Ocean waters used to flow over Maryland. When that state became dry land, it still contained the re- mains of a shark-like fish. the largest fish that ever lived. The remains were first discovered during the past cen- tury. They are chiefly in the form of teeth. but just from the teeth, scien- tists can tell a great deal about what the fish must have been like. It was of the shark family, and ls believed to have been at least 60 feet long. Its mouth must have been large enough to swallow one of the giant turtles. If it ever tried such a. meal. the shell may have been hard on its digestion.

Those mighty sharks have also left their remains in states bordering on the Gulf of Mexico. They must have been feared by everything else in the sea. The only ocean animal which has ever beaten them in size is the mod- ern whale-—which is a mammal. not a fish. - v

LONDON, Feb. L-(By The Cann- dian Press)—_Writing of the crisis 1n the aflalrs of the Salvation Army "One Who Knows” in the British Weekly, says:

“Such things will happen. But it would be a sad and pitiful thing were the Salvation Army so to act as to tear itself to pieces before the face of all people.

“I bring no charge of conspiracy against the seven C- mmissi ‘HUIS who summoned the High Council. I do not doubt that they have the interest of the Army at their heartspnor do I question that they are entirely un- selfish and quite logically convinced in their determination to effect a drastic change in the Army's auto- cracy. But the fact remains they have taken this revolutionary step. at u time when their autocrat is not merely defenseless, but when he is so desperately ill as to be entirely ig- norant of what is afoot.

"The inevitaple consequence of this action is to spread dismay and con- fusion through all ranks of the Army. It does not matter how namy are for the Commissiners and how many arc against them; the stubborn and alarming fact discloses itself that there is a division in the Army. What- ever happens it is now u certain as the existence of oil and water that the old loyalty for itsleaders Which distinguished the Army for 50 years has suffered a shock. and that in con- sequence the stability of the whole structure may be shaken. Many peo- ple. perhaps. do not realize that this in its ramifications. is the creation of the man who lies so tragically strick- en in a. cottage on the Suffolk coast. William Booth, his father. was the creator of all that boundless enthus- iasm which led to the formation of the Army. but Bramwell. working ceaselessly and silently in the shadow of that picturesque personality, was the organizer of victory. He it was who built up and consolidated the ex- traordinary structure which startled people from the first by its solidity, and he it was who quietly andper- alstently controlled the statesmanship of the organization when it was pow- erfully attacked by public men of great eminence and sensatiqnally de- serted by members of General Booth's own family. Bramwell Booth. it should be clearly known, is not merely the second General of the Salvation Ar- my. but its original organizer. its only statesman, and in truth its first auto- crat.

“He is a man of a most curloua per- sonality. Far more emotional than his father. almost as ready to weep as Job Trotter himself, with a tearful voice and the manner of an old-fash- ioned rovivalist preacher, he is also as cool and precise, as hard-headed and far-seeing, as any of the masters of "big business". It is. I think. the strain between this dual personality which has been too much for his ner- vous strength.

"Whatever may be the truth of this baffling personality, so suave and gentle and yet so masterful and so inflexible. certain it‘ is that he has

merely to the overthrow of William South's successor, but‘ rather that it may lead to the dismissal of the Sal- vation Armysfounder. And this is the real crux of the present situation. It is the end of an autocracy. The world is witnessing in the affairs of the Sal- vation Army a. crisis such as it is cer- tain will be witnessed in the more complex affairs of Italy when Signor Mussolini is overtaken by the en- feeblement of age.

“Autocracy is easily the simplest and swiftest way to great achieve- ment; but it has these two Perilous defects. that it breeds no heir and tends to rob its satellites of resolution initiative and individuality. Bram- well Booth has created the most for- midable autocracy in the religious world and now. at the first overshad- owing approach of death to his pil- low, there is a call for a change of government. There is to be a new leader or a new form of leadership. But who is to be this new leader? Has the autocratic system of the Ar- my encouraged genius for leadership? Or is the Army to be controlled by a committee? But the Army came into existence because William Booth found the committee of the Christian Mission stood in the way of a forward and fiery advance against the forts of evil. Surely it would be a sad and ironic case of reversion. or as the Booths would say. of backsllding, if the Army fell into the tentative and delaying hands of a committee.

