Some Of the departments OF its
work are Prison-gate and Rescue
lnebriates' homes, Boys and Girls
homes, Farm colonies, Emigration
Naval and Military homes, Maternity
homes, nursing, Samaritan brigades
hospital and benevolent visitation, pc.
lice court work and Indian school
training
No other religious organiza ton in
the worlds history has branched out
into so many departments of philan-
thropic effort and absorbed them as
part of its religious duties
Need of Trained Workers.
The scheme for University of HUI
mainly grew naturally out of the de-
velopment of the 20 other depart
ments. With a field as wide as the
world itself the work of the Salvation
Army is only limited by the number
of workers that can be secured and
its effectiveness by the understanding
and earnestness of these workers. As
uplift work has grown from local eff
elusive movement which must miss
none, the problems of organization
have grown greater. Charity has be.
come a science and its application an
art requiring the highest development
of personal qualities of insight and
altruism. There is thus pressing need
for workers of quite exceptional quail
ification, These qualifications must
first of all be inherent and must then
be developed by experience and spe
cial training.
This is the new work planned bv
Gen. Booth. Those women, for in.
stance, who are TO go among the
slums of the big cities must not only
have the desire to help but must know
how real helpfulness can best be Sc
cured. They must understand by
study of practical sociology some
thing of the social forces that create
this poverty and crime and wretched.
ness. They must understand the dan.
ger of the unwise charity that merely
increases dependence and understand
the value of better living conditions
in raising the moral courage of those
10 whom fate has been unkind. They
must be able not only to correct home
conditions themselves but to impart
their knowledge and to inspire with
desire for betterment.
Value of the Organization.
This will be but a small part of the
universitys training in social service
as planned by the patriarchal evangel-
list, but 1t serves to show of what
value such an organization will be

versity he himself said recently: 81

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-
lJafed in by hundreds of thousands of
Tother citizens who were glad to do
fhonA y the distinguished philan-
<EIhropist
Gen. Booth himself presided over
several monster mass meetings in
London. His advanced age and the
fact 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.
I'm America the day was marked
especially by the launching of another
of Cen. 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, a
great institution for the training of
workers in social service. The uni
versily will be divided between New
York and Chicago and it is expected
TO begin with fund of Sl,000.000. The
gathering of this fund is the work
that the army now enters upon in
commentator of its famous leaders
completion of his eightieth year.
As a much-needed 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 just
Iiminary work in this country where
the need for trained workers has been
especially great.
Growth Of Great System.
II 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
a part of modern life, is to a 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
che cleaner life. 1t was the Salvation
ARMY which first made a practical
working success of this now familiar
orinciule Of so-called missionary
work"
This whole plan Of campaign for
,aisiug the fallen began on a very
simple scale in the poverty-stricken
"a crime-infested East end of Lon
don and under the impetus OF William
pooth's singular force of mind and
,,ereonalitv and the momentum that 1t
has gathered with almost miraculous
raridity 1t has developed into a truly
astonishing organization

Writes of His Greed

OF his creed the general has written
very beautifully He says:
The simplicity of our creed has
been. as 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-
liverance by Jesus Christ"

at Monterey, when a collection OF

PEARY NARRATIVE Is

bearing on Commander Robert E.
Peary's discovery OF the north pole in
favor OF the New York Sun and the
New York World, defendants in a pro-
brought by the New York Times.
The Times had obtained a temporary
injunction restraining the Sun and

cabled account OF his discovery, which
he had agreed to furnish exclusively
to the Times, but the court held that
the Times copyright was not legally

Of his discovery and printed 1t

legal steps to stop this, but has failed
30 far as Judge Hands decision goes.
A copy OF Peary's contract, which
was submitted to the court, set forth
that the explorer received $4,000 from
the newspaper, to be considered as q
loan, which was to be repaid out OF
the proceeds OF the Times syndicate
accounts of his discovery. Failing to
reach the pole, he was to refund the
full amount. " "

STUDENT SOUGHT
BY OFFICERS FOR
DETROIT MURDER
Opal Ring, Known to Be Worn
by Dead Girl, Disappears
From Her Finger.

Detroit, Mich, Sept. 1.-THE police,
who are Investigating the murder of
MaybelIc Miliman, are understood to
be looking for a University Of Miehi-
gan student, who 10 said to be playing
base ball in d minor league In the
west. The authorities, IL 10 said, want
st least q statement from him, for IL
10 believed he can throw considerable
light on the case.
Opal Ring Missing.
An opal ring which Miss MiIlman.
wore on the third finger Of her left
hand when she left the Cass avenue,
rooming house on August "a, Is miss
ing. Her friends say that the jewel.
was a valuable one.
The sack in which the girls hands
were found was too securely tied to
permit the explanation hat the ring
might have been washed away by the
water. Apparently the. ring was taken.
from the girls finger with the purpose
Of removing every possible mark Of
Identification. %
Doctor Still In Jail.
When today's Investigations into the
tragedy began, DIR. George A, Fritch
was still under arrest at police head
quarters. Miss Martha Henning and
Mrs. Alice Renaud were understood
to have remained at police ~headquar-
tiers over night as witnesses, as Cap
tain Mcconnell said last night that
