Booth to Go Back.

New York, Jan. 15.-Salvation follow

was rumored that an order had come
from Gen. Booth, in London, to the ef-
feet that his son and daughter-in-law,
Commander and Mrs. Ballington Booth,
must relinquish American leadership
at the end of March. 1t is supposed
that the London authorities object to
the strenuous efforts made by the lead
ers to Americanize the movement. The
commander. and his wife recently be-
came American citizens, and have now
large proportion of Americans in the
ranks of their paid officers. The re-
moval of the two popular leaders will,
it is feared, cause large withdrawal
of financial help.
