WOMAN TO LEAD ARMY?
COMMANDER BOOTH SAILS (Australian and N.Z. Press Association) (United Service) NEW YORK, Monday. The “New York Times” says that Commander Evangeline Booth, of the Salvation Army, has sailed secretly for London on board the Olympic. The newspaper recounts the Salvation Army’s “most serious crisis,” and adds: “Commander Booth has not put herself forward as a candidate for the
succession to General Booth, but her claims will bo urged by other American delegates. They regard her as the logical choice, it is understood, because she is the daughter of the founder, and because of the growth of the Army in the United States under her leadership. As she is unmarried, and is committed to the revision of the constitution, they have no fear of the dynastic succession in her case.”
