Salvation Army Leaders
Are Transferred To Other
Fields of EndeayOr

Captain and Mrs. Alonzo c. I.or-
ing, who have been in charge of the
work of the Salvation Army in this
city for the past seven months, have
received orders to leave here next
Sunday. This means that the last
service conducted by Captain LorinS
will be held on Sunday evening and
they will be leaving shortly for
destination as Yet unknown.
Captain Loring stated Wednesday
that he knew that he was to be sent
out of the New England states but
that lie did not know whore he was
going. lie expects. however. to be
sent to the Northern Ohio division.
Major Il. T.. Hughes. divisional Of
ficer of Northern New England, and
Ensign Purdum. young peoples sec
rotary for Northern New England,
will probably arrive today for an in
spection of the Salvation Army
property in. this city and to make
definite and complete plans for the
farewell.
Captain Loring will be relieved by
Ensign William Lawrence of Lew
iston who has been in Lewiston for
about a year. Ensign Lawrence is
married and has ten children, and
his family is noted for the fact that
they form a band Of seven pieces
that is hard TO beat. That he is we'll
liked in Lewiston is shown by the
fact that whom he announced his
approaching departure, the Pastors
Union of Lewiston passed the fol
lowing resolutions:
"The Pastors Union expresses IFS
appreciation for the valuable services
Ensign w. J. Lawrence has rendered
in this community. and expresses its
gratitude to God for his presence and
hope that GODS spirit Will lie with
him in his future field"
Friends of Captain and Hrs. Lor-
ing and their little daughter. Beryl
Frances, will be very sorry to hear
that they are to leave but will wish

WORK WEEK OBSERVED
IN BULGARIAN SCHOOLS
Eoys and Girls Go To school But Do
Useful Work instcad
of Studying.

Sofia, Oct 30.--Thc autumn work
week in all the public schools of Bull
garia was observed recently and an
other week will be similarly devoted
in the spring. The boys and girls
went to school as usual, but instead
of studying employed the school
hours in performing useful tasks. The
glls knitted stockings and made
night clothing for the children in
the orphanages, while the goys
cleaned up the school properties, APP
plying paint where needed, digging up
the school yards and repairing the
pavement in front of the buildings.
This work is part of the labor leg
is!ation by CONSUMPTION, put into the
statute book under the late premier,
s;tanboulislty, 1t constitutes the one
reform of the previous regime that
the Tsankoff administration has re-
tanned
Efforts are being made, however, to
make the conscript labor more effec-
tive by a more intelligent and system
attic application. One memorial of
conscript labor as worked out by the
Stamboulisky regime is the long lines
of holes which were dug on either
side of the street by conscript laborers
and never filed with the trees which
they were designed to hold, on one of
the principal streets of the capital,
ulitsa Rakovska.

Monarch Barbaric But Dignifcd

"While the Germans were In control
OF the vast territory which has been
renamed ranganyil,a they were active
IN nearly all parts of II except In this
fur northwest corner. They felt that
TO dcpose the sultans OF the Ruanda
and the rrundi regions would make
for an anarchy which would have
cost vast sums to guell. For these
two sutans held sway over popula-
tons estimated at a million and a
half.
"The court of the coal-black sultan
OF the Watussi was barbaric but dig
niied. When IL was visited by Ger
man explorer, that dignitary, known
as the msinga,' was borne on pal
anuuin. a sort of stretcher with its
poles resting on the shoulders OF four
men, and he was surrounded by a
guard OF 500 spcar-bcaring soldiers.
Ills counters wore no clothes but were
bcdccked with ornaments. From their
Wi is were suspended strings or
skins and hides, around their necks
we're crclets OF banana hemp on
which were hung an assortment OF or
naments, and across their bushy hair
d comb ran from ear to car. To this
comb WAS anchored pearl string
that lay across their foreheads.
The RECEIPT on was similar to that
accorded the sultan's chiefs who find
frequent opportunity 10 bring him
gifts. and upon all such occasions the
native banana beer flows most freely
and the beating Of drums summons
the court to festivities which grow
ever more .riotious and tumultuous
until the dawn of another day marks
their cessation"
