PAGE TWO HAS WON RI.ACE OF HONOR 6atvati< n Army's Work for Fifty-Fcur Years Recognized as Worthy of the Highest Praise. Exc? ;>t for the war the Salvation Army would ha\e celebruted its fiftieth < birthday four years ujjo. but there rould hardly have been a better rexuiuder of what the army had done and me in a half century than the recent award of the Victoria Cross to iiin-c .->aivaiu>n .\rmy soutiers ior tueir service in France. Fifty-four yours ago tilings were very different: the first appearances of the Salvationists aroused opposition, rowdies tried to break up the meetings, and on at least one occasion members of the future Hrmy were arrested In Knglund us "disturbers of the peace." Originally simply an attempt to make converts by outdoor preaching, the movement which William ?ooth started in July. lSr>.*>, was put on a military busts and hocame ttic Salvation Army in 1 sTS, since which time it lias grown from 75 corps In Kngtand to at>otit O.lHH) corps and outposts in more than 00 countries. The army was otlicially recognized by King Kdward VII wlien lie received the founder at Fuckingham palace In It KM; a ditTerctit yet remarkable "ottic.al recognition" occurred quite recently when n tableau honoring the Salvation Army was made lite A.max of the current "Ziegfeld Follies" on Broadway.

SEE VALUE OF MOTORTRUCK French Busineis Men Reanfce That Their System of Freight Transportation Is Obsolete. That the war brought to France an object lesson in the utility of the motortruck as a means of freight transportation appears in plans now under way to develop a long haul system. It Is hoped thereby to quicken i??t- invi vfim-iii ui ^oous MUM lesson tlu* impatience of various business interests with the slowness of rsillway and waterway trallie. The prnetleabllity of the motortruek as a freight carrier was it revelation to Frenchmen of business who luitl dep< niled in nornial tittles on what would be held nn abnormally slow service. Front Havre to Paris by boat means often a Journey of at least three months, ami at the quickest, which requires special arrangement wltfi the government, takes about four weeks. Commenting on railroad transportation between Paris ami tbe seaports, n Paris business man U reported as saying that front Havre one must expect a delay of one or two months, front Bordeaux a delay of two or three months, ami that "when goods foi Paris reach Marseilles they stay there." The humorous exaggeration illustrates the condition which Is turning Frenchmen to the hopeful project of long hauls by motortrucks, :i solution which will probably develop because the nation is already provided with excellent roads. REMINDED HER OF SALMON American Traveler In Europe Confesses She Would Have Welcomed Dish Once Despised. Klisnbetb Fraser, a traveler and writer, was talking at a diplomatic reception in Paris about her recent experiences In Vienna. "It Is ditlicult, said Miss Fraser. "to satisfy one's hunger there, even at hotels that cost ?1.1 a day. "Fating my unappetizing dish of hashed turnips, which frequently composed the principal dish of the menu. I thought regretfully of the salmon I once disdained on a Canadian trip." Miss I'raser laughed. "I was traveling in the back country of Canada, where salmon boiled, broiled, In salad, creamed, as cutlets ?figured at every meal and became very monotonous. " 'Is there nothing else for breakfast?" I asked the hotelkeeper one morning as a whole tish and pot of mustard was put before uie. "'Nothing else?' the man exclaimed. 'Why, there's salmon enough there foi s,x. ain't lIihic?' "'Yes.' I admitted, 'but I do not want salmon.' " 'Well, then,' mv host replied curtly. 'lire Into the mustard.'" Peanut Now Important Crop. The peanut has accomplished wonders for agricultural development, and ha? Increased production by acres arid doubled the value of land In many sections. It similarly helped Alabama through tbe crisis when the appearance of the weevil played havoc In the cotton fields of that stHte. It has done well throughout the South, and Virginia, which formerly stood first In its production, has sunk to fifth place. The peanut oil industry has added to the value of tha crop and this year the total harvest ami value were the greatest ever recorded. In spite of a reduction In acreage.

LAY ALL UNDLR C0NTR13UTI0N Persian Derv.shea Demand Aim* ae Right, and Simple Peeple Read ily Give Up. A feature of Persian life* which Illustrates the almple ami superstitious nature of the people of the tnldenst is their tolerttnee of the dervishes. These weird, gypsylike beggars infest the cities and annoy the village folk in passing from one place to another. i\ecording to their vows of itinerancy. These are not the whirling tlerv si os of eirctjs fame. Whirling would lie too energetic a form of worship for the members of this most ancient I sure class. Their greatest exertion consists of walking slowly and Mowing a horn to announce their presence. Tin- dervish of Persia is known I?v his hogging howl, conical cap. animal skin cape am* cluh. The wcapui which is usually a stick driven through witli nails, is carried conspicuously. It fact. It seems unpleasantly ready for u>e when its owner calmly demand* trilmt#?. It i8 true that there is stiuill danger of Its use. even if alms art- refused, l>ut a refusal however polite ami npologetleal, is sure to arouse the'wrath of the dervish. Ills vocabulary may he unintelligible, hut the meaning of his threats ami prophecies is usually understood. Fellow citizens of the dervish tribe prefer to make a gift at any cost In order to avoid having the wrath of heaven called down upon them in the masterly language of nn experienced heaven Invoker. The dervish makes himself useful to the community honored hy his presence by telling fortunes and stories, reciting prayers, selling charms and even curing the sick by blowing his sacred breath on them all In return for which he turns over to his chief after deducting a living wage.
