HIGHER GRADE IN ARMY
FOR MAJ. CHARLES YOUNG
Colored Cavalry Officer, Serving
With Gen. Pershing, Promoted to
Be Lieutenant Colonel.

Among the recent promotions in the
army was that of Maj. Charles Young
10th United States Cavalry, to the
grade of lieutenant colonel. Special
interest attaches to this case for the
reason that, although Col. Young is not
the only colored man to have been
graduated from the United States Mil
itary Academy, he Is the only man of
his race to have reached the rank of
lieutenant colonel, the second highest
in regimental organization. He was
graduated In 1889 and most of his serv-
ice has been in the 9th and 10th Cav
airy, in which he rose gradually to
his present rank. For nearly a year,
while holding the rank of first lieu
tenant. he was attached to the 7th
Cavalry, a white regiment. During the
Spanish war he served as major of the
9th Ohio Colored Infantry, a regiment
months past he has been serving with
his regiment in the punitive expedition
to Mexico under Gen. Pershing.

are eight other colored men holding
commissions in the army. These are

INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS
By DR. HARVEY W. WILEY

What Is 10 become of funda- mental doctrine of pers onal liberty: that a man may eat and drink what he pleases? What is to become of the theory that the development of standard and sterling qualities in man can only he accomplished by stress and strain and temptation? These are serious questions that go to the root of human progress. In regard to the first proposition, it seems plain to me that the prin- ciple of personal liberty cannot be so extended as to cover actions which injure society,". The prin- ciple of free speech is we'll es'ab- lished, but free speech which in- cites riots and bloodshed is not permitted even in this free country. The right of the individual to eat and drink what he pIeaSes and wear the clothes that he likes is restricted by the fundamental principle that a mans actions shall not threaten evil to society at large. If one ln- sists on eating poisoned food and givng it o,his family. he threatens the existence of the state. If one should choose to walk the streets naked, he would offend the rights ot other people, and thus threaten society. Dr. Mary Walker foun 6' that woman's clothes hampered her activities as a war nurse. She had, however, tOget an act ot Con = Sress to permit her to wear mans garb undiSturbed. This may seem silly thing. In so far as 1 can see, a woman does not threaten society in any way by wearing a mans garb. She only threatens convention. and yet the law reg ulates wearing apparel in the in-- terests of decency, propriety,. and good morals. The drinking of in- toxlcating beverages is threat not only to the man who drinks, but to society at large, and thus without intefering with the fundamental rights of the individual or restrict ing proper personal liberty, the state may say, Thou shalt not drink"

4 statement originating in Paris was recently published which sheds new light on the methods of the war In France. It is asserted that the British lost 100000 men in the first three weeks of the Somme offensive and that the loss was due to the use less daring and exposure of British officers and men-"amateurishnes The statement explains in detail how the British rush blindly again and again into traps which the Germans set for them, officers and men trying to outstrip one another. their chief object to get killed" The disaster at, Loos in September. 1915. where a, whole division rushed too far ahead of supports, has been admitted in London. From the beginning of the war the British casualty reports have indicat- ed heavy loss suffered in all close fight Ing. They show weekly losses of about 3O,000 in July. The first year of the war the British lists included loss of, enlisted men and officers Of late only the officers have been regularly report. ed. At the end of July the total cas- ualties for officers were 36.416. The first year of the war the proportion off officers to men vas one to twenty. about normal for military experience: At Loos. Septembery 1915, the loss was. 0,OOO and the ratio twenty-four men. to one officer. It has often been as serted that the number of British off eers hit in battle has been excessive in comparison. One commissioned off. eer to sixteen men is a high propor- tion. and if that is accepted as stand ard the total British casualties have been upward of 60000O. Adopting the rule for the first year of the war, twenty men to one officer. the British casualties have been over 100000. In some of the hardest fighting of the war the proportion Ill the German ar mics has been as low as. one officer to thirty men. The German officers are. of course. well trained. The fact that they figure low In the casualties gives plausibility to the Paris argument that British losses are due to recklessness> and amateurishness.

It is roughly estimated, that the mum. her of children under sixteen years of age who are working for pay in this country is upward of: 100000. Those between the ages of ten and thirteen. years. according to- the gen. eral, census of 1910, include one-sixth of the boys of the country and one twelfth, of the girls. Two-fifths of the boys between the ages of fourteen and sixteen years are. at work and one fifth of the girls. State laws govern ing the employment of children have not been uniform. 4 national child labor law, should insure protection for all children of the nation alike.

