Chaplain Scott Sent To Mexican Border His Leaving Honolulu Is Cause of Regret to Officers and Enlisted Men on the Island. NINE YEARS WITH REGIMENT Wielded Great Influence In Developing Spiritual and Intellectual Life of the Command. Honolulu, Hawaii, June 24.—Many expressions of deep regret are being heard on the part of officers and enlisted men of the Twenty-fifth Infantry on account of the fact that Chaplain Oscar J. W. Scott, has completed his duty with the regiment, on foreign service, and has been ordered back to the United States (the mainland) for assignment to one of the regiments of the Colored troops stationed on the Mexican border. The Chaplain is popular with the official and enlisted personnel of the regiment and they dislike to see him leave. The Chaplain has gone beyond the ordinary bounds of his office and has interested himself in every phase of the regimental life where he could be of influence in directing the men to strong and manly character. He has taken a vital interest in clean athletic sports and was always one of the best rooters at the important baseball games. He has been the inspiration of many a young man's determination to improve his mental faculties while a soldier in the army and has conducted with marked success, a post school for the enlisted men of the regiment. He has built up a splendid regimental library, having solicited books in various parts of the country for this purpose, a strong literary society which bears his name is also one of the products of his labors. Chaplain Scott has been with the 25th Infantry for nine years. He is a graduate of Ohio Wesleyan University and of Drew Theological Seminary and is one of the ablest ministers of the country. NATIONAL TRAINING SCHOOL DOING GOOD WORK Durham, N. C., June 24.—In founding and conducting on a sound business basis the National Training School at Durham, N. C., Dr. James E. Shepherd has registered his name among the foremost educators of the land, regardless of race. The institution is now out of debt and its future is exceedingly bright. The trustees have made a budget of $321,000 to be used for the following purposes: for the endowment fund, $250,000; administration building and class rooms, $36,000; for dormitories, $20,000; and for a central heating and water plant, $15,000. The institution covers a cold peculiarly its own and plans to do a work covered by no other school. Famous Black Trooper Ambushed by Mex Outnumbered Ten to One Tenth Calv Valiantly for Five Hours. Famous Black Troopers Ambushed by Mexicans Outnumbered Ten to One Tenth Calvary Fights Valiantly for Five Hours. El Paso, Tex., June 22.—Forty American soldiers are reported to have been killed and seventeen known to have been captured in a pitched battle when the Tenth cavalry was ambushed by Mexicans near Carrizal Wednesday. The Mexican authorities profess complete ignorance of the extent of Mexican cousalties in the battle which followed ambushing of the Negro troopers of two companies of the Tenth. Latest reports are that the troopers were lured into the hamlet of Carrizal under a flag of truce. From reports received by state department agents, mining companies and the Carranzista officials here, it appears that two troops of the Tenth cavalry were on scout duty near Carrizal when they were discovered by Carranzista outposts. Americans Ambushed These Mexican troopers hastened back to the hamlet. General Felix Gomez, commanding the de facto troops in the town, ordered machine guns secreted on the roofs of houses and hid his men behind adobe walls. A small company of Mexicans was sent to the west part of the town to Omaha Girl Graduates From Conservatory Boston, Mass., June 24.—At the commencement of the famous New England Conservatory of Music held Tuesday afternoon in Jordan Hall, eighty-six graduates received their diplomas. Among them was an Omaha young woman, Mrs. Florentine Frances Pinkston. Mrs. Pinkston, who was formerly Miss Cassells, is the daughter of Mrs. H. J. Crawford, of 2214 North 28th Street. A few years ago she was married here to J.-H. Pinkston. As she was talented in music, soon after their marriage Mr. Pinkston decided that they should go to Boston where his wife might have the privilege of completing her musical education. Mrs. Pinkston began her musical studies in Denver as a pupil of Madame E. Azalia Hackley. ST. JOSEPH'S GETS $1,000 Philadelphia, June 24.