young men have been drafted" and
the married men are claiming Eek
emption." The Stacker" is among
US, seeking to avoid service by a
quick marriage. Women are taking
the place of men in business and in
dustry, and we are beginning to see
the "conductorettes" taking the place
of the suffragists.
These new words which have been
set off by quotation marks are but
fewsamples of the vocabulary of war
slang which we have adopted during
the last three years. AS we become
more and more drawn into the thick
of the fight it is to be expected that
this list will become more familiar to
US. New words will spring up to
cover different phases of the life at
the training camps. The stimulus of
war reaches everywhere, even to our
language.

NEW WORDS FROM THE WAR

Our everyday dialect is always
changing and, in the midst of the
great international upheaval, our
peace phrases have been set aside to
make way for a new slang supplied
in the main from the trenches. Every
great war has added to our supply of
words. 1t is difficult to estimate yet
how great will be the present contri-
button. How many of the new words,
the slang of the trenches and the
catchwords of the press, will endure
after they have outlived their present
usefulness?
In the trenches the English Tom
my" speaks of the enemy as Fritz"
or Hun" and he calls his French
comrade "Poilu," while the Americans
who are still behind the trenches are
being hailed as the "Sammies." True,
the Sammies dislike the name, but so
it was with the "Yanks" in the Civil
War.
Then, aside from the nicknames
which have been more or less arbi-
trarily adopted for the soldiers, there
has appeared a class of phrases orig
mating from trench warfare. "Over
the top" has a connotation which may
long be utilized by literary men in
picturing the scenes of the battle.
mo Mans Land" is another famous
phrase which was adopted early in the
war. Along with these more imag-
inative phrases is group of technical
military terms which have come into
general usage as result of their
constant recurrence in the news dis
patches. Liquid fire." curtain fire"
and '"75" shells are examples of this
group. The fighters themselves have
given to us a few words which are
used commonly in the slang of the
day. We have not yet reached the
stage when we can speak of "strafng"
as the Britisher uses the word, but in
England it has become common by
word. A teamster shouts God strafe
you" to his horse who balks or turns
a corner wrong. The "Boche" is the
trench name for the Huns. 'Rosalie"
is the pet name for the bayonet, while
airplanes and shells which are use
less are referred to as "duds."
In America we who cannot be with
our Allies overseas" are doing our
bit," possibly by "Hooverizing." Our
"conscripts" are "mobilizing" at the
''cantonments." Our "hyphenated"
citizens are encouraging the "paci-
fists" to pro-German activities. Our

COLUMBIA'S HOSPITALITY

In the present age, when people
travel from place to place, when con-
ventions and meetings are frequently
held and as a consequence men re-
ceive good or bad impressions of
towns by the sort of treatment given
visitors, there is nothing more i'm
portant in a towns good reputation
than its hospitality. Men have been
known not infrequently to visit a
town and go out throughout the state
to talk about it unfavorably, to criti-
cize its manner of receiving visitors
and the like.
Columbia, through the many years
of his history, has always managed
to keep its good reputation so far as
hospitality is concerned. Founded
by men from the South, who believed
in leaving out the latch-string" for
the traveller and whose greatest pleas
ure was in entertaining visitor
from another place, the town has
earned the reputation of being place
where travellers of all sorts may go
and feel at home.
The fact that in its latter days Co.
lumbia has been chosen for a conven-
tion city, that women's clubs and 9TH
er organizations have met here time
and time again in preference to some
other place, are all proofs that this
place has kept its good reputation
through the years. With its splendid
facilities for entertaining visitors to-
day, Columbia will doubtless continue
to live up to the standard it has set
in the past and always be famous for
a genuine Southern hospitality.
