SEEPOLITICAL RUIN
FACING PADEREWSKI

PARIS. April 2O.-Failure OF Pre-
mier Paderewski to win Danzig for
the Poles may presage his political
downfall according to persons in
close touch with international af-
fairs.
With Padarewskfs return to War
saw, it was predicted a strong er-
fort would be made to force his resig-
nation and stampede Poland into a
semi-alliance with Germany. 1t is
known that Paderewski would not
lend himself to such a scheme, though
it is apparent one man prominently
suggested as his successor is favor
able to the idea.
Persons in position to know say
the pianist's efforts in behalf Of his
country have taken all his money:
that he has nothing left save heavily
mortgaged property in Switzerland,
which, however, he is prepared to
sacrifice if it will accomplish any
thing.
Americas musical idol now pre-
sents a pitiable spectacle. WEAKNESS
is written in deep lines on his face.
and he has a constant attitude of de-
lection. He seems to be just tired
old man.
