Washington. Dee. LIN the senate
committee on military affairs yester-
day the hearing on the army reOrgani-
Zation bill was continued and in adj
ditiOn to a number of army officers.
Archbishop Ireland and Bishop Nc
Gzoldrick weEe heard. The two pre-
iateS spoke only on the provision Of
the bill prohibiting the establishment
Of canteen> or post exchanges. Both
of them pronounced the provision un-
wise ana expressed the opinion that
the canteen IS in the interest of tenn
pcrance and good morals in the army.
Archbishop ireland based his remarks
especially upon his observations of af-
fairs NJ Fort Smelling. near his home
at st. Paul. He said that he was sure
from all he had seen and heard among
the SoldieSs that the canteen is a pow
crful factor in the protection of the
Sol.liers from outside Jempta tiOnS OF
all kinds. and he did not accept the
theory that the canteen brings tempta-
ton TO the troops that otherwise would
not come To them.
The archbishop said further that
Judging from his observation and eX-
pe,'ience at Fort Smelling. lit is use

Use Of liquor. If you try 10 he 100 Sc

teen had been established at Fort
Smelling fewer men are found drink
ing outside the reservation than for
mCrly. In former times after Tay day
at the fort many Of the men would
be found in ~. Paul and the next day
many Of them would turn up in tho
police courts. He also spoke OF what

the border Of the military reservation.

Question of National Good Faith.
Elkins made a speech in which he
demanded a radical alteration of the

this course involved no violation of in
ternatiOnal rights. and in defense OF
this position said the United States
had made an offensive and defensive
treaty with France in 1893. and soon
afterwards had repudiated that obliga-
tion. He also cited other precedentS
and authorities. some of them being |
from English sources. in support OF
this position. He argued. in short. that |