—By the will of the late Horace Haverstick, $3,000 is left to St. Joseph's Seminary, Baltimore. The Magdalene Society for Colored Girls at Germantown also gets $1,000. Troopers led by Mexicans the Tenth Calvary Fights Five Hours. wave a flag of truce. The unsuspecting American cavalrymen rode into the ambush. When the Mexicans opened fire from their machine guns the Negro troopers fought back like fiends. General Gomez was killed, his body literally riddled with American bullets. The Americans charged the unseen Mexicans in an effort to recapture several of their number and inflicted casualties, the unofficial reports stated. They were finally forced to retire in face of vastly superior Mexican forces. Fought Five Hours The American column is reported to number less than 100, while Gomez is believed to have had several thousand men under his command. The fighting continued five hours, the Carranzistas being meanwhile reinforced from the large Carranzista forces in Villa Ahumada. Messages to mining companies said the Mexican losses were double those of the Americans. It was reported that General Pershing has seized the Mexican towns of Neuvo Casas Grandes and Casas Grandes on account of anti-American demonstrations there. Roosevelt Is Shot Through the Body Iowa City, Ia., June 24.—George Roosevelt, Colored, shot through the body, will live, surgeons say at Iowa university hospital, where the injured man was brought from Brooklyn, Ia. He was shot by his daughter's sweetheart, Edward Anderson of Des Moines. The bullet entered his back, near the spine, missed the heart and came out of his chest. LEAVES $500 TO A WHITE STUDENT New Haven, Conn., June 24.—By the will of Mrs. Ella de Ladson, an aged Colored woman who conducted a restaurant for Yale students for forty years, filed today, Albert A. Low (white) of Danbury, who was bookkeeper for her while in college, receives a $500 bequest. She made many charitable bequests. Her estate will reach $35,000, all of which was made in catering to students. CARNEGIE LIBRARY REPORT Houston, Tex., June 24.—The annual report of the Colored Cargegie Library shows that 10,402 books were borrowed last year. Volume I. Number 52 Western University 20th Commencement One of the Largest Classes in History of This Great School Receives Diplomas. OVER TWO THOUSAND VISITORS Governor Capper, Delivers Address—Commends School—Stands for Equality of Opportunity. Quindaro, Kans., June 24.—The twentieth annual commencement of Western university was held on the campus Thursday, June 8. One of the largest and most promising classes in the history of this great educational school of the west was graduated. The class of 1916 received diplomas from every department. It contained representatives from Connecticut to California. The program began at 3 o.m., with more than two thousand visitors and friends of the school present. In introducing Governor Capper, Professor H. T. Keeling, president of Western university, called him the 'Man whom all Kansas loves' and spoke of him as to his true friendship and loyalty to Western university and its needs. The governor was in splendid tone and his message to the graduating class, was one of great encouragement, and said in his address to the graduates, "If I can be of any service to any member of this class at any time, I will only be too glad to help you." The governor told that his Kansas bringing up had instilled in him a democracy that stood for these principles, "true brotherhood and equal opportunity for all alike. Equal opportunity for the children of all the people to prepare themselves for life, to be of real service in the world, to make a fair living." MADDEN'S PREDICTION WILL BE FULFILLED Hon. Martin B. Madden predicts that the Negro will "come back" to Congress in the not far future. From three northern cities Colored representatives could be sent to Washington, if the race would stand together and elect one of their number. The Colored voters are sufficiently numerous in certain districts of New York City, Chicago and Philadelphia to "put over" a Negro Congressman, if they had the political sagacity to do so. Fair election laws would solve the problem automatically in the southern states. Mr. Madden's prediction may come true. It offers encouragement at any rate.-The Freeman.

