ALWAYS Turn to the Right

1t is the long established custom in
this country that vehicles meeting on
any street or highway shall turn to the
right, Some suppose that this is only an
uhwritten law Of the road, but as mat
ter of fact, it is ON many statute books.
The law in many states clearly defines
that carriages, wagons, carts, sleighs,
sleds, bicycles, tricycles and all other
vehicles must, when in motion, Keep to
the right. A person driving is very
properly required to have the left wheels
Of his vehicle on the right of the center
OF the street. In other words this law
is an authoritative adoption of the ole
motto: Fair play and half the road"

Japanese Carry on Desperate Assault
on Port Arthur


Chefoo, Aug. "a desperate three
days assault on the inner defnses on
the northern and eastern sides of Port
Arthur has failed, according to ad-
vices brought by two junks which ar
rived here today.
A Russian who escaped from Port
Arthur via Pigeon bay on the night of
July 20 states that the earth trembled
under the terrific cannonading which
began at 4 a. m. July 26 and ended
during the night of July %, when the
battle ceased A Chinese who has ar
rived here on separate junk confirms
the Russians statement that the Rus
sian killed and wounded during the as
sault numbered between five and six
thousand.
The Japanese, in their repeated as
saults against the eastern forts on the
hills through barbed wire entangle-
ments and over mines, displayed
fanatical bravery. They were moved
down by the hail of shells and bullets
and the explosion of mines under their
feet. Their losses are estimated at
10000 The Russian declares that the
Russians held all the eastern forts
leading to Golden Hill and that the
Japanese, shattered and exhausted, re-
tired to the eastward.

sian east flank at Lao Yang, winning
separate actions at Yushulikzu and
Yangse passes. These two places are
PCS miles apart, but the two actions
were fought at the same time. The
Russians held strong positions. The
thermometer registered over 10 de-
grees Fahrenheit and the soldiers suf-
fered cruelty from heat exhaustion.
AT YushulikZu the Russians had two
divisions of infantry and some artil-
lery, and they resisted the Japanese
assaults vigorously.
Two Days Fighting.
Both attacks were begun at dawn on
Sunday, July 81. At Yushuligzu the
Japanese carried the Russian right
and left wings, but on account of the
strength of the main Russian position
they were unable to press the attack.
The two armies rested Sunday night,
facing each other.
At dawn Monday the Japanese re-
sumed the attack and by noon they
had dislodged the enemy and driven
him four miles to Laoholing.
Night In Battle Formation.
At Yangse pass also the Japanese
were successful. Their artillery
opened on the enemy and the infantry
moved forward from Makumeza. The
attack on this place was made at /
o'clock Sunday and by nightfall the
Japanese were in possession of a ma.
jority of the Russian positions, al.
though the enemy had resisted with
determination. The Japanese forces
passed the night in battle formation
and another assault was made on Mon.
day at dawn. BY o'clock Monday
morning Yangse pass and the sur.

feat. Down below on the reef was a
woman who had fallen overheard, had

drink. The captain Of the ship and

were being swept out to sea. Mac
Gregor slid down rope, caught the
