ENDOWS CHAIR ID
 DEVOTE STUDY ID
 AMERICAN HISTORY
Sir W. George Watson Thinks British Should Devote More Atten-
 ton to Subject
By CLAIR PRICE

London. Deeembe 31.-(Special.)-In re- sponse to the appeal of the Angio-Amer- ican society, Sir w. George Watson. Bt, has given S100,000 to endow a chair in American history, literature and insti- tutions as a stimulus to such studies in all British universities. Until six months ago, no such chair existed in any school here. At that time, Kings college in London made beginning toward the study of Americanism, which the new foundation is expected to place on a wider and more permanent basis.
 It was Sir Georges intention to name the chair after the Prince of Wales, in honor of his recent reception in the United States. At the princess spgges- tion, however. it is to be named after the donor. Sir George Watson is a wealthy dairyman and heavily interested tn the West African nut-oi trade.
 The foundation of the chair formed the principal educational proposal of the Anglo-American society, which has both an American and British membership. The society's work is the organization of the tercentenary celebration next year of the sailing of the Mayflower. It is the successor Of the British American peace centenary committee, whose work was interrupted by the war.
 The societys appeal proposed the con- Ffftions under which the Sir George Wat son chair is to be administered
 Tt is not proposed that the chair should be exclusively attached to one university" H. S. Ferris, the society S secretary told me, but it is to be used for the general purpose of stimulating in- terest in America and the study of Amer fcan institutions in all the British uni tversities.
 'sNeither wifi the foundation be used acermanently by one scholar of a single

Chateau-Thierry

American troops were going toward Chateau Thier-y--to meet the Germans Five rattered French divisions were com ing from Chateau Thierry-having met the Germans. Everything was being car ried our according to plans. But Yank officers and doughboys did not know this. either did battle-wearied French officers and poilus. They met, in the fields and on the roads northwest of Chateau Thierry. According to stories afterwards circulated among American troops in France the French defenders of Chateau Thierry seemed blessed with the single idea of beating the Germans into Paris.
 The Home Sector. the ex-soldiers maga- zine conducted by the former editorial council of the Stars and Stripes. in speak, ing of the maneuver, says:
 What happened was this. As the Amer jeans approached the battle, unedr com mand of General Degoutte, a French corps commanler, the oncoming Germans, were Icing opposed by two depleted of disorderly and disheartening retreat They were about all in. but they were ordered to hold their ground until the Americans could get into position behind them Then they were to fall back through the Americans and withdraw for much needed rest and rehabilitation.
 All that happened thereafter was ac- cordine to order The withdrawal of the exhausted Preach troops through the lines of the exuberant Americans was sue cesssully accomplished, and was no re- flection whatever on their spirit. In nold- ing out as long T s they had against over whelmingly superior numbers. they had done their share.''
