With reference to the matter of staff
details, the secretary said that he was
convinced that the control of the per-
manent staff departments in the city
of Washington is an evil thar ought to
be remedied, and that it is highly i'm
portant for the ermy that there should
be interchangeable service between the
line and the staff. In answer 30 an in
quiry, the secretary said that ii was of
minor importance whether there was a
corps or regimental formation of the
artillery branch, and that while he ia
vOred the former, he really cared very
little about the matter which he re-
garded as a purely technical question.

ROOT URGES CANTE[N
Secretary Talks Strongly for
the Institution.
PLEADS FOR BIG ARMY
PREDICTS DIRE RESULTS IF THE
BILL FAILS.

Washington, Dec. 23.-At the last
meeting of the senate committee on
military affairs, the proceedings OF
which have just been made public,
Secretary Root spoke strongly in favor
of the army canteen, urging that it
was a great means of maintaining the
morality, health and discipline of the
troops. He pointed out that the post
exchange is a club, where the men get
together to read, talk and smoke, play
ing checkers and other games and
drinking under such natural restraints
as the place afforded. A prohibition of
the canteen, the secretary said would
interfere with enlistments, as the men
would not enlist il they knew they
were going to be confined in reform
school. He considered the agitation
against the canteen as d misguided
one, showing the abolition of the can
teen would drive the soldiers OuC of the
post exchange, were they ever subject
ed to salutary restraints, into the de-
moralizing and vicious surroundings
outside of army posts. 1t would re-
suit in more drinking and more decep-
ton among those who drank.
The secretary also pointed out that
the proposed enactment would convey
an entirely erroneous and prejudicial
view 10 the public as TO what had
been the course OF the army in regu-
lating the sale Of liquor up to this time
Pleads for Army Bill.
Secretary Root strongly urged imme-
date legislation for the relief of the
army. He stated broadly that if con-
gresS did not at once indorse the army
bill in substantial accordance with the
recommendations of the war depart
ment. the United States would be
obliged to abandon a large portion of
the Philippine islands where civil gov
eminent is established. If the present
garrisOns are withdrawn from certain
portions of the island the municipal
officers, mostly Filipinos, will be left
defenseless, with every prospect of be
ing deprived of their lives and prop
erty, and at the same time the United
States Will be disgraced, the secretary
said, for having proved faithless to its
solemn obligations. The secretary ar
gued that it was necessary to pass the
department bill as whole in order
to adjust the military organ
ization to the new conditions created
by the increase of numbers.
