 SALVATION|STS
Colonel Charles Miles and Visiting Members Put in a Busy Day in This City on Sunday.

T am much pleased with the prog, ress and condition of the corps in Bis bee. and l am profoundly grateful for the magnificent welcome accorded me here by all classes. in the Army and out. l have but one suggestion or amendment to offer: The Army in 5isbee ought to have building of its own. of size and character suitable to carry on its manifold work. The peo- pie of BisOee ought to provide us with such building and I believe they will"
 This vas the closing message of Colonel Charles Miles, Provincial of. ficer of the Salvation Army, in con versation with Review representa-. tive after the close of Sunday nights meeting. Colonel Miles has recently taken charge of the Pacific Coast Prov. ince of the Salvation Army work, in. cluding six states and territories along the Pacific slope and the Hawaiian Islands He has been for a numba- of years stationed at Chicago, as Tsl ritorial secretary for the western ter ritory of the Army, embracing a tier of states from the lake to the xulf During the recent periodic transfer and redistribution of officers. Colonel French, formerly in charge of the Pa cific Coast Province was transferred to Chicago. and Colonel Miles. was given charge of this Province. How Colonel French regards the transfer is not known. but Colonel Miles is certainly delighted. He said humor l ousfy yesterday in the Opera house meeting that so far as he knew, Ii. was the only man on the coast whr was glad that Colonel French was gone, as that officer was very popular and the people generally seemed tC regret his departure. Colonel Milet is an Englishman by birth, but is thor oughtly Americanized and his ailegi ance to the Stars and Stripes Is second only to his devotion to the Yellow Red and Blue" of the Salvation Army international banner.
