BOOST CITIZENS
TRAINING CAMPS
Rock Island Club to Receive Applica-
tons of Local Men for Artillery
School of instruction.

Enlistments are being received at
the Rock Island club for the military
training camp of the second district,
TO be held at Fort Benjamin Harrison,
indianapolis, Ind, next summer. The
first camp is to be held from July 5
to Aug 4, the second from Aug 7 to
Sept. 6, and the third from Sept s to
Oct. 5. The second and third camps
will be held providing 500 or more
have enrolled.
Last year only two Rock Island men
attended training camp and an effort
is to be made to increase this number
many times over this year. Those who
enlist will be obliged to attend the
full period and agree to obey the rules
and regulations established for the
government of the camp. On arrival
at the camp the applicant is expected
to pay sum, not exceeding $25, to
cover his expenses. Applicants must
be citizens of the United States OF age
from IS to As, sound physically. The
applicant must also have college
education or the equivalent, high
school graduates being accepted
The training camp idea was born
in the east last year, when the need
of preparedness was brought to no.
tice through strained relations with
the European countries. The objects
of the camp are to offer an opportun
ity for business and professional men
and students, of suitable educational
training and age, to qualify them
selves for efficient service to the Coun-
try in case of need; also to foster
patriotic spirit and spread among the
citizens some knowledge of military
history. military policy and military
needs; to instill a short period of out
door life, the habits Of obedience, dis
cipline, command of self-contrOl that
are the prerequisites of efficiency in
every business, and to send the citi-
zens back from the camps better pre-
pared to take care of themselves and
others.
Instructions will comprise the
school of the soldier and squad, COM
pany and battalion drills; the mech
anism Of the modern military rife, in
Guiding target practice, military by
giene tactics, strategy, etc. Military
maneuvers and field exercises will be
held toward the end of each camp.
Regular United States army officers
will act as instructors. The idea prov
cd immensely popular last year, and
goodly number Of Rock Islanders
will no doubt avail themselves of the
opportunity of attending one Of the
camps this summer.

the early closing would start gossip

men could not enjoy their victory of
April 4. He said the saloon men and
the commission had always been
friendly and asked why they couldn't
be in the future. He asked If the
commission would not like to hear J.

Liedtke responded by saying that the
council was only fortifying itself by
adopting the amendments.
Dan Flynn said that he could not
see how increased license and II
o'clock closing was going to regulate
| the saloons. His position was that
the individual saloonkeepers should
be held responsible for the conduct of

properly run his saloon he should get
into some other line of business.

CONSIDER CHANGE

Authorities Bring to Head Movement
Agitated for Several Years for
Use of "COurt" and "Place.@

Movement for changing the system
Of naming streets and avenues so that
the half" may be dropped, agitated
for several years in Rock Island,
came to a head in the meeting of the
municipal commission yesterday when
an ordinance was considered and re-
ferred to the commission as a COM
mittee of the whole.
The ordinance was prepared by City
Attorney j. X. Scott and was sub
mitted to the commission by Com
missioner Rudgren. Its provisions
are:
That the highway now known as
Fifth and-a-half avenue, from Thir-
teenth to Seventeenth streets and
from Twenty-fourth to Twenty-eighth
streets, be changed to Fifth court.
That the highway now known as
Ninth land -a-half avenue, from Fifth
to Ninth streets, be changed to Ninth
court.
That the highway now known as
Eighteenth-and-a-h avenue, from
Eleventh to Twelfth streets, hence
forth be known as Eighteenth court.
That the highway now known as
Nineteenth and-a-half avenue, from
Eleventh to Twelfth streets, hence
forth be known as Nineteenth court.
That the highway now known as
Fourteenth-and-a -half street, from
Seventh to Eighteenth avenues hence
forth be known as Fourteenth place.
That the highway now known as
Twenty ninth-and- a-half street, from
Fifteenth to Eighteenth avenues,
henceforth be known as Twcnty-ninth
place.
1t is seen that court takes the
place of and a half avenue" and
place" is used instead of and half
street" This not only simplifies the
street naming system and removes
confusion, but it eliminates the in
significance that the term half i'm

Holds 1t Mistake,

E. c. Berry argued on the II O'Clock
closing, claiming it was a mistake. in
asmuch as it would mean that men in
the saloon would be turned into the
streets at time when the theatres
were closing and that the theatre
goers would come in contact with the
patrons OF the saloons. He said that
