A|NSWORTH IS GLOOMY
ABOUT FUTURE OF ARMY
Has Little Hope for Restoring Canteen.
Deserters Will Increase Till

Considerable attention is devoted to
the desertions from the army, and the
canteen, by Maj. Gen. F. c. Ainsworth.
in his second annual report. He says.
in part:
Those who know how the canteen
came to be abolished are not hopeful
of its restoration: there is no likelihood
of any such increase in the soldier s
pay as will Offset the greater induce
ments offered in civil pursuits.
Enlistment in the army in time Of
peace Is not uncommonly regarded as
evidence OF worthlessness on the part
of the recruit.
THE deserter suffers little or no loss
of caste by his offense. and IS seldom
without friends and sympathizers TO
shield him from arrest.
1T Is safe to predict that desertion
from the army will continue TO be ex-
cessive until there shall have been a
radical change of public sentiment
toyard the army. and until the deserteI
shall come TO be regarded as the crimi-
nal that he is''

But the trouble Is that while we eat

stomach, from abuse and overwork,
does not properly digest and assimilate

remain thin and under weight; the d.
