"ARMY" ANGER AT WHISPERS
ALLEGED EFFORT TO DESTROY HARMONY. ·
(By F. W. Memory)
INDIGNATION has been aroused throughout the Salvation Army by a "whis- pering campaign" which, high officials state, has re- cently been set afoot with the apparent object of des- troying the harmony of the organisation.
General Evangeline Booth, the Army leader, is said to have been made the subject of many false reports.
It has been sug-,
gested that the Army is dis- contented with her leadership, and fears she is determined to retain the generalship even al- though advancing years should make her resignation desirable.
There is even been an attempt by public but anonymous advertisement
