SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE, Nov. 28,
A new word has been put into the #ng- |
lish language. It is "‘mug’’ (verb tran-|
sitive). When an American has lwvni
kissed by a Frenchman now he says he
has been “mugged.” It is the first |
American colioquialism of the war. ’l‘rw}
English have “over the top'” and a duz-!
en other words and phrases,
As the Frenchman who plants a kiss
on the checks of the private I 8 usually
of the hirsute variety, he is ta'-lln)ly‘

The only embarrassment to these ex
curslons is the amazing f{rankness with !
which the French ask questions, i
“Apres la guerre?’ they ask. *““Will
you marry here?”’ |
This is a burning question just now,
~and the girls, or many of them never
miss an opportunity to signify they
‘have *“no flance.” .
| _Restrictions on Nurses. |
' The French girls are the only ones!
left for the association of the American
now. Where I am stationed there are
100 nurses. Also there is Indignation,
Business is slack in the nursing line
now and the young ladies have some
idle time on their hands. Once they
were accustomed to see the surround
ing country with a soldier as escort.
Then came an order that they should
not associate with enlisted men. So it
devolved upon the officers, And now
comes an order from headquarters that
they shall no more be scen outside any
mm‘:ary post with any soldier of any
rank.
~ But this means nothing to me. What
are nurses in my young life when a
}hundrf-d pairs of black eyes are twin
kling wherever I go? This twinkling
has made me happy to be a private, For
an officer is out of luck.
Luck All With Privates.
An enlisted man may go down the
street, smile at every {»alr of that hun

with one or a dozen, laugh giggle. ac
cept a cookle, conjugate verbs or hold
hands. He can ‘'‘be seen'’ most any
place—investigate every quaint corner
and every unusual wine shop. But an
officer can not. 7ae regulations thai
he be always a gentleman imply that
he must also Pe proper. He must not
return a smiie to admiring g'ances.
If a de:nolselle says “Bon Solr" from

There is only one instance of where
an American advertised. And then he
didn’'t do it. His friends did it for a

next two weeks that the regimental
postoffice couldn't handle it.
A Personal
Word to Our Readers
The Georgian and American do not print doubtful
financial announcements to fleece our readers and our
community of thousands of dollars annually; question
able medical and obscene advertisements to offend the
refinement of your home; fortune teller, spiritualistic, mat
rimonial and clairvoyant announcements which lure the
gullible, and similar advertisements for which we could
secure, literally, thousands of dollars each year if we were
willing to place the dollar mark above your respect and
confidence, and higher than our duty to our community.
Neither will you find sordid stories featured in a sala
cious manner in The Daily Georgian and Sunday Amer
ican. These “newspapers of the Home" print all the news
that's fit to print and emphasize all that is clean, bright and
wholesome in their news columns. Both the news and
the advertising columns of “The South's Greatest News
papers”’ endeavor to reflect The Georgian's standard—
“A clean, wholesome newspaper for Southern Homes,"
and emphasize the principles for which we are constantly
striving— T ruth, Justice, Public Service.
