SCHUMANN COMPOSED
REVOLUTIONARY SONGS
Librarian Discovers Old Manuscripts Indicating Tend
ency of Musician Which Have Started
Copyright Controversy

copyright of Schumann's works has now
lapsed. Therefore, NJ. Malherbe contends,
the ownership of an unpublished manu-
script by Schumann rests solely with the
possessor of it, who is the sole Judge as
to the advisability of publication. The
term OF copyright having expired, Schu-
mann's heirs have no more claim in the
matter.
On the other hand. Schumann never
published the revolutionary songs in
question. Therefore, acting only as an
interpreter of the composers wishes
Malherbe considers that he would not be
justified in making known a work by
Schumann which Schumann himself
withheld.
The argument against NJ. Malherbe is
that the Importance of any unpublished
and unknown work by Schumann must
perforce be such as to override all other
considerations.
Meanwhile on the strength of Schu-
mann's 1sis revolutionary songs. which
neither it nor any one else but Malherbe

Berlin is joyfully claiming Robert Schu-

Berlin. May 27.-That the famous COM
poser Schumann was a revolutionist has
just been discovered by Berlin Socialists
and the Vorwaerts.
He wrote in 1s4s revolutionary party
songs which have never yet been pub
lished. The discovery has been made
through Charles Malherbe. keeper of the
library of the Paris Opera.
The find has involved several curious
questions of musical history and musical
copyright. 1t is in reality no new dis
covery. Some time ago NJ. Malherbe at a
public sale bought a bundle of manu-
scripts. Among them. to his great sur
prise, he found the score in Schumann's
handwriting of some songs for four male
voices with revolutionary words. evil
IDENTIFY suggested by or composed for the
outbreak of 1SiS all over Europe. The
score was, as far as can be determined,
unknown to the best lovers of Schumann
and had certainly never been published.
NJ. Malherbe refused to show the manu-
script and has continued to refuse to
show it. He gives fairly cogent reasons
for his refusal. On the one hand, the

Election of Mayor Fails on

Berlin, May N.-Four little words have

excitement. You see them as headlines
In all the newspapers. and you hear them

chief mayor
Such a phenomenon was hitherto un-
known in Germany. 1t was one which
nearly every one thought impossible,
when suddenly the news came from
Stuttgart that chances were that the
next mayor of that city would be a So
cialist-
The news came as a terrific shock not
only to the conservatives but even to the
Socialists themselves. A mayor has cer-
tain duties of representation which he
must fulfill during his tenure of office,
and in a city where the king resides he
will be invited to attend ali public festi-
vities at court Some day he gets an
order, and ten or fifteen years later he
is usually knighted.
Were Socliaistic brethren to permit
such a thing?
The bosses of the Socialistic party
in Wurttemberg decided to nominate the

The man engaged a gang Of thirty

Vienna, May "A scene of a dramat-

KAISER TO CHANGE
ESPRIT DE COUP
Present System in German
Army Is Antiquated.

Berlin, May 27.-Measures to relax the
excessively rigid notions Of military honor
held in the German army have been en-
gaging the Kaiser's attention for some
time At present officers for a whole
series Of offenses which are not punish
able by ordinary law are sent before
courts of honor, and II convicted are dis
missed form the service Many Of these
offenses are trifling. and arise from feudal
ideas Of military honor. The dismissal
from the army seriously Injuries an off,
Ger If he tries to embark upon a civil
career.
The Kaiser has resolved to abolish this
anomaly. The courts of honor will re-
main, but an officer will have the choice
whether to appear before them or not.
If his offense is Of kind not punisha BILE
by ordinary law he will have a chance
Of resigning his commission instead Of
being tried; he will simply be listed as
having resigned.
How great this reform will be may be
judged from the fact that many officers
have had their lives ruined owing to ad-
verse judgments Of courts Of honor on
such trifling charges as submitting to
insults from civilians and being in
company with socialists"
