AR CLOUDS over Europe have turned our eyes to the relief agencies that try to alleviate the suffering and misery that always follow in the wake of warring armies. Prominent in this field is the Salvation Army, which did such valiant work in the last war. New head of the army is Commissioner George L. Carpenter, former Territorial Commander of the Salvation Army for Canada, who was elected to succeed General Evangeline Booth, who reached the age limit. He was born in Raymond Terrace, Australia, 67 years ago and joined the Army in that town. From there he rose in posts, mainly in England. At international headquarters, in the Literary Department, he became intimately associated with the then General, Bramwell Booth. The Carpenters are all in the Army. In 1899, the General was married to Ensign Minnie Rowell, who writes on religious and Salvation Army subjects. His son, Captain Gedérge Carpenter, is stationed in Ware, England. His daughter, Miss Stella Carpenter, is on the editorial staff in Canadian Headquarters in Toronto. General Carpenter is a writer, and editors all over the world are used to the familiar script and the initials "G.L.C." Seldom without writing materials, whether on farm, steamer, motor, or station waiting room, the ceaseless s scribbing goes on. His sentences are short and crisp. Throughout Salvation Army circles, General Carpenter is particularly known for his outstanding Christian character, well-defined convictions, a courage to express them, and a world view of current problems gained from training, experience and travel. His succinct statement concerning The Salvation Army is 'This is God's Army, and its foundations are built for eternity.'
