General War Summary.
~ J. L. DARWIN,
Special corrsspondsnt.

The change at the front II almost
too sudden to inspire perfect trust
The German army, which advanced
steadily and irresistibly from August
- to September 2. has now. without
having fought any decisive battle.
started falling back. This movement
has continued for four consecutive
days.
We must not be deceived. Although
we do not know what It IL. some for.
midable counter stroke IL being exc
cuted. The German army has not
yet been defeated anywhere in the
center, where the hardest fighting
has been since Tuesday. 1t IL never
theless plain that the Germans have
not exerted their full force. They
must be doing something. but what
is the unknown quantity?
Several answers are given. One
suggests that the Germans have de-
cided as the least OF the evils pre-
scented to force, II they can, the north
ern section of the barrier of the chain
from Verdun to Toul and especially
to reduce the former great fortress.
This would not be q solution nor any
thing like It of the main German prob
lem, but 1t would very much simpli-
fy It.
The fall of Verdun or of some
Of the smaller forts to the south Of
1t might compel the allies to resume
their great retreat.
The recent presence Of the kaiser
at Metz and near Nancy gives color
to the view that the Germans may
be hoping to batter their way through
the huge artificial bulwarks of the
French frontier along the middle
Meuse. Then the Germans would be
able to concentrate freely at least
six Of their seven armies instead Of
1--WE as now for q further invasion Of
France
The biggest battle, indefinitely pro-
longed. would still have to be fought
out more or less on the present lines.
Another view IL that the Germans
are accommodating strength and work
ing out plans for q more tremendous
attempt on the French center at Sez-
anne and vitry In the hope Of break
ing the allies front and cutting on
at least q considerable portion OF
their forces.
A third view, and am inclined to
share 1t, Is that at the end Of the
sixth week of the war the whole Ger
man position to the west and to
the east IL Of q character too unex-
pected, too disappointing and too Sc
rious to be dealt with hastily.
The entire change in the military
situation has only become clear to
the French general star within >the
last two days. Neither General Joffre.
It seems, nor his lieutenants. Generals
Pau. Damede. Gallieni nor Sir John
French are men to be held cheaply.
II IL by no means easy to plan heroic
stroke. Just az the fall of the Ma
muir fortressses forced complete
change in the Anglo-French plan Of
defense two weeks ago and started
their unfortunate retreat. 20 now
there 10 reason to believe that the
failure OF the Germans to turn the
allies left flank or break through it,
center before Paris has compelled a
complete change In the Germans Of
fensive program.
One day lost In executing any plan
by the Germans now 10 an inestimable
loss.

follows:
"Heard of lots Of foolish

difference what folks call HIM

Remark Stirs Her Anger.
Mrs. Moss challenged the Nc
Ilhenny company to prove its
right to the name in the courts.
and she charges that Mcllhenny
then made the one statement that
has served to keep her always IN
fighting humor: "They are a
small, struggling people and /

he said.
It was then the real "tabasco'
broke.
Mrs. Moss went before Patent
Office officials and presented evil
dence that McIlhenny had made
false statement and the Patent
Office cancelled the McIlhenny
trade mark. That was in Feb.
1910. McIlhenny appealed to
the Commission Of Patents and
again was defeated. With these
two victories to her credit, Mrs.
Moss instituted suit against the
McIlhenny company in the Su-
preme Court of Louisiana, ask
ing for $4,000 damages. The
ease attracted considerable at
tention. due to the prominence OF
McIlhenny and the spirited pros
ecution Of Mrs. Moss.
Justice Land read the decision
Of the Louisiana tribunal in this
case. 1t was unanimous and
among other things he said:
Our conclusions are that the
defendant had no exclusive right
to the used of the word ta-
basco' as a trade mark that the
term "tabasco" became public
property in 1887, on the expira-
ton Of the patent issued in 1870;
that the registration 1906 was

defendant acted in bad faith with
the intent to drive the plaintiff
and other competitors from the
market and that the plaintiff had
not infringed on the good viii
rights Of the defendant

With that statement came also
a Judgment against the Mc1lhen-
ny company for $4,000. Mrs. Moss
next undertook to have President
Wilson dismiss McIlhenny from
his Federal office. charging that
because of his false affidavit he
was not morally qualified to hold
office as Civil Service ~Commis-
sioner.
She went to Washington ana
interviewed Louisiana's members
of Congress. She took with her
certified copies of all litigation,
photograph Of the affidavit that
McIlhenny had signed and sought
an interview with President Viii
son. The President was engaged
with the Mexican question and
the Panama tolls fight and Mrs
Moss learned he could not give
her the time she desired for
full presentation of her case. She
returned to New iberia and for
warded her evidence and charge
to the President. She also called
| the Presidents attention to tho
fact that the Mc1lhenny com
pany had sent to the trade 10000
circulars warning dealers not tt
