SALVATION AMY CAVALRY.
Unique Method of Reaching the Mount
ain. Fend lists Of Kentucky.


Unique In the history Of religious war
fare Is the soulsaving campaign which
the Salvation army has inaugurated in
the mountain FrgiOu Of Kentucky. Arm
ed with no other weapons than song and
prayer and religious zeal. these pioneers
of the church militant have confidently
gone into the feud-ritlden districts. where
a mans life is held cheaper than that Of
a dogs and red-hauded assassination
stalks abroad
This daring scheme Of the evangelical
tion originated with Col Rich ard &.
Holz Of Cleveland. and provincial officer
in charge Of the army work in Ohio and
Kentucky. He conceived IL to he the
duty Of the army to send a special expe-
dition 10 the wild mountaineers. Imbued
with the spirit Of the army organization,
which aims TO reach the needy. neglect
ed and Indifferent through unusual chan
nels, Col. Holz formed a picked brigade
of six members, and himself mas gone as
their leader
Selected primarily "a able speakers,
the members of the brigade have also
been chosen with view to their ph yscal
endurance, because they win ride many
miles day. hold meetings every night
and rough it generally. They are provid-
cd with full camping-nut equipment and
al the accessories Of she soldier, minus
weapons.
This tour of the Salvation cavalry IS
planned to last only for few weeks
and IS in reality only n preliminary
skirmish, covering seven counties. When
the brigade has introduced Salvation
work along this route, it is proposed to
establish permanent posts at all the
points touched upon
Col Holz IS said to be delighted with
the way his party has been received by
the feudists at Jackson, and is now push
ing decper into the mountains. inspired
with fresh arjlor by the altogether aus
picious beginning Of n crusade that is ex-
pected Ia lift the ferce mountajneers a
long way MP toward the level Of twensi-
eth century civilization.
