sible lo make a refund on a pro rata
basis, and consequently it waa do-
ciiled to URe the money to help the
service men In some way. The money
was divided according lo the quotas
raised by .the various states, the
allure for Oregon and Idaho being
$43,000. This in turn waa divided
among the various counties, Douglas
eoumy's Bhare being $750.
"The Y. M. C. A. then evoivea a
system of scholarships, ,and ascer
tained the approximate cost of each
course offered. Home study Is given
alone a ureal number of lines, agri
cultural and rural engineering In all
Its branches, .architecture, civil en
gineering, commerce,. mechanics,
mathematics, electricity, and many
other lines of industry. These
courses are furnished to the ex-service
man without one cent of cost.
All that is necessary for him to do Is
to (111 out nn application blank fur
iilMhoil hi in bv the county chairman
and forward It to headauartcra and
the course ill be sent him free of
charge. An estimate is made of the
cost of each course and the county
refund pays this cost. At the pres
ent time there are three men In
Douglas county taking courses with
the Y. M. C. A. One is taking radio,
another stock breeding, and a third
salesmanship. Their courses total
the sum of $150, which deducted
from the county quota leaves $600.
However, the Y. M. C. A. does not
expect to limit the counties to the
amount of their refund. In event
more men desire to take courses
than the refund allows, the Y. M. C.
A. will see that they get the studies

most exhausted from lta long flight.
a bird of the plover species picked
out the Nipon Yusen Kalsha liner
Tajlma Maru as a haven ot refuge
as the big steamship was plowing
her way across the Paclfio for this
port. The liner waa about nlue
hundred miles out from Victoria
when the feathered vlBitor settled
helplessly on the main deck. Flying
aimlessly above the broad expanse
of the ship the bird had sought for
something to rest Ha weary wings
and it eagerly accepted the accom
modating vessel to save itself from
destruction.
The bird was picked up and soon
revived when ministered to by a
member of the ship's crew. It proved
very tame and displayed no inclina
tion to resume its flight.

IS GIVEN TRIAL
Unless Railroad Companies
Make Good Systems Will
Go Back to Government
THE FUTURE IS BRIGHT
President ot Big Company Predicts
That Private Companies Will .
Make Good and That They
Will Retain Property.
By Associated Press
NEW YORK. May 20.-r-Confldenee
in the future successful operation of
the railroads of the United State
under private ownership control was
expressed by Daniel Wlllard. presi
dent of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road company, in an address he de
livered here today before the Na
tional Association of Manufacturer.
If the new railroad law is applied aa
oongross Intended, and if the rail
way manager so operate the prop
erties aa to fairly meet the require
ments and expectation of the pub
lic, ne said, "we may reasonably ex
pect that private ownership and op
eration of the railroad aa an eco
nomic policy will continue In thi
country. If private ownership should
ran me only alternative I am able to
see 1 government ownership and
operation, with all that the policy
Implies. Railway manager must for
a time at least keep constantly In
mind that private ownership I nn
trial and they must be determined
that it shall win. They must study
the needs of the publlo for transpor
tation and make every reasonable ef
fort to satisfy them. They must treat
all alike and without discrimina
tion."
Mr. Wlllard repeated his recom
mendation made to the council of na
tional defense In 1917 that "a nation
should have a national transporta
tion system and such a system
should embrace and make proper use
of all available and suitable agen
cies." He added that In his opinion,
this recommendation which he made
as a- war measure I equally perti
nent and important in time of peace.
"We are fortunate In actually hav
ing In this country the essential ele
ments of such a national system of
transportation as I have in mind."
Bald Mr. Wlllard. "There should, in
the publlo Interest, be the fullest co
operation between the several trans
portation agencies and In all cases
that agency should bo preferred
which can render the required ser
vice at the lowest total economic
cost. If this policy la followed I
feel confident of the future success
of private ownership and operation
of tho railroads,"
Having described the difficulties
of the railroads In obtaining funds
necessary for improvements, exten-
iloni and equipment which he said
had been estimated at from $600,
fiOO. OHO to $1,000,000,000 a year.
Mr. Willard said congress by enact
ing the Esch-Cuiniulns hill, had cor
rected the "poorly contrived system
it regulation which brought about a
sickly condition of the railroads,"
but that "the patient Is still weak
and unable to stand alone." Per
sonally, he said, he was In favor of
the government naming the rate ot
return upon the value of the prop
erties which the railroads shalT be
permitted to earn, but he declare!
that "the railroads must be self-
supporting before they can be ex
pected to show signs of renewed
vigor.
"First of all," declared Mr. Wll
lard, "the railroad rates and charges
'iitist be so adjusted as to meamr
nhly meet the Increased operutiug
costs resulting from conditions cre
ated by the war. Congress has given
lefinlto instructions that this be
promptly done." After that he said
It would remain for the railway man-,
igers to "bo deal with the nrnblein
as to satisfy tho reasonable re
mlrements of the nih' c n'
' his country," he went on, "In the
post have had the cheapest trans
portation In the world. I think they
are entitled to it in the future; nt
miy rate, I believe thnt under pri
vate ownership they will have it.
They are nlso entitled to adequate
'ransportatinn, and thero is an Im
ncrntlve obligation upon the carriers
o furnish It. Innd'Tjuate transpor
tation facilities would check prodnr
nn and tend to Increase the cost of
living."
Mr. Wlllard predicted that strikes
upon the railroads would become
less and lens frequent as time went
on. since. In his opinion, congress
fcnd provided n d"f'"lte fn' fi-1--ahle
arrangement that should re
cure lus'lce to the railway n-oMni".i.
"The puhl'c" su'd p"'- W".
isrd, "Is entitled to expect an tin
interrupted operaiinn f ih'I'vi. ?
nroperiies. I believe the railway
nnnngers and the emplitves will he
tble 8Rt!ifHCorl1v to solve this (la
bor! problem. Perhaps not Immedi
ately, but within a reasonably near
future. If not, thn to mv mind. It
will be the clear duty of congress tn
nass some kind of a law that will
make the stoppage of railway trains
because of labor disputes. Impos
sible." '
