ton Army, and of Evangeline, who
became commander in the United
States, Ballington Booth at the
age of 26 was sent to Australia as
Commander of the Salvation Army
in that country. He served two
wears and SO we'll did he succeed
that in 1887 he wls transferred 70
America, then regarded as a
doubtful pioneer field, to establish
the Army's work.
New York society received the
commander and his wife cordially.
They were invited to speak at
numerous functions, entered many
homes that had been closed to
predecessors in similar work and
enlisted the support of many peo-
pie of wealth and distinction.
Trouble Starts
In 1896, Ballington Booth was
ordered by London headquarters to
leave America and begin work il
another land. A storm of protest
greeted the order in America. In
fluential friends advised him that
to leave the country would invite
disaster for the movement in the
United States, and petition was
sent to London asking that the
order of transfer be rescinded.
General william Booth contend
ed that, since all Salvation Army
workers took on oath to obey head
quarters without hesitation, he
could not make an exception for
member of his family without
raising the cry of favoritism and
undermining the very fabric of the
organization. He refused to alter
his decision.
Pounds New Order
The result of the controversy was
that Ballington Booth severed his
connection with the Salvation Army
in 1896. The same year, upon the
advice of friends who urged the
establishment of new movement,
he founded the Volunteers of AM
erica. He devoted the remainder Ut
his life to that organization, di-
recting it's efforts in accordance
with the philosophy he SO often
expressed
You cannot talk to man about
God when he is hungry and half
clothed and has no place to Sleep
You have to feed him and clothe
him first"
Ballington Booth was born at
Brighouse, England, July %, 1859.
On September 16, 1886, he married
Maude Charlesworth, the daughter
of an English minister. Throughout
their lives she was actively identi-
fled with her husbands work and
came to be known generally as
Maude Ballington Booth. They had
two children.
New Ideals
When Ballington Booth founded
the Volunteers of America he eS-
tablished it in accordance with his
own ideals. The military organiza-
ton, characteristic of the Salvation
Army, was replaced by a system
OF church government in which
nothing of the old order was re-
tanned except uniforms and titles.
In addition to the religious work
carried on in its stations the Vol
unteers of America maintained soup
kitchens, distributed Christmas bas-
kets and contributed much toward
general charitable relief.
Commander Booth was a tall
strong man OF commanding per-
sonality who was known as a pleas
ing speaker. He was violinist OF
no mean ability, played the piano
equally well and composed a num-
Der of hymns for the use of his
organization.

THE WAR:
Axis Pact

Germany, Italy and japan agreed
to a pact. It amounted to this: If
Russia or the United States inter-
fered in the Anglo-German war, or
the Chino-Japanese war, by force of
arms, all three of the axis partners
would go to work as one. The Krem-
lin at Moscow did not like the pact.
Neither did the state department at
Washington.
One school of thought in America
said they had known it was coming
for long time, and had been pre-
pared for it. Another school of
thought said: No. This school said
that our meddling in European and
East Asiatic affairs at the same time
had forced Germany and Japan into
one another's arms. These two
schools of U. S. thought did not ex-
actly like each other and Secretary
Hull came in for some pretty severe
criticism.

HITLER:
At War

DR.. Foster Kennedy is strongly
anti-Nazi. DR.. Foster Kennedy Is
also one of New York city's lead
ing neurologists. DR.. Foster Ken
nedy got interested in Adolf Hit
ler's first World war record.
The general impression was-that
Hitler had been blinded, in 1918, by
British poison gas. In his own book,
Mein Kampf, Hitler says that he
was wounded on the Somme in 1916,
and blinded by gas on the User in
1918. At that time, Hitler was a
sub-corporal and message runner
in royal Bavarian reserve regi-
ment. He had volunteered for this
in 1914.
DR.. Kennedy, however, says that
Hitler's medical war record was in
spected in 1881 by close friend of
his-one Of Europe's most distin-
guished medical men, with an in
ductive approach to things. The
record showed that Hitler had had
only single hospital admission, and
that was for ''hysterical amblyopia"
that is, blindness due to hyste-
ria" Blindness due to hysteria
means subconscious fear. DR.. Ken
nedy says his medical friend looked
for the record again, in 1894, the
year after Hitler had come to power.
The record, by golly, had disap-
peared.

SOLID?
Maybe

Inc united States senate did a
sensible thing. 1t finally proceeded
to ratify the recent agreement made
at Havana de Cuba, whereby Amer
lea and the other 20 American re-
publics made an out-and-out agree
ment on diplomatic fundamentals.
It is pretty hard to get the 81 to
agree about anything, but this time
they did, the Argentine Gas usual
dragging along a bit behind. Secre-
tary Hull is not liked in the Argen-
tine.
The agreement that our senators
ratified specified this: That no non
American country can transfer ter
ritory in this hemisphere to any 9TH
er non-American country. Hence,
and thereby, the Germans cannot
get ahold of the Dutch or French
West Indian colonies. That bit of
news seemed to cheer everyone of
the 81, including even the Mexicans,
Argentines, and other Latins who
do not cherish their kindly old Uncle
Sam as perhaps they should.

CHEERFUL:
Charming

It was revealed, in Washington,
that the United States army has
been making a careful survey of
the coffin-casket industry. This did
not cheer the nervous public, nor
did it charm them. In fact, some
people were alarmed, and not with
out reason.
A u. S. army major answered the
public with the following statement:
when you have an army, you have
to figure it's going to fight some
day. Fighting means casualties,
and casualties call for caskets.
That's all there is to it. Just a
simple matter Of being prepared
with essentials. Caskets are like
the rest Of the gadgets we use." It
was indeed a simple fact.
