GONE WEST.” Not the least significant of the war words are those by which the soldier refers to death. At ail times we shrink from the actual word death, and ever since man first began to clothe his language in poetry he has sought to take the sting, as it were, out of this word. We speak of “ across the border,” “ the great unknown,” “laid to rest,” “departing in peace.” Shakespeare lias put it, “ After life’s fretful fever, he sleeps well,” and the Greeks and the Romans did it before us. Rut the soldier has evolved his own expressions. “So and so stopped one” (presumably a bullet), “ went out to it,” “ took the count ” (expressions from the boxing arena), “got it in the neck ” (where the severing of the jugular vein is fatal), “ passed in his checks ” (au Americanism), but none of these equals in simplicity or poetry the quiet words, “ gone west.” The war has meant the untimely cutting off of many in tlieir prime, and as the sun, its daily journey o’er, sinks in a blaze of glory, in the western sky, so these young lives, glorious in their death, have gone west.
