I, Evangeline Booth, of Commerce at Commander Miss head of the forces Army in the United States, will ap- pear at a great mass meeting on Sunday afternoon, January 27, Will be introduced to the cit that city and state, by Governor R. | Livingston Beekman. With delega- { tions from the Grand Army of the Republic and the Boy Scouts as spe- cial escorts and guards of honor, Miss Booth will enter the Majestic theater at 3 o'clock that afternoon and de- liver an address upon ‘The Stars and Stripes.” 1t is believed that this will be one of the most important and rousing patriotic meetings Rhode Island has ever experienced, for Miss Booth, whose abilities as an orator have made her world famous, has a special message to convey, and will discuss the part that women, the world over, are playing in the great war. On Sunday, February 3rd, Com- mander Miss Booth will appear at the Tremont Temple, Boston, under sim- ilar auspices, and again a great pa- triotic meeting will be held. Each of the auditoriums engaged for the oc- casion seat about 3,000 pecople. These appearances of Commander Booth are the unoflicial ovening of a campaign to follow in February—a quick campaign of educating the pub- lic to what the Salvation Army is really doing in the war emergency, and raising a fund of one million dol- lars throughout the United States to sustain the work long since estab- lished wherever the troops of the Allies are to be found. Why She Will Speak. The special message which mander Miss Booth will convey, has to do with these general facts; that when Germany struck at Belgium, the Salvation Army, which in Kurope is a mighty organization and far-reach- ing in its influences, at once mobi- iized when the nations opposed to Germany made ready to defend the cause of a world democracy. From that day to the present moment the Salvationists have been afield, work- ing in perfect un the other recognized organiz mercy, and ving as an important cog the gizgantic machine for war. Miss Booth will tell Thow 45,000 members of the Salvation Army are arms and in the trenches of the Allies in Europe today, and they have bled and died in proportion to their number. while just back of the line and in many c; right up the fighting zones, are 153 Salva- tion hutments. most of them double- deckers, and all teeming with fight who find solace, comfort, rest, recrca- tion and help both material and spir- itual, within easy distance of the ac- tual front. The commander will tell England women how 700 uni- formed officers of the Salvation Army, mostly women, handle this great work, and especially what a benign effect the presence of good women has upon the men who respect them, and who treat them with great defer- ence. Miss Booth will explain much of the war that has not been made clear before, and will particularly show what the work of the Salvation Army has been. At this moment there are 46 ambulances, all given to the Allies and manned by Salvationists, actually at work in the service in France. It will be shown what clean- thinking and upright habits, and a well sustained hope in a future, have to do with enabling men to go ‘over the top’ to victory or to death, with- out a regret or & murmur—and what it all does for the *“morale” which, above every other thing, wins wars. Seven Huts in Europe. When the United States entered the war, the American Salvationists at once reported for duty with the troops —sailors, soldiers and prisoner alike. There are now American hutments over there, be; | a spacious establishment at the gate of every cantonment or military camp in the United States. “Just as we have a do in times of peace,” Gifford, commanding land forces of the “we have that same | times of war. The khaki does not | change the man. We are striving to handle that great element that comes Com- s al work to s Col.

M. C. A. both of whom write us in glowing terms encouraging us in our efforts. If all the organizations on earth that might be equipped and organized to do such work for higher morale ,were to- erect all the huts they could man, there ~would still be tens of thousands of men left wandering about uncared for.
