A circular issued by the war depart
ment TO the army gives the text OF
letter received by the secretary Of war
from Representative Littleheld o +
Maine. relative to the antIcauteen act
and the secretary 5 reply. In his letter
MIR. LittlefieId states that he is the au-
thor OF the inticanteeu amendment and
adds:
II regret TO say that an impression
prevails that the officers in the army
are not adverse TO the legislation, bat
are prejudiced against it. Ii this Is
true it has created an unfrieudly at
mosphere that not only will impair
the efficiency Of the recreation and
Amusement feature, but will Of itself
practically defeat the objects Of the
legislation
Secretary Taft. in reply, said;

that a great MAJORITY Of the officers IN
the army regard the anticanteen amend
ment az i'll advised, and as likely 10 in
crease rather than decrease drunkenness
in the ranks. Indeed, must admit tC
you that, as at present advised, share
their opinion. y
The secretary then says he recognize
that it was the intention Of those whC
avored the amendment TO substitute 70

the question whether the present sys
tenn is to b. maintained OF the canteei
