NEGOTIATE FOR
TWO FACTORIES
Firm Employing 500 Men Seeks
Location In Rock Island-Only
Company of Kind in West.

Directors of the Chamber of Com
merce and the industrial commit
tee of the organization held a three
hour conference in the Rock Island
club yesterday afternoon with rep
resentatives of a manufacturing in
stitution which is considering Rock
Island as location.
The company manufactures a
commodity used in every home, no
other institution of the sort being
in the middle-west, that line of sta
pies being confined to eastern
points.
The firm employs 500 men and
the matter of locating here will be
settled definitely at another confer
ence Jan. IS.
Two firms in Chicago have plac-
ed orders amounting to S600,001
with the company.
If Rock Island location is de-
cided upon, it will necessitate the
investment of Rock Island capital
in the stock of the corporation up
to a specified amount.
A proposition involving the pos
sible location here of firm manu-
featuring machinery will be con-
sidered by the Chamber of Com
merce directors at special meet
ing in the Rock Island club Friday
noon.

eral effect OF American partieipa-
ton in the Rhineland occupation
Colonel Stone said many Americans
and Europeans who had visited the
area were of the opinion that, be-
cause of Americas fmpartiality
with regard 10 European affairs,
the mere fact of American forces
participating In the occupation and
continuing to do SO, would have
r n.ra influence upon the
European affairs.
Stand Of United States.
Still greater effect would be
shown. Colonel Stone said. as the
American forces here displayed in
themselves the traditional reputa-
ton of the United States for JUS
tice and square dealing to all, and
he urged every American officer to
realize this and to impress the fact
upon the enlisted men, and that
each and every American should
do his own individual part in the
great work before him. Colonel
Stone urged the Americans to post
themselves upon European condi-
TONS so that upon returning home
each could give his friends a clear
insight to the actual conditions
which confront this part of the
world today.
AS has often been said by writers
and speakers, Colonel Stone said in
conclusion, the serious economic
situation in Europe affected the en-
tire world and until normal condi-
tons were restored over here there
could be no return to normally in
the United States which depended
extensively upon European trade as
an outlet to many of its vast indus
tries, and that, on this account. as
well as for the good of humanity
the Americans. generally at home
should take an active interest in
bringing about the earliest eco
nomic rehabilitation of Europe.

Colonel Hay pointed out that his

American officers would probably
