BOOTHS VOLUNTEERS SPLIT.
Newark Officers and Sixty Workers
Secede From Army. $3.50.

NEW YORK, August 22-Co!. and Mrs.
Fred A. Lindsay, who have been In charge
of the religious work of the Newark, N.
j., branch of the Volunteers of America,
will On Sunday sever all connections with
Ballington Booths organization. Mr.. and
Mrs. Lindsay. both of whom bear the title
of colonel, were among the originators of
the Volunteers with Gen. Ballington Booth,
and both were prominent In Salvation Army
work before that.
1t is said that about sixty of the eighty
workers of the local corps will also resign
and an entirely new staff will have to be
installed. The reason for the designations,
Col Fred Lindsay says, is partly because
of personal regard for himself and wife.
The main reason, he asserted, was the fact
that Frederick Won Diezelski, who was with
the American Salvation Army, sort Of In
dustrial branch of the body recently
sent to the local corps of the volunteers.
Many of the local volunteer workers were
asked by outsiders how Won DieZelsh came
to be one of them, and they did not like the
I implied connection between themselves and
| the recent dissensions in the American
Salvation Army"
Col Lindsay explained that they intend
to open a mission soon where they may

AvERsE TO ARBITRATION.
Newfoundlanders Remember How
Often We Have Won Before.

ST. JOHNS. N. F.. August 22.-The colo
nists here not knowing the details of the
proposal to srbitrate the Newfoundland
American fishing dispute before The Hague
tribunal, are unable clearly to understand
the situation. In regard to the general
principle Of arbitrat!ng questions against
the United States. much doubt Is expressed
as to the wisdom of the decision. because
England has invariably lost in such cases.
and 1t is feared that a similar result will
follow in the present instance. =.
on the other hand. 1t is understood that
the British cabinet. when the colonial min
istry insisted on the colony'S construction
of the statutes, intmated that arbitration
was the only alternative If the American
government declined to accept that con-
struction 1t is. therefore, assumed that
the Americans declining TO subscribe to
the colonial views. arbitration was ar
ranged.
No tight has yet been thrown officially
on the Bond ministry's position in the mat
ter and il is unknown IL II is conserving
to or opposing arbitration.
