American Volunteers.

The first ann1v' rsary of the founding
of the American Volunteers was celeb
rated at New York by two big meet
ings at Me rOpolitan temple and at
Cooper union. At the night meeting
Commander Ballington Booth said:
During the twelve years of our
Christian labor in this country we tried
to Americanize the Salvation army
because we naturally and rightly CON-
sidered that a country that had pro-
gressed as America has was capable of
governing its own property, it's own
resources and training its own officers
without interference from a foreign
quarter.
''For eleven years we labor unceas-
lngly to Americanize the Salvation
army in this country and were it not
for the interference brought to bear
upon us under a foreign International
policy we would have remained under
the old flag.
1--WE were confronted with the diff
Guilty of standing by our flag or aban-
doning our policy of Americanizing
the army in America, and we unhesitat-
ingly sent back the answer: we will
stand by the constitutional government
of the United States
ut is no right that aby movement
either civil or religious or military in
this country should submit to the gov
ernment of a foreign power. Though
we lose all and life, too, in the bargain,
we will stand by the American peo-
ple.''
Commander Booth will commission
500 officers.

The New York journal has the fol-

known cattleman in this section:
Jack" tOllansbee is one of the most
thoroughly liked of all the chappies
that take an active inter- st in horse
racing.
His modesty, 10 less than his thor
Ough gdmeness, has won him countless
friends who will be pleased to know
that he has had considerable success
on the California; turf his winter and
that he will race in the east next sum
mer.
l hear that he has rat,ling good two
year-old Morel!o. out of SnOwdros, and
tha he entertains great hopes of the
animal.
Every chappie that knows Follansbee
or bas watched his turf carer will
root that he may not be disappointed
for to man like him no possession could
he more highly priced than a first class
race horse.
