"YANKS" ONLY NICKNAME
TO STICK TO AMERICANS
Now that American soldiers are
known as Yanks everywhere In Eu
rope, says the Red Cross Magazine.
It seems strange that anybody ever
tried to fasten other names on them
Yet there were many shortlived
movements to disprove in this case
the old axiom that a lasting nick
name must be spontaneous, not arti
ficial. The Red Cross Magazine has
received from Heywood Broun, long
a correspondent with our men at the
front, the following account of those
futile efforts.
When the first division of the A
E. F. set sail for France, it forgot
to pack a name with the rest of the
equipment. The omlalon was! not
discovered until the troop ships wer
three days out. Major General Wil
liam L. Slbert posted the following
notice:
"The English soldier is called
'Tommy,' the French r.oldler is called
'Pollu. We would like suggestions
for a fitting name for the American
soldier."
Suggestions came fast enough, but
they were scattering. Some of the
names, such as "Gringo," evidently
originated along the Mexican border.
Others seemed pure Inventions for
Instance "Red Avengers." "Sammy"
was not mentioned and nly on man
In the whole division took the trouble
to suggest "doughboy." The men
were using his word as a matter of
course and never thought of it as a
nickname.
Nothing on the list of suggestions
appealed to the general or his staff
and they decided .to let the French
name the Americans. The first com
pany had just swing Into step up
one of the main streets of the land
Ing port when an excited Frenchman
cried, "Vive les Teddies!" The French
public seized upon the name eagerly
and It was as "Teddies'" that the
troops were hailed when they
marched In Paris on the Fourth of
July. But before the name was well
established General Pershing told
-some of the newspaper men that he
didn't think it quite suited the need.
He suggested that they think up
something on ihelr own account, and
Henri Bazln of the Philadelphia Pub
lic Ledger asked "How about Sam
mies, from Uncle Sam?"
The general thought that might do,
and the combined press forces of
America undertook to put this name

SMALL IH1UNQ PAST YEAR
In the report Issued by Fire Chief
Roblson for the year Just end&d,
nineteen alarms were answered by
the department during the year 1918.
Of these one was in January, two In
February, one in April, three in July,
three in August, three in September,
one In October, one In November, and
four In December. Eight of the
alarms were for burning flues and
two were for grass fires. The effi
cient manner In which the fire de
partment handles all fires and the
promptness with which they answer
calls has much to do with the small
fire loss of the city.
over to the American people. It oc
curred again and again in almost
every story sent from France to
America; but suddenly the war cor
respondents found that, in spite of
the vast publicity machinery which
they controlled, the word was not
holding up. No matter what the rest
of the world did, the soldiers would
have none of this name. Somehow,
they all felt that It had a curious be
littling sound. There was nothing
virile to Sammy, as there was to Torn
my. One officer explained that ho
didn't like the word because, at the
West Point mess, the slang for mo
lasses was "Sammy." He had been
out of the academy for 12 years, but,
he declared, even yet the word gave
him a sticky feeling!
All the time "doughboy" went on.
The newspaper men were familiar
with this nickname, but it was not
until late in the summer that they
began to realize its availability for
copy. There was the handicap that
"doughboy" applied only to the in
fantrymen, but for a time the name
seemed to have been adopted as ap
plying to all American fighting men.
The next stage in the development
of a real nickname for the American
army Is outlined In this editorial ar
ticle from The Stars and Stripes, un
der the title, "Yanks It Is."
Nicknames are not manufactured.
Where they are, the "nick" doesn't
stick. The world's greatest thinkers
couldn't plaster a nickname on tho
American array that would stick 10
minutes.
For the American army has already
recelvod Its nickname over here that
nothing can shake loose.
It Is "Yanks."
' It wasn't manufactured for tin

thought out by any prearranged men

every one over here took for granted.
Yank no longer means a soldier of
the north. It means a soldier 'from

or west, so long as he wears the

"Sammy" was a joke, and a painful

Finally, on August 14, 1918, the
army's chief of staff, General Feyton
C. March, seml-offlclally sanctioned
"Yanks" and threw "Sammy" into
the discard.
AVAR CASUALTIES IS
RUSSIA AND AUSTRIA
It Is said that, notwithstanding the
fact that Russia ceased to be an ac
tive belligerent about two years be
fore the signing of the armistice, her
war casualties reached- the huge to
tal of 9,150,008 of which number
approximately 1,700,000 were fatal.
Althio Austria was in the very
center of the struggle, during the en
tire war, and was, during much of
the time, fighting on her eastern as
well as her southern and western
fronts, her total casualties up to the
end of May, 1918, are reported as
only about 4,000,000 or less than
half of those of Russia.
SALT MAKES EFFICIENT
CLEANSER. FOR CHIMNEYS
Common salt will remove soot and
tar from the heating surface, flues.
smoke pipes and chimneys of domes
tic heating plants, according to Fuel
Administrator Fred J. Holmes. To
apply, spread two or three handfuls
ct salt on the hottest part of the fire
at a time, when the fuel bed Is bright
or incandescent, then close the door
innd open the drafts. The furnace
will become filled with dense, white
fumes which will penetrate thru the
pipes and clean the sooty surfaces.
An application of salt treatment
occasionally will keep the heating
surfaces In efficient condition. The
chemical action will not be detrimen
tal to the heating plant.
