CANTEEN UNTIL MARCH 1

ITS LIFE IS EXTENDED Authorities of National Military Homes Find a Provision in Law that Will Enable Them to Contine Beer Hall. Dayton, O., July 5. (Spl.) There was considerable satisfaction felt at the local Soldiers' Home and doubtless at all the national homes yesterday, when it was discovered that the canteen would not have to be discontnued immediately, but that it would be allowed to exist for a period of six months or so that the authorities would be given some time within which to form an. estimate of the amount needed to reimburse the various national institutions for the loss they will sustain financially by the elimination of the canteen. The fact was noted at the local home yesterday when the daily con gresslonal record was received and ex amined by Governor Thomas, who discovered that an amendment had been attached to the original amendment by which it was provided that the measure would not go into effect uu" March 1. The amendment is to the etfect that the appropriation will be given to the various institutions regardless of the canteen until March, 1907, when it will be closed, but this will give ample time for the friends of the home to determine the amount of the appropriation that will be needed to supply the deficiency.
