The Saint Patrick's tea given by
the W. C. T. U. at the handsome
home of Mr. and Mis. L. A. Harri
son was one of the most harmoni
ous social functions of the season,
and reflects much credit on all in
terested in planning and performing
the many details. The house was
lavishly decked in green with many
emblems of the Saiut, and of the
good work to which he lent his
name and fame. The little globe on
the table in the parlor with its
encircling white ribbon—emblem of
purif—the ribbon held In place
with a bit of green was a pretty
idea. Around the rooms were many
true Irish flags. Shamrock was al
so much in evidence. Mrs. L, H.
Pedersen graciously received the
guests at the door, and they were
conducted to various seats by Mrs.
James Kennedy, while a number of
pretty young matrons assisted by
a bevy of dainty lassies made glad
th* inner man with a bountiful help
ing of dainties such as the house
wives of Skagway always prepare fo
all occasions. The hostess, Mrs. L.
A. Harrison, assisted by a number
of friends, presided a^t the table and
buffet in the dining 100m, which was
tastefully decked lu emblems and
flags befitting the memory of the
patron saint, and with the color so
dear to the hearts of those inter
ested in th& work of temperanco.
"Colonel" Harrison, familiarly
known as "Bunny" looked the part
of a good worker with his necklet

amounted to something over thirty
dollars, which will go towards de

STRATEGY IN WAR
Retreats to Lure the Enemy From
His Base of Supplies.
KNOWN AS FABIAN TACTICS.
Methods That Have Been Used by
Warriors Since Long Before the
Christian Era — George V/ashington
Was Called the American Fabius.
After the great war in Europe had
broken loose in the summer of 1914
and the allies fell back from their first
line in northern France to the Marne a
good deal was said and written of "Fa
bian tactics," and when the Germans
fell back from the line of the Marne
to the Alsne more was said of "Fa
bian tactics." In this country when
Washington and the heroic Continental
army fell back before the English in
superior force and of superior equip
ment and perhaps superior discipline,
his tactics were called "Fabian." In
fact General George Washington was
called and by historical writers is stiU
referred to as "the American Fabius."
It is probably true that many Amer
icans long parted from their school
books have forgotten about Fabius,
even though whenever an army makes
an orderly retreat for the purpose of
gaining time or reaching a more favor
able position they speak fluently of
"Fabian tactics." It is a phrase that
comes trippingly off the tongue.
Fabius, as might easily be guessed
from 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
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 he that Fabius so refined
or systematized those tactics that it is
Just and worthy they bear his name.
Fabius in 217 Ii. C. stood opposite
to the hosts or hordes of Carthagin
ians under the brilliant leadership of
Hannibal. In battle before Fabius
Maxlmus was called to the supremo
command of the Roman troops in the
field the Carthaginians had been vic
torious. Fabius, profiting by what
had befallen his predecessors in com
mand, avoided a pitched battle in the
open and retreated, fighting as be 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 troops
more than he wearied his own and
delaying n battle until be reached
ground where his position would give
him a great advantage—a position
against superior numbers—where the
loss in men and morale of the assail
ants must be great and where at
the proper moment the counterstroke
could be delivered with high promise
of success, the tactics of Fabius won.
In some ways fte phrase "Fabian
tactics" has been diverted from its
original and proper significance and
is made to comprehend any tactics of
a particularly shrewd or "foxy" na
ture. In this connection It has been
said that Napoleon employed "Fabian
tactics" with brilliant success at Aus
terlitz. The combined Austrian and
Russian armies greatly extended their
line In an effort to turn the right
flank of the French army and cut his
communications. It seemed as though
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 portion
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 Rome deal at consid
erable length with a family called the
Fabii. It is narrated that this ancient
and renowned family undertook the
duty of defending Roman territory
against incursions by the Yeientines
and for this purpose established them
selves at a place on the Cremara river.
The Fabii were drawn into ambush
and were all killed. The date of that
event is given as B. C. 477.
A boy of the family Fabii had been
left in Rome, and ha became the sec
ond founder of the family. Fabius
Eslmus, who won his laurels and his
spurs in the second Punic war, was
descended from that boy, and there
was another famous member of the
family whose name was Fabius Pictor,
who wrote a history of Rome and who
is often referred to as the earliest Ro
man historian.—Washlngton Star.
