Hits at Canteen.

Gorgas takes a shot at the army can
teen"
The fact that the rate of alcoholism
was lower during 1913 than in any year
since 1870 strengthens the contention. "
Gen. Gorgas says. "of those who disap-
prove the restoration of the canteen.''
A brew known as near beer" sup
posed to contain not more than per
cent of alcohol. is still sold at some posts,
Gen. Gorgas admits. but he is of the
opinion that even the demand for this
decoction is on the wane.
1T is believed" he declares, that the
army will be we'll rid Of any system Of
supplying alcoholic drinks. There really
appears TO be no more reason why they
should be sold on government reserva-
tions TO soldiers than there appears to
be any reason for the regulation issue Of
grog of former days"
Another reason for the decrease in al
cOholism, Gorgas says, is the effect pro-
duced by the act of Congress stopping
the pay of officers and enlisted men when
incapacitated for duty on account of sick
ness due to drug addiction, alcoholism, or
other misconduct"

Opposes Big Army.

The proposition to INCREASE the strength
of the army and navy found small favor
with the Tax Reform Association OF the
District of Columbia at its meeting IN
the Public Library Wednesday night
Strong opposition to any larger fighting
force than the United States now has
was expressed by the speakers, the pro-
posed increase being combated on the
ground that since the vast armies and
navies OF European countries. while pro-
fessionally raised in the interests OF
peace. have instead proved an incitement
to war" and since about So per cent OF
all Federal taxes are now devoted to war
preparations or pensions resulting from
wars" the proposition to further increase
the strength of the fighting forces Of this
country is not commendable.
The stand recently taken by the Amer
ican Federation of Labor was indorsed
and the association "commends its ex-
ample to lovers of peace everywhere"

The special committee on redistrict-

RICHMOND SOON TO
CONTROL PINE CAMP
FINANCE COMMITTEE TO Dis
4
CUSS MATTER AT MEETING
ON TUESDAY.

There Is hardly any probability OF
the city turning down the petition OF
the trustees OF Pine Camp asking that
the city to assume the responsible
of conducting and maintaining that
institution.
The ordinance committee has the
question before it, and the finance
committee will probably act upon the
measure at its meeting on Tuesday
night.
At the discussion of the question
OF the purchase of a farm by the
Council committee on utilities 1t was
seen that members of that committee
had opposed the further expenditure
of money for the purpose of pur-
chasing a farm when there was one
already owned by the city.
Pine Camp is located on that farm.
and the smallpox hospital takes up a
small portion OF the farm. The quee-
ton of the removal of Pine Camp
from its present location was dis
cussed. and il was shown that the
principal objections to it's present To-
cation came from residents of Ginter
Park. who do not desire the camp nor
the hospital in their neighborhood.
Major l.. T. Christian stated at the
meeting that he would gladly vote at
the proper time to have the city take
over the care OF the patients at Pine
Camp, and he felt satisfied that many
other members of City Council would
do the same.
At present the camp Is mainly
maintained by voluntary subscrip-
tons There have fallen to sucsf a
small sum that the gentlemen acting
in the capacity of committeeman, have
asked the city to take full charge
of the affairs at the, camp.
