During the night a family living at

is DOING PART OF
CHURCHES WORK
Therefore Salvation Army Has a Right
TO Demand Help From Them, Says
Col. Jenkins in Barre Address.

Fifteen years ago Commander Evi
Booth OF the Salvation army spoke il
the Congregational church and at NJ
time since then has a speaker so prom
inent in Salvationist circles been here
until last evening, when Col. Jenkins
editor .in.chief of the War Cry, addressed
fair slid audience from the same pull
pit. in one of series of mass meetings
that the army is conducting in severa
of the cities in the state. Col, Adam
Clifford OF Boston, who had been advef'
tised as the chief speaker at the gather
ing was unable TO attend because of i'll
ness.
Following the open air service in De-
pot Square Just before S o'clock, the
Army marched 10 the Congregational
church in body and the meeting opened
at once with a prayer led by Major Hill
man of Boston. A song was next sung
by bandmaster Malpass of Boston, the
Army joining in on the chorus. Major
Hillman was prevailed upon to say a
few words and a trombone solo by Dan
Andrews followed.
The chief speaker Of the evening. Col.
Jenkins, was introduced by William
Mcdonald, and proceeded to speak at
length on the topic, "The Condition of
the Salvation Army He spoke of the
comparative youth of the organization,
1t being but 81 years old, and of how
ii had grown, retaining at the same time
all the vigor OF it's early days. He went
on to refute criticisms that were made
of the Army and did it convincingly.
He told how the Army had grown until
it was now located in 60 countries and
colonies and required IL languages and
codes To enable il TO translate the gos-
pei news for it's benefactors The Army
he said, prints 81 different publications
with a combined circulation of ,250,000.
To pay for all this not one cent of ad-
yertising space is sold
In his concluding remarks Col. len.
kins emphasized three points. First he
wanted every Christian to pray for their
local corps of the Army. Secondly he
said that the Army had a right to de-
mand from the other Christian organiza-
tions because II was doing their work in
part and deserved reeompensation. And
in his last point he desired that every
one attempt to work among his fellow.
men in the true Salvation Army spirit.
A collection was taken, while JoEa
Robinson gave cornet solo The meet

Early Response Wanted to Query Why
Neutral Mails are Interfered.
With

tary Polk announced yesterday that he
had made formal inquiry of France and
Great Britain as to why no reply had
been received to the last American note
regarding interference with neutral mails,
and had asked for response at the ear
lest possible moment.
At the time Mr.. Polk had not heard
that Ambassador Page had been handed
a memorandum by the British foreign
office answering specific complaints made
in the American note. This memoran-
dunn will serve to allay the impatience
Of the state department only partially.
however, as officials are most anxious to
have a definite reply to the general pro-
test against the treatment accorded mails
between the United States and neutral
countries of Europe.
The understanding here is that the
French foreign office has sent to London
a draft of note and that dispatch OF
the joint reply is being delayed there.

To the Editor of The Times: Colonel
Reeves has assigned me the pleasant
duty of sending a word now and then
To the home papers, in order that the
friends at home may have an official
word as 20 the health and welfare Of the
men. ! am glad to report that thus far
the men are in excellent spirits and
there have been no more cases Of illness
than would be likely to occur among the
same number OF men at home. The only
illness at all serious has been that OF
Private Vance Rich Of Co. f. who is
making a rapid and complete recovery
from an operation for appendicitis. Aside
from administration OF the typhoid pro.
phylachie and vaccination, the medical
staff has had little 10 do One OF the
doctors has suggested he might bring
his family here as a desirable health re.
sort. What little illness we have had
has come from drinking too much pop"
and eating pies bought at the exchanges
and outside stands. Restrictions were
placed promptly on the sale of these ar
ticles and the good effect was noticed
at once The army rations are clean,
healthy and abundant and both officers
and men live as well as they do at home
1t is natural for the boys to write
scary letters about the terrible beasts
and fearful climate, but so far no one
has been wounded by horned toad nor
has there been single case Of heat
The friends at home should
remember that Texas has a eonsidera bic

spring thaw in Vermont We have pre-.
risely the same conditions here as obtain
in the regions OF the Southwest. where

are found so favorable for their recov-

The first thought Of Colonel Reeves
and his staff has been to conserve the
health OF the men, and there have been
no military exigencies to compel hard
ships or privation. | trust, therefore,
