PAUL PERiGORD,
HERO OF MARNE,
STOPS IN OMAHA
: French Lieutenant Sees Vic
; tory for Allies as Germany's
Big Offensive Fails on
Western Front. t
"There is no question but that the
allies will win the war," declared Lieu
tenant Paul Perigord, of the Frencn
- military mission in Washington, at
the Hotel Fontenelle Monday morn
, ing. "As to when the war will end
well, it will end when we win it," he
.added, with a shrug of his shoulders,
v "We soldiers have always been
optimistic. .In fact, I think we are
more optimistic than the people who
are not fighting. We have seen the
' Germans at the zenith of their power,
when their men were at their best,
when their equipment was at its best,
and we' were unprepared. But we de
feated, them at the Marne, Verdun,
-,'Vimy Ridge, Champagne? and in -all
the other great battles. And we will
ultimately put them where they be
long, and some people say that is a
rather warm place."
Wears French War Cross.
- Lieutenant Perigord was "fighting
in' the first line trenches during the
first three years of the war almost
continuously with the exception of
the time spent in the hospital. He
wears the French cross of war with
five stars attached to the-; ribbon,
indicating-five additional citations for
bravery. He also wears a medal in-
dioating he was wounded in service.
,. "The cross of war," Perigord said,
"indicates what I did to the Germans,
and the other what the Germans did
'"'-i me."
"Just because a' man is buying a
large tract of land is no indication
that that man is getting rich," he
said, "and I believe that that is just I
what is happening to the Germans.
They are gaining land, but the price
Indian Lad Weeps, When
He is Rejected for Army
William Smith' -Indian, from Genoa
Indian school, was heart-broken Sat
urday night when doctors at Jhe army
recruiting building rejected him for
the second time because of defective
eyesight . ' , ?
Smith came to Omaha witfi 10 of his
Indian schoolmates to enlist two
weeks ago. He was rejected because
of a growth on his righ eye. His
companions went on to war and he
returned to Genoa, where he consulted
an occulist who fitted him out with
a pair of glasses and Smith hope
fully hurried again to Omaha.
He wept when he was rejected. ,
they are paying fo. it is too great.
Tf.ey cannot win anyway, and if there
was a possibility of it the price they
lid in the last great offensive would
be almost prohibitive of success.
Last Drive No Success.
"This last drive canr.ot even be
termed a success, much less a victory.
The Germans were basing this last
drive on the hope that America could
not put sufficient troops in the field
to count within the required time. But
they were wrong. The Americans are
coming, and coming fast, and when
they get there it is impossible to stop
them. J -
"During one engagement a French
general said to the American com
mander, 'Hold you men back, hold
them back.' 'Hell, you can't hold them
marider, 'Hold your men back, hold
them back." 'Hell, you can't hold them
back, they're from Nebraska," re
sponded the American officer. -
"The Americans are wonderful,
wonderful and they have great times
with the Frenchmen. They were sta
tioned alongside each other in the
trenches during the periods of train
ing and, of course, could not talk ex
cept with gestures, but they got
along pretty well with signs."
Lieutenant Perigord has been sta
tioned at Camp Devens, near Boston,
instructing the American soldiers in
the use of machine guns and rifles, and
has been detailed to speak at the var.
ious war conferences during the
month of May. He was inV)maha for
but a short time Monday and left for
Denver, where he will speak before
a war confereace of the Rocky moun
tain and Pacific states.
