Booths mission to Chicago is claimed by
the seceders TO be a failure. Salvutionists
at headquarters say openly that is the re-
suit At the meeting yesterday afternoon
ol the northwestern division of the Saliva
ton Army, held at Princess Rink, tho
building was crowded to the doors. Dem
onstrations Of approval were frequent
during theyoung commissioners address,
but those who are the backbone of the
Northwestern division were silent. The
dissenting soldiers and officers expected to
have from the lips of Eva Booth an eX-
planation Of the difficulty between Bal
Hngton Booth and his father. Her appar-
ent disposition was to pass over the dis
pute in silence
Only once was she interrupted. That
was when she spoke of the principles of
the army.
"Tell us what those principles are,
please, " cried one of the audience. There
was confusion for an instat, with talk of
putting the disturber out of doors Then
Eva answered:
"Those principles are too well, too
widely known too numerous to mention.
For the principles of the army look to it's
publications. look to its work in this
city; look to its work in the world, My
time is too limited.
"lt has been stated by some who know
very little of our work that we wish to
Anglicize the work wherever we inaugu
rate it. There is no other organization on
earth that is a greater believer in the doc
trine of when in Rome do as do the
