vacating Army Cantonments.

| The reduction of the enlisted
strength of the regular army to l50,
900 men has made it necessary for the
war department to close number Of
the army environments which it con.
structed during the war with Germany
and which have been garrisoned and
used by regular forces since the armi-
stice. The environments to be vacated
are Camp Devens, Mass; Sherman, O.;
Grant, H.. Pike, Ark; Meade, Md
Jackson, S. c., and Bragg, n. c, In
carrying out its policy of retrenchment
and reorganization, the war depart
ment proposes to retain one canton
ment in the east, one in the west, one
in Texas Ito Mexican border and one
in the center of the country; the camps
selected being respectively Camp Dix,
n. j.. Lewis, Wash; Travis, Tex, and
Knox, Ken, The plan for vaeating the
seven cantonments calls for the with
drawal from them of all regular troops,
and the salvaging of greater part of
the buildings. The land, however, is to
be retained, together with the water
and the sewerage systems, and the
lighting and heating plants, in order
that these camps may be used for
citizens military training camps, should
appropriations in the future be avail
able
The seven environments which are
soon to be abandoned have performed
their share in writing the military his
tory of the nation. Like the divisions
which they housed, these camps are

ticipation in the World war: and like
the combat divisions, their names will

New England certainly will never for

my in governmental expenditures, per-
haps the most urgent need of the hour,
demands that the American taxpayers
be saved from the expense of maintain
ing in operation an unnecessarily large
number of army eantonments. The va
eating of these cantonments will make
possible considerable annual saving,
and the taxpayer should eventually
reap the benefit of this.

GERMANS DRINKING HEAVILY.
Consumption of Wines and Liquors
Cause Apprehension.

| Berlin, Aug. l.-Consumption Of
wines and liquors has been increasing
so rapidly in Germany since the war
that the Reichstag has directed the
drafting of law, to be introduced at
the September session, to regulate the
traffic The law also will check q
growing increase in the number of sa-
looms which, in Berlin particularly,
has been so rapid that even the mod
crates say the health and morals of
the people are endangered.
The crime wave which has been
sweeping the country for many months,
filling the jails of every city and Sc
verely taxing the resources OF the po.
lice, is attributed by many TO the
drink craze" and especially to the
more general use, among the poorer
Germans of cheap cognscs, green whis-
kies, gin and other hard liquors" The
Germans, in fact, are gradually losing
their old reputation as beer drinkers
although an abundance of beer is OBJ
tainable.
Practically all the cafes and wine
rooms Of Berlin are installing Amer
lean bars" and even the high priced
cabarets, where once only best wines
were served at tables for which a
charge was made, now have long ma
hogany bars. against which the Gus
toner may lean, with his feet on a
brass foot rail and drink as long as he
has the price of drink or the bar
tender will trust him.
There is no charge for place at
the bar but to sit at the tables il is |
to drink champagne, or
some other wine of similar price, with |
profit to the proprietor. |
The consumption of champagne has
all previous records dur
ing the past 10 months, mounting TO
more than 100000 bottles. The prin-
ripal rendezvous of the heavy and
habitual champagne drinker is the
night saloon" which does not open
until late afternoon or early evening
1ut continues serving its customers
until early morning, although the Off
,ial closing hour is 1880 at night.
