The labors Of the committee OF ministers Sc
Iaced b,, the ministerial association OF this city
:, ,,,.os,feate the canteen question are taking
on a national interest. During the week the
Rev NJ. NJ Parl1hurst who is at the head Of
the committee has stirred up a great deal of
bitter antagonism. particularly among United
States army officers. by apparently going about
his work after having deliberately prejudged
the few days ago the committee called
on Colonel Van Horne. commanding the army
post at Fort Sheridan, and met with a warm re-
ception every officer at the reservation making
ii his business TO tell the members that they
were attempting to place the issue falsely before
the people Of the country. This crusade has for
its avowed object the defeat Of a sentiment that
the ministers say is being fostered throughout
the Union by those who desire to the anti
canteen law repealed. Officers assert that every
statement which has been made tending TO show
that the closing of canteens has already caused
an Increase of drunkenness among the soldiers
and the building Of cheap groggeries in the
nelghborhood OF reservations. is true. DIR. Park
hurst, on the other hand, asserts that his inves-
ugation Will show entirely opposite conditions.
The insinuation contained in this charge has
been too much for army officers to stand. The
ministers were told fatty when they visited
Fort Sheridan that their alleged investigation
was farcica trick, and that no matter what
the conditions really were they would report
only what would help their own cause. II is
probable that before this movement is ended
there VIII be great deal more trouble between
the opposing factions Meantime army men
rest their statements facts and figures which
they say no prearranged report wipe out.
