Weather is Growing Cold.
ROOSEVELT is READY
To HELP STOP FIGHT

Washington, Oct. 1.-THE war in
the East has enlisted the closest atten-
ton of the administration. and it is
felt that the time is approaching when
it will be in order for the great neu-
trail powers to move toward the resto-
ration of peace.
President Roosevelt has. from the
first, stood ready to use his good Of
fees to stop hostilities on a basis hon
orable to both belligerents, but he is
stopped from moving by the fact that
it has been the unbroken rule of our
government to wait until it is assured
that both sides to a controversy of this
kind are willing that we should act.
There has so far been no open propo-
sition, nor can it be truthfully stated
that even an indirect overture has
come to Washington from st. Peters
burg or Toxic. but it is believed that
the signs point to an early move in
that direction.

The corps Of Gems. Meyendorff and

ing of Saturday and Sunday at the
Russian center.
A high officer of the general staff in
formed the Associated Press that the
Russians still hold Fengtapu, a mile

The officer declares that there was

gan yesterday was concluded at s
o'clock this morning, with the capture
of Lone Tree hill, the Importance Of
which, II is explained, is due to the
fact that the Japanese therefrOm were
able to pour an enfiading fire upon the
Russians posted east and west along
the Shakhe river.
The Japanese fully appreciated its
value, promptly mounting heavy guns
upon the hill, OF which the Russians
captured twelve. The others were re-
