NEGRO SOLDIERS DISCHARGED.
Drastic Order Issued by President
Roosevelt,

Washington, D. C.-By order Of
President Roosevelt, acting upon a
report made to him by Brigadier-Gen-
eral E. A. Darlington, Inspector-Gen-
eral Of the Army, every man Of Com

Infantry, a colored organization, will
be discharged without honor from
the Army and forever debarred from
re-enlisting in the Army or Navy. as
well as from employment by the
Government in any civil capacity.
phe action is one Of the most dras-
tic ever taken by the President and Is
sure to cause a sensation throughout
the service. The refusal of members
of the battalion to give General Gar

Gated In the shooting of citizens at
Brownsville, Texas, near Fort Brown,
where the troops were stationed on

to recommend the discharge Of all Of

1t is an example for the enlisted per-
sonnet Of the service which will
doubtless have a good effect.
General Darlington says in his re-
port that the men appear to stand
together to resist the detection Of the
guilty, and for this reason they
should stand together when the pen

REMAKING THE WORLDS MAP
A German Predicts That Asia and
Africa Will Make Great Strides.

Professor Theodore Schiemann, OF
|, Berlin, Germany, in his monthly re.
| view of foreign affairs, makes some
interesting speculations in regard tc
the changes which will probably take
place in the world by the time the
Kaiser's grandson, who was born on
July 4, ascends the throne as William
w.
The professor thinks it is clear that
the peoples Of Asia and Africa will
increase in power and strength. The
victory of the yellow Japanese has
stirred them and European civiliza-
ton, which is imparting new knowl-
edge to the lower races, will inevita-
bly, produce far reaching effects. 1t
will be far more difficult, the profess
| sor says, for Great Britain, France
and Russia to maintain supremacy,
over the Asiatic and African races
than now.
The Hindu Banerji was recently
crowned King Of Bengal. The Eng
lish laughed at the fact, but none can
deny that there will be real rule by a
native king Of Bengal after two gen.
erations. The influence Of Japan's
victory will also extend to Persia
and Afghanistan, and a pan-Asiatic
movement is becoming possible in
India, China, Persia and Afghanistan.
In fact, all Asiatic peoples are looking
forward to a termination of European
rule.
In the same way in North Africa,
throughout the area from the Medi-
terranean west to Timbuctoo, a great
pan-Islamic movement is gaining
Roadway, while at the same lime an
Ethiopian movement among the ne
groes in South Africa is steadily
gaining in strength, and the only
white race with a future in South
Africa Is the Dutch.
Professor Schiemann proceeds to
argue that surprising changes will
take place in North America. Both
the United States and Canada are in
danger of losing their Anglo-Saxon-
ism and becoming a tower of Babel
for Germans, Irish, Italians, Span
iards, Slavs, Negroes and Jews. The
Panama Canal will revolutiontse COM
mercial communication with the
countries of the Far East and dis
turb the balance Of power In the Pa
cifc Ocean.
Professor Schiemann prophesies
that wars and revolutions in Europe
will lead to important changes In the
Balkan peninsula. Far reaching
changes are also probable in Austro-
Hungary and Russia, but in general
Europe will present the same appear
ance when William w. ascends the
throne that it does to-day.

The World as 1t Is.

A world without mistakes and

without real men and women, with

out love, and even without history,

toward better and higher things.
Without obstacles to overcome and
errors to- correct men and women

Augustus Trabing, the star mail

CHICAGO SW|NDLER CAUGHT
Accused of Tremendous Fraud
ulent Deals.
Charles Whitney Norton Arrested by
the Chicago Police-Been Search
ing For HIM For Months.

Chicago, Iu.-Charles Whitney
Norton, said by the police and postal
authorities to be responsible for ez-
tensive swindling operations, is un-
der arrest here. He will be turned
over to the Federal officers. It is
asserted that Norton has defrauded
people in all parts of the United
States out of bonds and securities
amounting to $3,O00,000..
In his room were found bonds,
stocks, abstracts Of land titles, first
mortgages. and other negotiable
papers, the greater part Of which is
thought to be genuine, and worth al
most $4,000 00. Othere papers
were found valued on their face at
about S1,000,000 more, but their
value is doubtful. 1t is held that
Norton by selling and trading these
securities has made many thousands
of dollars. The postal authorities
say they have been searching for
Norton since January, 1905, when
he disappeared from Detroit, ostensi-
bly, to go to London.
About two years ago Norton was
in Elmira, N. Y, operating the
American Wholesale Brokerage Com
pany. 1t is also asserted that he
was arrested once in Troy, N. Y, and
also in Rutland, VT, where he served
a sentence of one year in Jail for
the fraudulent use of the mails. He
is also said to have done business in
Toledo, Ohio.
Titles and deeds to lands in Ne
braska, Kentucky, Tennessee, Vir-
ginia and other States, running into
thousands of acres, were found in
Norton's possession. One deed de-
scribing $4,000 acres. of pine lands
in Virginia and another describing
10000 acres in Nebraska appeared
to be genuine.
