New York. Feb. 22.-The retirement
of Ballington Booth and wife, Maud
Il. Booth, from command of the Saliva
tion Army of the United States. on the
imperative command for international
headquarters, Is announced in an ad-
dress issued by them to-day. They say
they Will accept the command of no
other Salvation Army in the country.
Partisans of Ballington Booth say
that the secret of his removal lies
wholly in the fact that he has succeed
ed in almost completely Americanizing
the Salvation Army i'm this country.
His methods aroused the antagonism of
a little English coterie headed by Col
onel Edie, the chief secretary who
came over from England one year ago.
General Booth. father of Ballington
Booth, and commander-in-chief of the
Salvation Army did not fancy the idea
of the Army in America breaking away
from the English precedents and was
finally prevailed upon to order the
withdrawal of Ballington Booth Ac-
cording to clause in the constitution
of the Army, the commander is abso-
lutte owner of all the real estate of the
organization. The building on West
Fourteenth street, completed within the
last year, represents nearly $500, 900.

erty transferred TO his successor.
