THE ARMY CANTEEN.
An Effort to Be Made to Repeal the
Law Of Last Winter.
FATHER DALTON GIVES HIS VIEWS.
The Detroit Clergyman Condemns the Aboi-
ishment Of Canteen and Anirma That
Drunkenness II on the Increase
Amongst Our Soldiers.

Washington, May 13.-The army
canteen probably will become the sub
ject of discussion at the next session
Of congress, when nm effort will Ne
made to modify or repeal the law OF
last winter, under which the sale o.
malt liquors and light wines is pro-
hibited at all military posts and on
government reservations. Since the
passage of the law complaints In
large numbers have been received at
the war department from officers OF
the army of the bad effects that have
attended the abolshment of the can
teen. The activity of those who were
instrumental in securing the passage
of the anti-canteen law has been
increased by the protests that are
made against 1t through the newspa-
pers by officers and men Of the army.
Numerous communication are re-
ccvcd daily at the war department
in support of the law, claiming that
its effect has been saIutary. One of
the communications received at the
department Is from Rev. william y.
Dalton, of Detroit, Mich, who has
had full opportunity to observe the
working Of the canteen at army posts
near the large cities. Writing on
this subject, Father Dalton says;
Anything more mistaken than the
canteen law ! have never witnessed.
II could only have been forced, as II
was, by LOT Of women who insist on
having the last word and u lot OF
men who are not 70 strong minded.
! think I never saw anything that so
quickly drove sober men into drunk
ards shoes as the operation OF this
same anti-canteen law. While at De-
troit | had an opportunity to see SOL
dicrs from the neighboring fort and
I never saw them so drunken. Dur
ing the many times ! have visited
cities contiguous to army posts, in
cluding Kansas City, 81. Louis, Chi
cago and Detroit. have watched the
soldiery. did that because like to
study the men a nation depends upon
for It's very life. Always ! found well
behaved and sober men. Imagine my
horror last week, however. to see the
same men reeling drunk and next to
fighting mad. II was all the cantecn
law. In the past they could have
their glass of beer on hot day or
something stronger when the air was
sharp. They got good stuff and they
got not too much, because there was
an officer Of the guard nearby, with
a lot OF armed sentries doing police
duty. Now, the soldier must go down
town to get his drink, and without
that supervision which before kept
him straight. He Is filed with vile
stuff, concoction perhaps Of tobacco
and alcohol, and instead Of having q
commissioned officer to warn him he
has had enough and to forbid the bar
tender selling any more, he has a
beast of companion urging him to
spend every cent he has. The result
Is the only result that can be OBJ
tained-the man Is drunk; that Is bad
enough, but he overstays his leave
and has to go up for punishment.
That makes deserters.

 Cheap industrials showing large re- turns to the investor are well thought of. Home transactions, with the sum- mer season before them, are becoming favorites.
 Late London advices report strong market for Americans with confident sentiment.
 Crop news in Europe is bad, which naturally should prove a benefit to the good conditions for our home crop all of which, with the exception of cotton, are showing promising results.
 The money market was easy at 31s Fer cent. on call. Foreign exchange firm at 4S5 and 4SS%, with indica- tions of more gold shipments.
 Wheat is dull crop news; at home good, foreign crops not so good.
 Cotton steady, and in our opinion preparing for a higher level of prices. The official government report is bull ish, and unless conditions mend ma terially, present prices for the early new crop months are low.
 The stock market during the last hour remained firm, so closes at very nearly best prices of the day.
