Guardsmen of Detroit when they
hold their next encampment at Gray

local officers discussed the PROPOSE
tions. Friday night. there was prac.
tically a unanimous expression In
favor OF abolishing the canteen.
Liquor has done little flowing in
the camps OF recent years. the on
GERS emphasized, and yet they say,
the public retains the notion that
carousing is one of the chief engage
ments Of the militiamsn when they
are attending their 'encampments.
SO, they say, the best thing to do to
overcome the public impression is
to eliminate liquor entirely.
Regular army officers who inspect
ed the camp OF state soldiers at the
last encampment found order pre-.
vailing In a high degree. and special
comment was made upon the alb
sence OF liquor indulgence. but the
officers believe complete elimination
Of the canteen is the only sure way
Of guarding against the dangers Of
liquor.

taking advantage OF the sentiment
In favor of preparedness to gain re-
cruits for the militia.
