BATTLEFIELD LINGO '
Some War WordesThat Will Have a
Permanent Place in Our Language.
The English language is a very
"elastic" one, and ever receptiVe of
new Nvords and phnases, says an Eng-
lish vsriter. At the present time it is
I. getting saturated with tents of mili-
tary, French and American origin in
particular. The use of an expressive
word has indeed become .";-: work of
national importance." This term
itself is one of the best evolved in
the present crisis; and its powerful,
unmistakable meaning has affected us
"Going West" is another which hae
a nrofound and poignant significance:
Its origin Ss doubtlea from "some-
where • in North America," and its
peculiar applicability is seen at; one
thinks of the sun sinking to its rest
at eventide behind some of the etertal
hills. "According,to plan' is a mili-
tary idiom which has been frequently
Used of late, and has ranch signili-
cance.
• Among the phrases which have
/mine to stay is that striking French
one; "Ds. ne padeeront pas" (They
shall not pass!). It alit/ of grit and
perseveeance on the part of brave
mons against fearful odds, and will
ever. be an inspiration to future gen-
erations.
Much discussion has taken place
recently over ,the meanings of words
"decimated" and "offal." The first
word is frequently used by war cor-
thspondents to express great ;slaught-
er, but really it only means one, in
ten being derived froin the 'Latin
"deciinus," a tenth. "Offal," 898111,
has It very dieplearting sound to most
ears, as meaning lash refuse. But if
We divide the word into its parts.--
Stoff" and "fall," -it loses its offensive
quality, and denotes simply good
waTeitiee,ripelseat
• Of the words "fly" and
J!fiee"...in our war journalism has also
been confusing to nom. "Fly' mate
to move with winge, while "flee" is
a general term, and denotes moving
with rapidity. :In speaking at the
Kaiser and his people's ancient, how
many of us make any discrimination
between the words "crime," ein," ai1c1.
"vice." .Yet each have quite different
meanings.
Our old, well-woen friende, "Bligh-
ty" and •"mtinouflage," hardly neecl
reference, bet the first named is
doobtless stlevived from "bilati," the
Hindu word for home, and brought to
this country by °or eoldiere from
over:leas: "Camouflage" is a French
expreesion, meaning "to hlow
smoke into another's eyeo"-thereforo
a very effeetive temporary "Wind"!

BAGDAD ILA„S CHANGED
Greet City on the Tigris is No
Longer a Pest Hole.
Paved streets, electric street lights,
municipal sprinkling carts, a modern
.fire department -these are all in old
Bag -dad nosy, or rather, they are in
new Bagdad, for tilt slumberous city
on the Tigris has assumed a 11.0W as-
pect since the British drove out the
Turks a few months ago. -
Nothing now remains of the filth
and squalor of the Turkish regime.
The place is still Oriental,- but the
Oriental atmosphere is less odorifer-
ous, Dead cats are not Wt./to de-
compose in the middle of the narrow
streets. Great :Britain has a svonder-
ful way of leaving Orientalism un-
soiled while making it reasonably
clean. The British soldier cannot abide
filth. His sanitary squads penetrate
the remotest rnews and the most
deeply hidden cesspools cease to
offend. The natives eeon discover
that cleanliness is not a horror,
The Arab is not naturally vile, but
Ise has :fallen into the ways of his
Turkish -masters. Bagdad is as in-
teresting as ever, mid ever so much
safer. After the war many British
tourists will visit the ancient Abba-
sid° cannel where ruled the mighty
caliphs, and will note with interest
the British benefite bestowed on the
city that Wilhelm and Gott once
picked as the far goalaest of Mittel -
e111090.

WAR COSTS CANADA
OVER A BILLION
Last Month's Expenditure Over•
-Sixty-Six and a Half
Millions. -
A despatch from Ottawa says: The
swim has cost Canada well over a bil-
lion (tonere up to date. This com-
prises accounts which fea-ve- actually
passed t1troug'8 the Finance Depart-
ment. It does not include recent

ing Oct. 31, 1918, revenue was 3164,-

increase during the month of 362,-
807,616.
A Record Harvest.
Remarkable changes in British
agriculture ,are betokened by the
striking figures which have been offi-
cially issued. The acres under plough
cover the largest area for the ,last
twenty years; and it is only fair to
give due credit to the land girls for
helping to achieve this splendid re-
sult. In most counties in Beitain the
woman teactor driver is te be seen:- 'sae
In all, there are some 400girlscho-
sen for their skill, judgment and ini-
tiative. These girls are equally ex-
pert with the reaping machine. A.
record was surely established near
Droityrich recently when two girls cut
thirty-five acres of wheat in two and
a quarter clays.
What He Wondered.
Little Frederick went with an aunt
through the -cemetery. Upon his re-
turn home he went to his father and
said; "Father, I went for a svalk with '
auntie through the cemetery to -day,
'and we read the inscriptions on the
tomb -stones." "And, what were your
thoughts, my son after you had done
so?" asked the iather. "Well, fath-
er," replied the child, seriously, "I
wondered where all the wicked _people
were buried."
A bottle containing lime water and -
linseed oil (equal ports), should al- ,
ways be kept in the boine for the
treatment of burns. By applying it
directly to a burn it will allay pain
and keep the skin from blistering.
