CANTEENS AT CAMPS.
(United Press Associ*tion—Copyright.) MELBOURNE, December 7.
Colonel Foxton, discussing the Defence Bill, said that he had charge of a. camp in Queensland run on temperance lines. There was no canteen on the first night, and. many men walked four miles to get beer. The second night things were even worse, and he had never seen so much drunkenness in a camp. To save the situation he got some barrels of beer. From that out drunkenness ceased.
