WORLD
WA
VAR MS
by Lieut.. Frank E. Hogon
"Gone West"

Two outstanding contributions to
current speech were made by the Brit
ish soldiers during the World war.
One was "Blighty" and the other was
Gone West" "Biighty" was derived
from an East Indian word meaning
"over the sea" or ''home'' and was
probably brought to the battlefields Of
France by veterans who had served in
India. So when Tommy" was wound
ed, he accepted his wound philosophy
cally as 'ticket to Blighty." The
term was also used as synonym for
leave of absence"
The American soldiers did not read
lily pick up "Blighty" from their Brit
ish comrades in arms. Perhaps the
difference between a 3,OOO-mile trip
across the Atlantic and the short pass
age across the English channel ac-
counts for the fact that "Blighty"
didn't figure much in the life of the
average Yank. But he did take over
the expression "Gone West" as
synonym for death.
There are various theories as to
the origin Of this expression. 1t was
common phrase in South Africa at
the beginning of the present century
and it was probably taken to England
by British soldiers who had served
in the Boer war and then carried to
France. But the idea goes back much
farther than that. Thousands of years
ago the Egyptians spoke of their dead
as those who had "Gone West" and
among many primitive peoples, includ-
ing the North American Indians, there
was a belief that the abode of the
dead was in the west, the land of the
setting sun.

THE STORY

Yancey Cravat, just returned
from the newly opened Indian
territory, relates his experiences
to large gathering of the Ven
able family. Yancey is married

lawyer and editor of the Wichita
Wigwam. Yancey announces he is
going back to the Oklahoma coun-
try with Sabra and their four

rive at Usage, where Yancey in
tends to start a newspaper. Yam
cey is determined to find out who
killed Editor Pegler of the New
Day. Yancey consents to conduct
divine worship on Sunday. Dur
ing the services Yancey an
nounces he has learned who killed
Pegler. He stoops in time to es-
cape a bullet fired by Yountis.
Still STOPPING, Yancey shoots and
kills Yountis. Then he announces
that Yountis killed Pegler. Yam
cey illustrates bank robbery
and kills two desperadoes. Yam
cey urges Sabra to join him in the
Run at the opening of the Chero-
kee strip. She refuses. He is
gone five years. Dixie Lee and
her girls arouse the indignation
of the wives and mothers of
Usage. The war with Spain be-
gins. Yancey returns in the uni
form of a Rough Rider. Dixie
Lee is on trial as public null
sance. Yancey defends her and
she is acquitted.
