Attempt to Assassinate
 Paderewski Deplored

ID ADEREWSKI, now recognized in U Poland as a leader of leaders in the movement to rid the country of bolshevism, is as gentle and large hearted as he is astute and politically lresourceful.
 But the anarchist is ever heartless. All the revolutionary acts of the boi- sheviki are despicable, but when they 1 fired upon children parading in honor of Paderewski and killed two of the innocent little ones, and later, when an attempt was made on the life of the patriot who seeks only the good of his people, their acts were doubly atrocious and universally deplored. Paderewski will always be in dan ger of the assassin's bullet as long as bolshevism is rampant, but he is fearless, as all patriotic leaders must 1 be, and he will continue to bend every energy in forming a stable govern ment and endeavoring to tranquilize his unhappy land.
 The sympathies of the entire world go out to this great Polish statesman. All but anarchists will wish him God speed in his noble undertaking. And the worlds prayer should be that his life may be spared to carry out his humane and patriotic design # x *
