RMYCANTEEH
AS NOW OPERATED
An AID TO MORALE
EVILS RAMPANT IN CIVIL WAR
DAYS NOW GIVE WAY 70 IN.
FLUENCES OF Refinement. =
PROTECTING IS ABOLISHED
Huts for Men Of All Creeds Abound
Where Moral and Spiritual We'll
fare Is Considered.

Old soldiers who bemoaned the pass
ing OF the army canteen of other days
are opening their eyes now and look
ing upon the growth of something in
its place that is far better from every
angle or viewpoints glorified can
teen which succors the morals as well
as the body and gives wholesome d.
version, comforts, and recreation to
the fighting men.
Our lear old heroes of the Civil War
will tell you that the canteen of their
days had many serious defects. The
canteen was the gathering place for
the boys both of the Blue and the
Gray, and while it served a necessary
purpose in supplying the knicknacks,
sweets and small comforts ever dear
to the heart of the soldier. it was also
the source of riotous dissipation.
They were conducted by army sut:
lers and camp followers who were con-
~scienceless p~rofteers as a class. They
mulcted the soldiers, sold them the
vilest liquors, promoted gambling and
We're largely responsible for camp i'm
morality.
Veterans will admit they saw fine
young men so into the army and come
out moral wrecks through having sue
cumbed to the lures of the convivial
canteen. This was true, in slighter
degree, even in the Spanish-American
war.
1t has remained for the great worla
war to put in the field through civilian
agencies the glorified canteen COM
bining all the virtues of the old style
with a thousand Improvements con.
ducive to wholesome fun, better morale
and personal catering to the individual
wants Of the soldiers and sailors.
This canteen is the hut of the Y. NJ.
c. A. or Y. w. c. A., the knights of
Columbus, Salvation Army or Jewish
Welfare roard, along with the War
Camp Community Service and the
American Library Association.
The army canteen of today is op-
Grated, mo- by profteers or disciples
of cant who yea their religion on
their sleeves, but by earnest, cheerful
men and ONE who are risking their
lives and giving unselishly of their
means and time to make our boys lot
more endurable-to give them whole
some entertainments, plenty of good
fun in a moral atmosphere, and rome
of the good things that remind them
of home.
Will you help. during the campaign
from Nov. II to IS, to prove to the
world that the canteen of the Ameri-
can Army and Navy is the best ever
known?
