LITTLE PEACE YET
LONDON, Jan. 28. (AP)
Prospects for peace In the Salva
tion Army's legal battle over a
successor to the deposed general,
Bramwell Booth, appeared meagre
tonight in authoritative Army
quarters.
On the eve of reopening . the
case in Chancery court tomorrow
morning, Army officers said they
saw little hope for peace. 1
Those in official circles said
Bramwell Booth's lawyers made
an offer to Army solicitors over
the week end to the effect that
ueneral Booth would make cer
tain reforms if adjudication in
court were set aside. It was stat
ed, however, that the high council
would maintain Its stand that
Bramwell Booth no longer was
general and, therefore, was not
in a position to make such an
overture.
Should Bramwell Booth with
draw his action tomorrow, the
council would reconvene Thurs
day and Immediately consider
"the easiest way out" for the de
hira the honorary title of retired
general and. retirement funds
posed leader, probably voting
sufficient for his present and fu
ture needs.
Should the general fight on,
however, the councillors would
consider essential the etahjish
ment of the validity of the 1904
deed pool, not only as justifica
tion of the high council.-meeting
but as a means already provided
for forcing Bramwell Booth to di
vest himself of the sole trustee

funds and properties.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 28. (A
P) The navy department took
the first step toward establish
ment of a base for Mghter-than-air
craft on the Pacific coast with a
proposal to congress by Secretary
of the Navy Curtis D. Wilbur that
$6,000,000 be appropriated for
such an air field.
The location of the air field
would be decided by a board of
navy officers, Secretary Wilbur
eald, discussing the proposal, and
a tract of about 1,000 acres would
be required tor it.
The action follows the letting of
contracts by the government last
fall for construction ot two -new
airships tor the navy and recalls
the statement made by Assistant
Secretary - Edward P, . . Warner in
which he said a second air base is
necessary to supplement the Lake-
hurst field in caring . for lighter-
Ihan-alr craft. The opinion was ex
pressed then that the Pacific coast
was the logical place tor the hew
base. The department already has
