The Canteen Question.

yesterday afternoon a resolution rel
alive to the army canteen, as follows,
was adopted:
Resolved, That we favor the re-
tentipn of the present law, abolishing
the army canteen, as we believe that
the canteen as an institution tends to
increase liquor drinking among our
American soldiers. and to encourage
among them the requirement OF the
appetite for strong drink
we demand the same efficiency and
sobriety behind the guns of the army
and navy as the great railroad COM
panies demand of their employees who
man the trains and locomotives"
In the w. C. 7. U. convention yes
terday mornings session was given
