V TAPS FOR COLONEL YOUNG News of the death at his post in Liberia of Colonel Charles Young will be received with profound regret by thousands who knew and loved him. Nor is this regret confined to mem bers of his own race of which he was such a worthy and distinguished mem ber. He had hosts of admirers and friends among soldiers and civilians of the dominant race, for he was that type of man who commanded esteem among all with whom he came in con tact. Entering West Point Military Academy where he encountered the traditional race prejudice of that in stitution, he so conducted himself as a gentleman and a scholar '’■'at he practically revolutionized the senti ment there and was graduated as one of the most popular men in his class. The key to his success there is found in the fact of his determination to combat prejudice by making himself the best in everything he undertook. This characteristic was dominant throughout his military career. Known as one of the strictest disciplinarians in the Army, Colonel Young was idol ized by the men of his command. The affection and admiration in which he was held by the gallant black troop ers of his command disapproved the fiction, widely promulgated with de sign, that Colored men will not serve successfully under Colored officers. The revulsion of feeling against the administration which swept across the 1 country in 1917 when Lieutenant-, Colonel Young was retired "for dis- j ability,” demonstrated not only his popularity, but the fact that our race was not hoodwinked by the trans parent hypocrisy of the trick, the pur pose of which was to prevent his pro motion to a general, 250 of whom were appointed immediately following Young’s retirement. Colonel Young subsequently demonstrated his fitness by his long horseback ride from Xenia to Washington. His conduct upon his retirement, although it was a keen disappointment to him, was worthy of the man. His letters to friends, who had written him, and to the race press, bespeak the man. He was in tensely interested in every movement for the advancement of his race and took special delight in encouraging young men to develop the highest and best in them. A soldier by profession who served his country loyally and maintained an untarnished record, Charles Young was also a musician and composer of merit, and a wiiter of ability. He was a credit to Amer ica and a representative of our race to whom we may point with pride. Taps have sounded for a valiant soldier. “Soldier, rest! thy warfare o'er; Dream of fighting fields no more; Sleep the sleep that knows not break ing, Mom of toil, nor night of waking.” DEATH OF THE ROMAN PONTIFF The passing to his reward of the spiritual head of 300,000,000 Chris tian people is an event in which the whole world is interested. This gen eral interest is heightened by the fact that the latest incumbent of the historic See of Rome was a man not only of high intellectual gifts, but of the broadest charity and human gym- j pathy and singular sweetness of character. Those who had met and known Pope Benedict XV. spoke of these as dominant notes of his char acter. There can be no doubt that he was an ardent advocate of peace and that he was sore distressed when he realized his impotence to stay the strife even between the European Roman Catholic countries which ac- j knowledged his spiritual oversight! and supremacy. Perhaps the most noteworthy achievement of his rather brief pontificate was the advance made towards a better understanding and relationship between the Vatican and the Italian state, between which there has been hostility since 1870. Millions of adherents throughout the Latin communion sincerely mourn his | death, ardently pray for the repose of his soul and that the cardinalate may be guided to choose a worthy suc | cessor. AN IMPROVEMENT — i The Monitor has been pleased to notice an improvement in our local daily press in the reporting of alleged crimes. In two or three cases the Omaha Bee did not mention the na tionality of the criminal. The World Herald did not headline “Negro;” it headlined the holdup and in the body of the article stated that the culprit was a Negro. We are gratified to notice this change in the reporting of alleged crimes, which stresses the crime rather than the race or nation ality of the criminal. THE WILL TO WIN In times of discouragement men and women are prone to lose heart and give up the straggle. This is all wrong. Where there is the will to win, and the dogged determination to hold out success will eventually come. The only real failure is the failure to try to do one’s level best. And if after having done one’s best the expected results do not imme diately come, don’t give up, keep on trying. HIS WILL I’m weary of this life on earth— My soul and I. The “second birth” I’d greet with joy. To find release From pain, one hour of peace, Would give my longing soul surcease; And yet the Master holds me here. Why? He knows best, and I through fear Do hesitate to cut the breath That separates my soul from death. Not that I fear the after life, Since all these years of pain and strife To sleep the sleep of peace and rest Would surely be for me the best. But since the Father wills it so, It cannot be my time to go. And so I fear 'twould not be brave To force the issue that I crave. So I will bide the Master’s time And bow unto His will sublime. MRS.

EXPECT PATIENT TO SURVIVE United State# Suffers Chiefly From Ex cess of High Temperature and De ficiency of Moisture—Some Recent Disasters. New York.—The old spheroid known as the earth is emerging from what some human diagnosticians might call a severe attack of meteorological j mumps. It has been accompanied by an Intermittent fever, manifested in a worldwide heat wave of unusual length and intensity. In spite of crises and relupses, earthquakes, tidal waves, cloudbursts, typhoons, waterspouts, hailstorms, floods and hurricanes in ' many widely separated parts, from i Kamchatka to Cape Horn and from Guum to Guadeloupe, the doctors are confident the patient will recover, i Meanwhile the United States for the { last year has been suffering chiefly | from an excess of high temperature | and a deficiency of moisture, a condi tion unprecedented in tlie fifty years’ history of the weather bureau. Suffers Heat Waves. The persistent higher temperatures, i for which a number of speculative ex planations have been given, begun In j August, 1920, and for the succeeding ! twelve months there wus an average monthly excess above normal of 3.4 , degrees. March, 1921, an unusually i warm spring month, had an excess av erage of 10.8 degrees. The first slight break in the record occurred last Au i gust, which was slightly beluw normal. In the nine months’ period beginning j in October, 1918, and ending in July. 1919, the average monthly temperature j was 2.71 degrees above normal, and this was a record until sun spots, sea bottom upheavals or other hypothetical causes sent the mercury still higher. The highest average temperature ever recorded in this country for the month of March, weather officials say, was I 48.3, in March, 1921. The average temperature for April. ! 1921—55 degrees—was the warmest for that month In half a century. May and June were not unusual, but July broke all records for the preceding eleven years. Weather bureau officials here de clined to discuss the possible connec tion between the present high tempera tures and disasters of nature In many parts of the world. A glance back for recent disasters and natural phenomena shows the following: Two million Koreans starving In Manchuria owing to drought-ruined crops. Three hundred buildings wrecked and many killed by hailstorm and wa terspout at Baez, Cuba. Three volcanoes, Villarica, Llaima and I.anin, spout flames more than a thousand feet from craters. Drought kills fish in river Seine and France suffers most severe drought In 47 years. Rhine and Moselle rivers do great 1 damage in highest flood in 136 years. Cloudburst and hailstorm damage at Rome, Italy. Mount Vesuvius shows activity aDd earthquake shock Is felt from Leghorn to Lake Lugino. Italian destroyers carry inhabitants to safety as volcano Stromboli re sumes activity. Damage of several million drachmas done in Greece by severe hailstorms. Earth Blocks Canal. Earth blocks Corinth canal. Cyclone devastates three towns In Haiti. ; Volcano Kllauea in Hawaii spouts Immense fountains of lava. Activity of the volcano I'opocatapetl , In Mexico increasing Earthquake shakes Vera Cruz and four other cities. Lightning strikes oil wells, causing millions of dollars damage in Tampico and other districts. Mexicans pray to “water goddess” to end drought. Volcano Colima in Jalisco is in erup tion. Many lives lost in waterspout which destroyed part of Tangier, Morocco. Volcano Masaya In Nicaragua in eruption. Typhoon and floods in Philippine# and especially on island of Luzon, do great damage. Six new craters opened at Mount Izalco, Salvador. Waterspout In Mala-Doura, province of Spain, damages crops and villages. Heat in the Alps causes glaciers to shrink and nine mountuln climbers are killed. Seventy-five dead in tornadoes which sweep southern United States. Flood inundates Pueblo, causing J10, 000,000 property loss. Forty-seven perish in San Antonio j (Texas) flood. One consolation of the freak weath er. however, is the prospect of an “open winter.” Find Burled Treasure.
