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-chief 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 1t
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
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.
) 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 University of Humanity, a
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 100000. The
gathering of this fund is the work
that the army now enters upon in
q a.. Ca. I,n I.r
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 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
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.
/. It 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
part of modern life, Is to very
large extent an outgrowth of the
4 Booth idea. He was the first to see
that the unfortunate could best be
reached by those who had suffered al
they had, and that they must be
reached by practical worldly help be
fore they could be prepared to begin
the cleaner life. II was the Salvation
Army which first made q practical
working success OF this now familiar
principle OF so-called missionary
work"
This whole plan Of campaign FOL
raising the fallen began on very
simple scale In the poverty-stricken
and crime-infested East end Of Lon
dom and under the impetus Of William
Doeth's singular force Of mind and
personality and the momentum that II
has gathered with almost miraculous
rapidly II has developed into truly
astonishing organization,

what they have been acquiring.

switehm.n Saved Passengers.

Prompt action by an Illinois Central
switchman in ditching the engine of a
north-bound freight train, Just as It
seemed about to crash into q Blue
Island passenger, prevented what
might have been serious accident
just below the Kensington station.
says a Chicago Dispatch. The man
managed to throw the freight into a
short switch just as it seemed about
to crash into the express. and the
engine at once left the rails. stopping
the train.
The accident occurred as the 1920
express train was rounding the sharp
curve which leads to Blue Island
across One Hundred and Twenty-third
street. The freight was coming slow
ly north on the extreme western
track, in the maze Of rails at that
point, and the diagonal route of the
express train took it directly in front
of the other. Seeing that the freight
might crash into the passenger train,
switchman threw the freight on a
siding Just in time. The engine of the
freight partially toppled over as 1t
left the rails, and the engineer and
fireman both jumped and escaped in.

GREETING JUDGE SMITH.

[Des Moines Register and Leader.l
The neighbors and friends Of
Judge Smith very properly rendered
him reception upon his return
from Washington, as neighbor and
friend. But as a representative Of
Iowa republican sentiment they did
not speak for the state If they In
tended to give to the homecoming
any political significance.
Judge Smith has for some years
had an ambition to succeed to the
house speakership. In promoting this
ambition he has allied himself with tho
Cannon machine. It Is not believed
that his own personal inclination has
been at all times in harmony with his
course. But he has not been able to
figure anything out OF insurgency. and
accordingly he has nursed his pros
pect in the camp Of the regulars.
1t would be an honor to Iowa to
secure the speakership. But It is
to mean merely continuation Of
and that is what it will mean II the
Cannon influence is to be thrown il
the direction Of the member from
tne MIMI Judge Smtn VIII De g.
Cannon man or he will not be
speaker. In this choice the state
will promptly forego the honors.
The Register and Leader is willing
to join in a most cordial welcome 10
Judge Smith as citizen. But the
time has come for plain speaking IN
the matter of the political future.
Judge Smith has cast his lot with the
reactionaries in congress and sould be
judged accordingly.

TRIBUTE 10 Or. HUNTINGTON
Jews Remember Episcopal clersyman's

Jews Remember. Episcopal clsrsyman's
Sympathy In kishinsff Massaers.
To the Rev. DR.. William r. Hunt
ington, rector Of Grace church. New
York city. who recently died at Ma
hant Mass, Annette Kohn Of New
York pays the following tribute:
In the death of DIR. William r. Hunt
hgton the Protestant Episcopal
church mourns the loss of good
Christian. valuable and Woodworking
clergyman and fine man.
But DR.. Huntington had a wider
humanity. a spirit Of truer religion and
finer manhood than can be confined
within the bounds Of any theological
sect or creed. He was cosmopolitan
citizen of the world to whom all men
were brothers and whose noble heart
was touched by the sunerings and sor-
rows of any Of Gods children. what
ever their faith, their race or their
country.
At the time of the great Russian
massacre at Kishineff, that electrified
the civilized world. when 10000 Rus
sian Jews marched In funeral process
sion up Broadway. New York, bewail-
ing with dirges the loss of kinsmen
and compatriots. 1t was DR.. Hunting
ton who ordered the funeral bells
of Grace church to be tolled during
the entire long day Of that weird and
solemn funeral procession while he
stood with barred head watching it
pass the church.
1t was fine and sympathetic act,
noble in its simplicity, simple in its
great nobility.
When the writer Of this tribute ex.
pressed appreciation of this friendly
sympathy to DR.. Greer. the bishop Of
the diocese. the good bishop disclaim-
ed any personal responsibility for it,
saying that "all the credit belonged
to DR.. Huntington, for the act was his
own entirely. though the good doctor
had his highest commentator for hav-
ing conceived it."
The Jewish population not only Of
New York, but Of the United States,
were deeply moved by this touching
token Of sympathy and fellowship.
Today as body they join his fam
lily. his church and the Christian COM
munity In mourning his death and
reyering his memory
