JAPANESE LINE IS BROKEN

RIGHT FLANK TURNED.
Driven from Town of Bentsiaputze-
Kuropatkin Announces Fer
ward Movement.

st. Petersburg, Oct. 10.-Gen. Kuro-
patkn's order of the day announcing
his determination to take the offensive
is supplemented by the news that an
offensive movement has already been be-
gun and that the japanese line has been
broken at BentsiaputZe. The japanese
occupied a front of about 81 miles,
stretching from Bentsiaputze on the
east through -Yentai and across the rail
way to the banks of the Hun river on
the west. The Russian force had been
moving south in close touch with the
Japanese advance since October 4. The
japanese outposts were driven back in
series of skirmishes, and on October 6
the Russians reoccupied the station of
Shakhe, 10 miles south of Mukden. the
railway battalion restoring the bridge
across the Shakhe river the next day in
order to facilitate the advance. Mean
while Gen. Mistchenko's Cossacks
pushed southwestward as far as the Yen
tai mines, defeating the japanese in a
series of warm skirmishes.
Heavy Blow to Jap Right.
The most important action, however,
occurred on the japanese right at Bent
siaputze Here the Japanese held a
strong and important position. but 1t
seems they made the inexplicable omis-
sion to fortify commanding hill which
was the key to the whole situation. A
portion of Gen. Kuropatkins force made
strong attack on Bentsiaputze and.
taking a leaf out of the japanese book,
occupied the hill from the east and
fanked the Japanese out of the town,
causing a serious loss in rear guard
! fight. The Russian casualties are re-
ported to have been inconsiderable.
| While it is understood that Mukden is
not heavily fortified, Gen. Kuropatkin
has powerful force behind him, strong
ly posted at Tie pass; and If, as he as
serts, the Russians are now powerful
enough to assume the offensive, 1t is pos
sible his advance movement will force
the Japanese flanking column to with

WINS AUTO RACE.
Heath Captures Great Event on Long
Island-Many Accidents-one
Nan Killed.

New York, Oct. 10.-One dead and
another dying Is one Of the results OF
the automobile race for the cup offered
by William X. Vanderbilt, Jr.
George Arents, Jr.. New York mill
lionaire, lies injured In hospital at
Long Island, while his chauffeur, Carl
Meusel, is dead.
During the race, which was won by
George Heath, an American, driving a
80 horsepower motor, Arents' car was
wrecked by the tires slipping. The
chauffeur, who was horribly mangled,
was taken to hospital, where he died
an hour later. Arents also was taken
to the hospital, where 1t was found.
among other injuries, he was suffering
from a cerebral hemorrhage.
The race was most fiercely contest
ed one. Heath finished the 300-mile
course In 6:56:45 elapsed time, aud
5:26:45 corrected time. Albert Gle
ment, Jr, driving an 80 horsepower
machine, was close second, finishing
in 6:5S:13 elapsed time, and 5:28:J3
corrected time. The time as herewith
given Is official.
A startling development of the con-
test was the fact that many bent rusty
nails were found on the course. They
were found near the grand stand. near
Queens, near Hicksville and near Jeri-
cho. 1t seemed that deliberate at
tempt was made to wreck the racing
machines.
The course of the race was exactly
S0.24 miles in length. 1t was an elon-
gated triangle, at the apex of which.
to the west, is the village of Queens.
The course was covered ten times.
There were two controls on the
course, one &c Hicksville. 40 mile In
length, and the other at Hampstead,
LAO miles long. Every contestant had
to take three minutes to go through
the Hicksville control and six minutes
to go through the Hampstead control.

Automobiles in England.

We may take 1896 as the year when
motor cars began to be common. But
ND to the end Of last year not more than
$4,000 "self propelled vehicles had been
registered. Since the bill came into
operation on January the number has
increased to over 10000. The total num-
Der of motor cycles has actually been
tripled in the last seven months. Prob
ably the number of motor cycles is even
greater than appears. as 1t is a not I'M

to take out car license. which costs the
same as a cycle license and includes the

NEW SPOTS ON THE SUN.
One Nearly Forty Thousand Miles
Long Seen by German
Professor.

Prof StentZel announces to the sci-
entific world that. since August % he
has observed on the southern hemis-
phere of the sun several exceptionally
large and numerous small spots. Since
the disappearance. on July q, of the
last of the extensive June and July
groups of spots, these products of con-
densation still continued to show
themselves, but they invariably re-
manned small and inconspicuous, says
Berlin report.
On the night of August 81 and %.
however there appeared in the south
ern spot zone, on the eastern edge, an
extensive stretch of eruptions of brill
liant radiance, which were visible only
near the edge of the sun, and after
wards these could be recognized there
in by day spots, which, through SPHERE
cal shortening, were in form similar 20
lines AS further advance was made
toward the center of the suns meri-
dian, the group of spots increased In
size and soon took enormous dimen-
sions. On August q the group as
sumed the curious shape of a beautt-
fully formed garland, which showed
in its western part a huge black mass
like rosette, and consisted of very
numerous single spots. On August 2S,
when the group already had the center
OF the sun behind II. 1t possessed
total length of SO. 4S9 miles.
This gigantic area of eruption was
followed in the south spot zone at an
interval of two days by smaller
eruption with black spot of still very
respectable size. and this was followed
by a third in the same zone OF like
wise large dimensions. having ono
main spot and several smaller spots.

According to Insurance statittics the
Span Of Life In America
Is Longer.

