WAR DEPARTMENT
OPPOSES v. c. 7. U.
Army Chaplain Defends the
Canteen of the Soldiers.

Boston. Aug. 1.-Two papers read at a
session of the fortieth annual convention
Of the Catholic Total Abstinence Union
OF America this morning aroused a great
amount Of enthusiasm among the dele
gates and visitors, and a rising vote Of
thanks was rendered 10 Rev. Father G.
J. Waring. a chaplain OF the United
States army, for a brilliant paper. in
which he defended the American soldier
He pointed out many OF the causes that
led to drinking by soldiers. and said one
Of the chief causes was the ostracism to
which he was subjected.
Father Waring appeared on the plat
form in his army uniform. He said that
he had been sent by orders from the
War Department and came as it's official
representative. He said that the w. c.
didn't understand the soldier.
The soldier. he said, IS dIsdained.
desPised. and sighted for no other reason
than that he has seen 1T 70 enroll himself
in his cOuntrys service. Not infreauently
men enlist because they are not welcome
at home, some because of dull times,
and some others because they have been
disappointed in love- II soldiers had the
same opportunities for being good as
other young men they would put the
latter to shame by their better morals
Soldiers should not be judged as a whole
by the lowest Of their numbers.
Drinking is the worst of the evils OF
the soldiers, the chaplain said. and 30
per cent of them use liquors Now no
man who is known to be a hard drinker
can get promotion in the army. In the
barracks the soldier is under the eye OF
his chaplain, but outside he is subject
10 temptations.
"First-class theaters do not want
them. Many hotels and restaurants do
not want them. and on the street they
are looked upon askance by many peo-
pie. No wonder the soldiers are driven
20 the saloon and other evil resorts. 1t
is the ostracism Of our soldiers that has
degraded them. This condition is largely
due TO depriving them OF the canteen.
where they might get a drink OF beer
without exposing themselves 70 the worst
evils of the saloons and bad houses
This abolition of the canteen was a great
mistake"
Moral suasion was the chaplaln's sug-
gestion for helping to make soldiers more
temperate. To this end he advocated a
campaign Of addresses anu literature by
the union among the men Of the army.

YALE WINS IN
 FINAL BALL GAME
Corey and M'Laughlin Chosen Captains Respectively of Blue and Crimson Teams For
 Next Season

In a game which just gurgled with effervescent emotion Yale beat liar ward at American League Par:s in New York yesterday by a score of 10 to g. 1t was the deciding game of a series of three. Yale won the first in New Haven, Harvard the sec ond in Cambridge and the third game was played according to the ancient custom, on neutral ground The pie turesque, gayly-attired crowd of 5000 enjoyed the up-and-down, in-and-out uncertainty of the contest and dur ing the afternoon there were times when the Yale crowd tuned itself to the highest pitch, and a moment lat CT Harvard would burst into a deliri- um of delight when the Crimson would forge to the front Yale took the last yell and the best one. Verify, you may say, it was not keen, top notch baseball, but there's no deny ing the fact that it was exciting, en- tertaining and kept the crowd on it's toes at just the times when they should have been resting comfortably in their seats.
 The teams chose their captains for next season last night

JAPANESE HEROIsM.
The Brave Record of ths Less sf .

The Brave Record of the Lees sf .
 Submarine Vessel.
 sub5oined Is the translation of . mes sage written by Lieutenant Tsutona Sakuma, who was in command of fhs Japanese submarine No. 6, which foundered while maneuvering in Hiro- shima bay. The message was found fin the coming tower of the submarine after she had been brought to ths sur face:
 '.It is with the deepest regrst that write this message to describe ths loss of this boat with my fellow ofncsrs and men, due to my own fault l would here specially mention that all steps have been taken to raise her, my comrades and men working ear nestly and calmly til the end I or dered the ship te dive with the engine running, but as found she went down too far tried to shut the valves which admit the sea water to the ballast tank, but unexpectedly the chain work ing these valves broke, and was left helpless, unable 10 control ths boat Meanwhile the tanks filled with water, and the boat went down at an incline of about twenty-five degrees. After striking the bottom the water begzn rushing in, the switchboard was frn- mersed in water, all electric lights went out, the fuses burnt away. and the boat was filled with poisonous gzsess so that we experienced the greatest difficulty in breathing.
 Under these conditions we worke4 our very utmost with the hand pumps to empty the main ballast tank, which, I believe, we succeeded in doing, sl- though we could not read the gauges owing to darkness. No electric cur rent was available. as I mentioned be- fore, and our last hope of rising to the surface lay Tn working the hand pumps only.
 T write this in the dim light coming from the coming tower-1145 a. m
 "I earnestly beseech bis majesty to grant me forgiveness and to succor the families of my comrades and men who have lost their lives in this per ishing boat. This is my only wish. 12:30 p. n.
 Ut is with the utmost difficulty that I can breathe. though l am sure ws must have blown out the gasoline en- tireIy from the tanks. I cannot con- tinue any more. 12:40 p. m."-LondoT Times.