Albert Johnson Address Graduates Washington, June 24.—One hundred and eighty-four young men and women were the recipients of degrees at commencement exercises at Howard University May 31. They were distributed as follows: College of Arts and Science, 49; Teachers' College, 29; Theology, 7; Medicine, 12; Dentistry, 42; Pharmacy, 17; Law, 28. This is probably the largest number of degree graduates in the history of the institution and represents an increase of 28 over the number of last year. The increase is due largely to the exceptionally large class in Dentistry, which is twice the size of last year's class. The annual address to the gradua es was delivered by the Hon. Josephus Daniels, Secretary of the Navy. Mr. Daniels, citing statistics obtained from the office of the Director of Census, commended the colored people upon their progress in fifty years. He stated his belief that all racial problems of the country could be solved, if both whites and blacks would take the simple prescription of one pound of common sense per day, until relief was afforded. President Newman presented the diplomas and Dean Isaac Clark of the School of Theology delivered the invocation and benediction. The address to the graduates of the non-degree departments of the Academy, Commercial College and Teachers' College was delivered on Monday night by Bishop J. Albert Johnson, of the A. M. E. Church. In a brilliant talk full of illustrations from African life and customs, Bishop Johnson spoke of the moral battles that the young secondary students would have to face in life, and ended with a magnificent plea for missionary teachers to Africa. "Racial Good Will" is the significant title of a neat pamphlet, containing excerpts of addresses delivered at various times in the past few yeaers by Major R. R. Moton, president of Tuskegee Institute. It is lofty in thought, simple in statement and profitable to all who wish to labor in co-operation with our fellowman.

REACH FIRST MILESTONE With this issue, which is No. 52 the Monitor reaches its first milestone, completing its first year of publication. We are exceedingly gratified to know that as a high class publication we have steadily grown in the confidence and affection of our readers and patrons. Our subscription list has steadily grown, until already we are within easy hailing distance of nearly all the weekly publications, and there are many which have been issued for many years in this city. Almost, if not all special groups of our population have their special organs. There are weeklies published by the Germans, the Bohemians, the Italians, the Danes, the Swedes, the Jews and other race groups. This fact proves that The Monitor has its own peculiar place, and that there is need for such a publication in this city for the large special group of which it is the organ and mouthpiece. With justifiable pride we can say that The Monitor is conceded to be one of the best publications in the city. We have been personally complimented by the publicity department of the Commercial Club for the class, style and character of the publication. The same complimentary notice has been given us by many others. Our advertisers recognize us as a good medium, which is proven by the fact that not only have we retained the patronage of the advertisers who began with us with our first issue, but have gained and retained others. The merchants have assured us that they have gotten good results from the use of our columns Our editorials and special articles appearing in our columns have been widely quoted. All of this is gratifying and shows that The Monitor is fulfilling its mission. "The Monitor hopes to fill an honorable and useful place in its chosen field in this community, full of splendid possibilities. It will strive to gather news of interest, local and general; it will give from time to time illustrated articles of our homes and people; it will publish articles from special writers to make its readers think; it will welcome short letters on timely topics from its readers. Its editorial policy will be independent, frank and fearless, courteous and kind, sane and conservative. We shall strive to make it a paper of such a high standard that it can be read with pleasure and profit in any home in the land. The Monitor is published in the interests of all the people. It is not a denominational or a factional paper of any kind. We want this clearly and definitely understood at the outset." To this policy we have strictly ad- Matter July 2, 1915, at the Post-act of March 3, 1879. WILLIAMS, Editor and Publisher. Garnett Haynes and Ellsworth W. Associate Editors.

