TO PRESERVE SLANG
OF BRITISH TOMMY
Picturesque L a n qua g e OF
Trenches to be Chronicled
in Book Form.

LONDON. Nov. 26.-An effort is
to be made to preserve in the British
museum the wartime slang of the
British Tommy. For the benefit of
the students Of the great war a die
tionary Is in the course of complia-
ton dealing with the many words
and phrases born OF the war.
The secretary of the imperial war
museum has issued a request for
notes on the subject giving the slang
terms used IN the British army, to-
gether with the meaning of the
words and, If possible, their deriva-
ton.
Much Of this slang was a legacy
OF the old regular soldier ar Mons
and originated for the most part In
the east. The most popular and the
most romantic and sentimental slang
term OF the lot undoubtedly was
"blighty" That Is now almost uni
versaIly used. 1t is derived from the
Hindustani and means home
However, the history Of such eX-
pressions as kip "posh." 'wangle, q"
"eyewash, % "swank," square push
ing" or "wind-up" is not yet written,
and the secretary aforesaid IS now
carefully collating his data. In his
request for data the secretary very
naively suggests that, Of course, -
many Of the army terms are not po-
lite and hardly At for publication"
AS a rule, however, the slang of
the British Tommy has a much more
wholesome derivation than most O.
the French "argot les branches"
One Trench Language.
Perhaps the most astounding thing
about the army slang OF the British
is the generality Of its uses. Those
knowing Great Britain know that
| the dialect OF no two counties is
alike. The accent Of the Lancashire
man IS as different as possible from
that OF his neighbor. the Yorkshire
man, while the troops from North
cumberland were completely and
wonderfully unintelligible to the rest
Of the British army. Many Of the
Welsh regiments, too. could speak no
other language but their native
I Welsh. Yet the language Of the
/ trench was the same for all.
To all a brass hat" was a staff
field officer. True. the Scotsman put
two extra "rs" into IL. and the
/ Northumbrian. "a he s. wont, gut
/ turalled" the "r'' and made it ap-
pear like-well. certainly nothing
which could be printed.
Some of the examples are as fol

SUPER -SLEUTH OF
ENGLAND IS FIRED
Sir Basil Thompson, spy
Catcher of War" Loses
Job by Politics.

LONDON, Nov 26.-Britain's su-
per-detective, Sir Basil Thompson.
has been fred as a result OF the
pressure brought upon the govern
ment by the extremists IN the labor
group OF the members OF the house
OF commons.
Never a lover OF the trades union
fist or strike agitator. Sir Basil sub
jected them 20 a merciless vigilance
during the war Now the war Is
over Sir Basil has the modification
OF seeing many of his former enem-
les in positions of influence with
the government. with the inevitable
result
In war time Sir Basil Thompson
was a very Jealous servant of the
state AS a spy trapper he was
unique and many of the hapIess
fore .gners who ended their lives
facing "a firing squad in the precincts
OF the Tower OF London owed their
dire fate 10 the vigilance and cum
ming OF Basil Thompson.
The special branch at Scotland
yard was especially organized by
him. His trained assistants were cir
culated throughout the muniuon
areas OF Great Britain disguised as
ordinary workers and thus reported
on an the agitators and pacifists IN
their midst.
Great Britain in those sad days
was suffering a good deal from de
creased output Of shells and other
war material, and all over the coun-
try there were ominous threats OF
strikes and stoppages.
Many Battles.
Undoubtedly diabolic influences
were at work, so diaboucal means
had TO be administered 10 Illustrate
them. Conducting work Of such del
icacy, Sir Basil naturally fell foul
Of the genuine and loyal trades
union official There were many
battles. Sir Basil triumphed in
days of war, but apparently has lost
~out in days OF peace.
Now. after 80 years of battling
with secret service spies OF all ma
tions, international crooks. bolshe-
yiks, anarchists and gunner, he has
10 slumber off into inactivity at the
very height Of his career.
Mentally one pictures him a ruth
less, implacabIe individual. utterly
without a soul, yet in truth he is
the very reverse. Not in any par
ticular does he suggest the police Of
fetal in appearance he is typical
OF his birth-being the son OF an
Archbishop Of YOrk-a charming.
cultured English gentleman with
Courtly manners and a fine person
ality.
1t was spy-Catching that was his
favorite work. lie never treated a
spy as an ordinary criminal Liable
10 death as many OF them were az
any moment, Sir Basil always re-
garded them as superpatriots who
were performing risky ytasks for the
safety of their country.
At the art of biumng he was a
master The trapping of the Ger
man spy, Reginald Rowland, in
1915, was done by a trick which
would have fooled the cleverest,
Rowland, pretending 10 be an Amer
4 lean citizen, was telling Sir Basil
/ that M had never been TO Germany
/ I'm his life and certainly could not
speak the language.
Nothing was said about that. and
/ the discussion went on 70 other mat
tiers. Suddenly Sir Basil yelled al
him, I'm German, Attention" And
Rowland stiftened out as on Prus-
sian parade ground.
