The activities of the Salvation Army in Shanghai have increased a hundredfold during the past year or s0, chiefly owing to the disastrous effects of the hostilities. Thousands of destitute refugees had to be harboured, including those coming from the distant outskirts of Shanghai, A large refugee camp on Route de Sieyes, run by the Salvation Army, accommodates over 6,000 of these unfortunates—men, women and children, Here, food, shelter and medical attention are provided, and, what is probably more important Ju some ways, the inmates are put at some useful work. Within this camp, but separate from it, has been started a new undertaking, a beggar camp, the number of inmates being added to daily by the regular rounding-up operations of the French Police, These beggars are registered, fingerprinted, scrubbed and generally put into good order, and it is the aim of the Salvation Army to teach them some useful trade, A tough job, 5 an officer admitted, but one which they are prepared to tackle with earnestness and not without hope. The general depression under which Shanghai has been labouring has increased the Army's work among foreigners also, and the Men's Hostel (Yang Terrace) and the Men's Shelter (Amoy Road) rarely have vacant space.
