 The term "Boche," now so common ly appearing in American newspaper dispatches as familiar designation of the Germans, is shown to have ori- ginated before the war in Paris. The German assistants of Paris printers were so designated. The term "Boche" was probably also used in the Franco Prussian war in 1870, for Zola, in his novel La DeBacle," put the terms in the mouths of French soldiers to designate Germans. The term Zee Boche" was used, before the Franco Prussian war at least, as equivalent to "that chump". "Tete de boche" is the French slang for "wooden pote" or "blockhead".

 "Poilu," the word used affectionate- ly by the French to designate their soldiers in the present war, is shown to have originated from the French word "poil," meaning hair. It is sup posed that the term Poilu came to be aphed to French soldiers because they were in the trenches and did not shave, as the British soldiers did. "Bolsheviki" is shown in the Cyclo- pedia to be a Russian word meaning "belonging to the majority. The Bolsheviki were originally the left or radical wing of the Russian socialist democratic party. In 1905, at the time when the split in the party oc- cured, the radicals, led by Lenine were in the majority, and hence called themselves Bolsheviki.
 An abbreviated history of the Rus sian revolution, from the overthrow of the Czar, through the Kerensky re- gime, and the Bolsheviki control, to the opening of separate peace nego- tiations with Germany, is contained in the Cyclopedia. ... .
