property in the hands of the National
Guard of Pennsylvania when it went

ice Bureau and payment of any
moneys to Governor Brumbaugh as

nouncement as to what course is to
be followed has been made.
State Health Department en-

Harrisburg Music Director
Defines Grand Opera

II am certain that when I express
my JOY over the coming of grand
opera. 1 am speaking not only for
myself. but for thousands of Harris
burg music lovers. You see. no one
can appreciate the great educational
role and entertaining powers of grand
opera like the professional musician.
who devotes hls best efforts toward
the true musical emancipation of his
community.
''If one considers that at a grand
opera performance the audience is
brought face to face with the best
elements in all the arts, it will be easy
enough to appreciate the fact that no
matter how many symphony concerts
choral concerts we give throughout
the musical season. and no matter
how many famous soloists entertain
us with their brilliant performances.
none of these musical treats can make
up for the loss of good operatic per-
formances."
Here l ventured to interrupt the
enthusiastic music director:
IF that's the case, would YOU con-
slider grand opera as the highest form
in musical art?"
"Yes, and no." replied Mr.. Phillips,
with telling smile. "Of course, every
serious student of music will have to
admit that the very highest form in
musical art is chamber music. for in
the creation as we'll as Interpretation
of such musical works the creator, as
well as the interpreter, can only at
tain the acme of perfection through
their own personal artistry upaided by
any other outside influences or me-
diums.
"on the other hand, grand opera is
the happiest combination of every
known art in which each blends and
helps the other and as such a force
full combination of all that's the best
in every art grand opera makes an
appeal. One does not have
to he a very cultured music lover to
appreciate grand opera, for this is the
only theatrical art in which n direct
appeal is made to ones sense of see
ing as well as hearing"

TELyTON SAILORS
TRIUMPH in HUN
CLASH in BERLIN
Compromise Reached Where
by They Agree to Cease Re-
volt Against Government
By Associated Press

Berlin, Dec. 27.-An eleventh hour
compromise with the revolving sail
ors by the Ebert-Scheidemann Sec
ton of the government. apparently
saved Berlin from an extremist
Christmas to-day. (Later reports
from Berlin are that the Spartacus
faction still is the cause of trouole), ,
The sailors gained more than they
sought and will remain in Berlin as
part of the Republican Soldiers
Guard.
The comprise provides that a di-
vision of troops from the western
front under Lieutenant General
Lequis. sent to Berlin by Field Mar
shal Won Hindenburg In response to
an appeal by the government, will re-
tire and leave the capital under the
protection of two volunteer policing
organizations dominated by eXtrem-
lists. The sailors, against whom the
soldiers have been antagonistic, are
known to be under the special lead
ership of George Ledebour. who was
one of the representatives of the
sailors in the negotiations yesterday
with the Ebert-Haase government.
The sailors agree not to partici-
pate in any future revolt against the
government.
Berlin was quiet on Christmas ex-
cept for noisy Spartacus demonstra-
tions in the Tiergarten. DR.. Lieb-
knecht and Deputy Ledebour ad-
dressed about ten thousand persons
in the Tiergarten, after which the
crowd marched 10 the Brandenburg
gate to the former royal palace to
demand the overthrow of the govern
ment.
In addition to the damage already
reported In Tuesdays fighting, the
cathedral is badly Scared by ma
chine gun fire. One of the marble
columns forming the back ground
of the monument of Emperor Will
liam l was completely destroyed by
q battery.
The interior of the Red Palace was
damaged heavily by shell fire. The
former royal apartments had been
transformed into Il revolutionary
and signs of confusion
and neglect were everywhere. In the
private dining room of the former
Emperor the correspondent saw the
bodies of five sailors killed in the
lighting.
The palace ostensibly is under the
protection of the revolutionary gov
ernment as national property" but
II is doubtful whether the authori-
ties have any. control over the hum
dreds OF sailors and soldiers quar-
tered there.

Traffic Conditions
Bettered in November

Marked betterment in traffic con-
ditions during the month of Novem-
ber is noted by c. II. Markham,
regional director of the Allegheny
region. in a report to the director
general of railroads. The number of
bad order cars, he. says. decreased
2,57S compared with Ocober 1918
Locomotive output increased 6 per
cent as compared with October, due
to better working conditions, influ-
enza not being so prevalent, but the
locomotives. out of service increased
so. The railroads received Is locomo-
tives built in their shops, and 100
from locomotive builders, leaving 319
to be received to complete 1918 pro-
gram.
Addition and betterment work
during the latter part of the month
made better progress due to ability
to recruit more labor as the demand
has not been so great in the war i'm
dustries. BY concentrating on engine
house and yard improvements, large
portion of such work has been COM
pleted. or is nearing completion, so
that benefit will be derived during
the present winter from these ex-
penditures."

ing impossible for us to fill thes1
promptly, and instead of distribut-
ing our goods more quickly, they
are really slowing up the process.
We believe that we can serve yoa
better now by revertng to our for
mer policy of shipping exclusively
through the jobber, and, effective inn
mediately, no more drop shipments
will be made.
While we have put on a night
shift and have, thereby, about dou-
bled our production. we are still
unable to fill our back orders and
won't be able to give each jobber
all the NapoRub he wants. Hence,
1t will be necessary for the jobbers
to continue distributing VapoRub in
small lots only. But we will be
able to furnish each jobber at least
twice the quantity of VapoRub thai
he purchased for the corresponding
month last year, so there should not
be any difficulty in your getting your
pro rata share.
We feel that the public appreci-
ates the service that the retail and
yholesale drug trade have rendered
the country in this time of stress.
We wish to express to both branches
of the trade our thanks for the kind
cooperation extended us in our ef-
fort to meet this emergency.