"I confess that I see no way for the Army out of its present difficulty. I think that Mrs. Bramwell Booth, who is an able and well-iformed person. might have carried on the GeneraYs work for a number of years; but sooner or later some such crisis as

develop. Autocracy. so admirable and essential in making a start, always ends in a. ditch. ‘ “What pains me more than any- thing else in the present situation 01' the Army is the future of those faith- ful, devoted and humble officers who for yearn and for so small a pittance, have served the cause of righteous- ness in the darkest places of our in- dustrial civilization. I feel that the lives of these people. particularly the women. have ennobled the Salvation Army and won for it the respect. the aympdthy, and affection of multitudes who dislike its theology and feel l. certain repugnance for its more pub- llc methods of pl nda. That these devoted and loyal friend; of the poor should be caught up into the politics of the movement seems to. me altogether deplorable, and I hope that whatever steps the High couhou decide to take will not involve them in suffering and lou. “But we are confronted by one do- flnltc danger to the organization of the Salvation Army which must, I think. have a. far-reaching effect on the whole body. For many yearn the rich and powerful branch of the Army In America. with millions of capital. has been reative under the tutelage of England.

A COLLISION-While Mr. some:

Brady was driving along Prince Street V

in his car shortly before 1 o'clock yesterday. I double team coming down Sydney Street driven by a Mr. McFadyen of West River, collided with him. badly damaging the radi- ator, hood and running board of his car. The collision whi was purely accidental was caused y the icy street.

PROMOTION-Mr. Arthur P. Rus-

sell, Executive Vice-President of the New Haven Railroad has announced the appointment of W. l-I. Wright as one of his assistants. Mr. Wright, who has been promoted from the po- sition of manager of the Boston Ter- minal Company. is married to a niece of Miss Florrle Cairns, Char- lottetown. ' FUNERAL _ SERVICES-The fun- eral of the late Patrick Walsh which was largely attended was held Sun- day afternoon from his late resid- ence. 92 Hillsboro- street. to Saint Dunstanb Cathedral. where service was conducted by Rev/F. McQuaid. The pail bearers were:Messrs. Alfred Egan. Cornelius Corrigan. Percy Mc- Nevin. Arthur Bruce. George Chand- ler and Ronald MacDonald. Rev. I". McQuald conducted the service at the grave.

FIRE ALARM-Yesterday at noon the fire department responded to an alarm of fire turned in by reason of a blaze on the roof ofa double tene- ment house on Sydney Street on the premises occupied by Mr. A. How- att. After some chopping and cut- tinll. and the use of the chemical extinguisher. the fire was put out without further damage. Before the first Railway Station was built in this city. this house was used to house the railway ollices, these bo- ing located in one half of it and the chief clerk's residence in the other. After the offices were removed the tenement was occupied by the late Mr. HarryJ-Ioule. who at that time had a contractor: the building of the Rail- way Station. later being appointed Track Master.

well had ordered his sister to take up a command in India or Australia it ls safe to say that the whole Army in America might have risen to defy his his order and break the link with England. That is to say, his autocracy never ventured to cross the Atlantic.

"But will America maintain the unity of the Army if one of the inno- vating English Commissioners~ is elected General, or if a committee is elected to manage its affairs from Queen Victoria street? I do not think so. I think that mutiny of this kind would be followed by division at home and the whole body would soon find itself paralywl by dlsunion. The Army became a mighty thing first be- cause the English nation and then the whole world fell under the spell of William Booth‘; magnificent ap- pearance and his obvious sincerity; it grew in wealth. power and prestige. become Brnnwall Booth mastered and guided its enthusiasm. establish- ed a business-like intimacy with the rich and charitable, and maintained the Booth tradition.
