dent Porras and his officials have given a
great deal of study to this question and it
is from them that the present scheme
which is now just to be put into opera

These new land laws provide that in
stead of selling the land as in the past,
with the provision that the purchaser
shall cultivate the lands for five years be-
fore he be given a title thereto. the lands
shall be sold outright in tracts not to eX-
ceed $500 hectares, or 12,5OO acres, and
that the title shall go upon the payment
therefor. In the past the land has been
sold in large tracts: and it has been i'm
possible for the small landowner to buy.
for the reason that he could not afford to
cultivate for five years before getting the
title. BY the new laws he cannot buy

Salvation officers state that the sue
cesses thus far won by the army in
India are due to the fact that the cam
paigners advance on the hordeS of
heatenism without elaborate creeds and
intricate theories of dogma. The appeal
is to the heart in the first instance
rather than to the intellect.
In the following words Gen. William
Booth, founder of the army. defined
the idea which will get expression in
the eastern campaign:
And 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 he interpreted in terms

be the case with the select minority
the consciousness of sin, the force OF
evil habit and the influence of passion
are all vivid realities with the great
masses of the population. To them We
carry the promise of deliVerance by
Jesus Christ"
In addition to the crusade in the orient
the army also plans simultaneously to
enter upon a campaign in South Africa
and in South America. To a limited de-
gree work is now being done in these
territories. but its scope is to be much
broadened. Detachments of officers il

ports that a considerable number of
Buddhist priests have come into the army
and are now aiding in the armys work.
Another significant fact regarding the
work already done by the Salvationists
in India is that priests of Buddha have
been so impressed by the Salvationist
methods that they have initiated them in
the cause of Buddhism by means of
parades and music and banners, seeking
to arouse enthusiasm for this ancient
faith of the east. These Buddhist
have been held in Bombay, Madras and
other large cities.
The army now has sixteen industrial
boarding schools for children throughout
India, nineteen village banks, 469 day
school, three hospitals, four dispensaries,

tions. The work is to be widely extended

that this can be materially reduced if
the lands are fenced.
President Porras tells me that Ameri-
cans have begun to take up lands and set
out coffee plantations in the northern
part of the republic. DR.. Dexter. the
president of the National Institute, in
Panama City, has just set out 1000 trees
and he expects to have 100000 when his
plantation is in full swing. There are
number of North American families who
have coffee estates near David, upon
the highlands some miles in the IN
terror. Some of these are ex-employes of
the canal and others are outsiders who
have come in from the United States to
settle. There is one large cacao planta-
tion in Chiriqui where 5000 trees are in
bearing, and there is rubber estate near
Montijo bay owned by New England
company which has 400 square miles
that will be set out in bananas. pine
apples, cocoanuts and other tropical
fruits. This company owns thousands of
rubber trees from which it is annually
gathering the sap.
At the present time the, tomatoes and
other vegetables and fruits of the tenn
perate zone are brought to Panama from
the states President Porras tells me
that the highlands of Chiriqui will raise
the finest of tomatoes and potatoes. and
that a great trucking business might be
developed which would supply the canal
traffic as well as have large market in
the tropical lowlands.
] asked the president as to his plans
for the development of the country in the
raising of tropical fruits. He replied
that the banana industry could be greatly
increased. and that he had already begun
to open up cocoanut and ivory nut in
dustry along the Caribbean sea south of
Porto Bello in the province of San Bias.
He expects to build a town along the San
Bias coast and TO induce immigrants to
settle there and go into cocoanut raising.
That whole region is spotted with cocoa
nut Islands. The trees grow without
cultivation. and they are sold by the In
island in boats.
The San Bias Indians are semi-savage
and until now they would have nothinf,
to do with the whites. President Porras
