any body of troopa .can withstand auch

garrison In the fortress can outlast the
Japanese ammunition and men. The
report that thirty regiments have been
drawn from General Oku to strengthen
the attack* la believed to Indicate that
tha Japanese southern army la in des
perate atralta, and seems to show that
the Japanese have not enough men to
prosecute a simultaneous campaign of
great magnitude in tha north and

LONDON, August, tO.—The London
morning newspapers today show a dla

an editorial, however, says: '

WASHINGTON 1 . Aug. 21.—Some
dottht wo* entertained at the Japanese
legation tonight that a United fttatt
torpedo boat should have deliberately
put herself between the Russian ship
Aakold and Groxnvol and a Japanese
torpedo boat which arrived off the port
today. The opinion waa expressed that
the Japanese vessel had a perfect right
to go In and raconnotter to ascertain
tf the Russian ships had disarmed, and
thle Is believed by the legation to have
been her object, rather than to attack
the Russian vessel* lying at Shanghai
and thus violate neutrality The Jap
anese legation officials were not in
dlr.ed to construe the action of tha
commander of the Amerlacn torpedo
boat In the light of Intervention, end
said the effort might be to protect
American Interests at Shanghai from

'Wall.rl news ot the engagement of the

i tremendous conflict Is roglng and
'hat victory Is hanging In the balance.
Chinese who left Port Arthur yi>

'hat the Japanese by making desperate
charges, which wers reinforced by sn

nertb an eighth of a mile beyond the
sone of Are. The Chlneee declare that
the Japanese captured one Important
fort Tho fight resulting In the cap
ture of this fort was very severe. The
position was first subjected to a bom
bardment for over forty-eight hours,
with the Japanese Infantry assaulting
It, and compelled the Rueslans'to re

COLONELS AND CHILDREN.
Antl-Race Sulcido Proposition That
Opens a Wide Range of Possi
bilities.
From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
There are some parts of a bill intro
duced In the Georgia legislature by
Representstlve Knight that will ap
peals to a great many persons, nnd
there are some things that It seems to
lack.
Representative Knight would estab
lish Ihe Georgia cltlsen «s a husband
and father. By tho terms of tho bill
all fathers will be relieved of poll tax.
The nrrlvnl of tho first child would re
move this burden. Fnthers of six
children or more would be given the
title of colonel by the state. All
fathers of ten or more children would
be made members of the governor's
staff. No bachctor would be entitled
to a vote.
These provisions commend them-
kelvea In many respects. At the same
time, If It Is n military matter, why
not honor the father according to
rank? Thus, a father of two might
become a second lleutennnL s father
of four a first lieutenant, a father of
five a captain, and so on. This would
more generally distribute the titles,
anil, In addition, would encourage those
who are engaged in raising large fam
ilies to raise even larger ones.
Moreover, it Is manifestly unfair to
a father who la rnlstng a family grad
ually, *wlth a colonelcy In view, and
who hns, perhaps, reached his third
boy, that ho should go without a title
o! somo kind, while hie more fortun-
nte neighbor haa gained the coveted
distinction of colonel by the timely
arrival for the second time of trlpleta
When the unexpected happens In this
way. It Is dear that the father who la
trying to achieve a colonelcy by ad
ding to his family one member at a
time Is at a distinct disadvantage. It
is possible that he would still lack the
six children necessary to' tho title,
while hie neighbor, by leaps and
hounds, passed him nnd become a
memtier of the governor's staff.
This Is a rewnrd than which there
can he no greater for the average
Georgian. And It seems thnt In the
meantime. wbUe the Georgia father Is
endeavoring to become a member of
the governor’s staff, hs should be given
every encouragement possible In Ihe
way of a substitute.
This seems to be Ihe only defect In
Ihe bllL Otherwise It has the great
virtue In placing the title of colonel on
a substantial basis. In effect, a men
must do his duly to his family and hla
stats to become a colonel In Georgia.
This Is vastly better than the Ken
tucky method of making every man a
colonel who has reached the age of 21
years

G.ocral In'.r.it in th. Country in
Plans for Beautifying Washington.
From tho Philadelphia Bulletin.
While Washington Is by common
consent the beet laid out city tn the
United States, already containing In
parks, grounds adjoining public build
ings, sad triangular spaces at the In
tersection of diagonal streets, some L-
scree, a comprehensive scheme of
public Improvement has been recom
mended by a commission of expert
landecnpe gardners. which includes two
Important features.
The first Is the opening of a mall
nearly WO feet In width, from the capl-
tol to the Washington monument, this
to be divided by row, of trees and In
terspersed with fountains, monuments
and other ornamental features. The
second Is that of a circular system o»
outlying parks, which will Include
within Its range the entire system of
fortifications erected for the defense of
Washington during the elvll war, thus
giving the lcty a connected syetem of
parkways covering about 1.000 acres
and Joined by attractive drivewaym.
Costly as the carrying out of this
plan will doubtless prove. It Is well
worth while If honestly conducted.
Washington Is tho capital of the nation,
and It should be seen by a greater
number of American people than any
other city tn the country. The country
la rich enough, and can well afford to
make It a moat beautiful city, one that
will be at once a source of pride ta
every American ctttxen and a model for
other cttlem. Once, at least. In the I if,,
time of every patriotic American.
Washington should be visited when
congress Is In esslon. In order that an
accurate Impression of the working of
the Federal government may be sc-
qoired.
Fortunately the original pun of

Of course, ahe was talking clothes,
and the women who sat just In front

finding the remarks very refreshing to
this age of dress extravagance.
"When that brother of mine gives a
gown honorable mention," tha gtif wad
ylng, "I always feel very sure of my
self whenever I wear it. That's why
I take solid comfort in this outfit.
“I rode down town with Joe the

that he la always auch a stickler for
buying swell things at high priced

of my way for fear I'd tell him the
whole story and humiliate him by let
ting him know how he had been fooled
Into praslng my little Inexpensive
home-made gown.
Yes. I made it myself and it was
only nine cents a yard at that. It'a
fine chambray, too, and such a pretty
soft blue, don’t you think?
Then I had this piece of nice linen
Insertion J had year# ago on something
else, and It was Just the thing for the
front of my shirt waist. The turnover
collar and'cuff* I made of a scrap of
linen scrim. Scrim Is cheap anyway,
and half a yard makes stacks, of col
lars and cuffs, so they cost next to
nothing—call it five cent* a set.
"There's 05 cents for the gown with
collar* and cuff*. Oh, of course, I had
to buy a pattern to make It by. That
wo* 20 cents; so there’s $1.15.
“My hat I picked up on a bargain

pile of them, nnd by taking the trouble
to hunt a little. I found Just the shape
I wanted in this rough black straw-
nil for 25 centa.
"At the ribbon counter they made me
the big black taffeta bow—four yards,
at 10 cents a yard, which Is all the
