Somebody accused Victor Herbert Of
plagiarism, was promptly sued for
damages by the indignant composer,
and had to plank down fifteen thou
sand dollars for his indiscretion. 1t is
quite the fashion nowadays to formu-
late charges of plagiarism against
writers and composers. As if any
body could invent anything original
after all these centuries OF civiliza-
tionl Plagiarism is committed every
day, in every conceivable way, and it
would be asinine to regard it as a
heinous offense. Some OF the greatest
geniuses have been marvelously sue
cessful plagiarists. Shakespeare pla.
CARRIED wherever and whenever he
had chance, and nobody has reason
to think the worse Of him for doing it.
Wagner appropriated themes from
LIT and Beethoven. Puccini, Mas
cagni, Leoncavallo and host OF 9th.
ers are initiating and plagairizing
Wagner. And so it everywhere. The
most successful men these days are
those who know how and where to
plagiarize and to turn imitation to
the best possible account.

SAILS TO FIGHT
BALTIC FLEET
Japanese Send Forty Warships South
to Engage Rojestvensky.
FIERCE FIGHTING AT FORTRESS

Washington. Dec. 30. = Japan has
dispatched a great fleet of 40 warships
TO meet and destroy the powerful Rus
sian Baltic fleet.
This information is official. II is
contained in a cable TO the United
states government from the American
minister in Toxic. 1t reads:
"A Japanese fleet of 40 vessels
passed Pescadores Islands yesterday,
going south This report has been
confirmed here"
The Pescadores Islands lie just
south of Formosa.
Thus, Japan. ever ready and quick
to act, has moved far ahead of the
time expected. to bring about a sea
battle that is expected to be the most
important in modern times.
The place agreed upon by the Rus
SLAMS to concentrate is believed to be
the Chagos group of islands. south Of
India. Naval experts here figure that
the cars officers expected to mobilize
the armada about January 4.
However. this sudden and dramatic
move on the worlds chess board by
the mikado is declared here TO be GER
tain to surprise the Russians and
compel a hurried change of plans.
