WARS E SLANG.

"Will the war exercise an influence on
the French language?" inquiries the Paris
'3Temp."
Such a question can hardly be answered
until after the war. All that can be at pres
ent affirmed is hat certain slang expressions
seem to have made their abiding-place as
belonging legitimately to the language.
Boche is the word which would first occur
to us. Not so in the 'remps' editorial.
1t gives first place to poilu (hairy), the word
