Early lifeJuozas Gabrys was born on February 22, 1880 in the town of Garliava, near the city of Kaunas, Lithuania.{{sfn|Tucker|Roberts|2005|p=457}} He went to the Garliava primary school starting at the age of seven. He graduated with a law degree from the University of Odessa in 1907. BiographyGabrys was a secretary of the Great Seimas of Vilnius during the 1905 Russian Revolution.{{sfn|Tucker|Roberts|2005|p=457}} He went into exile in 1907 to Paris.{{sfn|Tucker|Roberts|2005|p=457}} There, in 1911, he founded the Lithuanian Information Bureau.{{sfn|Tucker|Roberts|2005|p=457}} In 1912, he founded the Union des Nationalités.{{sfn|Tucker|Roberts|2005|p=457}} These two organizations supplied European powers with information on Lithuania and other exploited European countries that crusaded for human rights and freedom.{{sfn|Tucker|Roberts|2005|p=457}} In 1915, Gabrys moved from Paris to Lausanne, Switzerland.{{sfn|Tucker|Roberts|2005|p=457}} He started a campaign of political activities and held the first Lithuanian conferences during World War I to obtain freedom for Lithuania.{{sfn|Senn|1980|p=53}} His campaigns were financed by Lithuanian immigrants of the United States and the German Foreign Ministry.{{sfn|Tucker|Roberts|2005|p=457}} He published articles in more than fifty European newspapers for his campaigns, sometimes bribing editors to get them through.{{sfn|Tucker|Roberts|2005|p=457}} His greatest success in organization was the Congress of Nationalities held in Switzerland in 1916 with 400 representatives from 23 nationalities.{{sfn|Tucker|Roberts|2005|p=457}} According to Alfred E. Senn, "Gabrys was undoubtedly the best known Lithuanian political figure on the European scene before 1916."[1] During the time period of World War I, Gabrys hoped to secure independence for Lithuania.{{sfn|Smele|2006|p=460}} He communicated the cruel treatment the Lithuanians were receiving from the German military when they were occupying Lithuania to the French authorities.{{sfn|Tucker|Roberts|2005|p=457}} He also called upon the Allies of World War I for assisting against German occupation.{{sfn|Tucker|Roberts|2005|p=457}} Gabrys involved the Vatican in a worldwide collection of millions of Swiss francs for Lithuanian victims of war, which ultimately ended up in his personal bank accounts.{{sfn|Tucker|Roberts|2005|p=457}} He labelled himself "Count of Garlawa" in his memoirs.{{sfn|Smele|2006|p=460}} When the new Lithuanian government started at the end of 1918, Gabrys was not a political participant because of his disagreements with the government officials.{{sfn|Tucker|Roberts|2005|p=457}} Because of his German government contacts during World War I, he ultimately "became virtually an unperson" in Lithuanian history despite his efforts to liberate the country.{{sfn|Smele|2006|p=460}} Later lifeIn 1919, with the help of the French, Gabrys unsuccessfully attempted to get a Lithuanian government position. From that point on, he dabbled in Lithuanian politics until he retired. In retirement, he became a gentleman-farmer in Switzerland. Gabrys died on 26 July 1951 at Corsier-sur-Vevey in Switzerland.{{sfn|Tucker|Roberts|2005|p=457}} WorksGabrys is the only leading Lithuanian liberation political advocate during World War I to write his memoirs in a Western language.{{sfn|Smele|2006|p=460}} His works include:
