14 'PRINCESS PAT' PLEASES MANY Musical Comedy Lacks Good Chorus, but Others in 1 Cast Are Good Victor Herbert's fine musical j comedy success "The Princess Pat" j was presented at the Orpheum last night. The clever play with its j tuneful musical numbers was al- 1 most spoiled by the poor chorus — j •i chorus including the strangest i variety seen in musical comedy in i Harrisburg in many a day. Only the ability of a few of the, others, in the cast saved the musical'! success from losing its charm and; it is certain that these few would have been given more applause and would have been enjoyed more had j the supporting characters been j better. The book and lyric* of) "The Princess Pat" are by Henry I Blossom and the musical soore by i the widely-known composer 'Rdj •orcheatra conductor, Victor Herbert. Many of these numbers are f life, best which have been written lor; musical comedy but the presenta tion of some of them was morrcd j by the chorus.

Prince; "All For You," duet; "Ini a I.ittle World For Two," quartet of I mixed voices: "The T.aughin< Irish! Ryes.," by Princess Pat and 'he i horus. MAX ROBERTSON. Mrs. Daniels Tells Why Secretary Made Navy Dry Philadelphia, Jan. 2.—Mrs. Jo sephus Daniels, wife of the Secretary! of the Navy, yesterday disclosed why the Secretary's order before the war 1 ( eliminating intoxicating liquors from 1 officers' mess in the Nuvy was issued. The order, she said, was brought about by the case of a young officer whose court-martial for being in toxjeated Mr. Daniels had approved., "A young officer had been court! martialed by the proper authorities 1 for being intoxicated." said Mrs. 1 Daniels, "and Mr. Daniels had ap- 1 proved the finding when an uncle of c the boy, a member of the Society of ! ' Friends, came into his office and up- 1 braided him for having approved the 1 sentence. He said the boy didn't know what the taste of liquor was until he j went into the Navy. My husband then ! ( issued his order, feeling that it was, right for him to do so even if it only) meant the welfare of one young of-1 llcer." Mrs. Daniels said her husband had always been a total abstainer, never having used liquors in any form. Mrs. Daniels, accompanied by Miss Kthel Hagley, her sister, and also a sister of the commander of the Ja- cob Jones, whose life was recently saved when that vessel was torpe doed. were in Philadelphia to as sist Mrs. E. T. Stotesbury last night at a supper and reception which she gave to the Navy men stationed in Philadelphia.

S. at Work Paris, Jan. 2.—Premier Clemen ceau has given this New Year mes sage to the Petit Journal: "Why have I confidence? Because I kndw our poilus; because I know their chiefs, clear-sighted and reso lute; because I know our steadfast allies; because I see the Americans at work; because our enemies now put all their hopes of peace In the action of the Russian Maximalists. "A few more strong efforts. The road is straight. I sight the goal." Struggle Must Continue; French Will Be Victors With Assistance of U. S.

[ 4 own terms, which they think wilt discredit the Imperialists generally# The correspondent continues: "And If in the long run Russia 1* driven to conclude a separ te peace on any other terms, I prophesy that! the Kusslan signatories to such peace will not be. Bolshevlki, bull members of opposition political par ties." It is not clear from the dispatch' of the Daily News correspondent; when the meeting which is said to< have resulted in the declaring off of peace negotiations was held and, there is possibility the report refers' to an alleged rupture of negotiations several days ago when the discus*, slons were adjourned. "I have private and reliable ln. fornlatton with regard to the break ing off of the peace negotiations, which established beyond doubt the honesty of purpose of the Bolshe-, viki," says the correspondent, whose* dispatch is dated Tuesday. "The' central powers proceeded to makeii a more detailed statement of terms from which it appeared that they considered Poland, Lithuania, Hour-' land, etc., had already dellned them-, selves. They further based their 1 demand on the statement of Ukraine that it would not recognize peace negotiations at which it was not rep resented officially. They demanded, that they should keep garrisons n* Riga, Dibau and other strategic, points. "The Russian delegation, actlnar on unequivocal instructions from the Bolshevik! authorities, took up an uncompromising attitude. They said self-detinition was impossible until the last German soldier had left tht country. Further, they jeered the Germans, asking what they proposed to do. They asked whether they In tended to take Petrograd and feed 3,000.000 starving folk, or to disarm a revolutionary country In which ev ery workman had a rifle. They also asked what Ihe Germans proposed to say to their own democracy, which protested a couple of months ago against the proposed annexation of Poland and Lithuania. They re marked that they were surprised that even the Prussian junkers had such audacity. "The Germans asked time for con sideration and begged that this stage of the negotiations should not be published. The Russians refused to allow this and left Brest-Litovsk." Tho Petrograd correspondent of the Daily News referring to M. Radek's speech, the Russians de manded that all Socialists imprison ed in Germany be released immedi ately. Count Von Hlrbach, head ot the German political delegation in Petrograd, replied that this was a political question and that the dele gation was only empowered to deal with technical matters. The corre spondent reports that the Russians insisted, however, and that Count Von Mirbach agreed to transmit the demand to the German government. The delegation, adds the corre spondent, will probably be embar rassed by the further demand that large numbers of civilians who had been taken to Germany and forced to labor be released. London, Jan. 2—The representatives of Bulgaria and Turkey, Russian del egates say, are most obstinate re garding peace concessions as com pared with the German delegates and he believes that their attitude will hamper further negotiations. M. Pavlovitch thinks Germany cer tainly will demand the evacuation of Mesopotamia, Arabia and Palestin for the freedom of Belgium and occu pied French territory, and if the suc cesses of the central powers in Italy continue, also will demand the return of Tripoli. Negotiations for a general peace at Brest-Litovsk were adjourned Decem ber 25 until January 4. Since then at Brest-L.ltovsk and in Petrograd representatives of Russia and the central powers have been discussing informally points to be settled in tho event of a peace agreement being: reached. Provisional agreement has been reached on some points but tho Russian proposals regarding occu pied territory were not received witlt favor apparently by the Germans. A report from Amsterdam on December 31 said Dr. Von Kuehlmann, the Ger man foreign secretary, would appear before the foreign committee of th German Bundesrath on Wednesday to explain the status of tho Russian ne gotiations.

"Sacred Privilege" By the Hon. Martin G. Brumbaugh, Governor of the Commonwealth of Pen nsylvania. When 1 recently visited the camps and cantonments where our Pennsylvania men are in training for the holy service It was my constant purpose to know what was being done for the social and spiritual welfare of these splendid soldiers. In all the camps we visited we found the Y. M. C. A. and Knights of Columbus buildings equipped, officered and minis tering in a most helpful way to the men. The Knights of Columbus halls were well planned and well equipped. The men found In them welcome and benefi cence. X count it a sacred privilege, as well as a patriotic duty, to * help support this great service to our men and our country.
