j ] : ; ) SALVATION ARMY MEETING ABROAD Successor to Booth, il Any, May Be Picked Soon Sunbury-on.-Thames, Eng., Jan. § UP—Possibllity that a decision might be reached by the high coun. eit of the Balvation Army some time tonight on the question of the fu- ture leadership of the Army was advanced-in a well-informed source late toda It was stated thus far there has been no balloting on the quesion of General Bramwell Booth's witness and competence to continue as lead- er of the Army. Because of the lack of official in- formation there were varying re- orts of the council's proceedings. hle it was generally believed that Commissioner Higgins had been named president of the council an- other version.of this was that he had merely presided at the open- ing of the meetipg after ‘which Com- missioner James Hay of New Zea- land was chosen chairman. ‘Watchers outside of Sunbury court were puzzled by blasts on a whistie blown by a guard at the gates as those claiming admission presented themselves. After careful listening and a lit- tle questioning it developed that the whistles comprised /a rather elab- orate code system which had been previously arranged. One long whistle, it appeare meant the passing through of som: one who had been challenged and finally admitted. Two blasts meant that someone was being questioned at the front gate and that a messen- ger from the mansion was urgently nceded. In reserve was an alarm call of three long blasts repeated. This was only to be used if trouble of any kind arose such as an at- tempt to rush the guard. The high council to reach two momentous decisions. These were whether the venerable head of the organization, General William Bram- well Booth, should remain in that powerful and responsible post or should step down because of being incapaciiated by age and illn and whether the present constitution of the army should be broadened. The scene of the meeting was a chamber in Sunbury court, the army’s staff training institute. The newly painted white gates of Bunbury court stood out as an ‘ef- fective barrier against intrusion by unauthorized outsiders with the seri- ous business the council had in hand. The mansion itself, standing well back from the road, lent itself well to the isolation which the powers of the army desired for their proceed- ings. The cave with which it was guarded as the councillors gathered promised well for prescrvation of the aimosphere of secrecy. Uniformed officers wers posted here and there among the bare limbed trees of winter time sur- rounding the mansion while others who were joined by policerhen stood guard outside the gates. Each per- son approaching had to apply at a wicket and saftisty the army guards that his or her credential were cor- rect. The gates were then opgned to admit the applicant if all was found to be right. One of the earliest arrivals was Catherine Booth, the aged general's daughter who has been prominently mentioned as his successor it the present regime is victorious in the struggle, and no exception was made in her casex She as well as the others was required to produce the wpecial permit necessary for any one tc gain admission. In one case, however, the bars to the secluded mansion were let down without question. This was when Mrs. Bramwell Booth and her daughter, Colonel Mary Booth, drove up to the gates. The general as had been an- nounced was too ill to leave his sea- gide retreat and come and take up the cudgels for himself as, with hia well known fighting spirit, he would like to have done. But in his stead, {he general's wife appeared to lead: the fight for him. Her private car. driven by a salvation army officer, was observed as it neared the gates which were immediately npene(Llnd the automobile passed through. Commander Evangeline Booth, head of the American delegation and Jeader of the movement for a re- form of the administrative system, reached Sunbury sometime before the hour set for calling the council to order. Other delegates including the rest of the Americans came along at short intervals. It was understood when the meet- ing began that all 63 members who were expected to attend the meeting were' on hand.

Randall, Champlon Coated Paper Co., with plants in Ohio, also urged that casein, a milk powder, be placed on the free list to enable producers to re-enter the world market against Germany and to reduce the selling price to do- mestic consumers.

A heavy opening was follow- ed by a brisk rally around midday which failed to hold despite the energetic efforts of pool operators to revive bullish enthusiasm. “Bear™ selling by floor traders was an im- portant factor in the day’s liquida- | tion. | Uneasiness over the credit sitn- ation was accentuated by the com- | ment of leading executives at the annual national bank meetings held‘ here today. Most bankers confident- | ly looked forward to a continuation | of good business but emphasized the | danger in a possible credit strain. President Charles E. Mitchell of the | National City bank told his stock- | holders that “experience teaches us | that the danger to every period of prosperity lies in the development of over-confidence, and a consequent | tendency to unwise use of credit.” Call money renewed unchanged at 7 per cent, which rate many bank- ers regard as a normal level for an | indefinite peried.
