The mansion where the councillors met was secluded and well guarded and the proceedings were strictly secret. Catherine Booth, the aged general's daughter, who has been prominently mentioned as the successor was one of the earliest arrivals. She was scrutinized like all the others. There was no formality about the entrance of Mrs. Bramwell Booth and her daughter Colmary Booth, however, when they drove up to lead the fight for the ailing general. It was understood that the 83 members ex- pected were all on hand as the coun- cil opened. Veil of Secrecy London, Jan. 8.--A veil of sil- ence was drawn over both camps in the Salvation Army controversy yesterday on the eve of the meet- ing of the High Council which is to decide whether General Bram- well Booth is to continue as Com- mander-in-Chief of the organiza- tion. It was broken only by a bul- letin fssued by Dr. John Weir, physician to the Prince of Wales, and Dr, Ernest Wardlaw Milne, regular adviser to the General. In it they said that the General's men- tal capacity has been umimpaired by his long illness and that he would be ready to resume his work in six months. General Improving The medical pronouncement al- go stated that the commander was "well able to give decisions and ad- vice on important matters." This was recognized on both sides as a strong weapon for the adherents of the General and one of the offi- cials at international headquarters said last night: "I shall be the most surprised man in the Army if General Booth is not adjudicated fit to continue his leadership." The medical certificate revealed nevertheless, that Bramwell Booth was @o ill to attend the council meeting at Sunbury-on-Thames with safety, d To Send Message It was officially stated at inter- national headquarters that the leader would send a message to the council but there was no hint as to its smport., He will be kept in touch with the proceedings by his wife and daughter, Catherine, who will have at their disposal, a direct telephone between Sunbury house and the Booth cottage at Southwold. They intend to use this means of communication in or- der to obtain advice and imstruc- tions from the Genmeral. : It was also learned that Com- mander Evangeline Booth, the General's sister and leader of the element which seeks reform in the Army constitution, intends to ad- dress the council several times. She is expected to emphasize thar there is no desire on the part of her faction to weaken in any way the international sqlidarity of the Army. Needs 17 Votes Only 63 members of the High Council will gather today. The ab- sentee, is Commissioner William E. Oliphant, of London. He is in the south of France on sick leave. His®absence means that General Booth needs only 16 instead of 17 votes to retain his leadership. Nine of these are assured in the four m go'bers of his immediate family and; five other commissioners from 1vZ:rnationa] headquarters, Lon- on. Deep secrecy is to surround the council proceedings. Once the councillors have entered the grounds, they will not be expected to leave until the meeting is over. Newspaper reporters will be rig- orously excluded and the only news given out will be through official bulletins. eee RELIEF FROM CATARRH "Nostroline" is so pleasant. Apply it to vour nostrils. Feel yourself being gradually but surely freed from Catarrh. "Nostro- line" is for and all nose pleasant. 50c. Post PROVINCE IS NOT * BUYING LANDS, DR.
