NAVAL TRAINING CAMP ON NORTH ATLANTIC COAST. h Station for Navy League to Estal Volunteers. New York, Jan. 16.—The naval re- serve committee of the Navy league has undertaken an effort to establish on the North Atlantic coast a paval 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 100,000 officers and ben are vitally needed to form the second and third lines of defense under conditions of defense against eubmarines shows that motor boats carrying guns have proved the most important unit of the second line and, in co-operation with aeroplanes, the most effective Wweapon against submarine attack. CANAL BURST ITS BANKS “ AT EDINDERRY, IRELAND. Houses, Crops and Cattle Were Swept Away by the Torrent. Athlone, Ireland, Jan. 16. e Grand canal burst its banks at Edindarry in Kings county, and houses, crops and cattle were swept away by the torrent which ensued.

Of the eix subjects exhibited by Mf. Nordell the most important is a Britanny Landscape, with a “busy” sky full of detached cloudlets, which the ictureesque and well-painted Scene with fgures; and An Old Corner is a good study of a quaint place in Britanny. Unless an invitation is received from Westerly for the annual tournament of the Rhode Island _State TFiremen's league, it is probable that it will be omitted, even by representation at the Kingston fair. It has been hinted strongly at the meetings of the league during the vear that Westerly would make a bid for the annual event, but as it has not been made, it now seems to be practically decided that there will be no demonstration by the state league this year but that instead the companies will give their entire en- ergies to the success of the big mus- ter of the New England league, which will be held in Providence the last week in August, as a feature of the annual convention of the International Fire Chiefs' association. The state league muster, if held, would come on Labor day, which would bring the events so closely to- zether that one or the other, or both, would fail, if both tournaments were to be held. It is barely possible that the state muster may be pulled off at an earlizr date, but as yet no invi- tation has been received by the league from any of the associations-to hold the mus'er this year and there is no intimation that one will be received, with Westerly eliminated. The firemen’s gathering for the New England muster will probably be the largest eyer seen in a hand-engine muster fifld. There will be over a dozen companijes entered from Rhode 1sland. At the annual meeting of the Rhode land Oyster Growers’ association, Franklin L. Homan was. elected presi- dent, Charles W, Long yict president. A. F. Boller treasurer and ham secretary. These officers and Charles W. Greene, John W. Dodge, E. M. Buckingham and W. H. Raye were selected executive committee. F. L. Homan, Dr. F. H. Conway and John W.

Nicholas S. Winson was elected pres- ident of the Rhode Island Fruit Grnw- ers’ association in annual meeting, and John M. Dean vice president, and Richard M. Bowen secretary-treasurer.
