MAY ABOLISH
ALL COMMITTEES
School Board to Act on Inno
vation at Next
Meeting
The school board at its first meet
ing next month will act on a resolu
tion introduced by Director George
A. Werner which if passed will
mean the abolition of all standing
committees of the board. This was
une of the chief recommendations
in the school survey report and was
embodied in the resolution which
Werner submitted at yes-
MTday's meeting.
Because of lack of unanimous con
sent to discuss the question the mo
tion was laid over for a month. Di
rectors C. E. L. Keen. W. Frank
Wltman and Harry A. Boyer stated
they favored the change. Mr.
Boyer also suggested changing the
lime of meeting from the afternoon
to evening.
•The contract for installing a steam 1
heating system in the new Junior i
High School at Nineteenth and;
Chestnut streets, was awarded to Ed- I
win P. Saeger, of Allentown, at a j
bid of $53,150. The question of;
whether steam or hot air units would |
be installed resulted in postpone- |
ment of the ward when the board j
met last week and gave the general i
contract to Augustus Wildman, low
est bidder.
All the recommendations of the
leachers' committee were adopted,
including the ones providing for the j
organization of a radio school in the i
evening at the Technical High I
School for men of draft age, and i
provision for forming Junior Red |
Cross leagues in the public schools I
City Superintendent F. E. Downes!

V
Central High Notes
'
The question uppermost now in
the minds of Central's football squad
is "Will there, or will there not be'
a banquet?" It has been customary
to give a banquet to the football
men after the Thanksgiving game.
but there is considerable discussion
| this year as to whether true pa
! triots should do this. It was an
nounced yesterday that no action
will be taken until all the football
material, suits, etc., are turned over
to the manager. Last year there
was much difficulty in having, the
material returned. Men who had
not given back all their equipment
were not permitted to attend the
banquet at the Senate. Principal
Dibble stated that the night of the
banquet in the Senate lobby last
year three of the squad hailed him
and asked to be permitted to have
a share in the "eats" as they had
just returned their suits. As it was
in the evening and Central's doors
were locked they had thrown their
football material over the office
transom. They were permitted to
join in the fun at the Senate. How
ever, that will not occur this year,
as all material must be in before
any fun will be planned.
ftoys to Debate
Two boys' debating teams will be
formed at Central in the near future
to take part in the triangle debate
which is being arranged between
Reading, Altoona and Central. While
one of Central's teams is debating
at Reading or Altoona the other will
be engaged in debate here with an
opposing team. Last year Central
was engaged in only one debate. The
boys' team was defeated and the
girls defeated the York team. Cen
tral won a trophy at State College
for their excellent work in debating
two years ago. A girls' team will be
organized in the near future.
Clans Dance Success

