I, ' t I i M ,WMf Desertions, Dope Pleads 4 Pkystoal Demoralisation At trlbateel to I.oaa of Social Mli Place. Did congress make a mistake In taking th army canteen away from the soldlersT Does this account for all or part of the remarkable Increase m desertions during the laat five years? i he rantn detriment or a benefit to an army post? These questions are discussed In the New Tork Sunday press by Louis Duchea a former cavalry man .of the United States army, whose experience In the service and knowledge of conditions lend weight to his views. The writer cites official records showing- the Increase In desertions and drunkenness, the extensive use of "dope In the form of morphine, cocaine, opium eto with resulting Increased Insanity-facts frequently pointed out by army officers In sn effort to substitute the rule of reason for unreasoning restriction. What was the army canteen? The canteen was the social club of the soldiers, conducted solely by enlisted men along the same lines that officers' clubs are con ducted. Only beer and soft drinks were handled, the stronger alcoholic liquors beln excluded. During the afternoons and evenings the men off duty gathered there, played games, chatted and met their friends, making the dull rouUne of military life less irksome. Everything about the canteen was managed by a commissioned of fleer, with a noncommissioned officer In Immediate charge. Insuring good order at all times. What Followed. Today the canteen is no more." says the retired cavalry man. "The enlisted man no longer has his social club. Congress, by giving In to the whim of temperance organisations unacquainted with Inside conditions In the army, practically com pelled the soldiers who drank, and many who didn't, to rua to saloons and dives outside the posts. At the same time It abolished the enlisted men's social club. Now, Instead of drinking beer, which underwent close Inspection when the can teen existed, the soldiers drink "rotgut" and "varnish." When the canteen existed a large per centage of the regulars seldom left the army posts. They found companionship and social Intercourse among their comrades In the canteen. Today most of the soldiers spend their spare time In and around the dives and dens In the vicinity of the army posts and beyond military inspectors. As a rule, the soldiers who were subject to excessive drinking could be taken care of when the canteen existed. The officers In charge had them spotted and watched that they did not drink too much, which was seldom when the drinking was con fined to beer. Then the canteen was lo cated a few yards from the barracks, and the Intoxicated ones could be sent to their bunks or placed In the guard house until they sobered up. The canteen officers ex ercised the same authority as a police of ficer In civil life. Besides, when the habitual drunkards could draw checks for beer during the month, they generally spent all their money in the canteen be fore payday and. therefore, did not have any money left to carouse outside the posts. This worked to the advantage of the "mess funds" of the various "outfits," Instead of encouraging the development of a horde of "boot-leggers", and parasites, which may be observed around every army post. Results A r on ad Poata, Today the outskirts of nearly every army post proves the mistake and the folly of abolishing the canteen. Now very army post, nearly, has Its "can-, dump." In the lockers of the soldiers may be found tin buckots which are used to carry beer .from .these, "candumps." At Jefferson barracks, about eight miles from Bt. Louis, Mo., there Is one that Is a disgrace to the state and to the nation. It is located Just outside the military reservation. No police officers are there to see that the laws are obeyed. In and around It scores of the most debased women live from one month s end to the other and leech upon the soldiers. Jef ferson barracks is a recruiting rendesvous where "rookies" are given the first rudi ments of military training, and thla Is a fine environment In which to begin their army careers. At the army posts where there are no "can dumps," saloons and "speak-easles" answer the same purposes. Or, what Is worse, "boot-legging" Is car ried on to a frightful degree. Responsibility for Desertions. There la no doubt that the abolition of the canteen Is directly and Indirectly re sponsible for a large percentage of the In crease In desertions In the last few years. In the latest report of Adjutant General F. C. Alnsworth we learn that nearly 5,000 soldiers deserted In the last fiscal year Think of It! Filling themselves with pois onous intoxicants, which take away their physical, mental and moral stamina; they become discouraged. The routine drills and vigorous exercises become burdensome to them. They take "French leave" to escape, many never to return unless com pelled to under guard of a civil officer, who Is anxious to get the $50 reward offered for a deserter's apprehension. Those who