WHO WILL LEAD ARMY?
ILLNESS OF THE CHIEF SALVATION HOST DIVIDED (United P.A.—By Telegraph — Copyright) f Australian and K.Z. Press Association) Reed. 1.25 p.m. LONDON, Tuesday. Considerable interest is being taken in the Salvation Army High Council, which has been summoned. Friends of General Bramwell Booth declare that his illness will not prevent him from carrying out his duties, and that furthermore there is no avowed rival in the field for the headship. On the other hand, the other section of the Army holds that the day of oneman control has gone and that the constitution must be overhauled. It would appear that at present the delegates are more or less equally divided.
Miss Evangeline Booth, who so far has been unable to see her brother, declares that if the council decided that the General was fit to continue In office, they must accept the position, but “other issues w r ill then arise/' In any case, it will be impossible to separate without reaching a decision.
