Electrical fixtures of all kinds form

Since early fall the Rock Island
Southern railway company heads
have been engaged with the Rock
Island lines officials in drawing up
a contract providing for a removal
of the southern passenger terminal
from its present location at the foo,
of Fourth avenue, to the Rock Is
land station and freight depot at
First avenue and Twentieth street,
The negotiations, although stretch
ing over an undue length of time
proceeded, according to reports,
without opposition from either side.
The change was scheduled to be
made during the first few days OF
January. 1920. The old station o.
the Southern will be abandoned, a.
it has considerably deprecated dur
ing late years. The one structure
of the station at Twentieth street
will house a single ticket depart
ment serving patrons Of both roads.
A similar change was that Of the
Milwaukee railroad, which coia-
bined its passenger department.
here with that of the Burlington
railroad at Second avenue and
Twentieth street, Nov. l, 1919. TIE
former home of the Milwaukee. on
the levee between Seventeenth and
Eighteenth avenues, was construct
d in 1899 for the d. r. /. & N, w.
railroad, which ceased operation In
1901. The Milwaukee organtxatfo1
succeeded it In other WAYS. also
renting the station, which was attn
property of stockholders In the de-
funct line. The arrangement ef-
feeted by the change Nov. 1. was
made to give Milwaukee passengers
better accommodation, since the
new place has q more accessfhIe
location and does not lie on the
far side of network Of tracks and
railroad yards as the old place did

Vital Changes in Generalization.

LondGn.-The Central News de-
.ares that as Il result of the allied dis
,HssiOns in Paris the whole aspect of
dcmOblization has undergone Il sud
len and vital change, This being shown
IN the drastic conditions demanded of
Germany for renewal of the armS-
tee. "On authority of IN unimpeaCh-
able character says the Central
News, lit can be stated that Il crisis
exists in Europe under which the
world war may be resumed any mo-
ment. The Allied War Council has
arrived at Il decision which means that
the British people have mistaken the
appearance of peace for reality. This
decision means that the new British
Ministry must revise the whole scheme
Of army rehabilitation. The decision
is that Great Britain in proportion to
its military strength must maintain
an army Of occupation on the Rhine
for many months. If the rapid in
crease in rehabilitation recently an
bounced were continued, in few
l.lOnthS there would be no army In
France to undertake the obligations
which, by common decision Of the al
lies, have been placed upon British
ShOulderS.'
