FAvoRs THE ARMY cANTEEN.


Charles A.. Pierce, chaplain in the
United States amy, has submitted a re-
port to the secretary of war in which
he advocates the canteen system as a
means of preventing over indulgence in
spirituous liquors by soldiers in the
4 army. Chaplain Pierce Went to Manila
with the first consignment of troops and
remained there until rev months ago.
& The report deals with the general moral
: and physical conditions of the ar,ny,
and states that there has been marked
improvement in both particulars.
Speaking Of the saloons IN Mania the
report say.
have read the Statement that but
two saloons existed in Manila at the
time Of its occupation by the Aneri-
cans. Az I first saw that city. only eight
9 days later, can say that this figure is
too small, and altho it 8 is a fact that
more public saloons exist today, 1t is al
go true that there are not so many of
them ae to involve a net increase in the
! number Of places in Manila where liquor
may be procured, but, on the contrary

American saloon has superseded some
thing else. F # 3
What II has superseded is "a most
