TRIBUTE TO BOOTH.
FRENCH COMMISSIONER.
NO ATTACK ON MORAL PROBITY
Australian and N.Z. Press Association. PARIS, Jan. 22
Commissioner Albin Peyron, head of the Salvation Army in France, who voted for General Bramwel) Booth's deposition, says there never was any question of the Genera' lacking tact in his management of the army's finances, or that he accepted for himself or family gifts or emoluments which were not permitted in the rules.
There has been no attack on the General's high moral probity or on his profound business sense and disinterestedness. General Booth left the Salvation Army the legacy of a pure, fine life. He was a great servant of God and of humanity.
Commissioner Peyron said that although he had asked that tho General should be relieved of his post on account of his age and his failing health, he still counted himself his friend and disciple.
