ONLY FLAG AT HALF-MAST Old Custom Dropped at Death of Red.| field Proctor, Whose Reform of Army Conditions Made the Soldiers Grateful. By GEORGE CLINTON. Washington.—Visitors to Washing. ton who happen to get here at a time' when some officer of high rank in the government has died express surprise that the department building in which Le was employed or the war or the naval office which he may have served in the field are not draped in mourn-, ing. It is no longer the custom in Washington to drape the department buildings in black when a chief official ! or some former official dies. The only sign of mourning in the capltal at the time when the Maine heroes were bur- jed and at the time, say, when Ad- miral Robley D. Evans died, was the half-masted flags. “For years it was the custom to drape the buildings in black when any man of present cr past government service died. When the death of former Secretary of War Redfield proc- tor of Vermont was announced, no or- der was issued for the display of mourning emblems on the war depart- ment. This was the first time in the history of the country that black was not displayed on such an occasion. If there was no exterior symbol of sorrow there was sorrow in the interior, for the enlisted men of the army, and the officers, too, for that matter, held Proctor’s memory grateful, for he did much for the service. It was under the Proctor regime that the canteen was established in tne army, but as is well known, the canteen no longer exists, the opposi- tion of the temperance organizations of the country having been successful in inducing congress to take beer off the “daily bill of fare” of the serv- ice. Proctor himself at heart may not have been in favor of the canteen, but he thought it was better than the old sutler’s store system, and he suc- ceeded in remo‘ving the latter from the service, Conditions Proctor Changed. When Redfield Precter went into Harrison’s cabinet there were what was known as sutler’s stores at the | recruiting rendezvous of the country. Personal knowledge enables me to write of the conditions on Davids Is- land, New York harber, at the time. The recruit who came to Davids Is- land practically was compelled to buy certain parts of his equipment at the sutler’s. It did not make any difference whether or not some soldier, leaving for his post, was willing to turn over some of his supplies to the recruit— | the recruit had to buy, or it was inti- mated to him plainly that he must buy, cleaning material, button sticks and half a dozen other things of the man who sold them as a side line to the selling of beer. The result was that the recruits many a time spent money for things they did not need and the sutler wax- ed wealthy. The sutler sold beer, and there was no restriction placed on the amount that he was allowed to sell to each man. On pay days.the sut- ler's store at David’s Island was a sight. In that day there were few re- strictions placed on enlistments, and g0 long as a man was physically quali- fied for the service he was taken in with a few questions. In the Old Sutler’'s Store. Within two hours after the men were paid off at Devil's Island the bar- room in the sutler’s establishment was filled with men drunk to the fighting point. Then the sutler, wholly re- sponsible for the condition of things, howled for the guard, and a corporal and two or three privates would rush to the place and clean it out. As a result of the desire of the sutler to make money quickly there were 42 men placed in the guardhouse one day. Proctor went into Harrison’s cab- inet as war secretary and reforms be- gan. The sutler’s store with its un- || of ally limited beer went the way things bad, and the canteen with its limited -beer and the provision that all profits should go to the improvement of the soldiers’ mess took its place. Restrictions were placed upon enlist- ments, and the Liverpool wharf rats and the deserters from (orelgn serv- ice found that there was no place for them in the army under the stars and stripes. “Food was better and there was the heglnnlng of the vast improve- ment that Has:come in the quarters for the soldfers.
