PADEREWSKI’S AUDIENCE “POLAND IS IMMORTAL” (Reed. Jan. 24, 2 p.m.) PARIS, Jan. 23. M. Paderewski, after his election as President of the National Council, reduced a majority of his hearers to tears in the course of a speech at the Polish Embassy. Facing a specially erected altar where the assembly took the oath to liberate their homeland, he declared: “'Poland is immortal. We will deliver her from captivity and raise her from the ruins. Our army will bring liberty to their oppressed brothers after tire final victory beside the Allied armies.”
