By the Associated Press. HADLEY WOOD, England, June 17. ~—Death, coming suddenly, ended %mlully yesterday the life of Gen. illiam Bramwell Booth, after a turbu- lent battle to remain at the head of the Salvation Army. He was 73 years old and 56 years of his life were de- voted to the army founded by his father. A communique issued from his home last evening said he had suffered o re- | lapse. A short while afterward an an- nouncement was made that he hnd‘ passed away shortly after 9 p.m. Hls] wife and family, with the exception of his daughter, Commissioner Mary, who | was in Germany, were with him. | In London Gen. Edward J. Higgins, successor to the deceased at the head of the Salvation Army, said, when told | of his death: i “Gen. Booth was a great man. His| 16 years of leadership embraced the| period of the World War, but his skill and wisdom brought the army through &8 an unbroken international unit. Gratitude for his life and notable serv- dces will be expressed by our mem- bers all over the world.” Army Funeral Suggested. Gen. Higgins and other army chiefs expressed the wish that Gen. Booth be | given a ceremonial army funeral sim- ilar to that accorded his famous father, the late Gen. Willlam Booth. One effect of the general's death, 1t was believed, would be to put an end to all further litigation connected with the army's leadership, thus saving the surviving leaders anxiety and the army itself considerable expense. It was be- lieved distress he felt at deposition as head of the army had an adverse effect upon his physical conditicn and may have shortened his life somewhat. Throughout yesteggday the general remained conscious ard was able to rec- ognize his wife, his daughters Dora and Olive, and his two sons as they stood at his bedside. Death Very Sudden. It was only just before the end that he lapsed into unconsciousness. One of his family said “death came very sud- denly, but perfectly peaceful.” Those by the bedside were praying for him. At the end of their prayers they looked at him and saw he had ceased to breathe. His face wore a complete calm. Gen. Booth was removed from his office as commander in chief of the army in February, 1929, when after a long fight the high council of the army ruled he was physically unfit to con- tinue his work. The ouster followed owth of a reform movement within e army in which his own sister, Comdr. Evangeline Booth, head of the army in the United States, lined up with the reformers. Flags Not Lowered. Covered with a Salvation Army ban- per, the body lay in his pleasant sub- urban house here today. Not a flag was lowered at the international head- a.x:rurs in Queen Victoria street. “We 'p our sumdum flying hlgh " said l high official. “For Gen. Booth is no dead—he has passed to glory. But though the army tradition does Mot admit loss there was in evidence everywhere among the Salvationists a deep sense of personal loss that they felt at the 73-year-old general's death, #0 quietly and suddenly last night after final months of life which had been filled with the agony of ill health, dis- tasteful wnm]ctp:; de(;?.t - ‘The general spoke to lam! 8- ferday afternoon before he hpud fiw unconsciousness.

Mrs. Booth received a message of sympathy from the King reading as follows: “The Queen and I have heard with Pegret of the death of Gen. Bramwell Booth and we T you our sincere sympathy in your bereavement. With his father, he wgll always be gratefully remerobered as the promoter of the GEN.

Bramwell Booth lay dead, the great Salvation Army leader's son and secretary, Capt. Wycliffe Booth, today told the Associated Press hamclyl tales of his father's private life hitherto unrecounted. Pride triumphed over grief as Capt. | Booth reviewed the simple incidents, whlch have now become history. “I cannot sufficiently emphasize my father's complete devotirn to the Sal- vation A and its founder,” he de- clared. At the age of 18 be became an officer in the Christian Mission. At the aEe of 23 he became the founder's right hand man, and until the founder's death filled a Jieutenant’s job, aiways effacing himself as a background for the founder. There was more than the ordinary love of a father and son between those two. Théy complemented each other. Light in Father’s Window. “My earllest chfldhood memories are linked with the vision of my father re- turning home late at night from meet- ings, and, after greeting my mother and us children, looking for the light in the upper window of the house oppo- site, which indicated that the founder was awaiting the visit of his son be- fore going to sleep. “That bright light was never ex- tinguished, regardless of the latcness of the hour, until Bramwell had re- counted the day's doings and told the founder good night. “Close as my father was to his chil- dren, and he was a wonderful father despite his busy life, there was no such rehncmship between us. “On the founder’s eightieth birthday Bramwell showed him the plaudits and eonmtuhunns from the press and notable fi, from all of the world, extolling him and ‘work. Tsn’t that wonderful, father?” “The founder turned to his son with an affectionate smile. “It’s not what they say I am, but | what I am—and what you think I am,’ he replied quietly.” Service Sunday Night. A great funeral service before Gen. E)e&h'l burial will be held in Albert Hall Sunday night. Gen. Higgins will conduct the service, assisted by inter- national commissioners. Gen. Booth will be buried in the fam- ily vault at Abney Park Cemetery, be- side his father and mother. On Mon- day the body will be taken from inter- national headquarters of the Salvation Army in Que!n Victoria street to the cemetery by same route as that taken for ms funeral of the Army's founder in 1912. ‘The Booth family has expressly stated its desire that no flowers be sent, which is in harmony with the Army's tradi- tion n ithis matter. Gen. Higgins can- celled visits to Finland and Sweden to conduct the funeral of his deposed predecessor. _— | Bramwell asked him.
