How the Better Half Lives

According to the Atchison (Kas Globe, card
games have taken such mighty hold the of that
town that husbands have been compelled to the
kitchen and nursery washing dishes and entertaining the
children. 1t is stated that the card ends play late that
fond fathers have to hear the children their pray
ers and then put them to bed
There you have yollow journalism. 1t is good bet
that not half dozen in Achson neglect their off
spring for cards. and it is also high time in Atchson and
elsewhere that the head of the family learn something
about how the better half lives.

home you do in the shop Office and then decided to
stop work. We should have trouble that would make the
Eastern war look like a vacation.

its fullest sense for when know what do and

be better husbands and happier homes.

the 11.2 guns but from the as and
the inch guns. struck In the Rus
sian works and, so far as could be
observed. destroyed them.
But 1t is not only the physical eff
feet of these shells that, 1t Is believ-
ed, will demoralize the Russians, II
is the moral effect as WELL When
the Russians see the effect of these
great shells, they will not be at all
anxious to get in their way. which
is not a statement which is applicable
alone to the Russians. 1t would be
a strange man who would.
The Fateful Tomorrow.
And the big battle has begun. What
will happen tomorrow no one Knows
Russian and Japanese ideas on this
subject probably differ. And after
tomorrow, what is going to happen
the next day and the next, and agar
the next? The last battle lasted fol
nine days, this one bids fair to last
even longer. What will the final out
come be? Probably another victory
for the Japanese and then, let it be
hoped, peace.
Only one thing Is certain as the
result of the battle, and that is the
great theme of misunderstanding and
death. How many Of those keen
clear-eyed, laughing soldiers with
whom we have lived for sever
months will we ever see again? How
many of them will come out manned
and wounded? How many will fill the
little wooden boxes?
There is only one certain thing
about modern war and that Is that
thousands of lives must be sacrificed
And so the great ovtrure keeps on
and so the instruments pound out
the notes of the great theme-death
and suffering, suffering and death.

the first move.
Last night the left wing of the
second army, which has for some
time been across the Hun and has
extended to the south along the west
bank Of that river, swung around to
the north until it was on line with
the main Japanese position This
morning early, under cover of ter
rifle bombardment, the left wing of
the second army left the trenches
which 1t has occupied for several
months, and advanced on the Russian
positions. The Russians turned their
field guns loose on the advancing
troops, but the advance was steadily
continued until the troops reached
points 100 meters from the Russian
defenses. There they stopped, making
shelter for themselves. 1t is known
that at this point the Russians have
thought best to advance against them
at the time. This end of the line now
lies to the south and southwest of
Chan-tan and neighboring villages
awaiting favorable opportunity to
attack. That opportunity will prob
ably be found tonight and in the
morning the position will doubtless
be materially changed.
At the same time the Japanese
holding the line which extends
through the villages of Liu-shu-kou,
ntan-pu, A-pa-tai and Li-tan-yen-
tun, east of the Hun river, advanced
against the villages in the Russian
line directly north of them These
advances were similar to the ones
against the Chan-tan villages and
had much the same result, the Jap
anese taking cover and giving their
artillery chance to worry the Rus

a rush can be made without sacrifice

that these attacks will also be made
