Americans were callad to the needs

I speak from experience when I
say that the United States Is the
most generous country on earth
These young girls will not only af-
ford pleasure to their compatriots-
by their exquisite voices but many
of them will reflect the highest credit
upon their country The United
States is doalinad to have the best
vocal music in the world Nor is the
tamp fur distant when tho United
States will lead the other nations
in vocal music as much as she does
toy in agricultural implements
Speaking about helping American f
young girls wao are studying music
I understand that certain American
ladies have given money for British
and American Christian assert- ¬

that tho will help students Now

If the worst should come I am

The large landowner works it
through his peasants The peasants
own certain strips of land The
wages paid them are not large but
they grow upon the bits of land

permitted to pick up the dead
branches of the trees In the forests

pretty annual custom obtained
which went to show the friendly re- ¬

Paderewshi Also Affected
I understand that Paderewski has
sold some of his Polish property

doubtless in the same condition as
that of the rest of us The stat
of affairs seems to be not merely a
revolt nor a revolution but a dlssc

I presume she will take it Bu
the people are not ready for sell

lead to anarchy And what will fol
