TO SEND BRITISH WIDOWS TO OVERSEAS DOMINIONS Scheme Has Been Completed by the Saivation Army. From the Entente Allied Base in Saloniki| rondon, Nov. 19—A scheme which has been under consideration for some time by the Salvation Army is now complete for transferring British wid- ows with their tamilies to the Over- seas Dominions and to increase facil- ities for the migration of otiier women desiring o go to Dorinions when the war is over, and the abnormai demand for female labor is exhausted. - In a recent issue of the “War Cry” General Booth intimates that a fund of one million dollars should be raised and $360,000 has already been sub- scribed. ‘The Public Trustee has agreed to act as treasurer of the fund, and the sum asked for should secure the set- tlement of five nd widows and ten thousand children. The work, which recuires careful and gradual preparation on this side as well as in the Dominions for tle proper settle- ment of tre familes, would be con- ducted over a period of five yvears. Close cooperation nciween the Sal- vation Army and the Dominion gov- ernments is already assured, several of the states have already come for- ward with offers of active support, and special representatives are being des- patched to the cclomies at once. General Booth poinis out that under the scheme, worthy idows iiving in e or unsatisfactory envirun- :n Dbe transferred, free of cost to themselves, to prosressive overseas communities where there is more el- bow room for the erergetic and en- terprising, and where she will be for- tified while making ner way, in the knowledge that she has the weight of the Salvaticn Army at Ler back. He sums up the Army’s undertaking on beha:f of the women as follow: “The Army will not advise anyone to migrate or hecome responsible for the migration of any one who may not conform with the stpndards of suita- bility it has set up' through its long experience with migration. “The Army will provide for the re- ception and secure positions in given localities prior to safling for all whom it may sclect for overseas settlement under thic schems. £ ce by 1ts own officers or respon- sible persons, of the families migrated foP four yvears. or until such time as the progress of the new seitlers in- dicates tnat such guardianship can be dispensed with. _ “In the event of tailure to succeed in her new environment after four vears trial, a continency regarded as remote and excentional ,the Army will lt:rmg back the widow to this coun- v General Booth clairas that the re- thus veluniarily under- taken on behalf of the women reach farther and are more comprehensive jthan anything required by state reg- ulation or anything that might be at- tempted by any other orzanization. thur Gibson of Manchester, H., re- ported wounded while hunting in the Wwoods near here Iriday was unable to move, was the object of a search in which several groups of men joined yesterday. Gibson’s plight was discovered ‘Walter Webster of this town, who said he found him beside a wall, wounded in the hip, where he had ac- cidentally shot himself. Unable to bring Gibson out of the woods alone, Webster went to the nearest farm for help and returned, but was unable to find the wounded man. Search was made for several hours Friday night without result and re- newed this morning.
