Commander Evangeline Booth has
given vivid expression Of the condi-
tons which have made necessary a
new order OF things within the Saliva
ton Army in a recent statement at a
meeting Of the executive council, as
follows:
During the war the American pub
lie was splendidly generous, giving to
the Salvation Army financial support
which made it possible for our forces
to keep close behind the fighting lines,
giving comfort and aid to the men
who were fighting the physical battles
OF our cause. Now, the Salvation
Army must meet the new demands
that peace will make upon it, and to
do so it must have financial support.
Those who have been entrusted with
the great task of collecting these
funds have decided to relieve the pub
lie OF the endless begging and solicita-
ton of money which were necessary in
the past. and to go forth in one great
effort each year"
