FRENCH WOMAN IS
SPEAKER AT UNI
CLUB LUNCHEON
Mme. Mary Lantes Is Second
Woman Thus Honored; M. .
- William Sandoz Also
Talks.
Thursday, for the second time in
the history of the Omaha Univer
sity dub, a woman was allowed toj
enter the men s dining room, no
other woman was permitted to at
tend. ,;-::.:..V . , ';
Mme. Mary Lantes and M. William
Sandoz, French war workers, who are
in this- country in the interest of a
fund for i unpensioned soldiers ' of
France, were the principal speakers
at the ' University club luncheon.
Both spoke in French. Dr. F. J.
Despecher acted as interpreter.
Mme. Xante explained that the
French government docs not give a
.pension to her soldiers who suffer
from shell shock and who are not
wounded, even though they may be
pitifully incapacitated. The commit
tee is collecting a fund for these
soldiers, many of whom are utterly
unable to make a living. :
The handsome French woman could
scarcely control her emotion when
she described the horrors of the war
which has bled France white. 'She
knows of the horrors first hand, for
she psssed more than three years just
behind the lines and was often in
shell fire, : The French soldiers lov
ingly named her "Mother lien" be
cause of her kindness to them.
"Oh, they exclude the blessed in
fluence of women," exclaimed Mme.
Lantes, when she was told that she
was to be the only woman at the
luncheon, "what a sad mistake "
The French woman was exquisitely
towned. t '
"Our style is a part of us," she
xplained. '"It is how do you say-
bred in the bone." ' Even war cannot
ake us shabby" V
The engagement at the University
tlub was under the direction. H.
