/" HE celebrations all over the
world in honor of the eightieth
birthday of General William
Booth, founder and command
or In chief Of the Salvation Army, call
attention to the fact that the venera-
bic head Of this great militant reli-
gious organization has just won fight
with no less parsonage than the czar
Of Russia. General Booth was long
forbidden entrance to the Russian EN-.
pire and was apparently as much
dreaded by. the czar and his associate
autocrats as a revolutionist or assas-
sin. But at last all opposition to him
has been withdrawn.
General Booth was born ON April 10,
1920, In Nottingham, England, and
was at first minister of the Metho-
dist New Connection denomination,
but he left this ministry In 1861 to
engage In evangellstic work, and his
interest in this department of religious
activity led to his devoting himself
wholly to labors among the outcasts
and downtrodden and In that way to
the organization of the Salvation
Army. which dates its birth from the
year 1878. The army is now estab-
lished In twenty-five different coun-
tries and has some 10000 officers. Its
head, who exercises over 1t the sway
Of benevolent despot. believes he Is
good for almost another eighty years
yet and in his ripe old age declines to
take life much easier than of old.
He lives In plainly furnished home
Of the country mansion type. Every
thing about the place bespeaks sim
plicity, combined with somewhat
rude comfort The general when work
ing occupies large back room on
the ground floor overlooking sweep
of green lawn. Despite his years
his figure Is erect and gives the i'm
preston Of man six feet In height.
He not only works full ten hours
day when at home. but often converts
his bedroom into workshop and at
night when unable to sleep devotes

himself TO the problems OF SOCIOLOGY
and religion which occupy no large
portion Of his thought.
It was quite characteristic that Gen.
eral Booth should signalize his ap-
proach to octogenarian honors by set.
ting forth plan that has long occu-
pied bis thoughts and been the subject
of many conferences with his asso-
ciates-namely. the establishment Of a
sort Of Salvation Army university, or,
a. the general terms it. "a World Unit
versity For the Cultivation Of the Sci
ence Of Humanity In Connection With
the Salvation Army" 1t Is proposed
that the institution should have Its
main wings In England and the United
States, with affiliated colleges through
out the worlG. In the United Suites
the head school will be In New York,
and Chicago viii have an important
branch. In the various departments Of
this university of humanity those WISH
ing to engage In the work Of the army
will be trained In its methods of social
and religious work, and General Booth
hopes that they will thus be better able
to deal with the terrible and crying
evils which afiict the human race.
Considerable complication was intro
duced into the already confused Ser.
Wan situation when Crown Prince
George renounced bis rights Of success
sion to the throne In consequence Of
the scandal about his alleged brutal
treatment Of servant. Amid all the
talk Of war with Austria Hungary over
the proposed annexation by the latter
Of Herzegovina and Bosnia the ques,
ton Of succession to the throne forged
to the front and threatened a condition
Of anarchy which might make Austri-
an Intervention unavoidable. Prince
George Is said to have been crushed
by remorse at the death Of his servant
and greatly chagrined that he was vir-
tually charged by the nation with his
murder, for death resulted from the
injury the man received, whether 1t
was purely accidental or otherwise.
Crown Prince George has been subject.
to fits of uncomfortable anger, and the
charge that he had knocked his valet
down and trampled upon him. so In
juring him as to cause his death short
ly afterward. was eagerly taken up by
the Socialists and other opponents Of
the reigning family.
