including the churches, said Capt.
Boyce Peters, commandant, this
morning. Residents here are asked
to subscribe this amount by Capt.
Peters, who feels that the post here,
having no useful work to perform,
must be kept open until the post
debts are paid.
"Amerlcus as community is to
be congratulated" said Capt. Peters
today, in discussing conditions here.
an the many years I have been con-
nected with the Salvation Army I
have never been in a community
where there exists less per capita
poverty or need for Stun work
such as is peculiarly the province
of the Army to perform. Is have
been upon your streets at all hours
of the night. and even upon the
roads and highways leading into
Americas. [ am convinced that the
Army's field Of usefulness here is
fully pre-empted by local agencies.
"There exists as little work for
the Army to do in Americas as in
any community l have ever visited.
and this work is BEING well handled
by established agencies. This con-
clusion is responsible for the decis-
ion to close the post here and send
Mrs. Peters and myself to another
field. We believe that in another
cor munity we can and will do much
useful work, while here the work
is not to be done.
"But we can't leave until this
debt hanging over the post is
cleared up, and for this reason We
are appealing to the public to sub
scribe this and help us on our way. >
The Times-Recorder has agreed
to aid Capt. Peters by accepting
checks that may be sent in to help
pay off the post Indebtedness, or
checks may be sent direct to him as
commandant Of the post.

COLLECTORS HARD-UP;
SELL ART TREASURES

IS LONDON, Oct. 5.-Art collect
crs from America have sent more
treasures to America since the war
than were purchased by Americans
during the 20 years previous to
1914.
English collectors explain that
this is the result of the need for
cash which is being acutely felt
in England. Many formerly
wealthy art collectors are forced
to sell their possessions in order to
meet high taxation and living costs,
There seems to be no such condi-
ton among the American collect
ors, for their English agents arc
everywhere and always ready TO
seize upon any treasures that are
for sale. In fact, so anxious are
some of the agents to buy that they
have adopted the method of call
ing on we'll known collectors and
making them offers for various Oh
jects.
