Our Slang Hideous,
Says English Writer

London.-Engnsh is undergoing a
great change as result of the pres
ence of thousands of American SOL
diers who remain sometimes many
weeks before being sent across the
Channel and the thousands more
who come back here to recuperate
from the effects of battle.
a correspondent writes to the
Daily Chronicle that "a close watch
will have. 10 be kept if the purity of
the English language is to be ore
served. Already the atrocious slang
of the British navy and army is in
everyday use by the civilians, and at
present there is heavy invasion of
American words and phrases-all
hideous.

AMERICAN SHIPS
COLLIDE; FRASCH
LOST OFF COAST
Fifty of Grew Go Down in
Disaster in Nova Scotia
Waters
By Associated Press

Washington, Oct. 4.-The Amer
lean steamer Herman Frasch, Il
small cargo carrier. manned by n
navy crew and in the overseas sup
ply service, has been sunk in colli-
sion at sea with a loss of probably
fifty of her crew.
The vessel collided at night with
the American tank steamship
George G.. Henry. about $50 miles
southeast Of the Nova Scotian coast
and sent down in seven minutes. She
carried crew of about thirteen Of
ficers and seventy-siX men, and sur
Vivors reported number. only forty
one.
The collision occurred at sea sew
eral hundred miles off the American
coast in latitude 41.06 north and
longitude CABS west. First reports
to the department gave few details
The Henry had her bow crushed put
after standing by all night to pick
up survivors, resumed her voyage.
Both vessels were cargo carriers
in Army supply transport service.
The Frasch was a ship of about 4, =
coo tons gross carrying a crew of
about ninety officers and men, and
the. Henry is a tanker. Since only
forty-one of the Frasch's crew are
accounted by, it is feared there was
heavy loss of life.
