M. Fnbourg, Blinded
in First Battle Of War,
Says Part Was Nothing

NJ. Fribourg, author, scholar and
warrior, wounded and blinded in the
first battle of the Marine, addressed
the French Alliance of Omaha at the
Blackstone hotel Thursday evening.
His subject was THE French-Amer-
lean Alliance" He spoke in French.
1.-Two million Frenchmen lie dead
and 100000 are wounded My part
is so small, il is nothing, nothing"
the speaker said.
''The war taught me a great phil
osophy. To arrive one must have
belief. We were victorious because
we knew we would be victors."
He stated that the French and
Americans are now connected by
unbreakable bonds. Common sacri-
flee and sorrow has welded the two
mighty nations together and nothing
can ever separate them, according
to NJ Fribourg.
Monsieur Fribourg has been for
many years one of the most promi-
nent literary men in France. At the
age of rs he had already written
many brilliant essays and analytical
studies of French history and colo
NAL expansion.
