Crime and the Canteen.

The killing of Policeman Smith by a
drunken soldier brings sharply to view the
evil consequences of the abolition of the
canteen at army posts. or rather the reor-
sanization of the post exchange by the
elimination of the sale of beer and light
wines. 1t is not. of course. assured that If

The Baltic. Sea Giant.

The Baltic, largest steamship in the
world. is due TO arrive in New York to-
day on her maiden voyage from Liverpool.
She is 1853 feet in length. with 70 feet
beam and a tonnage Of $4,000 Her nearest
rival in point of size is the Celtic of 20, $50
tons. 200 feet in length and 70 feet beam
The Kaiser Wilhelm ii has a tonnage of

with her tonnage of 1915, length of 691
and beam of se.S feet. The chief object in
these great creations such as the Baltic
and the Celtic is to secure a maximum of
carrying capacity and comfort. High speed
is sacrificed to these ends. Thus. the Bal

The Guatemalan Ant.

The Texas man who wants to exclude the
Guatemalan ants that kill the boil weeVll
will have to make clear showing or dan
ger in order to persuade any court to issue
the requisite injunction. He does not know
anything evil of these little strangers He
merely does not like the notion of bringing
them in. Somehow or other he seems TO
feel that insect importations are dangerous
He remembers the English sparrow and the
Russian thfstle-the latter might just as
well be a bug as plant. for purposes or
his argument-the Hessian fly. the San Jose
scale and lot of other pests that have
come to US from abroad. other than human.
If this ant were of native origin, discovered
here at work. or trained on this soil to the
task of devouring the weevil. perhaps this
Texas objector would regard 1t compla-
Gently. But as 1t Is. he Shudders at the
prospect of encouraging a new line of ants
to multiply in the United States, naturaliz-
ing them only4to find them more of a null
sance than the boil weevil or the anarchist.
But here is the weevil and as long as it IS
unchecked 1t will meEace the prosperity of
the cotton-gr growing states. There is the ant
In Guatemala-with an imported sample
ready to be turned loose on a government
experiment station-capable of putting the
weevil out of business. The weevil Is known
to be costly nuisance. The ant is known
to be its natural enemy. So far as ascer-
tanned the ant has no bad habits that
menace the cotton plant or other growths.
Why. then. not give this little Guatemalan
fellow chance? Why not take the remote
chance that he may develop disagreeably?
There is no hope of exterminating the
weevil otherwise. The government scien-
lists say that this tiny red ant is almost
domesticated. that ii will eat out of the
hand Give 1t a show Maybe it will prove
a greater blessing even than as a weevtl
killer. 1t may be developed for draught
purposes well dggers In the arid

brothols a. a rich field Of operations Dives
Of low order sprang up like mushrooms.
The soldiers left the post quickly when re-
lieved from duty. The guard houses and
hospitals began to fill again and the courts
martial were kept busy. The moral stand
ard of the whole community adjacent to
the post was visibly lowered. Yet In the
face of this plain demonstration that the
abolition of the canteen was unwise all eff
forts to restore 1t to its former state were
fiercely resisted.
No one doubts the sincerity of the belief
of those opposed to the canteen that 1t Is
pernicious influence. They are unques-
tionably confident that the shortest way to
a real temperance reform in the army is by
way of an absolute cutting of of the
soldiers supply at the reservation. They
would. of course be overjoyed If all other
drinking places within the range of the
soldier could be closed: indeed. all other
saloons wherever located. But that is a
manifest impossibility. Nothing is palmer
than that the soldier when excused from
post routine will seek diversion. He will
try to get beer or whisky. If he can't
smuggle it into post or get 1t on the reser-
vatien he will seek it elsewhere. He will
always find it. for. unfortunately. the pres
ent state of the temperance reform does not
yield practical prohibition anywhere.
The worst feature Of the soldiers drink
ing is that he Is seldom moderate when he
trudges off to distance to indulge his ap-
petite. He passes from drink to debauch-
cry, and II not robbed or diseased he often
commits crime such as that which has just
cost the District the life of a most useful
police officer. If the military reservation
cannot be surrounded by prohibttory zone
several miles In diameter. within which the
federal authority Is paramount In the ad-
ministration of the excise laws. the surest
step toward real temperance in the army
and the prevention of crime in the adjacent
community Is to restore the canteen to Its
former well-reguated state. permitting the
soldier to drink moderately Of comparative
ly harmless beverages under the eye of his
SUPERIOR officers.

A Bit of British Courtesy. "

A resident of Long Island hoisted the
British flag on Independence day in front
of his house and thereby incurred the Sc
criticism of his neighbors. He now
rises to explain that he raised the British
fiag-his own national colors-"in honor Of
the day-to participate In the celebration,
from a purely American standpoint and in
doing SO was actuated by the most kindly.
unselfish and sincere spirit toward America
and the American people" Noting the fact
that this person is still subject Of King
Edward. his explanation is merely cumula-
tive proof of the general belief in this
country that the Englishman's sense of
humor is underdeveloped. The American
who would hoist the stars and stripes in
London on the kings birthday or the
Frenchman who would raise the tri-cOlor in
Berlin on the anniversary of the surrender
of Sedan who would hoist that same
flag in London on the anniversary of the
battle of Waterloo would probably be re-
garded with wonder. If not with acute re-
sentiment. This Long Island mans concep-
ton of purely American standpoint of
celebration is sufficiently novel to be worthy
of a permanent place in the annals of in
ternational courtesieS.
