JAPANESE ARMY Suffers.
Thu Canteen Follows Closely in the
Wake of the Moving
Troops.

One who was with the japanese
army in Manchuria for six months
SAYS: "Old foreign campaigners rs'
marked in the field that no army prom
ably ever had so many canteens IN lts
wake When the army was not
marching there was always canteen
or two not far to the rear OF every
division. When il settled down 10

sometimes Manila cigars.

200 feet back of the Nanshan battery
one day in the seven-day battle OF the
Shaho there was Japanese peddler
selling cigarettes, Chinese sweetcakes
rice and beer to the reserves. During
the same battle the canteens were
never more than three miles back OF
the front line of trenches.
AS the Japanese soldiers pay Is
only s1.36 a month and the army saw
ing banks had, considering that,
phenomenal deposits, there was not
much spending money in the army.
A bottle of beer cost ten cents and
packet of cigarettes about three
cents.
whenever there was triing bat
tie the commander-in-chief would or
der sake distributed as a ration. On
the mikado's birthday year ago one
extra double packet of cigarettes was
distributed to each man in the field.
This cost the emperor more than $15,'
900. Otherwise when the distribution
was possible ten cigarettes a day went
with the regular ration.
"One day in an American periodical
received at camp there was solemn
poem celebrating the abstinence of
the Japanese from drink.
This caused concern among the
Japanese officers, who disliked the
emphasis laid upon the difference be-
tween their army and a European
army and the commissary general
told the foreign observers:
"'Our soldiers like drink as well as
any other soldiers. Sometimes they
need it when they cannot get it and
we send it to them in the trenches

ant at home has a hard enough time
to supply himself with food, he is not
more averse than other people to
strong liquor once he learns the taste
of it. Many man will go home from
the campaign with tastes he never
had before. The manufacture of beer
is still young industry in Japan, but

IS IT TOO WORTHLESSl

~. B. L." in the Kick Column Of
the Jacksonville Metropolis, has the
following on the vagrancy law that was
passed at the last session of the Legis-
lature:
"If there is one law that is absolutely
worthless in it's present form, it is the
vagrant law in this State. 1t is the
easiest to evade of any law know of,
and / have heard the authorities say
that it is almost useless tn arrest per-
sons for this offense. as it is next to
impossible to convict them.
"If a man is arrested for vagrancy
he gets some one to testify to his hav-
ing worked at some one time in his life,
that seems all sufficient, and he regains
his liberty If there is any one law
that makes this city and State suffer
through it's imperfections, it is this one.
and the conditions certainly demand
some remedy at once.
"A man must labor enough to keep a
good full stomach. A vagrant is a per-
son who does not, when he could, make
enough to support himself through his
own efforts. If man can make dol
lar and a half day and works only one
day in the week, he is not earning a
bona fide support. A man who is hungry
is of course more likely to commit a
crime than one who is well fed. II a
man works only one day in seven he
should be made to stay at home the
other six. There is nothing so con-
ducive to crime as idleness, and it is the
duty to break it up so far as our law
makers are concerned, and it is to them
that we look for relief"
