Opprobrious Epithets

A correspondent informs US that a
woman defendant in a Brittany po-
lice court has been fined SO francs
for calling another woman IAN old
tank" The offense presumably lay
in the unusual as in the case Of the
fishwife whom O'Connell silenced by
calling a "parallelopiped." psyehoi-
ogy has never yet solved the problem
why comparatively innocuous
phrase may cause more offense than
the vilest abuse. For instance,
mort aux vaches" does not strike
the Englishman as so very terrible.

proposed to eliminate them entirely.

As to the export and import rates.
attention is called to the fact that
General Order 2S provided that all

The First Army
philadelphia Press.

it L Nt'S''
Announcement that the first
American ARM is being formed in
France is fresh proof that our boys
are now on the scene in numbers
large enough to be reckoned with.
The plan is a tentative one. Its eff
cheney is vet to be proved. But con-
fidence is expressed by American
officers that it will be made perma-
nent: and that newly arrived troops
will be organized into corps and con-
solidated into similar field armies
as fast IS they become available.
The first army numbers 10000
strong. easily the largest single army
unit in the field. 1t is composed of
two divisions each from the three
branches Of the military service
regulars, National Guard and Ma
tional Army. In its ranks are many
OF the men who have seen the long
est service in France, and so it will
be as near to a veteran army as an
American army yet can be. More
over, it is but supplementary to the
approved plan for brigading Ameri-
can troops with French and British
wherever that is practicable, the in
ference being that our troops are
arriving in larger numbers than are
deemed expedient to consolidate
with Allied troops.
The public at home will view the
creation of the first American field
army with unalloyed joy. Willing
as it has been to see the individual
identity O. Americas military forces
merged with the Allies FIR the good
of the cause, it welcomes with pride
and confidence the prospect that
some day an unauthorized Ameri-
can army 100000 strong will be
thrown against the enemy on bat
tie front of its own.
