enough to pay his weekly nickel to the
probation officer, Abraham Wallack, II
years old, of A Mercer street, is in jail

Goldberg, 121 South Orange m
yesterday and asked il he could chop
some wood. Goldberg agreed willingly
enough. He had just put a roll of 1872

back ROOM, and he naturally felt good
natured.

was getting on, however, the boy had
disappeared. So had the money.
Piainclothesman Kaas arrested Wal
lack after the boy had gone to a local
theatre. In the Fourth Precinct Police

The sinkinD of the British submarine
boat, A-3. yesterday afternoon brings
to mind the prophecy of John p. Hol-
land, of 3S Newton street, this city,
who invented the first practical sub
marine, and who stated some time ago
that if the powers continued to build
that particular type of boat such dis
asters We're inevitable.
IF the boat had been built according
to my design said MI. Holland last
night, this accident would have been
practically impossible He said he
had often warned the governments of
this and other countries that the So
called improvements on his boat were
dangerous. He submitted his statement
to the United States Board of Naval
Construction shortly after the sinking
Of Submarine Al in almost the same
place that the submarine went down
yesterday, when fifteen lives were lost.

MISS RICHARDS said in part;
Probably the trouble was because of
the name ~'canteen.' 1t was an unfor-
tunate name. Although Shakespeare
asks: What's in a Nance as though
the answer were to be nothing in
the instance of the capteen the name
was probably the reason why so many
persons got a wrong idea as to what
it was. The canteen really was Moth
ing more than a soldiers club and
store combined.
$50 nan women, though. got the
Idea that the army canteen mean that
Uncle Sam provided a gallon of
whiskey every morning for his soldier
boys that they united TO do away
with what they thought wss an awful
evil, And it would have been an awful
evil and it would have been right for
them to have persuaded Congress to
prevent it if what they thought about
ii was true.
'But the real facts were that the
army canteen was the post exchange
where the men might meet to play
games, to read and to eat, always
under the supervision CT an officer,
and that the bar. and l am giving it
the worst name / could, 0 see, the
bar permitted them TO buy beer and
some light wines, claret n sherry.
But there were strict orders given
against any man ever being allowed
to take too much and this rule could
not be violated. Whiskey was never
sold.
"Tlnose who have all the facts in
connection with the army canteen
know that it had the direct effect of
.wiping out drunkenness among the en-
listed men. The law permitting the
army canteen was repealed in 1901 and
statistics show that Drunkenness
among United States soldiers has in
creased alarmingly. With no place on
the army reservations to go to where
they could get a sandwich and a glass
Of beer, the only recourse for the men
was to the saloons and brothels that
soon sprang up in sickening number
just outside the reservations. The SOL
diers are not saints, and the taking
away of their canteen didn't mean that
they were going to stop d~rinking-on
the contrary 1t meant that they would
surely go where tHey couiu puy "oise'
And they have.

as long as they are soldiers and men.
and not plaster saints. So the advo-
Gates of justice for the soldier have
united to see that he gets his canteen
back. The mothers. wives and daugh-
ters of officers and enlisted men in the
army, supported by many physicians
of national repute, have prepared a pc
tition for presentation to Congress at
this session urging the restoration of
the caiteen. The National Society for
