Capt. Alexander Sapelli OF the Italian
army. watched the breaking of the strike
with great display of interest ut is
remarkable" he said, how you Ameri-
cans adapt yourself to circumstances"
a similar situation was averted at the

plated by the walters and had prepared

the strikers, who nrn,ber nearly 900 at
the Vanderbilt, be taken back. Both

and cooks who struck were Germans or
other aliens and that their names and
addresses had been sent TO the Depart
ment OF Labor.

There Paderewslli's secretary said his
chief was i'll and would probably be UNI
able to receive the man coming with the
letter. He denied a report that Pader-
ewski had influenza and said he was
simply tired out and had gone to bed to
rest.
The letter finally was received, how
ever, and the secretary authorized its be-
ing given 10 the public. 1t turned out 10
be merely an intimation that the real
reply was coming later. 1T follows:
MY. DEAR Mr.. PADEREwsKI beg
10 acknowledge the receipt OF your
letter l wished TO answer II at once,
or to see you to-day, but all my time
has been so taken up with important
official matters that could not be post
poned that l could not give the matter
contained in your letter the careful
consideration a matter Of such i'm
portance requires. II Is therefore with
sincere regret that l must postpone
my answer until after my return to
Washington. for when l am leaving
this afternoon. In the meantime
wish TO express TO you my thanks for
your kind expression of personal
friendship contained in your letter:
you know that the sentiments you
there express toward me voice my
friendly feelings and regards toward
YOU Believe me. my dear Mr.. Pa
derewskl. most sincerely yours.

Two views are taken OF Paderewsli's
withdrawal. one of them being that 1t is
little more than the temperamental re-
action OF a great musician whose high
patriotism has outrun his diplomacy.

.MENOHER, AIR CHIEF
HAS GREAT RECORD

The selection of Maj. Gen. Charles
7. Menoher as director Of the air
service to fill the vacancy caused by
the resignation of John D. Ryan. an
nouhced by General March, CHIEF OF
STAFF, is the subject of much comment
and speculation among military men
here.
Many wise military men see in this
move the inclusion of the air service
in the regular military establishment
and II is regarded as highly probable
that General Menoher will be assign
ed to the General Staff to effect this
coordination. These men also see
see that the forthcoming plans OF the
General STAFF for recognising the
army upon a peace basis will do away
entirely with the old bureaucratic
system and centralize the direction OF
army policies in the stan itself. In
this event IL Is regarded al entirely
profile that General Menoher will
be appointed assistant chief OF stan
at the request of General March.
General Menoher is admirably fitted
for such a position, having had wide
experience and being temperamental-
~ suited to the job. Though little
known outside OF the regular army,
where his permanent rank Is that OF
colonel of field artillery, General
Menoher has had a remarkable rec