The other day, at meeting Of the life
insurance experts OF New York, we
were told that the span of life in Amer
lea is growing longer, that the average
American OF to-day lives to be about fivo
years older than the American Of so
years ago. That Is, we have been gain
ing year in every ten. Statistics also
show that the race is producing larger,
stronger, finer men and women. We are
taller, weigh more, do more work than
our grandfathers, says Parsons Mag
azine.
Why? Many influences are, of course.
at work In producing these interesting
changes; advanced medical science has
practically conquered the. contagious
diseases and has largely decreased in
FAINT mortality; improved sanitary and
hygienic science has saved the lives of
thousands Of city dwellers; but, after
all, no single influence is SO important
to the welfare Of our physical being as
the food we take into our bodies. "As
the coal is, so is the engine"
No study. then. could be more inter-
esting and important, as bearing on this
question, than an investigation Of the
changes in our food fashions. Do we eat
the same things that our grandfathers
did? II not. what Is the trend OF our
diet-toward the food Of the vegetarian,
which includes the much advertised
modern food products. the Cereals" or
toward the old diet of the meat-eater?
Upon this point the last census gives
us striking and conclusive informa-
ton. 1t shows, indeed, the most ex.
traordinary changes in our diet, and
changes that point to single, consis-
tent tendency.
In short, we are becoming more ami
more a nation of vegetarians.
In the matter of mutton, for instance,
every 100 Americans in 1850 consumed
81 sheep, nearly sheep to each man,
woman and child; In 1900 the consump-
tion had been reduced to SO sheep 10
every 10Gpersons-a reduction of almost
half. More remarkable still has been
our turning from pork-11S hogs to
every 100 persons in 1S50-more than
one hog for each man, woman and child
to AZ hogs in 1900. We are still large
eaters of beef, however, though here,
too, there is reduction Of 20 per cent.
from rs beeves to 100 persons in 1850, 10
20 beeves in 1900
But what Of milk, butter. cheese, eggs.
and poultry, which must be considered
as meat foods in contradistinction to
those which are strictly vegetarian.
Here, too, though the statistics do not
cover the whole period of so years, we
find interesting changes; mostly large
increases. For example: In 1880 the
supply of eggs was 920 dozen for each
100 persons, and in 1900 1t reached
1,700 dozen. In the same period the sup
ply OF dairy products increased by more
than threefold. The only dairy product
showing a decrease is cheese: so years
ago each person ate Az pounds annually:
in 1900 the amount had dropped to one
half pound
Reducing all these various meat prod
ucts to common ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
lars and cents-we find that our meat
diet as nation has decreased in so
years by about SO per cent

expression of confidence that it-@arks
the turning point in the campaign.
There Is little detailed comment on the
situation, but the expectation Is ex-
pressed that the coming battles will
be even more serious than those Of the
past. and that, while Russian arms are
destined to ultimate victory, it will be
bought at the expense Of much blood
and suffering, and that it is a prospect
to be looked upon seriously and SOL
EMMY, without exultation or heroics
The Russ says: "Our advance has be-
gun. We are facing powerful and
cunning enemy. The Japanese have
not failed to take advantage of natur-
ally strong positions and fortify them
to the utmost Our movement morally
will be easier, because we are going
forward instead of retreating, but ma
terially it will be even more awful!
than the past. We are going to vic
tory, but must be prepared to pay a
heavy price"
Bravery Of Nurses.

upon their errands of mercy under
hail of shrapnel, dressing wounds and
even carrying disabled soldiers to the
ambulances.
Cost of the War.
Toxic, Oct I'm addressing the
members of the united clearing houses
of Toxic, Count Okuma, the leader Of
the progressive party, warned the peo-
pie to prepare for long war, the date
of the termination of which 1t was
now impossible to foretell. He pre-
dicted that the cost to Japan for a
two years war, including the loans
which had been already placed and the
expenses consequent upon the war at
its termination, would total $1,000
900 900, which would make the per
capita share amount to $40
Despite her weaknesses. Count Oku-
ma said, Russia possessed immense re-
sources and had tremendous advan-
tages in the size of her population and
the greatness of her wealth, and 1t
would be necessary for the japanese
to make heavy sacrifices in order to
attain success. He predicted that the
war would cost Russia from $780,
900, 900 to $4,000 100000 and said IT
would be impossible to raise loans or
to increase the taxes in Russia, be-
cause the limit had been reached. The
count predicted that 1t would be nec-
essary for the Japanese government to
borrow $250,000,000 next year, and
added that II $75,O00,000 were secured
abroad the country must face depre-
citation in the value Of its securities
Count Okuma urged the nation to
carefully husband its strength and re-
sources and expressed the fullest con-
fidence in the ultimate victory oi
Japanese arms.

CAR BARN BANDIT
ATTEMPTED SUICIDE IN THE
CHICAGO JAIL.

Chicago. April iS.-Peter Nieder-
meyer, one Of the car barn bandits
sentenced to hang Friday, attempted
to commit suicide this m orning.
He was found grooming in this cell,
very sick. A search revealed box
of matches with the heads Of large
portion eaten of. He also opened a
vein in his left wrist with n lead
pencil and there was IA considerable
loss Of blood. He will probably re-
cover.
Niedermeyer is being kept alive by
saline injections into the arteries to
replace the blood which flowed from
the self inflicted wound. The liver Is
poisoned and the lining of the stom.
ach practically destroyed by the
phosphorus match heads he swal-
lowed. In the hospital cell he at.
tempted to open the wounds in his
wrist and was restrained after a es-
perate struggle. There is little
chance of his recovery.
