General Eva Booth
Near Retiring Age

Senior officers of the Salvation Army are once again concerned with the future of the "General- ship." General Eva Booth," " the present head of the "Army," is 72 years of age. Under the regula- tions she should retire at the age of.73.

Portugal has always been a good customer of British arms firms. During the last four years for instance, a large part of her Navy has been entirely rebuilt in British" The vessels completed. dockyards
