ants at army post exchanges, formerly
known as "post canteens," which are
used for purposes of refreshment, re-
creation and general club rooms py
the regular soldiers. The chan ze$&as
suggested by General Schofeld in
1890, and has since met with general
favor. The main reason for it is that
enlisted men have not proved success
full as managers at a majority of the
exchanges General Brooke, COM
manding the Department of the Platte,
has informed the War Department
that he has adopted the new system at
all the canteens in his depar tment,

$50, 900 rifles have been exported from
the city. Most Of these, however,
were weapons discarded by Germany
