Appeal to Mayor for Gas
South Staten Islanders Would
Straighten Court Tangle

Residents of tho south shore OF
Staten Island held mass meetings last
night and resolved to petition Mayor
Mitchell to direct William Williams,
Commissioner Of Water Supply, Gas
and Electricity, to let them have gas
in their houses. The New York and
Richmond County Gas Company an
nounced yesterday that anIinjunction
obtained by Commissioner Williams
had halted the work of laying mains to
the south shore.
Commissioner Williams got the in
junction after the gas company refused
TO pay $1,000 a year TO Ardolph Lien
hard. whom the commissioner ap-
pointed as inspector of the work.
The gas company asserted that it was
already paying an inspector appointed
by Borough President Van Name from
the Bureau of Highways. Two inspec-
tors, the company contended, were I'M
necessary, and two salaries were impos-
sible.
Borough President Van Name, the
Staten Island Chamber of Commerce
and several civic organizations have
asserted their belief that the gas COM
pany's view was the proper one.

Bankers Bark and T lot Dogs Sizzle
When Coney Opens with a Bang
Luna Stccpechase and Other Boyviles for Crown-Ups
Just Make Crowd at Home Despite Chilly
Breeze from the Sea

Coney Island opened last night.
Luna Park, the Boyville of grown ups,
the promised land of little children
and New York City's stationary cir
Gus. threw open its gates.
There was a bit of chilly peevish-
ness in the breeze that blew off the
sea, so that first nighters were not
so numerous as in former years, but
nobody felt lonesome, even if the rec
ords of former Coney Island premieres
were not smashed with the sort of
popular bang that Coney Island favors.
Anyhow, merry-go-rounds screamed
in yellow, gold and purple colors and
crashed forth pseudo-music. The bark
ers barked the virtues Of their wonder
palaces. The hot dog merchants well
coined the visitors with open palms
that appeared to be capable Of accom-
modating all the dimes in greater New
York.

line Of saloons along West Third
Street that remind one of the wretched
gin mills of the Bowery. The foreign
money changers are well represented.
The big men of the Bethlehem plant
must take this situation in hand if the
town is to be made an attractive abode
for the best American workmen and
their families.
Attracted by the bulky pay envelope
thousands Of workers have focked here
from all sections Of the United States,
only to find that Bethlehem and its
cnvirons are about seventy years be-
hind Charles NJ. Schwab and the en-
terprise which he typifes. The place
has never developed along broad gauge
lines, but Mr.. Schwab (the older in
habitants love to call him "Charley")
through the Bethlehem Securities Com
pany is doing his best to get things
started.
This securities company is a unique
affair because Of its preference for Sec
ond mortgages and the fact that there
are only nine shareholders, most of
whom hold one share Of 500. This
concern was formed year ago. and has
already loaned S650,000 upon second
mortgages to Bethlehem Steel employees
who are ambitious enough to own their
own houses. The employee borrows as
much as he can on first mortgage, and
gives the securities company a second
lien at per cent, covering the balance
of the Indebtedness. This the borrower
clears through monthly instruments.
This, therefore, is practically the
first corporation in the country which
prefers second mortgages to first liens.
1t is financed, Of course, by the Bethle-
hem Steel interests, who have hit upon
the plan as offering the best solution
stances the company has made first
liens, but il prefers the second lien, SO
that the normal first mortgage may rep
resent advances by regular mortgage
lenders.

lions necessary. The first is thse
French technical experts teach the
American workmen certain things OF
which they are at present ignorant, or,
at any rate. only partly informed. For
example, the American motors are NOT
so finished as those made in France.
The first condition, then. Is to put tho
American aeroplanes on a level with
those made in France.
"The second condition is 10 establish
at once an inventory OF all the Amer.
icon factories that can be turned 70

work. IL may be said that this would
mean taking away from France q large
number of our experts and thus de-
creasing the French output, but II
decrease in our output for the next
four months would mean ut the end OF
that time an increased output ten or
twelve times over from American fac.
tories, then we would be the gamers
in the long run, and We should do it,
BESIDE the army OF fighting men
there stands an army of workmen. Our
need for workmen, both in the zone Of
the armies and in the interior. amounts
TO several hundred thousand hands, for
war both at the front and the rear has
become a vast factory. With very lit
tie delay America can send US workmen.
Beginning at once, the formidable pop
ulation Of the United States must be
used"
His Job Is To Coordinate
M Tardieu's new work is TO help tho
United States to use her population to
the best advantage, without lost mo-
tion and lost time. His job is coordi-
nation of effort. In speaking yesterday
OF VI. Tardieu's appointment, NJ. Jules
Cambon said:
an naming VI. Tardieu High Commits
sioner to America VI. Ribot had no
thought Of diminishing the prestige or
importance of VI. Jusserand. 1t has
been a great triumph for him that
America has come into the war. and he
will continue TO conduct all the poiti-
cal negotiations with America; but
Europe needs the American army and
navy, her munitions and food. and we
must have negotiator to stand beside
the ambassador and take over the tech
meal business from his hands, leaving
him free for his special work. NJ. Tar
dieu is this negotiator"
NJ. Tardieu himself said: The Amer
lean intervention in the war is or
capital Importance, but its practical
value will depend on how we all work
together. If France to-day, England
tomorrow and Russia and Italy on sue
ceeding days make separate requests
for help from America. the result will
be mediocre. If. on the contrary, with
out delay we work out the scheme OF
all our needs, not for one or two
months. but for a long period; not for
the next attack, but for the final vic
tory, America can give US with full ef-
feet all the weight OF her tremendous
resources and can weigh down the bal
ance of victory on the Allied side"

houses have been built since the war
started, and 5000 more will be erected
as soon as the necessary arrangements

satisfy the requirements, for a force
of 5000 men, on the ordinary basis

the task of designing models out of
