ARSENAL AUTOS
FOR MAIL RUSH
DEPARTMENT Provision VIII Reduce
Postal Expense and Delay;
May Use Two.

The effects of the budget system
instituted by the administration to
reduce expenditures in the govern
mental departments, is shown in
advices received this week at the
Rock Island postoffice, in which
the postmaster has placed at his
disposal any surplus trucks on hand
at the Rock Island arsenal for use
by the postoffice department to
handle the Christmas rush. This
innovation, inasmuch as the move
ment is. nationwide, will lower
materially the cost of surplus
transportation attendant upon the
holiday season.
Postmaster, Harry p. Simpson,
commenting upon the order, said
The Rock Island Office is FORUM
ate in having government owned
fleet of motor vehicles, composed
of five units. 1t is, therefore, very
likely that not more than two
trucks will be requested from the
arsenal. Representative from
this office who called upon Colonel
d. M. King, with the view of secur-
ing the proper equipment, were
given the choice of selection, and
were extended every consideration
and were assured by the command
ant the hearty cooperation of the
arsenal"

MOLINE TO DEFER
TWO-SHIFT PLAN
Especial Moline Service. =,

Moline isn't financially able to
establish the double-platoon sys-
TEN for the fire department jan
uary /.
This was decided by the city
council in a committee meeting
last evening. The subject of the
double platoon was considered
from several angles but no action
was taken.
Should the city be forced to in
stall the system in January, as pre-
scribed by the state law. the only
method would be to cut the sal
aries of the present members Of the
department sufficiently to provide
a fund for the new men who would
be needed to establish the double
platoon.
1t is not likely that the state au-
thorities will insist on this pro-
cedure.

sent for America to Contract

ted Press. 1.-The council Of ambas-
sadors has granted permission 10
the United States to contract for
the construction at Freiderichs-
hafen, Germany, of zeppelin OF
the LIT type. This decision marks
the end of diplomatic negotiations
which have proceeded between the
allied powers and the United States.
since July, last.
The application for the construc-
ton of zeppelin grew out OF the
destruction in Germany of five OF
the big dirigibles. one of which had
been allotted to the United States
during the peace conference.
The United States based its ap-
pIication on the grounds that it was
entitled TO another airship under
Germany's reparations agreement
The council of ambassadors refer
red the matter to the principal al
lied powers and several notes are
said TO have been exchanged.
The councils decision has been
dispatched to Washington and
should reach the state department
