RICHMOND, VA.-Special.-
A discussion of the Army Can
teen" by Brigadier General A S.
Daggett, Of the United States Army,
was made before an audience at the
auditorium of the central Young Mems
Christian Association Thursday night.
The speaker discussed his theme
from the standpoint of the camp and
declared that the army canteen was
menace to discipline among troops
and constituted bar room in bar
racks.
The speaker declared that so far
from supplying the place of the sa-
loon, acting as a deterrent against
a soldier frequenting saloons, the can
teen supplied nothing except the de-
sire for debauch and was an insidious
evil which acted to the detriment OF
the efficiency and personnel of the
army.

After searching everybody in the

When the agglomeration known as

paratively small affair, some two thou
sand miles in length-was laid aside

tors had contributed the capital to
build ana equip IL. and held bonds of
many kinds aggrcgating hfty-odd mil
lion dollars. but the capital stock.
carrying power of control, was left to
the reorganization committee.
This stock, it now appears, Mr.. Har-
riman took over last summer. giving
his / . L for n small amount which
was really in the nature of a coat
check or pawn-ticket, certifying that
the property was in his possession.
II is not an especially flourishing prop
erty. The last annual report shows a
balance at credit OF profit and loss ac-
count of $32.95. But we hope il will
prosper under Mr. Harriman's ad-
ministrative genius. Retrenchment is
the word just now. Searching the
Central OF Georgia's expense account
for the last fiscal year we find that
injuries To persons cost no less than
$231,O92. and clearing wrecks" $44.-
O4O. while stock killed and loss and
damage to property bring the total
waste in this kind up to $493.956, or
CONSIDERABLY more IMAM the net earn .

The Southern Railway--the larger
heir of the Richmond Terminal mess
spent $604,376 last year for injuries
TO persons" and $S1O,475 the year be-
fore. Clearing wrecks and loss and
damage to properly account. with per-
sonal injuries. for q total waste last
year of $2.4O6.72O-which, if it could
have been saved, would have more
than doubled the amount available for
dividends.
Is there not, perhaps. some chance
for retrenchment here? We earnest
ly commend the possibility to Mr. Har-
riman's attention.
