Paul Jones was confronted at every

says in his excellent biography OF Jones
that IL was the first instance In modern
warfare where such a thing had been
done. Jones was al once recognized as
a hero, and the strange flag of the new
nation across the sea became an object
of respect and admiration. But be soon
found himself in a situation of great
practical difficulty.
He had his own crew and a shipload
OF prisoners 10 feed. Our commission

He had used his own money to make

their services. and with his own mon

and 10 keep his men fyom becoming

new TRADE Mark
Law in OPERATION

WASHINGTON, April 1.-The new
law authorizing the registration of
trade marks and providing for their
protection, which went into operation
today. marks the consummation of
an effort on the part of business men
of the United States covering
period of 10 or Is years. For an even
longer period the matter has been
agitated in congress. Since 1870 the
matter of revising and modifying the
laws relating to trade marks has
been before the national legislative
body in one form or other. Under
an act of 1898. President Mckinley
appointed commissioners to revise
and amend the trade mark laws. This
commission, composed of Francis
Forbes, Judge Peter S. Grosscup and
Arthur p. Greeley. made an elaborate
and exhaustive report on the subject
of trade marks, and prepared the bill
which became law today.
The measure, before II was sub
mitted to congress at the beginning
of the last session, received the APP
prevail of practically all the business
organizations in this country. From
a commercial standpoint the new
regulations are of wide interest.
