Pathetic Scene mt n Salvation
Army Meeting.


a scene of human interest and tender
pathos which brought tears to the eyes
of many spectators was enacted last night
at west side gathering of the Salvation
Army.
After several songs had been sung. tes-
timonials offered and prayers made. the
leader stepped forth. He stood with IN
covered head. exhorting the sinners. He
had not finished quoting the well known
lines of scripture, Suffer little children
to come unto me-" when ragged baby
crowded its way into the circle and reached
up its hands.
The child was not old enough to talk
and its silent pleadlngs were mere effect
i've than the words of the speaker. The
baby was lost. having strayed from home
and 1t came to the assembly on the street
corner looking for q familiar face. 1t was
sent to the Desplaines Street police sta
ton. where the mother found it few
hours later.

A busy White House rumor last even
ing had it that the Cabinet yesterday con-
sidered the possibility of calling special
session of Congress to provide money and
men for a campaign i'll China. Again it is
freely asserted in Administration circles
that If We are to have. trouble on the
Asiatic mainland no troops can be spared
from the Philippines. This is, indeed, a
strange saying. We have over sixty thou
sand men there, whereas Otis always swore
that thirty thousand would be an incon-
veniently large force for all necessary
purposes. 1t is also worth remembering
that he insists that the rebellion IS COM
pletely crushed. An extra session of Con-
gress to secure authority for more SOL
diers, and, incidentally, volunteer commits
