In Issuing the order calling for these re-
ports Secretary Alger remarked:

1t has been publicly asserted By the oppo-
siton of the exchange system that officers OF the
Army are restrained from expressing their true
opinion on the subject by reason OF the belief
that the War Department has determined to
maintain the exchange in spite OF opposition
The Secretary desires that such an impression be
at once dispelled. In these reports the utmost
latitude Of opinion is invited. in order that the
Secretary may be in a position to place before
congress at the next session correct report on
the merits and defects of the exchange system
as seen by those who are best qualified to judge
The War Department has determined
not to fight the State authorities Of Penn
sylvania regarding the sale of liquor at
Camp Meade, Pa, but will remove the can
teen by abolishing the camp. This will at
the same time take from Harrisburg the
patronage of nearly LOCO men. Just where
the troops now at Camp Meade will be
sent is not yet determined, but the depart
ment has decided to break up the camp at
Harrisburg as soon as possible.

Views OF OFFICERS
ON ARMY CAN9EENS
Many Replies to Mr.. Alger's
Request for Opinions.
A General Belief That the Existing
System Is Very Good.
General Anderson's Argument In
Favor of the Sale of Beer in
Military Camps.

The War Department will make public
in response to a circular sent out some
weeks ago by the Secretary of War calling
for reports upon the effect of the post can
teen in the Army. 1t is proposed by the
department to send these reports to Con-
gress with Secretary Algers recommenda-
tions regarding the operation of the can
teen. There are nearly 600 expressions OF
opinion by Army officers and they are al
most unanimous in their belief that the
canteen is necessary institution in the
Army. A War Department official re-
ferring to these reports, said yesterday
that out of the entire 600 he did not think
there were half dozen favorable to abol-
ishing the canteen.
Among those who strongly endorse the
canteen is Gen Thomas Anderson. who
Is now in command of the Department of
the Lakes. General Anderson was in COM
mand of the first expedition to Manila, and
has been in the Regular Army since May
I, 1861, when he was made a second lieu
tenant of cavalry. He was rapidly pro-
AA'oeSos htiS IbiO4iti Vi INC
Infantry when the war with Spain broke
out. Hissobservation of the canteen in the
Army extended over long period, and he
stated1that in his opinion it was not cnly
proper but necessary institution. Re-
plying TO athe questions in the circular,
GeneraljAnderson explained what oppo- :
tunityithe had for observing the canteen
feature OF the exchange system. In his
opinion he thought that the canteen had a
good effect on the morality Of the enlisted
men and an excellent effect upon the dis
cipline. He believed that courts martial
have been less frequent since the adoption
OF the canteen than before, and was csr-
tain that the granting of privilege 10 the
men to purchase beer in the camps had
greatly lessened drunkenness among the
soldiers
All the reports submitted were of the
same general tenor as General Anderson s.
The officers, in addition to expressing their
views, advanced reasons for continuation
of the canteen. The questions asked by
Secretary Alger are:
What has been its effect upon the morality
OF the enlisted men? What upon the discipline
Have desertions increased or lesscncd since its
introdnctiong
Are courts martial or less frequent?
Has drunkenness increased or lessened?
Does the opportunity to procure beer in the
post or in camps have any effect upon the efforts
side?
What would be the effect OF an absolute pro.
hibition OF the sale OF beer in the Armys
Are you IN favor OF such prohibition or are
you in favor of the exchange as now conducted?
How can the exchange be improved?
Make any additional observation calculated to
fully inform the Secretary OF your views in gen
eral on the subject.

To the Secretary of the Navy.
Secretary Long declined to discuss the
Hodgson statement or TO say whether the
Navy Department would take any further
action on the basis of Hodgson's acknowl-
edgment of the substantial accuracy of
the colloquy which he had denied, and his
charge that Admiral Schley, when he pub
lished the note that seemingly denied that
any such colloquy had occurred, suppress
ed an accompanying letter from Hodgson,
stating that the Suns account of the
conversation on the Brooklyn was sub
stantially correct.
1t is presumed that the date given in
Captain Chadwick's report of the order to
him to make an investigation of the con-
versation between Schley and Hodgson
June 12D. is an error in copying, as the
text of the report apparently indicated
that the order was issued subsequent to
the publication of the letter from Hodg
son TO Schley. All the department did in
the matter was to direct Mr.. Hodgson to
report to Captain Chadwick on board the
New York and direct Captain Chadwick
to secure an explanation from Mr.. Hodg

knit vest, coarse hose and well-worn
jackboots. She had smutted her face
