several weeks, has extended all

has been making an intensive
probe in Tacoma for the past
week, IL became known today.
The Investigators are trying to
determine whether large packing
concerns have stretched their ten
tacles into the far west by buy
ing up retail butchers and smaller
packers here. No intimation has
been given as to the result OF the
probe there.
The inspectors have made a
close study of the local packing
house situation and have checked
up all retail butcher shops con-
trolled here by Thomas Carstens.
OF the Carstens Packing Co. 1t
was reported Friday that the in
vestigators had learned that
Carstens obtained control of three
additional Tacoma markets dur
ing the last week or so.
Government officials charge
that large packing industries have
combined to force up the price of
meat. 1t is reported that the in
vestigation of the alleged trust
has been extended to all corners
of the map, Tacoma being the
first city in the Northwest to come
under the scrutiny of federal in
yestieatorS.

Teaching Soldiers Caution.

ficer, powerful as horse-at one OF
the cantonments in the far South, who
has a way Of showing his men the need
for individual responsibility, Edward
Hungerford writes in E7erybody's
Magazine.
1t is his practice to skirmish around
the camp late at night and approach
the sentries, giving careless, indiffer--
ent, casually friendly replies to their
challenges. The sentry in his happy
go-lucky back country fashion, feels
that the stranger is not merely a
friend, but Of the cantonment. Then
200 pounds Of Drawn and muscle
land upon him; he feels an awful
blow in the pit of the stomach; mis-
gun is taken away from him, and he
finds himself sprawling on the ground.
As soon as he can get his breath he
looks at his attacker and begins:

have been completely dead by this

Assistant Secretary Roosevelt of the

They are taken from Indian history.

DESERVED TO BE FORGIVEN:
Dogs Repentance for Thoughtless ACE:
Was Evidently Genuine, as Shown
by His Actions.

Sam was a small, sleek yellow pup
six months ago and was sold by the
dog fancier with the guaranty that
he would not grow to weigh more than
25 pounds, and that he was "most all
bulldog" But Sam grew to look like
a cross between an Airedale and To-
comotive. He has big feet and big
body, and when he comes head on
look out! But that isn't the story.
Like almost all dogs Of the so-callef
genus cur, Sam is almost the smartest
quadruped that ever ate bones. He
can sit up in the corner like Jack Hor-
ner; he can cut q figure eight by walk
ing around his masters legs; he can
jump on chair and put his front feet
on the back and "say his prayers" ne
can lie down and roll over; act like he
is going to cry when someone says:
poor Sam, poor Sam !" and he can do
lots of other things. He walked along
after q pedestrian the other day and
refused to come back until his master
went after him and scoldetl him Sc
verely, so that he would not forget.
Then the master promptly forgot the
matter.

FOCH AS GENERALISSIMO

Gen. FOch may be given supreme command
of the Allied forces on the west front Unifca-
ton OF the commands was one of the points dis
cussed at the recent Versailles conference
Leading critics consider this wise choice
Foch, according to the highest authority (no less
than Hillaire Belloc the noted English military
critic was really the genius of the Marine. Foch
commanded the center of the French lines and
ne it was who picked the psychological moment
to pierce the German center. The story as told
by Belloc is wonderfully interesting. Foch knew
that the German line had stretched west to re-
inforce Won Kluck who was threatened on his
right by the French army of Dumaury and the
British under Sir John French. The German
line gradually thinned by the process Of the COM
mands stepping to the right just as rubber
band is stretched.
Won Kluck had by this time marched into the
French trap and was within fifteen miles of
Paris. Dumaury and the English by forced
marches threatened his right and caused the
withdrawal Of the men westward on the Ger
man line. Foch had been holding the Germans
and was apparently on the defensive
Suddenly Foch struck! The moment had ar
rived when the German line was sufficiently
thinned to be amenable to attack The Germans
crumpled and the turning movement commenced.
The French under Foch spread fan-ike threaten
ing the German wings and opening the posi-
bility of Won Kluc6s destruction through the
loss Of his communications. The Germans fell
back mile after mile to the line held by them up
to last spring when another retreat took place.
France was saved
Belloc states that Germany lost the war in
those fifteen Hateful days Of September 1914
Through Fochs military genius the German high
command was deprived of it's main object. The
newspapers and the public have given Joffre
the credit for this victory but military author
tiles claim it for FOch.
