THE ARMY CANTEEN
Is the Evening Star Interested in
its ReeStabliShmentP

EDITOR SUNDAY GLOBE:
Altar reading the hashed and re-
bashed articles that have appeared In
the Evening Star from time to time on
the Army Canteen, one would come 70
the conclusion that either there is a
great lack of discipline in our Army,
or our soldiers are a lot of beer guz-
zlers. and a disgrace to our country,
but as that paper has been so persist
ent in publishing only one side, II
would seem that they have an object,
for. Notwithstanding the cOmmandant
at Fort Smelling denied over his own
signature things that were published
and copied in the Star, SILL not a
word of denial appeared in that pa
per.
Why is it that none of this howl
comes from the Navy? They certainly
would suffer as much as the Army. Is
the War Department the agent of
breweries? If so, why do they not buy
the beer and issue it as a ration? Not
compel the soldier to filter a nickel
through a canteen that he may receive
about one.eighth of a cent in return in
the company mess?
Put a pencil mark here while we re-
late a little circumstance. Several
years ago there was to be a celebration
of the surrender of CORVALLIS at York
town. One Mr.. CoTbin was ordered
there to prepare a camp for the troops
that were to take part When the
troops arrived there they found no ar
rangements had been made for them,
but, as usual, they did the best they
could After a weeks search, Mr.. Cor
bin was located in New York having "a
good time" Was that on account Of
there not being a canteen with the
Army?
To resume, / would rather take the
word of the true and tried soldier,
Gen. Nelson A. Miles, on this question
than all the Corbins, Roots, Egans, AL
gers, and all the rest Of the schemers
around the War Department, and the
Star thrown in.
am not writing this in behalf Of
any party or sect, but, having had four
years experience in the Army, from
a private to the commandant Of COM
pany, know that such insinuations as
have appeared in the Star on this sub
ject are mere BOSH.

The Worst So Ear.

Mr.. EDITOR: As you have been look
ing up all Government Departments,
think you have overlooked the Mail
Bag Repair Shop, which certainly
needs it most of all, as the men and
women employed in that Department
earn from 80 to 90 and 70 cents a day.
That is outrageous for Government
employees, and certainly ought to be
seen to. Married men and women who
have to pay rent and table board 1t
is almost impossible. Mr., w. b, Sc
we're is superintendent of this Depart
ment. He has his favorites, and they
get steady work, while his father
earns 81 and over per day, while the
other poor unfOrtunates work piece
work and are obliged to wait all day
for the large sum Of 40 cents some
days Now, if your widl kindly look
into this matter you will be doing a
very good, charitable act .or the poor
sufferers that work in that place, who
certainly need help badly,
