Methodi That Have Been lleed by Warriara Skioi Before the Christian Era —George Washington Wee Called the American Fabiua. After the great war In Europe had broken loose in the summer of 1&14 and the allies fell back froni their first j line In northern Km nee to the Marnfe a good deal was said and written of "Fa biau tncttea." and when the Germans fell back from the line of the Maiue to the .Visile more said of "Fa- I'lan tactics." In this country when Washington und the heroic Continental army fell back before the Kngllsh In superior force and of superior equip ment and perhaps superior discipline, bla tactics were lulled "Fabian." In fact Genoral George Washington was culled and by historical writers is still referred to us "the American Fablus." It is |>robnbly true that many Amer icans long putted from tlielr school books have forgotten about Fablus, even though wbeuever an arm} 1 makes an orderly retreat for the purpose of gaining tluie or reaching n more favor able position they speak fluently of "Fabian tactics." It is a phrase that comes trippingly off the tongue. Fablus, ns might easily be guessed frou) his name, was a Roman. He commanded the legions of Rome against the powers of Carthage 200 years before the Christian era. The tactics which came to be called after Fablus were uo doubt employed cen turies before Rome was born. Fabian tactics without doubt have been used ever siuce bodies of men made war, but it may be that Fablus so refined or systematized those tactics thnt It Is \ust and worthy they bear his name. Fabius In 217 11. C. stood opposite the hosts or hordes of Carthagin ians under the brilliunt leadership of Hannibal, lu battle before Fabius Maiimue was called to the supreme command of the Roman troops in the field the Carthaginians had been vic torious. Fablus, profiting by what had befallen his predecessors Iti com mand, avoided a pitched battle in the open anil retreated, fighting ns he fell back, holding off the enemy with what are now described as rear guard actions. Drawing the enemy farther and farther from base or the sources of supplies, wearying their trooi» more than he wearied his own and delaying a battle Until he reached ground where his p«-ition would give him a grei:t advantage—a position agaltist superior numbers—where the loss in men and morale of the assall ! ants must be great and where at ; the proper moment the counterstroke j could be delivered with high promise j of success, the tactics of Fablus won. I In some ways "the phrase "Fabian I tactics" has been diverted from its j original and proper significance and | Is made to comprehend any tactica of ! a particularly shrewd or "foxy" na- I ture. In this connection it has been , said that Napoleon employed "Fabian tactics" with brilliant success at Aus i terlltz. Tho combined Austrian and ' Russian armies greatly extended their 1 line In an effort to turn the right 1 flank of the French army and cut his I communications. It seemed as though i this move would succeed, for Napoleon permitted It to develop without seri ous resistance. Then he suddenly con centrated his whole strength at the center, with the exception of a portlou of Bernadotte's corps, which he left to deal with the Austrian turning force, and burst through the line, destroying one wing of the Austrian army as it retreated. Historians of Home fleal at consid erable length with o family called the Fabii. It is narrated that this undent and renowned family undertook the duty of defending Itoman territory against Incursions by the Veientlnes and for this, purpose established them solves nt a pluee on the Cremara river. The Fabii were oy, and, there was another famous member of the family whoso name was Fnbius Plctor, who wrote a history of Rome and who Is often referred to as the earliest Ro man historian.- -Washington Star. A DIVERTED RIVER. Who Changed the Flow of the Karun In Persia Is a Mystery. Arabistan lies at-tbe bend of the Per sian gulf. Its western boundary being the Shntel-Arab. the great river formed by the combined waters of the Tigris ind Euphrates, the rigbt bank of which ia in Persian territory, while the left Is in Arabia.- Forty miles above where It flows Into the Persian gulf the Shatel-Arab is Joined by the Karun, and the town of Mohammerah stands at the junction of the two rivers, the former a clear green stream, the latter thick and red. In ancient times the Karun flowed into the gulf and part of the river still runs along the old channel, but the main strpuju has been diverted, three miles above Mohammerah. into an arti ficial channel known geographically as the Haffar canal. It Is Impossible even to make a guess at the date of this wonderful work, not even a tradition remaining of the ruler whose farsightedness realised the enor mous advnntage of joining up the two water ways. Alexander the Great has been suggested, but apparently for no other renson than that he Is a con venient and likely person to credit with any ambitious enterprise, and that one of his many Alexandras was built on the site of the present Mohammerah.— Wide World MaxazLne. V 11 SISTERS ARE OUTRAGED IN MEXICO, SAYS 88. KELLY Head of Catholic Church Extension So ciety Declares That Murder la "One of the Minor Faults" In the. Republic Torn by Revolutions By Aaattcuiinl Prttai, Pittsburgh, Pa., April 13.—Declar ing that " murder knit bee 11 one of the minor faults of the revolution in Mex- ■ ieo ' and tlmt "its story is far worse thuu the story of the first revolution in Prance," tlio ( Very Rev. Francis C. Kelly, of Chicago, president of the Catholic Church Kxtension Society, to- • day discussed "Mexico and thu Amer ican Church'' before an important gathering of clergymen here. r. Kelly said that present day difficulties in Mexico were largely be ciiusy of three serious question: Tho rights of conscience, land ami educa tion. Mexico, he said, had been with out anything like freedom yf consilience for more than fifty years. Church property had been confiscat ed Juarez and had never been returned. No outward manifestation of religion was permitted, even distinctive dress ot clergymen being prohibited in tho street*. In tho large cities schools were supplied bv the state but outside such communities Mexico practically has no schools.
