congress and the visit Of general
BramWeu Booth to this country is the
certainty that commander Eva Booth

why she will not are said to be two.
One is the fact that during her terms,
which have been two of five years
each. more property has been accumu-
lated than during % years previous, or
since the army was established in
America in 1880. When Miss Booth
took hold army property amounted 70
S2.OO0.OOO- It now amounts to S6,440,-
