New York.-For is minutes the

Roxy is the Long Island railroad
mascot. He formerly belonged to VIII

was adopted by every man in the serv.

those in civilian dress did not adopt
him was because Roxy would have
nothing to do with them.

there. started to go into the main of.

by his savage barking and display of
white and wellset teeth that there

Roxy goes all over Long Island on

by the trainmen, the same as they
did when the dog used to accompany

GEN. BOOTH ON EIGHTIETH
BIRTHDAY STARTS NEW PLAN
Veteran Founder Of Salvation Army Launches
Scheme for University of Humanity in the
United States---All the World Celebrates
Anniversary of His Birth

New York.-Gen. William Booth,
founder and commander-in-ch of the
Salvation Army. celebrated his eight
ieth birthday on Saturday, April 10,
and the event was made the occasion
OF rejoicing all over the civilized
world. The Army itself held big meet
ings in every city and town where it
Is established, and these were partici-
pated in by hundreds of thousands Of
other citizens who were glad to do
honor to the distinguished philan-
thropist
Gen. Booth himself presided over
several monster mass meetings in
London. His advanced age and the
TACT that he was operated on recently
for cataract did not deter him from
taking part in the celebrations held by
his devoted soldiers
University of Humanity Launched.
In America the day was marked
especially by the launching of another
OF Gen. Booths original schemes for
social reform in the United States
AT every post of the army was an.
nounced the beginning of work to
found a University of Humanity n
great institution for the training of
workers in social service. The uni
versity will be divided between New
York and Chicago, and 1t is expected
to begin with fund of 81 900. 900. The
gathering of this fund is the work
that the army now enters upon in
commemoration of its famous leaders
completion of his eightieth year.
AS a muchneeded stone in the great
organizational structure that William
Booth has been building during the
past AZ years, this idea of a school
for the systematic training of his
workers has been in his mind for sew.
eral years On his last visit to the
United States the general made his
first tentative announcement of the
plan. Since then he has worked out
many of the details and he has lust
consented to the beginning of pre-.
liminary work in this country where
the need for trained workers has been
especially great
Growth of Great System.
1t is perhaps not generally realized
that the whole intricate modern ma
chinery of civilization for the uplift-
ing of the submerged tenth, the vast
system of charities now so essential
q part of modern life, is to very
large extent an outgrowth of the
Booth idea He was the first to see
that the unfortunate could best be
reached by those who had suffered as
they had, and that they must be
reached by practical worldly help be-
fore they could be prepared to begin
the cleaner life. 1t was the Salvation
Army which first made a practical
working success of this now familiar
principle of socalled missionary
work"
This whole plan of campaign for
raising the fallen began on a very
simple scale in the poyertystricken
and crime-infesteu East end OF Lon
don and under the impetus OF William
Booths singular force of mind and
personality and the momentum that It
has gathered with almost miraculous
rapidity II has developed into a truly
astonishing organization.

Writes Of His Greed

OF his -feed the general has written
very beautifully. He says:
"The simplicity of our creed has
been, as l believe it will remain, one
of the principal helps to our unity.
We stand for the old truths. The
faith which can be interpreted in
terms of duty, of unselfishness, of
purity, of love to God and man, is the
only faith we really care about. What.
ever may be the case with the select
minority, the consciousness of sin.
the force of evil habit and the con-
seriousness Of sin and the influence of
passion, are all vivid realities with
the great masses of the population.
To them we bring the promise of de.
liverancs oy Jesus Christ"
