they are finally adjudicated. but later

principle OF the -confscation OF

Immediately utilize the private prop

payment Of the debts of the former

either program.

cantata. Mr.. Damrosch selected three
excerpts and arranged them out of
order so far as the continuity of the
original cantata is concerned. but
