The committee has not barred the door
to voluntary woman workers as super
vfsors, but in the main relies on paid
labor.
Since the work is not complete 1t Is
not possible to give many figures, ex-
cept of an approximate kind; but the
extent of the committees operations
may be grasped from the statement
that the turnover for the canteens at
home is over f15.O0O,OOo annually. The
canteens with the expeditionary forces
are run on different lines, but the pur-
chasing for them Is done by the COM
mittee: they have an annual turnover
of f10.000,00O.
The income of the canteens is per-
haps as good an indication as any of
the successful work of the committee.
One-third of the cash value of the SOL
diers' ratfons Is spent in the canteens.
on extras to the issued ration-that Is
TO say. on fish, butter. sausages and SO
on. When the army canteen committee
took over control. Is per cent of the
tak1ngs was ration money, the remain
ing 20 per cent being from the soldiers
own purchases. Today the proportion of
ration money and pocket money in the
receipts Is about equal. The spending,
therefore. among the troops in their
own canteens instead of outside has
doubled since the army canteens COM
mlttee began to assume control.

Judge Hamilton Of Federal Court at
San Juan Decides Test Case
on Question.
Especial Correspondence of The Star
and New York WORLDLY

SAN JUAN. Porto Rico. June 10.-An
opinion of sweeping importance, holding
that Porto Rico is a fully incorporated
territory, as part Of the United States:
and that the Constitution Of the United
States is wholly applicable here. has been
handed down by Judge Peter Hamilton OF
the federal court.
By this decision, from which an appeal
will be taken to the United States Su-
preme Court. the fifth amendment TO the
Constitution. providing that mo person
shall be held to answer for capital or
otherwise infamous crime unless on pre-
sentiment or indictment Of a grand jury,
applies to Porto Rico. should it stand a
grand Jury law and one providing for the
trial by Jury of civil and msdemeanor
cases, as provided by the fifth amend
ment, must be enacted by the insular
legislature.
In substance. Judge Hamlton's opin-
ion is that there cannot be two kinds OF
American citizenship. one which entities
the citizen to all of the rights and PRIV
ileges under the Constitution and one ex-
tending only part of these privileges.
The opinion says:
Those formerly called Porto Ricans are
now fully Americans in every sense OF
the word and can claim all political and
personal rights which Americans can
claim in territories incorporated into the
Union; that is to say, in districts made
part of the United States
The Jones act. or the granting OF Amer
lean citizenship, was, in the opinion OF
the court. the final act of Congress which

States

New Citizens Are Pleased

Judge Hamlton's decision is particular
~ welcomed by many of the new Ameri-
to believe that the Constitution was not
wholly applicable here and that therefore
the American citizenship Congress- had
conferred upon them was kind OF sec
separate and distinct from citizens in con-
tinental United States. 80
1t was the contention of the attorney
general. through his argument, that the
Jones ACT dld not make "A new kind or
class OF American citizens. but that Porto
Ricans. as American citizens. we're en-
titled to all the rights and privileges of
other American citizens in an organized
but unincorporated territory of the United
States.

Tapia as to start a test case as to whether
the Constitution is wholly applicable here.
Judge Hamilton held Tapia was entitled
to writ, but he postponed the execu-
ton of the order until August IS. 50 that
days prior to that. may have an oppor-
tunity to enact a grand jury law.
The opinion of Judge Hamilton is fur

to the opinion of the Supreme Court in

that Porto Rico was an organized terri

GET MOST

British Army Canteens Prac-

COMMITTEE IN CONTROL
BY VICTOR MacCLURE,
Special Correspondence of The star

Copyright. 1917 by Press Publishing Company
New York World.)
LONDON. May 30.-Iu the early days
of the war it was a stock joke with the
newly enlisted men to refer to the army
as "a big firm" They said: NO chance
of getting the sack here, and the pay
is sure
A recent development in the work OF
the big firm" brings the jest back TO
mind, the comforting on the army can
teens committee of new powers. Here
the army has started huge business
organization for the benefit of its sol
ders From November of last year the
army canteens committee was empow-
cred by the army council to assume con-
troll of the regimental institutes ana
canteens at home and at the permanent
stations abroad
With the growth of the army since
the outbreak of war-and most people
know by this time what an astounding
growth it has been-there has sprung
up an enormous number of canteens.
About 1900 of them exist throughout
the United Kingdom. These We're pre-
viouSly run by contractors under the
supervision of the army canteens COM
mittee. The process of transfer to the
complete control of the committee has
from necessity been gradual. but by
this time few of the canteenS are not
supplied and administered by that body.

It Was a Big Undertaking.

Naturally enough, to be carried out
fairly. without interruption in the
supplies to units with the valuation
of the existing stocks and the rear
rangement of the STATS, the work has
been rather stiff. Where it was pos
sible the STATS employed by the con-
tractors have been retained, but the
conditions and the conduct of the can
teens have been subjected to drastic
changes. 1t is hoped the transfer of
all the canteens will be finished soon
and attention is being directed to
acquiring the control of permanent
Institutes and certain canteens at sta
tions abroad which are still worked
by contractors.
1t will be seen readily that to create
this huge business concern and to
find an efficient organization to work
it has demanded no little concentra-
ton and energy. The men who are
the army canteens committee have
brought to bear on the task con-
structive methods. organizing ability
and knowledge. already proved in the
sphere of business outside the army.
They. with their staff. have worked
with the utmost enthusiasm. and the
result is that the greatest achieve
est possible time. A great cooperative
or multiple-shop business has been or
gained and is now working at top
pressure.
The benefits that adhere to such a
large concern as this are many. To
buy en- bloc and comparatively is rem
dered possible on very large scale
1t Is possible also to a certain extent
to establish uniform quality as well
as standard prices throughout the
whole system. The committee remains
in touch with every canteen under its
control and knows just exactly how
affairs stand at every corner of IT'S
ramlfcatlons. In this way:

Women Employed in Canteens.

Female labor is being introduced
into the canteeas and considerable prog
ress is being made, despite the diff
culties encountered at the start. There
was, for instance, the difficulty of find
ing suitable accommodations for the
woman workers in the canteen build
ings where no allowance of that sort
was made. The women have been
lodged in the nearest town or village,
In some cases, and the canteen build
ings have been extended in others.

Experts on the Work.

The country is divided into four
teen areas. each of which is split up
into subareas. According to the num-
Der of canteens in these subareas, in
spectors have been appointed The in
spectors visit eight or nine canteens
each every day. or at least thrice week
ly. The inspectors report to the man
ayers of the subareas who transmit
the reports to those in charge of the
larger areas, and they in turn keep the
committee in London advised as to the
progress of affairs. There are also COM
missioned officers reporting to the war
office and the committee has the serv-
ices of trade inspectors, expert in the
matter of food.
Where it is not possible to buy cen
trally. as in the matter of fresh foods
purchasing is done locally. But trans
port is kept to the minimum. case
in point occurs in the rule recently
made by the committee, that beer for
the canteens must not be brought from
over forty miles away. To develop the
production of foodstuffs in the locali-
ties of the canteens a branch of the
committee has been formed. Farmers
are persuaded to put extra land under
cultivation and to sell the produce at
contract prices to the canteens; in
some cases the committee has given
the farmers financial aid to carry out
this scheme. The enthusiasm of this
particular branch of the committee
must be infectious, for we hear of pub
lie school blowing land and putting
down vegetables with the idea of sup
plying the committee at cost price.
