It wat a significant index of the ilinrerx that linve liecn brought upon the world bv the war. that the historic roof which has so often In past years rihrnl-'a with the applause that has greeted Paderewskl as a musician, last nliht ngaln vibrated with applause for Mm, but this time as n patriot nnd n mvlor of his crushed and bleeding nn the land. , The tribute to the pinnlst-stntcsman wk brought out by a question asked uf the speaker at the conclusion of his ddrr. "How vnlunblc have Paderew kl's services been to Poland?" "In answering that question, " snld Dr. Lord, "I might distinguish between Interim! and foreign affairs. Paderew rill actually did wonderful service nt the stnrt by ending n crisis between the Polish parties and found lug the flrit. government that everybody could accept "Liter, 1,10 had so many tasks on his hands, and foreign oucstionH. nnr t.i-ulnrly nt Paris, were so absorbing lnat 1 fenr he could not find time to natch Internal affairs and keep them running ns smoothly as might have been i Mired. "Hilt you must remember thai F.idcrcuNkl Is nn orntor of the first rank. He was able to go into assem blies, both nt home nnd In Paris, nnd iweep them oft their feet by his elo quence. "Secondly, he is so obviously a high niimliMl nnd disinterested patriot that be commands confidence from everybody, lie was nble even to earn the friend chip of Lloyd George. He gnliled a great many things for Poland that a itatesman would not hnve been able to do. "His services were inestimable to I'nland. They were not entirely un niarred. but ho did what probably no other Pole could have done." Settlement Not the Fairest Throughout tho address und in the antwers to questions, the speaker mndo man allusions wlilch plainly indiraten that the nctlons of Lloyd George and cither Ilritisli diplomats at Paris were most distasteful to him. His Npcech, in fact, left the impression that the English premier was a constant trouble maker in the conferences. The general tendency of the French wprccntntives, he said, was extremely favorable to I'oland. They were on the ililc nf the Czechs against Pnlnnd.nnd on the eastern frontier, tried to. keel) tie aspirations of Poland In check in order not to offend Hussln, but with these reservations France was for a stronger Poland. I ranee and I'oland were bound to gether by common Interests nnd the former also felt that the Poles might bieniui. another Franco on the east of Germany. I ranee, therefore, wanted a stione Poland, wherens Knglund seemed to feel tnat such n new state would be a future liability rather than an nssct so far ns ihe was concerned. One of bis most significant statements come In answer to the question: "Was the Paris settlement the fairest to Po land that could linve been reached?" Dr Lord bestitated n moment and then snid frankly : 'No The Danzig hettlement wns a ver grave blow to the most vitnl in- treits of Poland. The arrangeuitnt is now reduced to a definite treaty signed the other day and it whittles away mine rights that the pence treaty as Hired to Poland.

Lloyd George's opposition compelled modification in certain of the plans when first propoied. Later tho'Ilrltlsh premier Intervened In the vital ques tion of Danzig during n critical mo ment of the Peace Conference nnd was able to win President Wilson over. "Hut." enld the spenker, "I believe that Wilson Intended Danzig for a Po lish port, but I believe he felt it incum bent on him to accent Lloyd George's point.

"The most serious modification was taking back I'ppcr Silesia from the Poles nnd Arranging a plebescite there.

The plebescite In Upper SIlcMa, wlilch is tlie realty important one, will be held January i!S mill we must look forward to It with n certain nmnunt of trepidation." Poland, nam Dr. Lord, now has nn nrcn of 148,000 squnrc miles and n population estimated at from 2!),000, 000 to 32,000,000. It is Inrger than tho United Kingdom or Italy nnd three quarters as large as France, It rnnks as the fifth state In Europe In size and sixth in population. Ionises Polish People "Doubtless the Poles tiavc many de fects," be said in conclusion. "They hnve mndo many errors In the post tvv vnnrH-nml hnve shown n lack of eco nomic efficiency nnd the spirit of law and order nnd solidarity. "Hut tlicv are nn extraordinarily tal ented nnd gifted people. I doubt if nny other nations nre so gifted as the Poles, with the possible exception of the French.

Hush Will Plead Guilty Willinm Hush, defaulting secretnry troasiircr of the Wilmington Snvings Fund Society, who is accused of steal ing $200,000 in securities from the In stitution, will pleud guilty. He made thnt stnteiuent to Wnrden Mordecai Plummer, of the New Castle County Workhouse, where be is Im prisoned. It wns his sole comment ns he went from his fine home on Delnwnre nvenue, Wilmington, to the bare cell in the prison. "I'm going into court and plead guilty," lie snid. Frederick K. Stone, president of the society, in nn official stnteiuent, empha sized that the soundness of tho institu tion will in no wise be uffected by the theft. Stunrt J. Horn, who has suc ceeded Iliisli as secretary-treasurer, told of the discovery of Hush's pecula tions and the procedure being taken to make the loss to the bank us smnll as nossible. Mr. Horn cited Hush's confession, showing the defaulter hnd 11 veil n "Jeltjll-Hydc" life, "plnycd" the stock market with the society funds while liv ing in n home luxuriously furnished, commanding the respect of the commu nity, nud nil the time actively engaged in church work ns an official In a fash ionable congregation. Comment Sarcastic Comments on the streets are sarcastic In their reference to the downfall of this liniik official, who was legally adopted as the son of n prominent manufnetnrer j ears ago, and who went Into court nud hnd his name legally changed from "Lonsberry" to that of bis foster futlier. Hush, after his arrest nml henring, wns committed to the workhouse In do fault of $100,000 bnll.

