OWING to the pressure brought
to bear on Congress it passed law
abolishlng the canteen in the army
As result bad effects have already
followed its adjustment although
1t is but month since the canteen
was abolished. 1t has been the
means of closing the army post eX-
changes at Fort Meyer near WASH

racks, New York. at Boise, Idaho,
at Jefferson, Missouri, and at Fort
Robinson, Nebraska. The exchan-
ges were great convenience and
a saving to the men as they could
purchase at cost price any article
they might need, from a handker-
chief to an overcoat, or a penknite

with the canteen and the profits
made on the sale of beer at the lat.
ter were avail able TO meet the
operating expenses OF the exchange.

make their salaries and allowances

articles through the exchanges at

ers. The result has been the es-
tablishing of saloons at all these
points and when the men get their
pay they proceed to paint the re-
spective towns red. The result is
that the guard houses are filled
with drunken men. Secretary OF
War Eli Root predicted just such
scenes as are now being enacted
among the troops. These men can
- Re handled like somany Sunday
vchoOl0 scholars and the evil
should have been lesseued and not
increased by Congress.
