The Navy Department, in 1921

outrages and the drive continued

In the latter part of 1924, an
American mercantile house at St.
Thomas, Virgin Islands, was wiped

Gated that the act had been COM
nlitted by outlaws who had fled
to FoXardo, a small port on the
east end of Puerto Rico, then a

It was indicated that more no.
tices would go out to other property
owners soon.l The line of demarka-
tion has not been clearly established
in any public announcement by the
Army. This has resulted in consid-
erable apprehension and confusion.
People whose neighbors on both
sides have received notice to move
are uncertain about whether they
will be allowed to stay. Those who
have been told to move have not
been able to learn what they will
be paid for their land.
The Army has set up an Office in
Upper Marlboro, Md, to handle
condemnation proceedings. But in
quirers there have been told that
there will be no announcement for
some days as to the policy on price.
The land owners are afraid Gov
ernment appraisers will set values
on their property much lower than
the current market value Prices
are inflated now, they point out,
and if they have to buy new homes
elsewhere they will be selling cheap
and buying dear"
Notices Give First News.
The first news of the Army's ac-
ton in taking over the 3,250-acre
tract came from residents of the
Camp Springs s-Meadows area. who
learned of the move late in the
week when marshals served notices
on them.
The War Department made a
brief, formal announcement yester-
day, saying that construction of an
Air Corps installation" had been
authorized in Prince Georges Coun-
ty at cost in excess of $3,0000 900.
The notices to tenants to vacate
issued in Baltimore by United States
District Court Judge w. Calvin
Chestnut, said that the land was to
be used for construction of the
Camp Springs Meadows airf1eld
and for other public uses"
Much of the land is wooded. The
Woods-along with fine old fruit
trees and shrubs put in by tenants

Army has indicated that it will make
every effort to give people time to
move their belongings, without en-
forcing too strictly the lO-days-

center would not be able to handle
quickly all the incidents that could
be expected in an air raid. Stafins
