And now the great forces of Europe
were at war to the teeth. To the man
of imagination. to the statesman. it was
easy to see that the opportunity had
arrived for this people to strike and
take part in the common struggle for
the freedom of the race.
1t was left to Paderewski-artist SUI
preme-who had made his fame as a
musician, as well as his fortune, In a
world chiefly outside his fatherland-
1t was left to this great artist to aban-
don his art and to turn his fortune thus
earned into the building of an army
and to give all that he had made of
himself in one great stroke to regain
for Poland her birthright.

Lane laughed,
You artists always think in big

you. But there Is great practical side
to the job of nation building"
Don't you think that Paderewski
has that also?" I asked.
Yes" Lane quickly retorted That's
why am interested: that's why it has
interested us; that's why he is succeed
ing. They tell me he has abandoned
his music: that he has set his entire
fortune aside to arm Poland and to
place her by the side of the allies in
the long fight for freedom in Europe.
You know he has camp In Canada,
which he has carried on alone for a
long time, receiving recruits from every
where on this continent and preparing
them at the camp to be sent to the

The French, Canadian and American

all been won by the Providence girl and
she has captured every worthwhile title
IN the Eastern. Southern, Northern and

her grasp. And now she Is making an

In 1926. when Glenna last journeyed
10 England the coal strike necessitated
the postponement of the matches and
she had TO return home with the sting
Of her 1925 defeat at the hands OF
Joyce Wethered still ranking IN her
competitive heart.
Those who are interested in woman's
golf still talk about that stirring match
between the English champion. then
considered the greatest woman golfer In
the world. and the young girl from
Providence. II was in the third round
Of play a. TToon-a long course, with

Coliett had ever played. she suddenly

Had they played out the round and
had Miss Wethered maintained her
pace. she would have had 10 for the

of Bobby Jones was never In the rough,

of death and destruction that seemed
eternity that the new free Poland was
born. It was out of these days Of suf-
fering that the necessary resolutions
took form.
Poland had been divided for cen-
tury and her separate parts had been
enslaved by these madmen whose iron
heels while trampling upon her freedom
we're at the same time tearing each
other apart.
Out of this she arose bloody and un-
bowed: against both. out OF the gloom

the pale. torn soul of Poland. Quietly
and silently he appeared, fighting with
the allies-thinking and pleading for
his fatherland
AS Lane had said, Paderewski had
formed camp beyond our neutral bor-
ders. and there he had gathered his
brothers of Poland and had formed a
legion that would win the national
rights with the allies which he was
destined later to define before the pre-
