SITE OF THE
union STATION
Seems Now Very Likely to be Moved
to the South Side of the
SeabOard

A final decision with regard to
moving the union station was not
reached yesterday afternoon, but, as
the matter now stands, removal of
the station to the Masters property on
the south side of the Seaboard Air
Line tracks seems very probable.
The Seaboard Air Line railroad, thru
w. L. Sedden, vice-president, agreed
to put up $4,000 and to pay one-half
OF the cost of moving the station; B.
A. Weathers, vice president of the H.
p. Masters company, stated that an
offer of the railroads to exchange
properties, on basis of a $4,000
bonus would be acceptable to his
company, and j. C. Murchison, divis-
ion superintendent of the Atlantic
Coast Line, said that his road would
contribute the $4,000, which he had
been given to understand was what
was asked, and he said he would take
up with the proper authorities of his
road the question of bearing a half
Of the expense of the moving. He is
to advise the city, as soon as possible,
what the decision of the Atlantic
Coest Line is.
That is how the matter stood after
the conference between the officials
and council, stripped of all discussion
and some misunderstanding. Mr..
Murchison was without authority to
act, else the removal of the station
from its present site would probably
have been determined at once. He
asked numerous questions with
view to ascertaining whether there
would be any further demands on his
road in addition to the $4,000 and half
the cost of moving. Whatever the
Coast Line appropriated, Mr.. Muir
Gibson said, would be simply for the
purpose of trying to please the people
of Ocala. He pointed out that the
Coast Line had nothing to gain, but
much to lose, by union station on
the site proposed, and said that it was
to the advantage of his road to have
the station on its present site. It was
agreed that an estimate of the cost
Of moving the station would be fur
nished the Coast Line, and, with this
information obtained, Mr.. Murchison
said he would place the whole propo-
sition before the proper officials.
Mayor Robertson, present at the
conference, said he thought the offer
of the Seaboard a most liberal one,
and that the Coast Line could afford
to meet it as asked In any event
the mayor said that he would be one
to contribute toward the moving, if
necessary.
Mr.. Sedden said that he would
have work on the station held up until
a decision is reached.

HEAVY EXPENSE
To HOLLAND
Providing for the Thousands of Bel
gians Who Have Sought Refuge
in the Netherlands
tAssociated Press)

The Hague, Netherlands, June 26-
Correspondence of the Associated
Press From a million after the fall
of Antwerp, the number of Belgian
refugees in Holland has declined to
about $4,000 today, according to Of
fetal information given to the Asso-
ciated Press. The rest of the terror
stricken throngs which poured over
the Dutch frontier have returned to
their homes in Belgium, or gone to
England or France and, to some ex-
tent, to America.
Numerous Belgians are still arriv-
ing from over the border, driven out
by the hard conditions of existence
there, but this accession in apparently
counter-balanced by the outflow from
Holland in various directions. Of the
10000 still enjoying Dutch hospitality,
$4,000 are now accommodated in the
four refugee camps at EIDE, Nunspeet,
Gouda ana Uden, while the remainder
are scattered among private families,
Apart from several million dollars
provided by voluntary donations, the
country's hospitality had up to the
end of last year cost the Dutch gov
ernment some $5,0O0,OOO, while sum
of $2,000,000 has been voted for the
current Year that will, unless peace
arrives meantime, have to be raised
to probably $3,O00,OOO. The Belgian
governments offer of reinforcement
was generously declined.

GERMANS SHY OF AMMUNITION

The second and third line of the
general defensive works of the Ger
mans on the west front are equally
important and similarly intricate. All
three lines must be pierced by the Al
lies before their desire to force the
Germans to a battle in the open can
be realized. In the battle of Arras
and the Champagne, the French at
tackled the second line without sufi-
cient artillery preparation. The error
was not repeated in the present case.
The accumulation of munitions be-
hind the allied front is prodiguous
while the German stock is apparently
less plentiful, as their reply is in the
proportion of one shot for five. This
leads to the impression among OBJ
servers that their extended battle
front is not as well equipped or
manned as in previous battles.
