COL. CHARLES YOUNG

Washington D. G., Nov. 14-Announcement is
made by Emmett J Scott, Special Assistant, that the
Secretary Of War has directed as necessary in the
military service that Col Charles Young proceed to
Camp Grant Rockford ILL.,, and report in person to
the Commanding General Of that Camp for assign
ment to duty in connection with the Colored Devel-
opment Battalions at Camp Grant.
In the light of the above announcement and the
enforced retirement OF Col. Young more than q
year ago. read the following editorial from our issue
of June 81 1917:
just as we are cOngratulating ourselves that we
will enter this war with at least on officer of high
rank, word reaches us that our own Lieutenant-Co-
onel Charles Young, the only Army Officer Of color,
graduate of West Point has been sent to the hos,
pita for observation He is thought" to be
suffering with heart affection
This is indeed most unfortunate and very inoppor-
tune at this time. If the thought" should prove a
reality, Col Young will be retired and with his re-
tirement will go a-gIimmerng all hopes for one
Grgadier General
We have recently witnessed so many peculiar
stunts pulled off where we were concerned that we
may be pardOned ii we entertain suspicion that
this is but another subterfuge to hold military
aspirations in check. If Col Young really affected
with heart trouble, it is passing strange that the
same was not discovered until now-now when the
prospects are most suspicious for his promotion to
the command of one of the 5rigades of coored men
that will necessarily be formed under the selectve
draft If he is not asking to be retired, why the
solicude for him at this time when officers are so
badly needed.
1t may be that are unduly moved in the mat
ter; trust that are. If if our fears are con-
frmed and he is retired shall pursue policy of

THE KAISER IN PROPHECY

(Alfred j. Davis Of Minneapolis has taken the fol
lowing verses from Isaiah xiv, 1921, and arranged
them in poetic form without change of word)
How art thou fallen from heaven
O day star son of the morning.
How art thou cut down to the ground
That ddst lay low the nations!
And thou sadst in thy heart
Il will ascend into heaven,
| will exalt my throne above the stars Of Cod
And | will sit upon the mount Of aggregation,
In the uttermost part of the earth
] will ascend above the heights of the clouds,
/ will make myself like the Most High"
Yet thou shalt be brought down to Sheol
To the uttermost part of the pit;
They that see thee shall gaze at thee, saying:
That did shake Kingdoms,
That made the world as wilderness
And overthrow the cities thereof,
That let not loose his prisoners to their homes
All the kings of the nations all of them sleep in
glory,
Everyone in his own house,
But thou art east forth away from thy sepulchre
Like an abominable branch clothed with the slain,
That are thrust through with the sword,
That go down to the stones Of the pit;
As dead body trodden under foot,
Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial
Because thou hast destroyed thy land
Thou hast SLAIN thy people,
Thy seed Of evildoers shall not be named forever.
