FRENCH CERCLE HEARS EDITOR OF LE MARTIN Stephen Lauzanne Delivers Lecture on World War The Cercle Francais of the University welcomed Stephane Lauzanne last Friday evening at the initial meeting of the season. In introducing the speaker, Professor Keith relat ed how the club had come into touch with Monsieur Lauzanne. Last winter a notice had ap peared in a French paper con cerning an illustrated lecture delivered by M. Lauzanne in New York. Prof. Keith wrote M. Lauzanne requesting the loan of the slides used in his lecture, if he wished to con tribute to the success of a dis tant French club. Monsieur Lauzanne responded that he would do so and even stated that he might come in person. Arrangements were made for his appearance, but the arrival of Marshal Joffre upset the plans, since M. Lauzane was at tached to the great marshal's staff in America. This fall M. Lauzanne was again free and was able to include Columbia in a long tour thru the South. The speaker was as eloquent and as convincing in French as he had been in English that morning at the university chap el exercises, when he was ap plauded frequently and enthu siastically. The story of France and her noble and determined struggled moved the several hundred guests of the universi ty who filled the lower floor and galleries. Incidents of the war witnessed by the speaker, who served as an officer at the Marne and at Verdun, were re lated in his inimitable manner. Statistics were used to show that France was far from be ing "bled white." The ques tion of Alsace-Lorraine lies near to the heart of France and the righteousness of the French claims were coently asserted. Four reels of intensly inter esting moving films showed the French artillery in action, the towns of France devastated by the Germans when they per formed their "strategic re treat," and scenes in the re gion of "no man's land." The concluding film presented Gen eral Pershing's arrival in France which was attended, said the speaker, by a demon stration never before equalled. Monseiur Lauzanne won the hearts of all in his visit to Co lumbia. Rarely does a speaker so dleeply arouse his auditors or thoroly convince them. TWO MORE PROFESSORS TO ASSUME WAR WORK Morse and McCutchen Grant ed Leave for Duration of War The faculty of the Universi ty of South Carolina is soon to lose two more of its members, when Professor George Mc Cutchen, of the department of economics will answer the call of the federal government, and Dr. Josiah Morse, professor of philosophy and sociology, will leave his chair to serve with the American Red Cross. Profesor McCutchen has been assigned the work of supervi sion of meat inspection in sev eral states. This demand on his services is the result of the valuable aid rendered by Professor McCut chen at the last regular session of congress, as an investiga tion for the House Agricultur al Committee. Dr. Morse, who has been giving much of his time to the Red Cross for a number of months, is to become director of this work in South Carolina, and field director of the work at Camp Jackson. His experience as socialist and educator peculiarly fits Dr. Morse to successfully car ry on the task of putting the work in this State on a firm basis. During his absence, which wil be for the duration of the war, Dr. Morse's class room du ties will be assumed by Dr. Lewis P. Chamberlavne, of the department of ancient lan guages, President Thornton Whaling of the Columbia Pres byterian Seminary, and Dr. R. L. Leake, of the State Hospital for the Insane. During Pro fessor McCutchen's period of absence his class room work will be carried on by Professor H.E. Dennison of the economics department, Professor J. P. Thomas, Jr., of the law depart ment, and Professor E. D. East erling of the mathematics de partment. NOTED FRENCH EDITOR SPEAKS AT UNIVERSITY two-thirds." In a very effective and appeal ing conclusion M. Lauzanne told of a picture, "The Sailing of Victory"-a ship bearing Lafay-1 ette and his men to aid the strug gling American colonies. He told of how he hoped to see an other picture someday -the huge well guarded, steel transports bearing the American legions to the aid of France -"The Return of Victory."
