$ Model Community of Ship-
workers' Homes to Be Nil
. cleus of Greater Camden
Torkihlp, America's most model x II
!ae, situated near the New fork Ship
building plant In Camden, will not suffer
the- fate of Goldsmith's "deserted -v 11
lare" or fall Into the hands of (tot-rich- ,
quick speculators
The llae. constructed at a cost to
the government that approximates J 12,
000,000, will bo completed early neit ,
nimmtr and become the home of ship
workers. It will not bo sold to any
syndicate that expects to cet It nt a low
flsure. In a word, It will become the
model village cf America.
That Is the Information and defiance
Kit en to speculators by J VT Smith,
head of the houslnc division of the
Emergency Fleet Corporation. At the
berlnnlnp of the war It became apparent
that If the nation m to build ships It
would be necessary to build houses for
the new army of Bhlp worker' The
KOernment drafted Mr. fcmlth from the
Land Title and Trust Compan to build
the houses and Yorknhlp illlfltre Is the
shining- example of his efforts
Mr. Smith's statement dispels rumors
concerning the future of the model Ul
lage and allajs the fear of a certain
motion of Camden's citizenry that the
new town with Us picturesque courts,
terraces and stucco houses will eventu
ally" become a white elephant and bank
rupt the city.
No Fear of Foreign Colony
i V or weens, in xact, since wio uennan
v" agents entered Marshal Foch's prlxato
m? njti nn Kniemhcr 11 find ndcd the war.
Camden, Gloucester, Colllngswood and
other towns across the rler hae done
a treat deal of speculating In regard to
Torkihlp.
The most persistent rumor and one
that discouraged workers from hiring
homes In the Ullage held that Yorkxhip
would be sold at a low figure and be
come a foreign colony. It wsb pointed
out that Uncle 8am does not engage in i
the real estate business and that, as the j
war emergency has passed, ha would
ell the 1J00 homes at a ridiculously
low figure.
To bolster this story, It was pointed
out that, detplte the fact that 1000
houses are ready for occupancy, but
twenty-six are occupied, and that tho
government, rather than remain the
owner of a deserted lllage, would get
out from under.
Such a course would mean cheap
homes to Indlxiduals and A hanest for
syndicates. But Mr. Smith in today's
statement has blasted such hopes.
"The real truth of the situation." snld
Mr. Smith, "is this. Due to our failure
to obtain materials we lime been unable
to complete such public utilities as
streets, sidewalks, water mains and
other utilities. Until such utilities are
In operation we did not care to wage a
vigorous campaign for tenants They
will be completed In tho early summer
and Yorkshlp will spring Into life as a
community of 10,000 persons
Camden's Mayor Optlmlstlo
'The homes will rent at monthly rates
ranging from !30 to $42 60. Naturally,
the government will sell the property
and prefers to sell to IndMduals We
have not determined on the selling prices
cf the properties, but I Imagine that
It will be possible for a man to pur
chase a home for approximately $4000.
One thing Is certain, namely, that York
ship will not be sold for a song."
That Mayor Charles H. Ellis, at Cam
dtn, shares the optimism of Mr. Smith
Is apparent He eays: 'Camden has
annexed Yorkshlp and has put aside
the sum of C0,000 to meet the school,
Are and other municipal needs. For
years we hae talked about a greater
Camden, and the United States goern
rnent has made a greater Camden a real
ity, for Yorkshlp la the best addition
made to any city In America. By hold
ing up realty values In that Bectlon a
line type of family man will be drawn
into the village. He will buy a home
and become a permanent cltlxen of our
City. So Ideal are the appointments of
Torkihlp that they offer an Incentive
to the shlpworkers In other cities to
settle here.
"A number of croakers have decried
the efforts of the city to take care of
the -village. They are the men who op
pose progress or who entertain -visions
of cleaning up big profits In realty deals
While I am chief executive of this city
J ishall keep my promises toward Yorb-
.-'ship. We have promised to erect a
$100,000 schoolhouse and will do so
when the village needs It. A flrehousa
costing 150,000 will be constructed nnd
our expenses Incident to the laying of
... nnrt uni i. .in ..'?.
ewers and water mains will be met.
"This talk of Yorkshlp becoming n de
erttd ll!age and a white elephant for
tho city of Camden Is all tommj-rot.
The village is within ten minutes' ride
of the great shipyards and Industrial
plants o Camden nnd within a half
hour's ride of the growing city of Phil
dolphhL, To say that the Milage will
Into decay and fall to attract ten
t ants Is a libel en both cities "
Si Yorkshlp As It la Today
It Is Impoislble to visualize Yorkshlp
without going there and viewing It
The cement roads; are yet to be con
tructed, electric wires must be strung
and hundreds of buildings completed be
fore the little wonder town takes definite
form. Enough has been comnleted to
i 1ve a visitor a comprehensive Idea as
tj to how Yorkshlp will look when the
j army of workers move out.
" l f-nViOuteB six-room affairs, are most
' attractive, and while a majority are of

expression 'Teufel Hunden' has taken
on a deeper slgnflcance than I had sup
posed when I heard the term first used
during our bitter fighting In the Bols de

Stewart method of applying power delivers more 'than 90 per cent to the reac
wheels and allows the springs, instead of the tires, to absorb starting a.od ,
stopping shocks. This, withthc elimination of 600 to 700 parts, saves gaso
line and tires, ,thc largest items in cost of operation, and increases the life of
Stewart trucks.
The average truck price is $200 to $300 above .the Stewart price. -
More than 200 lines of business now use Stewarts because of their simplicity '" J
and, long life. Individual firms operate fleets of from five to fifty.

often, and since we rtarted our march
Into Germany we ha,ve run across It
sufficiently often to know the Teufel
Hunden' are as well known and as feared
as the 'Ladles from Hell.'
"There nro two Instances with which
I am familiar which serve to Illustrate
the fact that tho civilians are also famil
iar with the term. Tho first occurred
when one of the officers on my staff went
Into r. store In a fairly large-sized town
on the Ithlne and asked for certain ar
ticles. Tho woman behind tho counter
saw the marlno corps Insignia on his
cellar and cap and Immediately called
to her husband to 'come one out and see
the officer of the famous "Teufel Hunden.'
Then she explained that her husband
had told her about the marines and
their fighting qualities.
The Other Incident occurred when I
went to the advanced American general
headquarters at Trier, Germany. I had
been Shown to my room In the hotel, and
while I was taking off my overcoat tho
maid who had come In to straighten up
tho room noticed tho marine corps In
signia and mndo some sort of remark
which' I didn't understand, I told my
aide to ask her what she said and If
she know what the marine corps insignia
meant. She nodded her head rather vlo-
lently and said, 'Jal Ja! Slo slnd Teu-1
fel Hunden (You are the Devil Dogs).'
