ell Of the Salvation Army would
choose tomorrow a successor 10

been voted unfit 20 command.
Foremost among those suggested
in army circles for the generalshir
were Commander Eyangeline Booth.
his sister. who heads the army In
the United States and led the vic
torious reform element, and Com
missioner Edward J. Higgins Of Lon
don. the army's chief-of-staff.
The generals next move was Gag
erly awaited, there being indications
II would be to carry the fight to
the courts. The Daily Mail today
quoted him as saying:
II haven't much money but 7 will
spend what ! have in defending my
position.
Nothing will induce me to retire
from the position 7 occupy. II Vas
and is a sacred trust imposed on
me by my father and it is not for me
to lay 1t down. J should be worse
than a coward, a skunk-if ! do 20
because there is q bit Of rumpus,
and | won't.
II will resist by every means in
my power every attempt to deprive
me Of my trust"
Should the matter reach the courts
il was assumed that legality Of the
councils action would turn on what
constituted un~fitneSs.
The Daily Herald said interpreta-
ton Of the word "unfitness' de-
veloped considerable heat in the
council session.
The general has been i'll but he
asked a little time 20 recuperate. be-
fore decision as to his unfitness
was made.
The general was judged unfit by
a vote of 80 to s after a council ses-
sion of fourteen hours. Every ter
r~itorial commander voted the gen
eral unfit except his daughter, Col
oncl Mary Booth.
Every member Of the council was
weeping, especially the aged men,
bers who had worked long years
with the general. E~yangeline Booth
broke into sobs after she signed the
resolution.
