Chicago officials may dotorminq
whether tho organization is sufficient
ly strong and financially able to carry
out tho work which a canteen may bo
called upon to do.
Tills canteen will extend Its service
to troops passing through, but will
not apply to tho Individual soldiers
who pass trhough on every train, In
other words tho canteen will be o'pon
only at such times as troop trains
pass through, or when ono or moro
cars of soldiers aro attached to a reg
ular tran. Should tho ' office in
charge telegraph ahead that a meal
was doslred for so many soldiers, it.
is tho duty of tho canteen to furnish
such meal, and in this -case tho ex
pense of serving the meal would be
charged to tho government If, how
over, no such ordors are sept then the
soldiers will be furnished with coffee,
sandwiches, tobacco and magazines

Soventv women have enlisted In this
locaf canteen servico. Those havo
