dumped on the deck Of the Racer. The

The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1919-05-14

Paris, May 14.-Paris has never had a more picturesque visitor, nor one who has stirred the public in- agination, than Paderewski, the great Polish pianist. now the Polish Pre- mier.
 It is not easy to catch him for few minutes, since Madame Paderew- ski, keeps a vigilant watch upon him, breeding over him like a tender mother, endeavoring to preserve him from the stream of callers. She is kindly and gracious, but she Is firm. Her one regard Is the health of her husband, and she Is afraid that his strength will be overtaXed.
 Nevertheless when one does get through the crowd of photographers, of woUld-be intervieEers, of patient groups hoping to get a glimpse of the arttst-statesman, to exchange a few words with the man whose patriotism has trimumphed over his vIrtuosity, one is struck by his amiability, his , intense desire to talk of the needs and { aspirations of his country.

COMBINED
 HELP DRIVE
 OPENS SUNDAY

PreparatonsEfor the opening of the Combined Help Drive on Sunday afternoon at Pones theatre have prac- ticalIy been completed by the execu- tive committee ofswhich Fdmunde s. Wolfe is chairman. pr. TaIcott Will Hams, recently returned from tour of the Near East. <will be one of the, speakers, Captain Robert Olley, a Salvation Army man- in Europe for the entire period of the war and taking an active part in many engage ments, will speak for the Salvation Army. while Julious Rosenwald and Nathan SJvaus will speak for the Jew ish relief.
 Compensation Commissioner Ed ward T. Buckingham will preside at the meeting and every member of the executive committee, will be present. The theatre management has donated the services of the moving picture op- erating force and the most recently released official war pictures will be shown. This picture was actually taken by American aviators in France and>is being shown for the first time in any city in Bridgeport on Sunday.
 No collection of any description will be taken up at the meeting on Sunday. the purpose of it being mere ly to show the good faith of the mem ners of the executive committee in the coming drive The drive will open up following a meeting at The Strat- field on Monday night with both divis- ions. Division 1, headed by General Albert E. Lavery, and his aide, E. F.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1919-05-14

vrn Weetberg, and Division 2, head ed by Attorney Charles H. Shapiro, ;-sssted by his aide, Leonard Asheim.
 General Lavery's division is made up entirely of overseas men. Twelve commissioned officers, all of whom were actively engaged in France. commanding 12O enlisted men. Both the officers and the men will wear their uniforms during the drive and will give their time to boosting the Combined Help campaign.
 General Shapiro's aggregation will be made up entirely of civilians and despite the fact that the latter gen. eral agrees that the general of the first division has something of a handicap on him. he has promised the executive committee that the re- suits of his work will not be far be- hind those of General Lavery.
 The drive will continue for six days and every effort will be made to reach the majority of the people of Bridge port. The women's committee under Mrs. H. Willard Fleck and Mrs Will liam T. Hincks is preparing for their part of the work and volunteers for this portion of the work should call on Mrs. Fleck on Monday afternoon, next, at Room Al at The Stratfield.
 Practically every civic organization in the city has offered to lend it's as sistance to the drive and the theatre managers are vieing with each other in their efforts to show results. Offers of assistance have been received from the theatre managers and it is likely that, this the last opportunity for any thing resembling war relief work in Bridgeport will be well cared for.
 The work of the overseas men of General Lavery's division will be closely linked with that of the Salva- ton Army lassies. The men will can cass the city with the lassies and they agree that nobody will get by without helping the organization which ac- complished such valiant work in France. Real Salvation Army dough- nuts and hot coffee will once again be furnished to the Combined Help Drive workers just in memory of old times.
 The doors of the Poli theatre will be opened at 2 o'clock on Sunday afternoon, everybody is welcome, the committee states, and it is expected that the house will be filled to ca pacity..

 ''The question of Dantzig has been regulated at Spa by Marshal F'och, but interpretation given by the Ger man propaganda to these negotiations must cause some anguish and agita- ton in my country.

As for Dantzig. which is essential as a port for Poland if Poland is to live, this Is what Paderewski said:

As I stood before him I was curious to observe if he had still preserved the long locks tumbIing over his eyes and upon his shoulders, which dis tinguished him at the piano. Certainly he still possesses a magnificent mane- 1 must employ the word since his head is leonine-but the hair has been cut shorter, and though stiff fin artistic profusion 1t has turned from raven to silver.
 In strong contrast to his crown of snow are his smooth pink cheeks. Genius looks out of his face It is not the tormented genius of a BerlIoz or a Chopin. This tall old man has an appearance of indefnable sweetness. He is gentle in this regard, and speaks with a lingering softness.
 But hebind' this almost feminine exterior you feel the burning passion of the patriot when he talks of his country:
 My poor country which was torn in pieces and given 70 three alien nations is at last to be re- stored. She is to be one. She is to be a nation which shall count in the counsels of the world.
 For what the Allies and Am erica have done we are truly grateful. We are by far the largest of the States whictS1lave come into being or have been re- stored and by our geographical position we are destined to be of the greatest importance in the New Europe. Our martyred race. with its long history of persecu- tion, is to be me Key State of the reconstructed continent"
 "A nation which has endured
 for a century and more all sys- tems of oppression, whether they
 called themselves Tsarism, Prus- sianism, or Bolshevism, and has yet survived, must emerge vic- torious. Poland is now fully recognized and in a few days will be finally established on it's yer. itable base. But thGEe are still many suferings which she will have to endure unless the Allies give her instantly much more aid in the shape of foodstuffs of mili- tary material, than they have done hitherto.'
