partly responsible for II. A. Boards
acceptance OF the chairmanship of
the finance committee for the SAL

tbat timc, Beard said yesterday in
discussing general plans for the
weeks campaign. he hnd shared the
attitude more or less general to-
wards the salvation army, and would
throw them bit of change and with
an air OF aloofness pass on.
But this attitude changed while
Beard was going overseas. The In
cident occurred two days out from
Liverpool IN the submarine zone.
A lad on the boat had been operated
upon for appendicitis The after
noon of that same day the convoy
WAS subjected to n submarine attack
which was frustrated by American
destroyers using the famous ash
cans whose explosion is eNtraordi-
rarily terrific. In q Whist boat on
the upper deck the lad had been
thoughtiessly deserted by doctors
and attendants. lie wasn't along,
heywever; lone Salvation army
torker aboard the boat was by his
eide. his arm about him, soothing
him, encouraging him and promising
him that no matter what happened,
he would stay with him until the
end.
Real Help 10 Soldiers.
Again and again. said Beard.
