PRESIDENT TAKES HAND AGAIN.
Will Make Aother Effort to Bring
About Compromise.

j Portsmouth, Aug. 19.-At midnight
Assistant Secretary Pierce was hur-
=riedly called to the Hotel Wentworth,
$where a message was awaiting him
from the president. He Immediately
wrote a lengthy reply. Later he was
Ecalled to the telegraph instrument
and for half an hour carried on con-
Hersation by telegraph with the pres
kident. who was at the other end of the
wire at Oyster Bay.
At 1880 a. m. the Geographic con-
fversation with the president ceased
| and Mr.. Pierce left the hotel in his
Automobile. He said he was going
home, but beyond that declined to
make any statement. 81 can tell YOU
nothing" he said to all the anxious in
quiries of the newspaper men.
The Associated Press has reason
to believe that the purpose of the
presidents conversation with Mr..
Pierce was to arrange for one of the
Russians to go to Oyster Bay. The
president is said to already be in
communication with the Japanese
through Baron Kaneko. Mr. Roose-
Welt is undoubtedly prepared to make
a last effort to induce the warning
countries to compromise

OF the many useful Offices in the

to the welfare of a lodge than the host.
There is nothing that will kill the at
tendance more than cold hall in win
ter or a hot one in summer. Show me
Il host that keeps the hall as he ex-
poets his wife to keep his home-clean,
tidy and comforta ble-and l will show
you a lodge with good attendance
Show me a lodge where its members
loaf in stores and on street corners
and l will show you a host who keeps
an untidy hall, who doesn't open until
the last minute, the light in the window
is not there for the early corners, the
late fire hasn't warmed the hall by
lodge time in winter, or the hall is hot
and stuffy i'll summer. Mr.. Host, be a
host indeed. Hang out the beacon
light early Make the mbers COM
Portable and watch the attendance

STILL AFTER RUSSIANS
Jap's Operations in Sakhalin and
Northern Korea.
RUSSIANS HOLD ONLY TWO POSITION.
Believed They Are Concentrating for Resc.
lutte Stand Against Japanese Advance
Upon vIadivostok- Japanese Victory at
DarIine Now Assures Their Occupation Of
Southern Sakhalln.

Toxic (By Cable) Reliable informa-
ton has been received here that the Rus
sian forces in Northern Korea have
gradually been driven northward since
positions south of the Tumen River.
The latest information from the front,
however, reports the advance south of a
large force from Vladivostok, but it is
believed the Russians will halt at Ne
kiersk, north of the Tumen, and con-
centrate their forces to make resolute
stand there against the Japanese adj
vance.
The rainy season has set in in Man
churia, and presents movements on a
large scale.
1t is officially announced that the Rus
sian center, holding Darline and vicin-
ity, was attacked July II, and offered
stubborn resistance.
The attack was renewed at dawn of
July IL, when the Japanese dislodged
the Russians, driving them in the di-
rection of Mauka. This victory insures
complete occupation of South Sakhalin
by the Japanese
Eighty prisoners were taken by the
Japanese, among whom was Lieutenant
Maximta.
Four field pieces, one machine gun
and ammunition warehouses were cap
tured. The Japanese loss was about
70 men killed or wounded. The Rus
SLAMS lost 100 men.
Admiral Yamada, commanding a
squadron sent north on a reconnais-
sance, reports that the Russian cruiser
Izumrud is complete wreck, and that
there is no hope of relocating her. The
vessel lies beached, heading west-south-
west, on the northern point of the south
ern entrance to Vladimir Bay, about 200
miles northeast of Vladivostok
A report by Captain Baron Ferzen, Of
the Izumrud, said that during the bat
tie of the Sea of Japan the Izumrud was
cut off from the remainder of the fleet,
and steamed at full speed for Vladivos-
tok with japanese cruisers in pursuit.
Subsequently he changed his course and
made for Vladimir Bay, arriving there
on the night of May 2o. At I.3o o'clock
in the morning of May 80 the lzumrud
ran on a reef at the entrance of the
bay, and, being short of coal, the captain
ordered the crew ashore and blew up
the vessel.
