war memorials that glittered with
painted carving in 1919 are 20 be
burned in accordance with military
regulation by various posts Of the
American Legion. according 10 re-
ports received at Legion national
headquarters.

early days Of the armistiee. and bore
on wooden pencils the names Of the
local dead Of the service. OF late

memorials. The Legionnaires. re-
membering Army regulations which
provide that old American flags, too
shabby for display, are burned. 90
that the torn pieces may never be
scattered or soiled, intend to apply
the principle to the destruction Of the
old "honor rolls" to prevent their
abuse by souvenir hunters.

ANNIE MAC SWINEY
 KEEPS PRISON VIGIL
 IN RAIN DOWNPOUR

Dublin, Nov. 21-In a downpour of rain which drenched her to the skin Annie MacSwiney today entered into the fifth day of her hunger strike at the gates of Mt. Joy prison in pro test against the arrest of her sister, Mary.
 Inside the prison, Mary MacSwiney, weak from IT days of self imposed starvation, tossed upon a hospital cot.
 A little group of women remained with Annie MacSwiney during the night, bathing her hands and face with hot water and praying at her side.
 Groups of strangers gathered at times to look upon this strange and pathetic scene. Some wept as they saw the haggard woman hunger strik- CT totter from her chair or fling her self down upon her muddied mattress for brief respite from her vigil
 A sixteen year old girl was killed while attending a meeting of protest against the continued detention of Mary MacSwiney. Public bodies are demanding an inquiry claiming that Free State troops fired upon the meeting without any provocation.
 A number of women in other parts of Ireland, moved by sympathy or loyalty to the Republican cause, have ap3eaI led to the Free State govern nIent for the release of Mary Mac Swiuey.
 So far the government has shown policy towards the Republicans

HOW PADEREWSkI HELPED HOOVER
 THROUGH COLLEGE
Interesting Story of Fam ous Pianist Who Will Play At Palace Theatre Next Sunday.

Az the echoes from the joyous an. nouncement made yesterday that Pa derewskt would include Bridgeport in into A the | focal 1 ste,nsrt @ offices p in the the form of requests for reservations for the. .Paderew'ski recital at Polls New Palace theatre, next Sunday after noon, Nov. 2s. someone remarked to Rudolph Stetnert, It looks as if the success Of next Sundays concert would edd new laurels to your record as an tnpresario." Smiling broadly as he viewed the diminishing pile of tickets, MT. Steinert replied: There's no distinction in making a success of Paderewslxi recital even when you have four thousand seats to fill. In fact, international fame came to the only man I know of who made a failure of managing Paderewski re- cital."
 curious %ide1isht on the remarkable hold which Paderewski had on the statesmen of Europe and America in his five year battle for a stable cunious student at Leland Stanford University in California helped pay his way through college by bringing famous artists to the college town wns Paderewski. On the afternoon of the concert there wasn't enough money in the box office to pay the artist to say nothing of local ex- PenecS 1ue yOOnS SIuucltI III ISdI and trembling asked the great artist if ae would give half his, program and take all the money. Pa(lerewski tact fully learned the purpose for which the concert was promoted the amount of money on hand and the total local expenses. Smilingly he told the young student to pay all his local ex- penses, deduct a hundred dollars for profit and give him the rest Pade- rewski gave his entire program and was generous with encores. One critic of note who was present said that the great artist outdid himself win only a fraction Of his customary fee awaiting him at the box office.
 Perhaps the great artist saw greater return than mere dollars in the investment he had made in the young students education by his gen erous waiver Of his legal rights. At any rate the whole civilized world had an opportunity to judge whether the education of the young student was worth while, for the student was Herbert Hoover. now secretary of the interior in President Harding's cab inet. It was Hoover himself who first told the story, and it was largely Hoover's anxiety to repay Paderew- ski for his generosity that inspired Hoover to start the wonderful Chil- dren's Relief work in Poland at Pa derewskPs suggestion.

NATION AWAITS
 CLEMENCEAUPS
 FIRST ADDRESS

New York, Nov. 21-Georges Clemenceau. Frances war time premier, will deliver his first address to the American people tonight. He will talk eNuemporaneously, although he has spent much of his time since arriving in the United States gather ing material for use in the speech.
 ClemenCeau was exhausted lass night when he retired after a strenuous day. which began at G. m and ended shortly before p. m. He leaned heavily on the rail as he climbed the stairway to his third noor apartment in the home of Charles Dana Gibson and he did not join the Gibsons at dinner but had a light meal sent to his room
 Arising early today he seemed re- freshed and eager for the coming of evening and the first of the messages he crossed the Atlantic to give to America. Friends have warned him to speak no longer than an hour, but he has given no indication that he in tends to follow this injunction. Yes terday it was planned that he should talk only fifteen minutes at the gath ering of New York editors and pub fishers He talked for 5s.
 Speaking without notes. as he will, Clemenceau may talk for two hours if he finds an interested audience and Is able to make himself understood in the great auditorium of the MetropoE- tan Opera House.
 Nothing else was planned for the Tiger today. Hes was expected to re- main at the Gibson home resting and working on tonight's address.
