Cleveland H. Dodge agrees with Theodore Roosevelt’s recent article for The Outlook about the Salvation Army in England. Dodge laments the break that has occurred between William Booth, the Salvation Army’s founder, and his son, Ballington Booth, as well as the implications that has impacted the organization both in England and the United States. Dodge feels that the Salvation Army cannot fulfill its potential in the United States so long as it is in conflict with Ballington Booth’s Volunteers of America, and consequently, he refuses to support either group. He urges Roosevelt to help the two Booths reconcile before the elder man dies.
