THE ARMY TITLE ORIGINS
Names Of ofHelaI Positions Co Sack
to Greek and Roman DayS-soms
Curious Derivatives.

An article on the origin OF the names
of weapons Of war has led ua to specu-
late idly on the origin Of rank in the
army, with more or less interesting re-
suits.
We find that private" comes from
the Latin "privatuB." meaning de-
prived. Probably that's because the
humble private 10 deprived OF the priv
ileges Of his officers; or maybe It lie
because he IL deprived OF his freedom.
Al any rate the Latin term IL prettier
than the Greek. The Greek private
soldier was called ''idiotes" and he
was supposed to be 80 ignorant that
we derive the word idiot" from him.
Corporal" 10 corrupted from cap
oral' and It's root Ii the same 81 that
Of captain" from "caput," head The
corporal is . sort OF head private. In
theory. A sergeant IL higher rank. but
the derivation OF his title 10 lower; for
sergeant" IL from the low Latin 'serv-
lens." meaning q servant.
Captain" We have considered: its
earlier form is captain" and II IL thus
in the Spanish. Lieutenant" 10 10
cum tenens"-one who takes another,s
place. The old English form was
'slieftenaunt." and from that pronuncia-
tion "Ieftenant" still fingers In Eng
land. Major" 10 simply the Latin
word for greater" and mayor is on
~ another form Of the word IN . diff
ferent application. Colonel" Is from
the Italian '.colonneila," meaning . lit
tie column How the little col
umn or regiment, gave it's name
to the commander thereof IL some
what uncertain. Cadet" is an inter
esting word. It comes from the Gas
con "capdet" and means q little cap
tain. or the youthful member Of q
head family. "-CleveIand Plain Deal

The Projected Steamer Line.

1t is interesting to note that project
now under way for a direct steamer line
between Washington and New York had
its counterpart in precisely similar
enterprise just fifty years ago A com
pany was organized in 1866 to provide
water transport between the capital and
New York as means of relieving
freight congestion here The rail ia
cilities then were very poor, and after
the civil war there was heavier demand
for freighting than could be accommo-
dated. The steamer project resulted
It is now proposed to put on line of
boats from Wash h'ncton 70 New York
that will add to the freight facilities
and be reserve in case of emergencies
The only difficulty about such a line
aiding in times of congestion is that with
New York as the terminal it is still
subject to delivery delays at that port
But in any case as an addition to the
capitals lines of communication it is to
be welcomed.

of these opportunities. Heretofore it
has subscribed in full to every one. and
sometimes more than enough to meet
every demand The largest amount has
come in the last few hours, as a rule,
and so it may be expected that now, be
fore morning, considering this as the
last day, the total amount will be fur

people a years income adequate for
their necessities.
No better Christmas present could be
given than a donation to the fourteen

limit it cannot be with propriety in

Gov. Glynn by large majority He had
an unusual opportunity. New York at
that time looked pivotal. Without il.
so the calculation ran. the democrats
could not win; and here was a repub-
lean who had carried the state over
whclmingly against an opponent in
trenched in office and personally very
popular. Why, then, not Whitman for
republican national standard bearer in
1916! The party would need strong
man. and here he was.
But complications set up. Factionism
broke out in the ranks of the New York
republicans, and Gov. Whitman became
involved Difficulties increased to the
point where the Whitman presidential
boom ceased to boom, and attention
turned to others.
Nobody discovered the change sooner
than Gov. Whitman himself; and upon
diseov5xing it he took prompt action.

ent idleness was raised to high degree.
Knitting or embroidery could be whisk-

eye at the first sound of football. There
was an added thrill in Christmas gift
making i'll those circumstances. To
work for weeks on some sort of handi-
craft without letting it be seen by the
intended receiver increased the joy of
giving.
Now it is only necessary to go into a
store and select from great assortment
and take the bundle home or have it
delivered at the house of neighbor 1t
IS easy to smuggle gifts past the in
evitably watchful eyes of Others Still
a remnant of the old thrill remains, and

that compensate for the pains that are
