Slang Of the Trenches.
Here Are a Few More.

Here is some of the latest verbal
coinage of the cantonments:
Can for the guardhouse.
Sinker for a wrist watch.
Spurlos versenkt for bad meat.
A cot Is a squeaky.
ITO check in" is to return to bar
racks. and ito check OUT is to go off
with grin and a pass
ITO wade in" means to slip in by the
shower baths after taps 1t is not as
easy to do this now as in the early
days, when there was no check-up on
empty cots.
slum means a stew
shingle is a piece of toast.

ENGLISH SLANG PUZZLES
u. S. SOLDIERS IN FRANCE
White Horse, Fag, Can, Sinker and
Scrim Mystify Americans
Training cover There"

Folks back home will soon need a
new dictionary Words are being coined
here every day. The English soldiers
here from the battle front and those
other Englishmen of the National
Army who waived exemption, OF,
rather, took it as jolly good joke to
get drafted into the "Yanks' Army,
marvel at the slang. But the men of
this camp find much in the English
army language to amuse and perplex
them. The swapping of slang is one
of the many forms Of comradeship that
prevails among the English "non-coms"
and the selected men.
Back to Blighty'' is a phrase many
Americans have read on postal cards
from friends cover there" 1t means,
of course, back to England this name
for the kingdom being popular with
s. soldiers and sailors.
When Pay Day Arrives.
"Oh, here comes the screw" Is a
puzzle for most of Americans, and
it is something the English soldier
cannot explain, although he translates
1t thus: Here comes the paymaster."
THE white horse Is coming down the

men of the National Army. 1t iS~an-
other way of saying "the ghost will
walk" or that the money is to paid
out minus, Of course, allotments to de-
pendents, wives and some ex-wives
who are much surprised to get such
reminders of patriotic husbands they
have had.
Next to money comes food and the
first food il bread. The National Army
men call it punk. BY that they do not
intimate anything as to it's quality. It's
punk, a noun, not punky. an adjective.
The English soldiers, the ''nOn-com
sitting right at the table, with the men
Of the United States National Army,
never ask for bread. It is always:

Slang Of the Trenches.

AS for bunkie, that is United States
Army way Of saying the man in the

not mean chum. A chum is buddie.

OF the marvels Of the environments, but

death of Senator Husting:
