Some time ago, when a heated argu
mont wan going on between v'ariouis
pronunclation fledglinga-over the pro
per pronunciation of the simple word
cantonment, we undertook and (lid give
a very exhaustive analysia of the word,
Its derivation, meaning, pronouncia
tion, etc. Unhappily, our treatment
of the subject was of such a high or
der that It went clean over the heads
of the wranglers, among whom were
some hIgh lights In the pronuncia
tion profession. Anyway, our of
forts -avallethed little, for', while
the 'heat of argument hias dIed
down, the mis-pronunelation still goes
on. But, as we wvero going on to say,
we took a flyer at cantonment antd now
are ready to hand oult a lIttle do01) on
another woigd, "Blolshevliki", which
maybe is giving these gentlemten about
as much concern as It did( us until we
*tnrted out again to hunt an authori
ty. In our exhaustive study of can
tonment, already referred to, we went
to headquarters, so-to-speak, viz., that
valiant old gentleman speller and pro
nunclator of English words, old mal
Noah Webster. Now, as keen a judge
of English words as your Uncle Noah
was. he didn't claim any great dis
Ilijetion as a purveyor of Russian, or
at least lie didn't write any Russian
ti< tionaries so far as we know. So,
with dlr. Webster out of the running
ini this word hunt, we struck out foi
another authority, one who has been
on the grounds and ought to know, MIr.

AN WHO STEERED IMO
HELD AS A SPY
1urse Who Was Caring for Norwegian
at Hospital Reported Actions as
Queer. Many Wild Rumors Afloat in
Halifax.
'ilalifax, Dec. 13.-+John Johansen,
bel'msman on the Norwegian steamer
[mo, the Belgian i'elief ship, whose col
Iis1on with the ammunition steaner
Mont Blanc led to the disatser of last
Thursday, was detained as a German
spy suspect. today. le was turned
aver to the military authorities by of
lietals of'the Massachusetts relief lios
pital, where he has been under treat
ment.
One of the nurses at the hospital, a
young woman from New York, whose
name was not revealed, yesterday no
titied that her patient was acting
Iucerly and the collisionl Was reach..
c(d that he was shamming illncs.. La
ter, it was said, .lohns 1 offered a
nur se $50 if she would go out and buy
him a newspiaper, the assumption be
ing that he had in mind an attempt to
'sealie in her absence. After that in
cident ai military guard was placed
on ditty by his bed, the provost guard
was sent for today and .Iohansen was
locked up.
In conlnection with the arrest, the
wildest spy rumors heard, here since
the war began were spread broadcast.
These culminated in a report that eighi
Gernans had been shot at sunrise. M il
itary and naval authorities, while ac
knowledgina that the .Johansen case
wats being thoroughly investigated. de
elared that the shooting story was
absutrd.
another persistent. story was that
a muessage in Germ1iani code has been
found on Johnsen and that a wireless
statiin had h'0een unearthed in the dis
trict destroyed by the lire after the
explosion. .1. C. flurchell, counsel for
the Imto in the admiralty hearing on
the collision of the vessel, said to
light that the secret code story as far
