FRENCH INSTITUTE
AMERICAN COURSE
(By Associated P-ess)

PARIS, Oct. 25. Correspondence
of the Associated Press)-A course in
American literature and civilization
has just been instituted at the Sorbon-
ne (the university of Paris) by the
French minister Of public instruction.
It's purpose is to promote in the sphere
of intellectual interests the same close
and cordial relations between France
and the United States that are now
binding the two republics on other
fields. 1t is hoped to transform this
course into regular professorship
and equip it with funds for library
as well as to institute research travels
in America.
Professor Charles Cestre, head of
the English department at Bordeaux,
has been appointed director of the
course. Prof Cestre, when still a
student at the Sorbonne, was the first
French student to go to America, to
take advantage of the English depart
ment in great university. He grad
uated from Harvard in 1897 and be-
came an instructor there in 1898. He
has written many books and maya
zine articles, and has lectured much in
France on American universities and
institutions. He was an exchange pro-
lessor at Harvard in 1918, and af-
forwards travelled through the states
as official lecturer of L'Alliance Fran
caise.

"A strong army under the all-Rus-
sian government is completing its
training at Omsk, but there Is urgent

There Is no room in Siberia for q

Bolsheviki"
The Ufa government has been re-
moved to Omsk and the authority of

King Albert and French
Premier Sho,u Bravery
IN Face of Shell Fire
Rv Associated Press,

CIV Associated Press.l
LONDON, Oct. 25.-King Albert OF
Belgium and Premier Clemenceau OF
France were apparently SO Indifferent
to shell fire to which they were ex-
posed while the premier was visiting
the Belgian front recently as to arouse
the admiration of the Belgian soldiers.
One of them describes the incident
thus:
"The scene is laid among the ruins
of a part of the Belgian front daily
shattered by shells, bombs or aerial
torpedoes In the street parallel to
the church a little group of persons
are walking. A tall khaki figure seems
to be guiding civilian and some
French officers. 1t is Belgian gen.
eral wandering leisurely up and down
answering questions and giving ex-
plantations to his guests From our
dug-out we soldiers watch with curlos-
ity. Suddenly whistle, an explosion
and burst of smoke but thirty yards
from the visitors. Not one of them
took any notice! Another. 1t falls
quite near. The Belgian general, the
civilian and their suite have not turn
ed their heads, merely continue their
walk as slowly as before. While the
fire continues, the visitors are getting
nearer our dug-out and we stand at
attention.
"The Belgian general is King Albert,
the civilian NJ. Clemenceau.

Portable, but it is better than being

shells.

eleven months today and four of those
in France, and so far feel none the

for the fifth time, and don't mind it
any more than getting into subway
jam in New York City.
Last night our battalion was reliev-
ed and we are now back from the
lines resting up. While we were there
we sure made things hot for the Huns.
Although the boys are very tired and
glad to rest they feel very happy over
the results of the battle. No doubt
the papers will publish the part our
division played. To begin with was

one of the gun sergeants a short dis

church bell in the village strike one
o'clock. All of sudden l felt as il
the world had come to an end. What
was really a very quiet night was
turned into regular hell. 1t is i'm
possible for me to describe, but thous-
ands of great guns opened up and the
entire world seemed to be on fire.
The screech of shells makes ones
blood run cold. While we knew that
drive was close at hand we did not
know the exact date until few hours
before The barrage continued all night
A runner delivered a note to the cap
tain and in less than five minutes
we went over the top. Half an hour
later we were in our new position on
the outskirts of a certain farm, and
our guns placed in two great shell
holes. 1t had been raining since early
Thursday morning and was still rain

The boys were covered with mud but
were glad to get crack at the Huns.
Now it was about six o'clock Friday
morning and very light To our right
we could see our infantry going over
the hills in perfect rows or waves,
very pretty sight; shells were bursting
everywhere and great fires could be
seen all along the German lines. The
roar was deafening. Airplanes were
backing the sky directing artillery
fire and dropping bombs on the Huns.
Everything ran as by clockwork. On
the roads our engineers were at work,

down it was cleared away, and holes
in the road repaired, SO to keep the
