DESCRIPTIONS UNDER BETTER
CONDITIONS.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-The ne
cessity for the restoration of the can
teen in the American army is strongly
set forth in a letter from Dr. Anita
Newcomb MCGEE to Captain j. Walter
Mitchell, of the Spanish American war
veterans association Dr. MCGEE, who
formerly was an assistant surgeon in
the army and later organized a corps
or nurses under the auspices of the
Red Cross society for work among
Japanese soldiers in the Russo Japan
csc war, gives her observations as to
the drink habit among the Japanese
soldiers, and tells of the evil results
following the adjustment of the can
teen in the United States army. DR..
MCGEE says:
Like every one who knows sOme-
favor of giving our American soldiers
their club-called canteen-where they
may enjoy themselves harmlessly. AS
a woman and physician 1 deplore the
horrible results Of making a man seek
his amusements where he is liable to
fall a prey to the worst temptations,
and SO 1 wish you speedy success in
re- establishing the canteen in the
American army.
Tastes Like Sherry.
Instead of our liquors, wines etc,
the Japanese use beverage they pre-
pare themselves, called sake, tasting
like sherry, served hot, but in charac-
ter like the light wines or beer for
merly supplied in our army canteen.
saw this sake in Manchurta, where
it was furnished as part of the ra-
ton, when it was feasible to provide
it, though the quantity was exceed
ingly small so that the effect was
stimulating, not intoxicating. I have
heard that sometimes, when the wea-
Their was bitterly cold. the daily sake
had to be dispensed in the form of a
mans thumb. In Hiroshima, I met
from time to time court officials, who
We're on their way from Toxic to the

the emperor was sending as a gift to
the troops in celebration of some vic
tory This drink was also for sale by
the post traders, and yet the temper

wonder to my nurses and myself We
saw tens of thousands of them, but
never did we see a soldier drunk"

ed. Beyland has the distinction of

still a big delay in messages sent to
Chicago, northwestern and Pacific

UNION JACK WAVING
IN THE QUAKER CITY
Marks United States Navy Re.
Cruiting Station.
is NOT OFTEN DISPLAYED.

The Union Jack is waving in Rich
mond in front of the Central hotel on
Main street. The Union Jack flag
with its forty-five big white stars on a
dark blue field is unfurled to distin-
guish the United States Navy recruit
ing station.
The Jack is a formal sort of a flag.
1t is a distinctly sea going flag for the
United States but notwithstanding this
it is seldom if sever displayed while
ships are at sea. It is displayed in
port at the bow, or front end of the
ship, when the boat is ready for in
spection, but when the anchor is
hauled. the flag is taken down. Meth
er is the Jack displayed when the ship
is being coated, or when the decks are
being scrubbed. 1t is always displayed
on the bow of small boat that is TAX
ing an ambassador or minister TO or
from the ship. The Jack is shown
when court martial is in session on
the ship.
These various regulations do not ap-
ply when the flag is being f1oated in
the breeze here. 1t may be confusing
to Quartermaster Carroll to have to
lower the flag everytime the corridors
in the hotel are being scrubbed.

seen this morning and asked for
statement as TO the course the traction
company intended TO pursue, but he
said that he was unable TO make any
announcement as the company had not
advised him in the matter.
Mr.. Robbins Opinion.
Mr.. Robbins stated that last w-rn an
official of the company called at his
office, but he was not I'm the city, SO
he did not have an opportunity to learn
the plans the company has decided on.
Mr.. Robbins states that in his opinion
the city has no right to order traction
cars TO cease running on Main street.
Mr. Robbins regards interurban cars as
street cars. and he says the Dayton *
Western Is operating on Main street
under a franchise given the Richmond
Street Railway company, which pro-
vides that street cars can be run on
Main street.
Rumors Are Set Afloat.
Engineers Of the traction COMPANY
surveyed the lot at the corner Of Twen-
ty-third and Main streets Tuesday aft
ernoon. and it was reported that the
company intended to locate a freight
and passenger station there. The ac-
tion of the engineers also gave rise to
the report that the company. as soon
as the Main street traction ordinance
became effective. would operate trac-
tion cars from the east to the east cor
poration line. where passengers would
be disembarked and freight unloaded
President Merrill of the board stated
that If IL was the intention OF the COM
pany to locate at Twenty-third and
Main streets freight and passenger
station. it would be unlawful TO use
this station as the corporation line
runs several yards east Of this site.
