Salvation Army's Work for Flfty-Four
Years Recognized az Worthy Of
the Highest Praise.

Except for the war the Salvation
Army would have celebrated its fiftieth
birthday four years ago, but there
could hardly have been better re-
minder Of what the army had done
and become In half century than the
recent award of the Victoria Cross to
three Salvation Army soldiers for their
service In France. Fifty-four years
ago things were very different; the
first appearances Of the salvationists
aroused opposition. rowdies tried to
break up the meetings, and on at least
one occasion members of the. future
army were arrested In England as
"disturbers of the peace" Originally
simply an attempt to make converts
by outdoor preaching. the movement
which William Booth started In July
1865, was put on military basis and
became the Salvation Army In 1878,
since which time It has grown from
10 corps in England to about 5000
corps and outp0sts In more than 6O
countries. The army was officially
recognized by King Edward VII when
he received the founder at Bucking-

FATALLY INJURED IN
AN AUTOMOBILE WRECK

(Eank Berlin was fatally injured
and his wife and one little daughter
hurt last Saturday forenoon. when the
family car turned over on the roadside
near the Blakeley place while en- route
to the Roundup. MIR. Berlin was
taken to Pendleton. to the hospital.
where it was found that the spine was
badly injured.
An operationSjsclosed that no hope
for his recovery might be entertained,
and he died Tuesday morning. The re-
mains were brought to this city Tues
day afternoon. Yesterday afternoon
at 2 o'clock the funeral was held at
the family residence in the north part
of town and at the grave the impress
sive Masonic ritualistic ceremonies
were held.
The deplorable accident occurred
when MIR. Berlin. in passing another
car. felt the front wheel of his car,
which was a new model Franklin,
leave the hardsurface and drop into
the soft macadam base at the roadside.
This resulted in the car turning sharp
ly at right angle. toppling over and
throwing the occupants out. Mr. Ber-
lin was thrown through the windshield
and that he was doing all in his power
to control the machire. is verified by
the fact that he took the rim Of the
steering wheel with him when he was
thrown out.
Mrs. Berlin was painfully bruised
about the face and head. and one little
girl was slightly injured. The other
three children escaped without injury.
Help was at the scene Of the accident
Immediately and the injured were
rushed to the hospital without delay.
Mr.. Berlin leaves his wife. three
daughters and one son, besides large
circle of friends to mourn his untimely
.loss. He was one of Athena's pros
porous farmers and only this year had
purchased fine farm home adjacent
to Athena. His other holdings en-
braced a splendid body of wheat land
northwest of town. and he had just
reached the stage Of his industrial ac-
tivities where he was in a position to
enjoy the fruits of his labors.
Mr. Berlin was affiliated with the
Masonic and knights of Fythias Or
ders, and was member of the Bap-
tist church. He was born in Virginia.
March %. 1867. and was So years and
six months of age at his death.

last fight, and although he stuck tbs

nice pasting.
This time he has tpained. He has

him so hard that when Meehan hit