return after a few days' ab sence without permission are "slammed in the mill," where the spirit Is again crushed and the climb to honor and re spect made more difficult than ever. Caught end sentenced for desertion, they are no longer cltixens of the United States truly men without a country. These de serters, then, make fine material for crlm-lnals. The use of "dope" and the spread of cJaJaglous diseases are due. In a very large degree, to the use of poisonous In toxicants which the soldiers get In these "can dumps" and dives. When the sys tem Is undermined with such poisons, the Individual becomes the prey of all sorts of vices. At Presidio, California, last year, It was stated by an army surgeon In charge, that per cent of the men at that Pt are addicted to the use of cocaine, morphine, opium, etc There are oth?r posts In which a similar state of affairs exists. It Is, Indeed, no wonder that In sanity Is Increasing among the men of the regular army. When 90 per cent of the army officers want the canteen restored to the enlisted men It Is about time that congress recog nises Its mistake. Those In a position to know have learned that by depriving the soldier of his beer and his social club. In stead of encouraging temperance among the regulars the government has encour aged drunkenness and paved the way for a score or more of evils. Even ths offi cers' wives are demanding that the can teen be re-established. How long will It be until congress realises Its mistake? Great Lack. "By th' powers. It's born lucky I am!" "Phwy doy' think so?" "I was hit by a automobile Just as I was startuV fr th' shoti this morntn'. It made me stagger, an' a cop pinched me for beln' drunk.

HER ILLNESS MAY UPSET PLANS Btgam of Bhopal, Rich and Veiled, a Royal Guest of Britain that Excites Public Curiosity to High Pitch. BT LiADY MART MA N"WA RI NO. LONDON. June S. (Special to The Bee.) The past month has been a season of sadness for Queen Alexandra, and the beloved consort of the late King Edward J has shown the strain. Her majesty's health has been feeble, so feeble in fact that fears are still felt that there may be a collapse, which will' mar. If not cause a postponement, of the coronation exercises. Be gam of Bhopal Arrives. The begum of Bhopal, a rich, veiled In dian princess. Is now In England for the coronation. Her visit has many elementa of mystery about it For one thing, thla wealthy princess never appears In public without a heavy veil that prevents ob servers from seeing what manner of woman 'he Is who rules over nearly a million people and 7,000 square miles of territory. Bhe has brought over with her from India a large suite, which includes priests, a physician, an astrologer and a cook. It is part of the priests' duties to attend the killing of chickens for the princess' con sumption. Her Jewels are Jewel-studded ornaments, and other utensils have been placed In the care of a bank. No fewer than lM packages were needed to bring over the special dresses and foods. The begum waa received by the king and waa afterward a conspicuous figure at the court. She wore a robe made in one piece. In the veil over her head and face are two eye holea. She spent the night after the court at a London hotel, where ahe was waited on at meala by the maids, as It Is her custom never to appear be fore a man unveiled. Waltera were, there fore, banished from her presence. The ruler of Bhopal Is always a woman. The husbands of the begums have usually been more than high officers of state and have never had anything like the position of a prince In a European country. Thla feminine eminence la the more strange because Bhopal la a strictly Mahommedan state, and it Is not generally supposed that the prophet ever contemplated the possibility of a female ruler. Victoria's Rale Divorcees. It has been stated In the press lately that In Queen Victoria's reign "divorced persons" were not permitted to appear at court. Thla rule was enforced until about the middle of the "70s. Queen Victoria then decided (after consultation with the late Lord Hertford, who was lord cham berlain, and the late Lord Sydney) that ladies who had divorced their husbands, their own conduct having been blameless, should be allowed to come to drawing rooms after making a special application for permission to attend. Whenever a lady la this position desired to appear at court she waa required to send In a report of the proceedings in her case, which was submitted to Queen Victoria herself, and it was by no means a matter of course for the application to be granted. The wife of a very distin guished man, who had divorced her first husband, her own conduct having always been unimpeachable, had her application refused, to her intense and lasting dis appointment. The fact was, that Queen Victoria had no sympathy with sufferers from matrimonial troubles, and In deal ing with these rases her decision mainly depended In reality upon the family con nections of ths applicant.
