Che Foo, Sept. 20-Authoritative
information has been received here
of a general attack upon Port Arthur
by the Japanese forces which began
yesterday before daybreak and con
tinued until after dark. AN indica-
tions point to an effort to capture Ger
tain of the northeast main forts.
This is the attack for which the
Japanese have been preparing for
the past nineteen days with the
greatest hope of success. AS forecas-
ted, the Japanese attack is directed
against the northeast front. The main
on Kikwan mountain, Rihlung noun
tain and intermediate forts. The fore
going comes from Russian of stand
ing whose previous information has
been correct. He adds that the at
tack at the end of August which was
reported as two separate assaults,
really continued ten days, the fighting
being the heaviest during the first
three days and last four days of the
attack.
Although the Japanese retired Aug
ust 31st along the greater part of
v their line, they remained in four sup
Elementary forts on the northeast
front which they captured from the
Russians. These include two forts SO
toip
two others at somewhat greater dis
tances. Since August 31st the Japan
ese have bombarded very slightly,
while the Russians have been throw
ing approximately thousand shells
daily, chiefly against the Japanese
positions mentioned. Small sorties N
the effort to recapture the positions
have been uniformly unsuccessful.
The japanese have been taught re.'-
pect for the resisting power OF the
fortress, according to every Japan
csc who has recently arrived here
from Fort Dalny. If they succeed in
capturing Rihlung mountain or other
forts they will realize that this will
be only one step, although an i'm
portans one. towards the capture Of
Port Arthur
The Russians have been observing
new tactics The Japanese did no.
expect TO renew the attack before
the first week in October. The Jao-
anese are endeavoring to proceed
slowly During the lighting in August
the attempt to capture Kikuain noun
tain cost the Japanese an entire reg
hment. This statement has been ab--
solutely confirmed, and indicates the
monumental proportions of the task
which the Japanese have set them
selves in attempting the capture of
the fortress which is composed of
many forts equally strong.

TEXAS FARMERS WARNED.
Department of Agriculture Experts
Say Calamity is Sure to Follow
the Increase Of Cotton Acreage.

Washington, d. G Feb. &C.
Especial 1.-The Department of
Agriculture is receiving from the
South reports indicating pros.
pectively n vast increase in the
cotton acreage as compared with
last year, due to the prevailing
high price of cotton. All of the
scientists regard this as an almost
certain promise of calamity to the
cotton growers Just at this time
it il impossible to estimate Just
what the increase will be, but
some localities are reporting as
much as 100 per cent, and it is be-
lleved that the prospective aver
age increased is something like
30 per cent.
DR.. Howard, speaking merely
for the boil weevil stricken region
of Texas, says it is to be hoped
that no such calamity as a great
ly increased cotton acreage will
result in Texas. Largely increas-
ed acreage induced by high prices
invariably leads to disaster, in

The Real Humanity.

A hundred feet in the air, in
Philadelphia, somebody noticed a
sparrow struggling in the meshes
of string. The bird was
doomed. Well, there are mil
lions of sparrows. The man who
can devise a means of extermina-
ting them can have money any
day.
But William Dayton, an en-
gineer, figured that there was a
vast difference between killing
pests and allowing bird to freeze
or starve TO death. He asked per-
mission of a policeman to make
the climb, assembled a giant tree,
loosened the struggling bird and
was cheered by crowd that had
assembled.
In Cincinnati fine blac k
horse was hitched in front of u
Walnut Hills residence. 1t was
bitterly cold, and the animal was
suffering. Hundreds of persons
passed, and if they noted the con-
dition of the horse and cared,
they were content with thinking
that the owner did not have much
humanity in his heart, and that
1T was his business, not theirs, to
blanket it..
Finally, along came q teamster

with load of coal, and he dis
covered 1T was any mans bust
ness. He stopped his team, pat
ted the half-frozen horse, searched
under the buggy seat and found a
blanket, put it snugly and care

and passed on.
There was sermon in his
action, and real humanity in his
heart,
There is no lack of people who
are sorry because there is suffer-
ing in this world They sob and
shuttle and wonder "why some
body doesn't do something. ;"
They are really panied. Some of
them could make the finest kind
of speech on charity and philan-
thropy and kindness.
And along comes the Samari-
tan, with coal dust on his face
and hands. He doesn't worry O.
cents worth about whose duty it
was to blanket the horse, or
agitate himself about the short
comings of another. The first
thing is to alleviate suffering,
and he acts and drives on.
In this practical world one
"doer" can create more joy and
end more suffering than a thous-
and cautious ones, who hold back
because GIT WAS SOMEBODY
ELSE'S DUTY"
