inspector general of the Philippine di-
vision.
The absence of the canteen," says
Col Chamberlain, lis severely felt. The
effect is to encourage men to drink the
various native drinks, many of which
are very injurious, and to encourage
the use of opium. At the several posts
inspected by me in the department of
Mindanao it was learned that In spite
of all precautions considerable liquor,
usually of bad quslity, found its way
into the garrisons. A canteen where
the men could purchase good beer and
wine at reasonable price would be a
blessing.
From another point of view the clos
ino of the canteen caused the compa :
MES to lose the profits. which amounted
to 500 or $3.50 a month, which We're
expended for newspapers, magazines,
games and other amusements and deli