SEATTLE'S INTEREST IN FISH
 INDUSTRY
lSeattle Times ]

Ever 1T Alaska fisher men are un- able to obtain desired steamship service on occasional shipments ot halihut destined for this city, that fact does mot constitute valid req son why ann Mort herner should oppose S6attle's. $. effortssto have the industry cen,ered at ketchikan rather. thah at Prince Rupert.
 Seatfle'S steamship companies are 0Nt for all the business they can gec and will da everything pos slble to route It through. this, port. wherever it can be handled profit ably. These concerns are manag- ed by experienced men. who realize :te desirability of building up as Urge a southoound freight move ment as possible because. under normal conditions, the movement northbound always is heavier than that going the other way.
 or course, under exceptional oircumstances-for instance, dur ing the cannery season rush-thev may be forced to refuse other busi- ness occasionally. However, this is a circumstance that arises in the conduct of any transportation bus mess. After experiencing chron- ic shortage of traffic for several years, Eastern railroads within the past two years have been com pel1ed in several instances, to place aniembargo on consignments to certain ports. because ot the con- gession existing at these points.
 When such circumstances arise. t is .ap to the fisherman to make the bast possible disposition of his catch and no one in Seattle will rlse up 70 criticize him if he sends his product to Prince Rupert. Seattle's desire Is to help the Alas ka fish industry, not to handicap it, for the very, sound business reason that everything which promotes the prosperity oi'the Territory tenehts this city.
 Seattle indorsss the policy set forth in the resolution adopted by the Senate that no fresh or frozen 1alibut or salmon frsaps tire North Pacific or its tributary waters shall he admitted into the United States through any foreign country except when the same shall be in bond from an American rart.
 It believes the intent and pur- pose of this resolution is highly oommendable. It hopes to see the Congress of the United States pass this measure or one drafted along similar lines because 1t re. alizes the absnrdity of any policy which permits Canadian city to capture an American industry em- ploying American boats. fishing largely in American waters and supplying the American market.

Dredging the Gaillard cut last year reduced the net earnings of the Pan- anna canal by S3.500.O00 Navigation was long interrupted. and since it was renewed the traffic has been confined to ships of smaller tonnage, probably because of fear that the danger of slides is not positively overcome. Smaller tonnage yields smaller tolls.

MANAGING THE CITY
By Frederic ]. Haskin
Continued from Editorial Page.1

lCOnttnued from Editorial Page
people makes six million dollars. That
is one half of the city's annual ex-
penditures. The other half is raised
by taxation of property and privileges
in the District OF Columbia.
When the commission form of
government was adopted in 1878 Con-
gress had a long and animated row
finally decided to split it fifty-fifty
between the people of Washington
and the people of the United States.
Under this arrangement, and as a re-
suit of exclusive control by Congress,
the present magnificent city has been
built, at a cost of more than two
hundred million dollars, exclusive of
government buildings, all of which
are paid for by the United States.
Having footed one-half of this bill you
are entitled to consider Washington
Just as much your town as it is the
town of the folks that live here and
who have paid no more for it than
you have.
While the "half and half" as il
was called. has produced a magnifl-
cent city, it has been the cause of a
quarrel between Congress and the
people of Washington in recent years.
Congress is asking, for instance, why
their constituents should be taxed for
one-half of the annual bill of the
people of Washington. And now the
people of Washington are asking why
they should be taxed for one-half of
the expense. of things that are bought
because of the national character of
the city. This quarrel has just been
thoroughly threshed out before a joint
committee of Congress, directed to in
vestigate the half and half" and it
Is probable some new basis for the
partnership will be established.
The most interesting thing about
the city of Washington is that it is a
good deal like the giraffe at the circus
which caused the old farmer. upon
seeing him for the first time, to say:
There amt no such ANIMAL" OF
course, you hear lots about Washing
ton, you talk a lot about Washington,
the newspapers print thousands of
columns of news dated Washington.
If you address letter to Washing
ton it gets there. Nevertheless, there
is no such city, except in the records
of the Post Office Department.
The city of Washington was form
ally and completely and legally
abolished by the Act of 1873. In its
place was created the District of
Columbia. There is not to-day one
word or line on the statute books
