Almost every week now brings new evidence
cha. the army has not given up the fight for the
restoration of the post canteeE, which was acoi-
fshed by Congress some time ago, against the
protests of a majority of the officers in the
service The latest officer of rank to take up
the cudgeIs for the canteen is Brigader General
Frederick D. Grant, commanding the Depart
ment OF the East, with headquarters on Gov
ernors Island.
There is nothing uncertain in his stano'
which, as he says is best outlined in his an
nual report for 1905 which has just been made
public by the War Department. or the 1SIOo
trials held by the several military courts or MS
department in the fiscal year General Grant de-
clares that 20 per cent were directly traceabIe
to bad liquor sold in the grog shops in the VI
cinity of the posts which have taken the place
of the canteens. He goes even further in per-
sonal statements by declaring that IS per cent
is If anything. an underestimate, and that ~
per cent would be nearer the truth

NOT A GuRE.ALL.

General Grant cautioned The Tribune re-
porter not to carry away the impression that
he believed the restoration OF the canteen would
prevent ali lapses of discipline
There are men in the army who prefer to
drink bad whiskey," he said. IF you provided
q place where they could get beer or even
champagne for nothing they would still crave
bad whiskey and get into trouble through
drinking it. We must, however work for the
greatest good of the greatest number, and that
demands the restoration of the canteen."
General Grant has been much interested in the
matter Of desertions, which last year showed
tba following percentages: Cavalry. 20 per
cent; artillery IL per cent. and infantry, per
cent of the enlisted force the total number re-
,orted being 1892 He traces a majority Of
these directly to the absence of the canteen and
The presence Of vile liquor places outside the
post boundaries.
When Tribune reporter asked him for par
ttcular instances he handed over bundle Of

After calling attention to these figures Gen
eral Grant indicated his written opinion upon
them, which reads follows:
at is my belief that fully IS per cent Of these
trials were due to the use of bad liquor, dis
pensed to our soldiers by persons who conduct
dens Of vice in the vicinity of military posts
There depraved men and women use every de-
vice in their power to induce soldiers TO patron
ize their places where those who yield to temp
.tation are frequently drugged and robbed II
IS distressing that the prosperity Of the Keepers
of vile resorts is due to the activity of good and
worthy though misguided, citizens, who have
succeeded in abolishing the canteen in the army
With the REIMBURSEMENT Of the canteen which
was the soldiers club, the influence OF these de-
rnoralizing resorts near army posts would be
greatly reduced and many of them would soon
disappear"

TRIALS ARE NUMEROUS.

The general then called attention to the trial
record of last year which totals more than
-trfzl apiece for every man in the Department OF
the East, this great number. Of course, being

of soldiers who patronized the saloons near the