We leave it to our hundreds of satisfied readers to testify as to how faithfully we have fulfilled our promise, to do our best to give them a good publication. We desire now to publicly thank the members of our staff who have worked so unselfishly and faithfully to make The Monitor all that it has been; our publishers, the well-known firm of the Waters-Barnhart Printing Company, who have taken a personal pride in getting out the publication, and our subscribers and advertisers without whose co-operation and patronage it would have been impossible to succeed. With the good will and co-operation of our subscribers and advertisers we hope to double our subscription list within the next year, and at a very early date to double the size of The Monitor to meet the demands of our growing patronage. THE CRISIS IN MEXICO It looks very much as though we are to have war with Mexico. We sincerely hope not, and believe that even yet this calamity may be avoided, and can be if we can prove ourselves magnanimous. A way out with honor can be found, if we sincerely seek it. We have suffered no more at the hands of Mexico than we have from Germany. There can be no doubt that in this Mexican affair there has been serious blundering. We believe that the sending of the navy to Vera Cruz to compel Huerta to salute the American flag was a grievous blunder. This was followed, in turn, by a series of blunders, such as the recognition of Carranza and other events that might be noted. But be that as it may, should war be forced upon us there is only one course for Americans to pursue and that is to stand unitedly back of the president. War with Mexico will be no child's play. It will be no holiday, but sad, serious and prolonged business, in which many of the youth of Mexico, illguided and war-distraught, and many of our own manly boys will be called upon to die. Everything should be done to prevent this slaughter. And no false sentiment of patriotism or injured dignity should force us into war. While undoubtedly there is a crisis in the Mexican situation we ought not overlook the fact that our blundering policy is largely responsible for that crisis. This grave responsibility should help make us magnanimous and patient. Not crowing; simply growing with growing Omaha, and helping Omaha to grow. Thank you, we are one year old today. --- THE MONITOR THE BIGGEST CLOTHING EVENT OF A Great Special Purchase SALE OF THE WORLD'S FINEST CLOTHES Kuppenheimer and "L-System Clothes" A tremendous cash purchase of 1,560 Men's and Young Men's Suits at about one-half the wholesale price.

Joaquin Miller Is it worth while that we jostle a brother Bearing his load on the rough road of life? Is it worth while that we jeer at each other In the blackness of heart ?—that we war to the knife? God pity us all in our pitiful strife. God pity us all as we jostle each other; God pardon us all for the triumphs we feel When a fellow goes down; poor, heart- broken brother, Pierced to the heart; words are keener than steel, And mightier, far, for woe and for weal. Were it not well in this brief little journey On over the isthmus, down into the tide, 7 We give him a fish instead of a ser- pent, Ere folding the hands to be and abide For ever and aye, in dust at his side Look at the roses saluting each other; Look at the herds all at peace on the plain— Man, and man only, makes war on his brother, And dotes in his heart on his peril and pain— Shamed by the brutes that go down on the plain. THE MONITOR Keep good company or none. Never be idle. If your hands cannot be use- fully employed, attend to the cultiva- ion of your mind. Always speak the truth. Make few promises. Live up o your engagements. Keep your own secrets, if you have any. When you speak to a person look him in the ace. Good company and good con- versation are the very sinews of vir- tue. Good character is above all things else. Your character cannot be essentially injured except by your own acts. If any one speaks ill of you, let your life be so that none will believe him. Ever live, misfortune excepted, within your income. When you retire to bed, think over what you have been doing during the day. Make no haste to be rich if you would prosper. Small and steady gains give competency with tranquillity of mind, Avoid temptation, through fear that you may not withstand it. Earn money before you spend it. Never run in debt, unless you see a way to get out again. Never borrow if you can possibly avoid it. Do not marry until you are able to support a wife. Never speak ill of any one. BIT OF WISDOM FOR TODAY For let a man once show the world that he feels Afraid of its bark, and ’twill fly at his heels; Let him fearlessly face it—’twill leave him alone But ‘twill fawn at his feet—if he flings it a bone! —Lytton.

