I1L—The abolition | of beer halls at the national soldiers’ homes did not make for sobriety and re-| ligious observances among the veterans, | | according to the report of the inspection, ubmitted to congress by the secretary of war. This report says that there were 1.006 more trials for drunkenness in the various homes in 1909 than there were in 190§ when | the beer halls prevailed. or nearly 2 per| cent. There was one charge of drunken- | ness for every 47 men this year as against | one for every 6.5 men in 1905. | “Evidently suppression of beer balls at| homes has not tended to promote sobriety, but the contrary.” says the Inspector | Neither did the veterans go to church more frequently or regularly than when the intoxicating bevereges were easily acces- sible. In 1906 says the report, the re- 58 per cemnt and in 1908 it was but 17.97. The cost of maintenance of the veterans Increased over last year from $173 per mem- ber to $184 per member. The inspector's also renews the recommendation that the eligibility of admission to homes be extended to volunteer veterans who served less than twenty weeks and later | became physically disabled “The rapidly diminishing membership | leaves ample room.” concludes the report How They ot "Em.
