MEANING OF FABIAN TACTICS

When the allies fell back from their first line in Northern France to the Marne a good deal was said and written of Fabian tactics. and when the Germans fell back from the line of the Marne to the Aisne more was said of Fabian tactics In this country when Washington ard the heroic Continental army fell back before the English in superior force and of superior equipment and perhaps superior discipline, his tao tics were called Fabian In fact, General George Washington was call ed and by his historical writers is still referred to as the American Fabius.' It is probably true that many Americans long parted from their school books have forgotten about Fabius, even though whenever ar army makes an orderly retreat for the purpose of gaining time or reaching a more favorable position they speak fluently of Fabian tao ties" It is phrase that comes trippingly off the tongue.
 Fabius, as might easily be guessed from his name. was Roman He commanded the legions of Rome against the power of Carthage 200 years before the Christian era. The tactics which came to be called after Fabius were no doubt employed cen turies before Rome was born. Fabian tactics without doubt have been used ever since bodies of men made war, but it may be that Fabius so refined CT systematized those tactics that it is just and worthy they bear his name.
 Fabius, in 217 B. C., stood opposite to the hosts or hordes of Carthagin ians under the brilliant leadership of Hannibal In the battle before Fabius

It is applied in every day language to activities of the police. as when they raid gambling den or haunt of thieves.

corning its plant. The establishment

maintains a weekly payroll of between
$1,000 and $4,000. 1t was first estab-
lished by Reuben B. Dunn of this city
and the first meeting of it's directors
was held in 1874. The venture imme-
diately proved it's worthiness and
Lockwood cotton became one of the
staples of the dry goods market. The
