DENVER, Colo, Aug. ?. - Mid-sea- son cards turned in by members of various Colorado golf clubs indicate that better golf and lower scores may be expected this year in the Colorado golf tournament to be held August 15-19, on the course of the Denver Country Club. In anticipation of an unusually large list of competitors the tournament committee has announced that only those players whose cards for the first eighteen holes are below the hundred mark will be permitted to compete in the final half of the qualifying round.
 M. A. Mclaughlin, present title hold CT, will be hard pressed to retain the honor, in the opinion of close observ- CTS. l.. D. Bromfield, the young col legian, who was the 1914 title holder and runner-up last year, has been playing better golf than ever before, and has added the championship of the Denver Country Club to his anna teur honors. The play this year over his home course will give him advan- tage over visiting contenders.
 George Post, George Hill and several 1 z.Loz o,, hors os tho [ akawnnd Conn try Club will compete with Champion Mclaughlin in an effort to keep the title with that club. Harold Fisher, Carroll Brown and Walter Fairbanks are among the stellar players of the Denver Country Club who are expect ed to qualify in the first flight.

FORCED CONCRETE sTRU CTURE FOR MISSOURI
r.. VALLEY MOTOR CO. ...

Upon this tract, 100 by 14O feet,

CIVILIAN NAVAL
TRAINING TO Be
START'EDAUGG.fj
Six Battleships Will Be Used to
Take Civilians on One Month
Cruise.
NEW PLAN WILL HELP
ESTABLISH A RESERVE

Washington, Feb. 17.--Secretary
Daniels and his advisers today decid-
ed to inaugurate system of civilian
naval training similar to that on
which training camps have been es,
tablished at Plattsburg, N. Y, and
elsewhere. 1t is planned to use six
battleships to take those who present
themselves for training for months
cruise, beginning about August Is.
The vessels to be utilized as train
ing ship will take on their student
personnel along the Atlantic coast.
IT is estimated that the six battle
ships will make possible the training
of $500 men.
The plan proposes that the cost to
the men shall be sufficiently low to
enable those in moderate circum-
stances to join. The only compulsory
requirement is that each volunteer
declare his intention of giving his
services to the navy in case of war.
The object of the plan is to estab-
lish a naval reserve of civilians, eX-
elusive OF former enlisted men and
those OF the professional seafaring
classes.
