merit.
In ancient days newspaper publish.
ers considered an advertisement an
evil but necessary evil, and that It
should be hidden away as carefully
as possible, so that no one would dis.
cover that the paper was trying to
make a little money by inserting pub.

way to-day would fail.
The most successful exponents Of
the new plan of doing business with
ink and paper are using every posi-
Bile means to make the announcements
attractive and sought after by the
readers.
1t Is safe to say that thousands Of

Bigger Battle Than Lao Yang
Losses Amount To 10000 Killed

Mukden, Oct. 1S.-The firing to the
southwest is less violent. The men
are tired out and food has been unsuf-
fcient. Every available gun and man
are being used. The troops have behav.
ed most CALAMITY, hurting themselves
repeatedly against impregnable POI
sitions, The heavy storm Of Octo.
Der nth added to the misery Of the
troops. There Is great depression, but
stolid tenacity among the men. There
has been great sacrifice Of officers.
The plain occupied by the retiring
Russians is covered with bursting
shrapnel. The gunners shoveled shells
into the breeches of the guns as sto.
kers shovel coal into the furnaces,
Howitzers are used by the eastern
army. The Russian guns have super
ior range and burst shrapnel at 5000
yards. There is scarcity of reli-
able maps. Two division command
ers have lost their chief staff officers,
one of these being killed, and many
commanding officers have met death
heroically leading their regiments.
Shrapnel fell near General Kuropatkin.

The sunshine that makes a business

Growing a business nowadays Is

You may select good seed, plant it in
good soil, water and work with 1t, but
the tree will not produce fruit until
another and most powerful, energiz'

to bear. You must have sunshine and
lots of it. Can you expect to ripen
apples in the dark? Can you expect
to grow profitable business plant

sian Standpoint.
GENERAL KuaoPATkIA's WORK,
General Grlppenbcrg,. Who Has Ar
rived at St. Petersburg, Will go to
The Front to Assume Command Of
The Manchurian Army

ST. Petersburg, Oct. l9.--The news
from the front is more reassurlng'
from the Russian standpoint. The
situation is still regarded as being
critical, but General Kuropatkin is
apparently holding the Japanese army
firmly on his center and right wing,
even having crossed the Shakhe nv
er, and while there are rlmors OF eX-
,tensiye Japanese tlanking movements
both on the east and on the west, there
is no evidence that they are actually
occurring.
, General Kuropstkin's left wing has
been heard from. The Associated
Press has the first connected account
lof the four days fighting in front OF
Tumin and Saitchoun passes, result
ing in the final withdrawal OF the
strong Russian column which had
been sent to turn the japanese right,
though General Mistchenko has ac'
t,lally penetrated q considerable DIS
nance inside the Japanese lines. The
report Of the operations Of the Rus
sian left wing is still three days Old
and since that time no news has
been received from this column. The
situation at this date may be describ-
ed as follows:
General Kuropatkin has slightly
advanced his center, re-occupylng
Shakhe. south of the Shakhe river
Directly behind him al a distance of
nine miles lies the Hun river, and
across the ridges spanning this stream
the Russians must retire in case they
retreat on Mukden.
General Kuropatkin must continue
to hold firmly his center and right
flank in order to prevent the Japanese
getting possession of the Hun river
bridges. Thus he will cover the
withdrawal of his apparently beaten
west wing.
There is still considerable uncer-
tainty as to the disposition Of this left
column. Certainly it has not return
ed to Mukden; whether it is again ad-
vanclng after its first withdrawal is
not known.
II is no longer a question of a Rus
sian sedan, though all hope of reliet-
ing Port Arthur must apparently be
abandoned. Little hope is expressed
that Kuropatkin will be able to CON
tinue to advance
The four days fight of the eastern
column was of the same desperate
character that marked the operations
iof the center and right wings, A
heayy Russian column under such
leaders as IyanofI, Renlenkampf,
Garngross and K0ndratoyich repeat
edly assaulted strongly entrenched
japanese positions on heights com,
handing the passes. The assaults
were largely night work. The can,
aonade was so furious that it was i'm
possible to advance in the light Of day.
Finally, on October H. when the pass
es had been actually occupied, came
the order to withdraw, probably ow-
ing to a critical position at either por-
lions Of the front. Here the story
of operations of the eastern wing Of
the Russian army ends.
