One OF the most important state
ments in this article Is that which
brings out the fact that although near
ly 100000 have been appropriated
by Congress, some Of ~ two years ago,
at the prompting of the anti-canteen
forces, to furnish our soldier boys with
amusement rooms and gymnasiums,
no such institutions have yet been
developed at this important post. IL
the officers Of the army had been ord
cred to erect buildings for the sale Of
beer with this money, it Is safe to say
that every post would have been pro-
yided within three months, instead OF
dragging the matter along as now
seems likely, for three years. There
can be reasonable doubt that Congress
will agree with the sentiment that
has been expressed, not only by Gen.
M lies, but by the Secretary OF War,
that before anything is done toward
restoring the beer saloon in the army
the gymnasium and amusement rooms
must have full and fair trial.
