JHE CASPER DAILY TRIBUNE BATTLEFIELD TEAMS REVELATION TO AMERICANS British Tommies Are Ade Phrases in Original Vernacular; Some Trench Talk and Its Application By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS. United Press Staff Correspondent. WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN THE FIELD, June 10.—(By Mail) — Ar ricans think they are some bears when it comes to slinging slang, but « British Tommy isn’t so worse him- - when he sets his bean to working | g slangological lines. What is patter than ‘ 1 machine-gun, for instance? Or Pip” for an observation post? One admit that there’s some class to terms and while you've got your glers on this column just take it 1 me that there’s more pep of the me mustardy standard where this ’ is a shell of such high velocity that its whizz and its bang are almost simultaneous. A s a shell which fails to explode. gink with a bone head is a ‘‘dud” The tip you got on the filly that backed off the baards by the other nags on the back stretch, was a ‘“‘dud” and the piece of rope the candidate re-election handed you was a smoke. A trench mortar is a “Joe-Emma” i the big black ball of high explo- the Germans reply with is a lum-pudding.” An anti-aircraft gun is an “Archibald” or an “Archie,” while the German shell which bursts with a fuzzy yellow puff of smoke is “wooly bear.” To the England Tommy a German i “Fritz” and “Fritz” he is to the Canadians. The Scotch call him an! “Allyman’ (probably after the French | “Allemand’), but he is nobody to the Irish but a “Jerry.” A British staff icer is a ‘‘brass-hat’’ perhaps be- e of the gold braid on his cap, i Tommys own headgear, the steel! RECRUITS POUR FATE FORECAST Fortune Tellers Reap Harvest | from Soldiers Who Seek to Learn of Future Thru the Crystal Ball By J. W. PEGLER. United Press Staff Correspondent. LONDON, June 10.—(By Mail)— The old crystal ball has been brought cut of storage and polished up for new revelations, and the ouija board and planchette have a new coat of Nac for the clairvoyant business booming in London. Soldiers, sailors and women are ob- erved to form the bulk of “Trade.” Superstition, curiosity and the sneak- ing hope that the truth may be fore- told before they go back to the trenches or the turbulent North Sea, | arive hundreds of robust boys into the mysterious, half-darkened parlors. In Notting Hill the planchette rivals the crystal ball in popularity. The} saloons are crowded and the charge is as much as the traffic will stand. Keen-eyed attendants quickly size up the customer’s total net cash. Aroit questions pump the client of | useful information before he is ad- mitted to the mysterious trance parlor where incense burns in the shadowy corners and heavy draperies fall about the couch of the “professor.” Tommy wants to know whether he will come back; perhaps he asks whether he will receive a “blighty” wound. The fortune teller is willing to oblige. He can foretell the soldier’s fate in many ways—through the re- vealing crystal, the ouija or by read- ing the client’s aura. He charges 50 cents to five dollars for the informa- tion. A care-worn mother asks whether her s6n is alive. Unwittingly she had} elready described the boy. | “The crystal is clouding over,” says the Professor. “I see a movement of marching men—mud, rain, smoke. The sene changes. I see a face—it is your son’s; blue eyes, straight nose, ruddy cheeks. He is whistling as he marches to the rear. Madame, the boy is safe.” WS ee Don’t hide behind the : that there will be other calls for money to answer and cut down your contribution to the Red Cross. When the boys at the front are dying for lack of hospital service, it will be too late to provide. Your contribu- tion then can only buy a coffin and dig a grave for them. The money must come now to save them from the grave by proper preparation of hospitals and supplies. I have a big, powerful car that Would make a fine truck.

Since the guard is not to be called out for more than a month, there is yet time for stimu- lated recruiting campaigns to reduce the number that must be drafted. But the war department officials believe at least 50,000 men must be con- scripted to fill its ranks. The men conscripted for the regular army will | not be sent to training camps in their own localities but will be sent to one of the army posts where the regular army is being expanged by the organ- ization of 51 new regiments.
