TALK OF REVOLT.
General Booth's Reluctance to Retire. COMMISSIONERS CONCERNED. (Received 11.30 a.m.) LONDON, August 24. The "Daily Herald" states that General Evangeline Booth, Chief of the Salvation Army, will be faced with the revolt of some of her senior officers unless she retires when she reaches the age of 73 on Christmas Day, 1938. Certain commissioners, it is alleged, are expressing concern at the apparent reluctance of General Booth to retire, as she is compelled to do under the regulation passed by General Higgins, her predecessor. Otherwise they threaten to summon the High Council to depose her. The "War Cry" to-day, however, publishes a formal denial of a threatened revolt against General Booth.