ident, Stuart Wagner, and the sec
retary'. Miss Virginia Forrer, the

LITTLE OPERA
SCORES SUCCESS
; Amateur Production of "Out
r Somewhere" Delights Large
Audience Last Evening
i
1 By JOHN W. PHILLIPS
War, and .he effects of war, caused'
' no heartaches last night at the Or
-1 pheuni Theater, but rather brightened
• our lives for a brief two hours, in
stilled a little more patriotism into
us, and gave us a glimpse of happy
! youth, singing, dancing and making
| merry, and with good reason, for
I the war began and ended while we sat
'at attention. There were no sordiJ
scenes; everything was bright, happy
and picturesque. Simple country life
and customs were ingeniously re
flected in speech, song and dance.
"Out Somewhere" is listed as a mili
tary operetta: it is not very strongly
military, but it is wholesome, clever,
catchy, tuneful and colorful. It is
essentially an operetta for young
folks. It breathes the spirit of young
life that does not take responsibilities
too seriously. The music is well fitted
to the words, and there is more orig
inality in the melodies than one tinds
in most light \Vorlcs of this kind. The
work was exceedingly well put on
last night by Mrs. Lake and her capa-
I ble company of Harrisburgers. It is
worth the price of admission to have
I Harrlsburg's youth and beauty a.s
--j sembled so nicely, so we can see it,
I and appreciate it.
There were nearly three hundred
| thus assembled, all there with the
idea of making a success of the un
j dertaking,—and they did. It is some
j Job to take a miscellaneous "crowd"
of young folks and weld them into a
singing chorus, but it was achieved
with gratifying success.
Prlnelpnln Well Cnnt
The principals were well cast. Mrs.
Roy G. Cox, as Clarice, the prettiest
girl in town, sustained the part with
much grace and charm, wl\ile vocally
adequate to all the musical demands.
She has good poise, and was attrac
tively dressed in bright red and white
—very becoming, indeed. Paul Miller,
as Sergeant Leroux, made a good
looking soldier and carried his part
through to .success. George Sutton as
Jean was very satisfactory in every
thing he had to do, both vocally and
dramatically, making an ideal lover
|at all times. Miss Mary Belle Corbett
as Babette was vivacious and whim
| sical, and caught the spirit of the
role admirably. Abner Hartman, as
Pompom, the marvelous man, gave
humor and excellent vocal powers to
the performance. Mr. Martina nwas
well fitted for the part and added
many touches of humor that kept
things moving in a joyful outdoor
spirit. Mrs. Frank Fager, as Martha
Michaud, interpreted the village gos
sip in a way that showed a careful
study of the character. Her contralto
voice was used to good advantage
In singing and her acting was clev
erly done. William Bretz, as Gaspard,
the tinker youth, was excellent, both
in action and singing. Mis., Kath
aiine Dubbs, as Marie the shepherd
ess, made a charming picture. She
was graceful, modest and winsome.
She displayed fine ability both in
singing and acting
Some of the musical hits: The open
ing chorus, with Katharine Dubbs in
solo part. Both chorus and soloist
were superb In this number, which
made a good Impression to start with.
"Have You Heard the News?" by Mrs.
Fager and chorus was also a winner;
the action and music being cleverly
handled. The Bakers' chorus, by ten
youths cleverly made up and singing
"Buy a Loaf"; the chorus by the
charming pastry girls; the solo by
Mr. Hartman, "I Ant a Marvelous
Man", sung with fine freedom and In
j terpretation, the chorus helping: "The
i Tramp of Soldier Feet," by Mr. Miller
| and chorus.
Dniirrn anil .Wnrehr*
"Citizens, Your Country Culls," by
| Mrs. Cox, a stirring -lumber; "Bold
and Blustering Soldiers Wo," sung by
| the smaller boys very cleverly and
later Joined by a group of girls;
| "Sweetheart, If I Held the Sun." sung
effectively by Mr. Sutton, who also
I rrade a good lover: "If Feeling Sad,"
| by Mrs. Cox; "The Tinker's Song," one
of the gems of the work, cleverly in
terpreted and sung by Katharine
Dubbs and William Bretz, assisted by
the chorus: "Weave a Wreath cf Lau
rel Green," danced and sung by a
group of young ladies (we knew there
was something lacking in the dance—
it was the wooden shoes); the Knit
ting chorus, by .a group of Harris
burg's fairest daughters, who were
graceful both in dance and song;
"Cuddle Down." by Mrs. Cox and the
wee ones; this made a charming ap
peal to both eye and <ar; "Ths Little
! Baboon." by Miss Corbett, who sang
this to the little ones; "In the Merry
Summertime," by Katharine Dubbs
and the dancing shepherdess; "Goosey,
Goosey, Gander," by the Gander girls
and a real gander that thought at
times there was a rough sea on; "As
a Man of My Importance," by Mr.
Hartman and chorus; "One Little Bird
Built a Cozy Nest," by Miss Corbett
and Mr. Sutton. Lots of Words Rhyme
| With Love," by Katharine Dubbs.
J William Bretz and chorus. William
i Webster, although not officially 11st-
J ed, sang the "Sandman's Song," while
i the little tots were being hustled off
j to bed.
i All the above were genuine hits
! with the audience, and every one ot
j the cast is to be complimented for
| the fine portrayal of their respective
parts. The costumes were very, very
' attractive and the scenery superb.
1 The Orpheum Theater was filled,
the stage was filled and we hope the
! treasury of the Sunshine society is
! also filled, because they deserve it
i for giving us such a delightful and
I interesting entertainment. All Har
! rlsburg should see It, and, to see it
| is to enjoy It thoroughly.

NOW AT WAR WITH
GERMANY'S ALLY
State of War Exists From 5.03
Yesterday, When President
Signed Declaration
SET RECORD IN CONGRESS
Meyer London, Socialist Rep
resentative From New York,
Only Dissenting Voter
By Associated Press
Washington, Dec. B.—The United
States was at war with. Austro-Hun
gary to-day as the result of a joint
resolution adopted by Congress and
approved by President Wilson. The
state of war exists from 5.03 p. m.
yesterday, the time when the Presi
dent signed the declaration and com
pletion of the formal steps awaits
only the issuance of an executive
proclamation.
The resolution adopted declares
the existence of state of war be
tween the Imperial and Royal Aus
tro-Hungarian government and the
government and people of the Unit
ed States" and authorizes the Presi
dent to employ the nation's armed
forces and pledging its resources to
victory. With the resolution out of
the way Congress adjourned until
next week, the Senate until Monday
and the House until Tuesday. '
Interest centered to-day in the
President's proclamation which is
expected shortly and probably will
define the status of Austro-Hungar
ian subjects, particularly of those in
th e armed forces of the United
States.
America at last is formally and ac
tually at war with Austria-Hungary.
President Wilson last night signed
the declaration that, with formali
ties waived and opposition virtually
erased, had been adopted by the
Senate and House of Representatives
in less than four hours. The decla
ration dates from 5.03 p. m., when
the President affixed his signature,
and from that hour all the resources
of the country stand pledged to push
the war to a successful conclusion.

have heart disease and a little less
than one per cent, have tuberculosis.
Many of the nation's best specialists
have given up their well-paying
practices for positions in the camps,
at $2,000 a year. These men help
the boys who are ill, to get back to
perfect health. The men in camp
are strong and vigorous.
"The first soldier who came to the
camp reached the place September
5. From that time, the conditions
have been spendid, and the men are
well eared for. The morale of the
soldiers is of the highest order.
"Lawyers, physicians, millionaires
and paupers work together as pri
vates in the camp, and do their work
with a will.
Praise For Y. M. C. A.
"The Y. M. C. A. is doing a great
work among the soldiers. One of
fhe most amusing sights I saw while
at camp was in a Y. M. C. A. for
colored men. I was passing by the
building when X heard laughter and
merrymaking. I looked into the
building and saw soldiers seated
everywhere, on the rafters, on the
windowsills. and everywhere they
could find places. They were listen
ing to a colored band, led by a col
ored entertainer, and they were
memorizing the melodies the band
men sang and played."
The work of examination is not
finished in the camp. Dr. Ellenber
ger says, but the condition of the
boys he has examined is almost per
fect.
