Washington, June 24.-President Roose-
welt is already planning another trip to
the middle west, with the st. Louis ex- s.
position as the objective point. He has
felt the keenest interest in the fair. and
just after the exposition paid the govern
ment the first instalment of the $4,600,-
900 loan, the president expressed regret
that the custom which held presidents
who wanted to succeed themselves mac
tive would bind him to Washington or
Oyster Bay for the summer He said ne
would have been especially pleased II he
could have arranged to attend the exposi-
ton while the Olympian games are being
held, but will do the next best thing and
will go after the election in November. OF
course there will be the usual number
of stops and speeches going and coming,
but the trip will be as short as it can
possibly be made, in view of the fact that
congress meets in December, less than a
month after the election.
Reports received at the war department.
from post commanders show that since
1901 more than 700 saloons have been es-

quality and quantity.
Commenting on these figures the Army
and Navy Register says:
"The government has gone into the
subject Of military morale in a haphazard
| way. Its system Of athletics is inadequate
where it is not positively ludicrous. Its
other means of diversion, arranged for
the benefit of the enlisted force, are OF
varying and uncertain quality, depending
| largely upon local enthusiasm and local
facilities To be sure, our quartermasters
have designed and are building at some

serve useful purpose, being in each casea
| a sort Of club, where indoor athletics may
be taken up and where reading matter Is
accessible to the men. These buildings
| lack one feature to make them perfect
| and to complete the system Of controlling

l buildings possesses a canteen, against
/ which the righteous indignation of the

ground lost on that occasion and until the
canteen is re-esta blished it will not be in
