HE' public career of Em Feisal has been brief Hi eventful, He is the secon son of King Hussein, th | Sherrit of Mecca, and he trades hi | lineage back to Mahomet. Until quit | recently Prince Feisal led a quiet 1if {at the court of his father, but whe: Col. Lawrence gathered together th: Arab forces, with a view of co operating with Gen. Allenby's army it was he who volunteered to lead hi: faithful Moslem followers to what ever might be in store for them. Emir Feisal was not slow to seize his opportunity, but not only did he dend the tremendous weight of his moral support but he detually direct ed military operations in the field. He set forth with an unbourded faith and in the most adverse circum: stances. His only means of communi- cation with the Egyptian expedition- ary force was by airplane, and a broad strip of country held by the Turks divided him from the British forces. His regular army numbered only 30 horsemen, but he believed in the justice of his cause and hoped to gather support on his journey northward. His task . was hardly lightened by the fact that.Col. Law- rence was known to be with him and the German authorities had placed & price of £20,000 upon his head." There was only one course open to him, and that was to harass the enemy by means of a persistent guer- illa warfare, The men under his command, fired by the enthusiasm of their royal leader, were admirably suited to this task; while mounted on | native ponies they travelled quickly places of importance without mercy. By the time the Turks had collected an adequate force to deal with the new invader, Emir Feisal had plant- ed his gayly colored standard in the security of the hills. As time progressed and the Arab forces had 'increased to some 10,000 men, the prince made more ambitious {and raided the railways and other 4 shadow of the mind within. and a prince who has the heartiest wishes of success from all whe have been privileged to know him.-- Christian Science Monitor. BRILIZANT PADEREWSKE His Hopes For the Future of His Beloved Fpland. A very jealous German pianist once remarked, after a friend had sald something about Paderewski's versatility and wide, knowledge: "Yes, he knows everything--except musie!" It is music, alas, that knows him No more, though there may be hope for the future. For the present his ardent patriotism has overcome his devotion to the divine art. He ia in the midst of the terrible Polish and Bolshevik maelstrom, and heaven grant he may not be engulfed by it. Those who know hls intense artistic temperament fear a breakdown when they read in the cable despatches of the nervous strain to which he is sub- jected; as at Warsaw, when shets were fired at his window; and again: "As he spoke, crowds outside the hotel windows were still cheering, singing the national anthem, and calling for him, although it was three o'clock in the morning and his wife was plaintively insisting that her husband take some rest, saying that he had been speaking continu- ously for twenty hours." It is the Pace that kills. % A well-known musical critic says of the Polish musician: "The friend- ship of Paderewski has been one of the things that have helped to atone for the awful boredom to which a musical critic, obliged to head the bad and mediocre, as well as the Bood, is inevitably subjected. For a quarter of a century I have known him intimately, and from year to year my admiration of his mind--quite apart from music--has grown. Talk with him on almost any subject you please and he knows more about it than you do--at least than 1 do. About American politics he knows more in a day than I do in a year, and the same with European politics, Ask him about Argentinian agricul ture, or about Chinese ethnology, and again you will be surprised te find he knows all about it. The last time [ had the pleasure of entertain~ ing him at lunch in my home was shortly after the Russian revolution had been started. He knew every- thing about the men who. first took up the reins so proumeingly, talking about them fascinatingly for an hour. Then he shook his head and predict ed what would happen because Rus- sia was4't ripe for a republic."

Damascus, the crown of their brightest dreams, was still some 300 miles away, and the prospects of any territorial conquest seemed more and more remote. The tenacity of the man was clearly revealed in those days of waiting, and his faith in ulti- mate success did not waver for a mo- ment. He used to say, "The British cause is just, and so is ours, and therefore we will win." : , Early in October, 1918, he set out 10 strike his final blow. Gen. Allenby outflanked the Turks on the west, Emir Feisal marched as rapidly round the eastern flank. According to plan, the Arab forces were to mest & British cavalry division at Dogs, the most important railway junction east of the Jordan, on the 26th of that almost turned night into lay. It. was the first sign of the Arab forces who had arrived early and set ernment, he began an extensive tour through Syria, in the course of which he visited Beirut, Moallaka, Baal- beck, Hos, Aleppo, from whence he returned to Damascus again, via Tripoli and Beirut." It was generally expected that he would settle down there and attend to the affairs of the new Arab king- dom, but with great discretion he realized the futility of sueh an at- tempt. His boundaries were not yet nor did he know exact'y to what extent he could count on the diplomatic as well as active support of Great Britain in the future, and with the simple directness that char- acteriges him, he stated quite openly he would preter 'to return to Mecca and leave Jamascus in the hands of the allies. than ro ruin his establish his position. So, with a view to ascertaining the n State of alain. he sailed to rance with a twe purpose in Decenber, 1918.

His plans for a Greater Poland of 40, 000,000 souls alone ean insure the future peace of Europe. It is doubt- ful if any other living Pole is 50 well qualified as Paderewski for the posi- tion of President of Poland. But, according to his own wards, and the insistent assurance of his stepson. Mr, Gorski, he has no political am- bitions for himself, but only wishes to get back as soon as possible to his plano and his composer's desk. --------------i Perfumes "or Religious Rites.
