He backed himself just half yard
And grazed q biker's wheel.

The officers and soldiers at Fort Adams,
Newport. are incensed over the canteen
discussion before the senate committee

a prominent clergyman singled out Fort

tack upon the canteen system The time
upon which the criticism was founded was
during the period that the post was oc-
cupied by the 47th New York regiment.
and that time Will not soon be forgotten
by Newportcrs.
Army officers do not care 10 shoulder
responsibility for the doings I'm those
days, for the post was taken OUT of the
