New York, Jan. 16-The naval re-
serve committee of the Navy league
has undertaken an effort to establish
on the North Atlantic coast naval
volunteer training camp for the in
struction next summer of citizens in
naval routine and discipline. The
movement is understood to be in line
with the plan to establish a training
camp on the Great Lakes near Chicago
which has been approved by the navy
department.
A petition to the navy department
drawn up by the promoters of the
movement here pledges the petitioners
to obtain recruits, yachts and motor
boats in accord with any plans devised
by the navy department. A statement
issued by the committee says that
100000 officers and ben are vitality
needed to form the second and third
lines of defense under conditions of
modern naval warfare, and that Eng
lands defense against submarines
shows that motor boats carrying guns
have proved the most important unit
of the second line and, in cooperation
with aeroplanes, the most effective
weapon against submarine attack.

Observe Minor Restrictions,
That Work May Not
be Delayed.

A force of men under the direction
of County Engineer Malcolm McFar-
land, has started the repairing of the
Observation-Disclosures river highway. The
macadam half of the roadway is be
ing resurfaced and later will be oiled.
which will put the river drive in an
excellent condition. The work will
be completed by the middle of Sep
TENDER.
That the work may not be delayed
and that no part of it will have to
be done over. Mr.. Mcfarland has
asked that autoists using the road
while the repair work is going on,
observe few minor restrictions.
He asks that the automobiles be
kept on the outside of the road in
the sections where the resurfacing is
going on. Auto drivers are also re-
quested to go as slow as possible
when passing the workers so that
there win be no danger of accidents,
and it is especially asked that there
be no driving on the sections OF the
roadway on which work is being
done, as this would cut up the road
and make it necessary to do the work
over again.
A force OF ten men, five teams and
a steam roller are at work on the
highway. The road will be taken up
section at time. The start was
made at the Keokuk end of the road

today. I'VE had planned on starting
