I met a young American major just
back from the French front. 1 had
known him for many years. Before
the United States entered the war he
was one of the many impatient at our
delay. He believed that it was our

In every mind was the thought and
from every tongue fell the word. Rus-
sia had given the world a word. It
had encircled the globe. Everywhere
people were speaking the word-—it
found lodgment in every brain, a liv-
ing place in every language. Its use
had become universal. The old, the
young, rich and poor, the learned, the
uneducated, the serious, the simple,
the toiler, the artist, the poet, and the
peddier, the tinker and the thinker,
held the thought and spoke the word.
Men, women and children spoke the
word, read the word, and felt the
thought it carried.
To the nine hundred and ninety-nine
it was a word of ill.omen, a word of
terror and fear. To the one in a thou
