SAN FRANCISCO. (AP) Aa a re sult of his effort "to crash" Jail 43 years ago, young George H. Davis Joined the Salvation Army. Now, at 61, he become director of its world wide evangelistic work. He Is Col. George H. Davis, chief secretary for the army'a western United States territory, who has been appointed "International spiritual special" by Oen. Evangeline C. Booth, one of the highest posts received by an American officer. His conversion came at 10. It was at a Methodist revival conducted by a Quaker minister. "Boy Preacher" In 1R92 Young Davis turned from the status of a "boy preacher" In Pitts burgh, Pa., to that of Salvation Army soldier in 1893. he recalls, as direct result of arrest of the army'a captain there for preaching on a street corner. "I thought that as a good Christian I ought to go to Jail too." he says. "I was afraid the police might pass me up as I was. so I buckled on a drum so I couldn't be missed." It took persistent courage to con duct atreet meetings in those days. "We were beaten, pelted and made victims of riota." he remembers. "We used to have to lock arms with our women folk inside a square and go out Into mobs howling and shouting they would kill us. It went on until one old man was killed. lie died In my arms." "I'll Be a Bum" His new work will carry him all over the world. I'll be a bum," he laughs, "Just a wanderer on the face of the earth." His orders call for him first to spend three months In New Zealand. for which he will sail from here August 20. Salvation Army work seems to go with his family too. His wife was formerly sn officer, and one of his two sons Is now one of Its captains. NOTED WRITERS AT By Muud Pool Col. Robert A.
