The history Of many a race may be
read in its battle cry. The "Banzai !"
of the japanese, the "Faghaghballahr ~
of the Irish, and our own "Hurrah ="
have found their origin far back in
history.
Although many authorities have de
clared that the word "hurrah" is a de-
velopment of the Jewish "Hosannah,"
the consensus OF opinion now is that it
is a corruption of the ancient battle
cry Of the wild Norsemen, "Tur ale :"
meaning, Thor aid u.s." Formerly the
word was spelled "Huzza" and pro-
nQunced HURRY In one form or
another it is used by almost every
nation.