It wns nt this period he made his only comment "I'll go into court nnd plead guilty" and thnt wns made in response to n query from Warden Pliiminer. To nil other persons Hush refused to comment.

Hush knew the ex nnilnntion wns being innde nnd he snid. "The game is up so far as I um con cerned." lie then made Ills formal con fession to Mr. Stone, the president, nnd to the other bunk officials. "The certificiites of Indebtedness $150,000 worth became due this month nml we intended to put them in for col lection. It wns certain, therefore, thnt Hush would hnve been detected. "We ore amply protected, ns we have ii surety bond ns well as his house. If there should be nn increase in the vnlue of the stocks in wlilch he wus dabbling thnt increase will nceruc to the fund we will recover. "Whoever his brokers were, they should have known thnt an official like Mr. Hush would not liave been nble to trude on the mnrket in such amounts ns lie did, or to cover his margins with such large sums In securities." Frederick K. Stone, president of the bnnk, authorized this stnteiuent to day: "The theft of .?200,000 worth of bonds from the society will nbsolutely not affect the soundness of tin insti tution in any manner. The surplus fund Is twenty-three times the amount of nny possible loss which can nceruc by theft of the bonds. "Aside from this condition, we Will recover the renter portion of the bonds, nud we nlso bold n bond of indemnity." Thought He'd Get Aid An ofiiciiil of the society expressed disappointment that certain wealthy interests bud not come to Hush's aid, when he said : "We renlly thought they (inclining those wealthy Interests) would come to his rescue before things enmc to n 'showdown.' At least, we thought they would if for no other reason than for the sake of his wife nnd children. They may do it yet." Bush hnd nccess to the securities he stele because the Wilmington Savings Fund Society s securities nre lodged, temporarily, in u safe in another bank ing institution, pending completion of u new hanking house for the society. Hush was the only uiiui who knew the combination of this safe, and It Is be lieved the opportunity to hnndlc a big sum. speculate and get rich quick proved too strong a temptation.- Sinte the llusli .scandal developed a new system is effective. Orders have been isucd that two officers of the so ciety must be present whenever nny bonds or securities are removed from the safe in the temporary quarters, nnd two men now know the combination of the safe. J, Krnest Smith, of counsel for the society, commented on the Hush" con fession, nnd referred speciflcnlly to one stnteiuent of Hush : "I have been leading n Dr. Jekyll Mr. Hvtle existence, nnd it wns the evil side of me which predominated when I stole the bonds." Hush was the adopted son of Wil 1 in in Hush, morocco tcnther manufac turer. In reality, he was Hush's own ifruiidson, ami his nniue wns originally William l.onstierry. Alter the legnl adoption, and us Hush was steadily de veloping into a "coming citizen" in Wilmington, n petition was presented to the court, and approved, by which the nunie of Lonsberry was formally ' -tipped in favor of William Hush, ex actly similar to thnt of tils foster father.

Bays Dr. Frederick P. Gruenberg, di rector of the Hureau of Municipal He M"arch. "Hundreds of citizens. In the way of inqulrv. assertion nnd complaint, hnve Indicated In positive terms with in n recent period that' they are extremely dissatisfied with the way educational at fairs are being administered, snld Mr. Grueniierg. "I hnve hail occasion to address Mores of meetings, nntl here ngaln I have received repeated questions and henril assertions frnm reliresentntivc citizens, vaguely expressing the feeling thnt lliere is something wrong with pub lic educntloii iu the city ns It is now conducted, nnd asking or suggesting how it might be bettered. "It bus been pointed out ns nn In si'nnce by n number of these persons that the most importnnt- function thnt the Ixinrd exercises is t lie one now be fore it, the naming of n school super intendent, who will be nble in a big way to administer the educational duties of the city. "In this prime duty, It is pointed out, tho members of the board hnve so far fulled signally, nnd have shown nn in eptitude thnt would justify the feeling flint some Important change in the ad ministering of school affulrs should be considered. "If this tide of feeling becomes a set tled conviction, nnd active measures are not soon taken to remedy the defects of the present svstein the dissatisfaction will before very long develop lni'o a roar tnnt will tinti its ultimate expression in legislation. "The tuxnavcrs of the city realize, even though iu a vague sort of way, that they are not getting the etlucnnonnl re turns they should have, nntl feel kcerly the fuct thnt this city Is far below a large percentage of other cities in its standard of educational achievement nntl etiuliunent. "Outside the uuestion of nunlity. the size of the board Is a thing to be con sidered. It may be that the present membership of fifte'en is the right one. It is n fact, nevertheless, that many of the principal cities of the country seem to develop very good educational sys tems with boards numbering from five to sever, members. Probably nine would constitute an effective working number. "Dissatisfaction nlso is prevalent with the present method of selecting board members by the Hoard of Judges of the city.
