Jimmy, our office boy, wonders which would be the more effective defence aâ€" gainst such temperature, ‘‘canned‘"‘ heat or antiâ€"freeze. Perhaps some of our northern friends can enlighten him on the point. In reference to the discussion that has been going on in some newspapers relative to the alleged attitude of the Salvation Army towards fraternal societies, it is evident that There is danger of a general misunderstanding of the question,. _ Most people will find it impossible to believe that the Army would condenin or ban any of the recognized secret fraternal socieâ€" ties. In all such matters the Army has aâ€" name for being broadminded and tolerant. When Adjutant Crowe, of the Timmins S.A. was asked this week about the supposed ban on fraâ€" SALVATION MRMY NOT toocrs Adjutant Crowe, Seventeem Years an Officer, Says Present Discussion the First he Has Heard THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO 6. I have yet to hear one unkind eriticism of the Masonic or Orange lodges by any S.A. officer, many of whom I know well. It has been amusâ€" ing to me to read certain threats of people who have withheld donations to army funds. Why, bless you, the The pamphlet which is the bone of contention affects only such members of the army as have consecrated their whole time to the army‘s serviceâ€"i.e. about twenty or thirty thousand offiâ€" cers, in the whole world, so I underâ€" stand. / Thus ten of thousands of Salâ€" vationists and adherents may join a lodge, thousands, in fact, are members, and the order from headquarters does not affect them,. You will thus see that the army is not blackâ€"balling inâ€" discriminately all secret societies, but an order of expediency which will assist officers in fulfilling their vows. 5. Members and adherents of the army are not prohibited from ‘being lodge members. It is not generally known that upon taking the vow of officership a man does not contract to sell to the army eight or ten hours of his time, but all of his time. He is ordained subject to eall at any hour, and to go to any place his leader chooses to send him. If these condiâ€" tions are against his ideas of personal liberty, wh» let him serve eleswhere. There is no compulsion, save the. comâ€" pulsion of love. Time is the one salable commodity which all men possess, and they may dispose of it as they see fit. If a man cares to take the religious vows of an army officer, suffer certain inconveniâ€" ences, selfâ€"denial, and restrictions beâ€" cause of it, well, that‘s his buginess. Certainly there is no call for a volley of seathing letters against the orgaâ€" nization. a red cap at the Union depot, would you call him a slave. If an Eaton elevator man MUST wear uniform on duty, and MUST NOT smoke on duty, is he a slave? Because a brakeman hires out to a_ railway company knowing he may be called from sleep or pleasure in order to serve, would you say the railroad is interfering with his personal liberty ? 4. I should. army â€" officers would resent the claim that they are serfts, and are deprived of personal liberty. All men have time to sell, and it is the individual‘s business to whom, and under what conditions, he sells it.

As a member of the Independent Order of Foresâ€" ters, and one who moves intimately among officers and soldiers of the army, I am in a position to make several definite statements which have not yet appeared in any of the letters to the eity press. the real faets of the case were adeâ€" quately set forth in the following letter apearing last week in The Toronto Star :â€" To the Editor of The Star. ternal societies, he replied that he had been seventeen years in the Army service and this was the first he had heard of it.