Author of "Side-Stepping Ill Health," etc. As the warm weather comes on, you expect your gas charges to go down and your coal bill to dwindle to the vanishing point. Not every one realizes that there ought to be corresponding saving in his body fuel during the hot months—that sitting down to a dinner of roast pork, baked beans, and mince pie on a July day when the thermometer registers 99 degrees in the shade is just as foolish a proceeding as it would be to stoke up the furnace on that day with a roaring fire. The longing for fruit and acids in the summer, and the lack of appetite for heavy roasts, fats, starches, and sugars, constitute a definite index of a normal dietary during this period. Dates, figs, raisins, prunes, grapes, plums, peaches, pears, melons, cherries—in fact, most varieties of fruits and berries—are wholesome and nutritious, and are particularly valuable for women and children, and those who do not exercise much. It might be well to remember also that fruit which is packed in clean air- and dust-tight receptacles is far less likely to "spoil" when it reaches the stomach, than is loose fruit, which has industriously collected all the spare dust and germs in its neighborhood. Perhaps the "goods" are a trifle less expensive, purchased in bulk, than they are when bought in clean, sanitary packages; but their use is much more likely to be followed by a hurry call for the family physician. And while it may be by poet's license that "an apple a day keeps the doctor away," yet it can not be denied that it may materially help. For apples contain soda, potash, magnesia, and phosphorus—indispensable food elements. The natural acid is also helpful to the gums, teeth, stomach, and intestines. A sweet, pulpy, ripe apple is usually digested without trouble. Fruit and berries have also a very high nutritive value. They are real foods, not merely "fillers." Apples, peaches, apricots and pears, and strawberries, cherries, raspberries, gooseberries, and currents, are particularly rich. It would be very difficult to starve with plenty of these available. Perhaps, however, pineapple juice is the most wholesome of all fruit products. It has digestive properties of a high order—in fact, there are several digestants on the market, the base of which is extract of pineapple. Pineapple seems also to set up a healthy action in the mucous membrane of the throat and stomach. Raw fruit juices (in combination with the sugar the fruit contains) often relieve a craving for alcohol. In fact, a very successful recent method of treating alcoholism is to give an alcoholic an apple every time he wants a drink. If he will eat the apple almost invariably he'll lose his "hankering" for the drink. There are many people, however, who can not eat raw fruit without suffering great discomfort. These people should invariably stew or otherwise cook all fruit. THE MONITOR IS GRADUATE BAND MASTER New York, June 24.—Sergt. Dorcy T. Rhodes, of the famous Tenth Cavalry, which is now stationed at Fort Huachuca, Ariz., was a member of the graduating class in the military band department of the Institute of Musical Art, New York City, class 1916, having finished the two years course with high honors. Sergeant Rhodes is the second representative from the Tenth to graduate from this institution, Chief Musician Alfred J. Thomas, of the Tenth Cavalry Band, having graduated in 1914. The Institute of Musical Art offered scholarships to the five highest qualified musicians of the United States army, the recipients to be selected by competitive examination, open to all. Sergenat Rhodes took this examination in September, 1914, and won a scholarship, being immediately sent to the military band department of the Institute of Musical Art, at Fort Jay, Governor's Island. At the graduation exercises he was one of the members of the class taking part in the program, and was awarded the bandmatesr's degree. Sergeant Rhodes entered the army in 1905 and has served in the Ninth Cavalry, Twenty-fourth Infantry and Tenth Cavalry. YOUNG WOMAN WINS PRIZE New York, N. Y., June 24.—Miss Olga C. Scott, 676 East 180th street, in a fashion contest recently conducted by the Ladies' Home Journal, Philadelphia, submitted a linen outing suit designed and constructed by herself. For this suit she was awarded the fourth prize, $10, and she is in receipt of the following letter from Henry T. Farrar, fashion editor of that journal: "Dear Madam-I am very much pleased to write that your linen outing suit has been awarded the fourth prize of ten dollars, and a check for this amount will be forwarded to you shortly. I want to congratulate you on the attractive dress you made for the small amount of money spent." An illustration of the dress will appear in the August number of the Ladies Home Journal. WHITE MAN NAMED AS RECORDER OF DEEDS Washington, D. C., June 24.—John F.

This is the first time in more than twenty years that a white man has been appointed to this position. CURTIS EMPLOYEES ORGANIZE Philadelphia, June 24.—The two hundred and fifty Colored employees of the Curtis Publishing company recently organized a Booker T. Washington club, the objects of which are to promote sociability, morality, industry and religion. This company publishes The Ladies Home Journal, Saturday Evening Post and other popular and high class publications. A BUST OF WASHINGTON A bust of Booker T. Washington was unveiled at the recent commencement of the Topeka Industrial Institute. The address was delivered by Rev. Robert E.
