18 AMERICAN SHIPS COLLIDE; FRASCH LOST OFF COAST Fifty of Crew Go Down in Disaster in Nova Scotia Waters fly Associated Press Washington, Oct. 4.—The Amer ican steamer Herman Frasch, a small cargo carrier, manned by a navy crew and in the overseas sup ply service, has been sunk in colli sion at sea with a loss of probably fifty of her crew. The vessel collided at night with the American tank steamship George G. Henry, about 150 miles southeast of the Nova Scotlan coast and sent down in seven minutes. She carried a crew of about thirteen of ficers and seventy-six mem and sur vivors reported number" only forty one. The collision occurred at sea sev eral hundred miles off the American coast in latitude 41.06 north and longitude 64.38 west. First reports to the department gave few details. The Henry had her bow crushed out after standing by all night to pick up survivors, resumed her voyage. Both vessels were cargo earners in Army supply transport service. The Frasch was a ship of about 4,- 000 tons gross carrying a crew of about ninety officers and men, and the Henry is a tanker. Since only forty-one of the Frasch's crew are accounted by, it is feared there was a heavy loss of life. Our Slang Hideous, Says English Writer London. —English is undergoing a great change as a result of the pres ence of thousands of American sol diers who remain sometimes many weeks before being sent across the Channel and the thousands more who come back here to recuperate from the effects of battle. A correspondent writes to the Daily Chronicle that "a close watch will have to be kept if the purity of the English language is to be pre served. Already the atrocious slang of the British navy and army is in everyday use by the civilians, and at present there is a heavy invasion of American words and phrases—ail hideous. " "Hike," 'rooter' and 'in with both feet' are the sort of thing with which we are threatened; but perhaps these examples—and hundreds of others that could be given—will go the way of 'some' and 'up to,' which had a short and busy life and are now dis credited."
