Are composers short-Lived?

It is somewhat striking to note that a number of great musicians were af- fiicted with physical inirmities. Mo zart, who only lived to the age of thir- ty-five, died of consumption. Schu- mann, who died at the age of forty six, was for some years before his death confined in an asylum.
 Beethoven reached the age of fifty seven, but for many years previous to his death this great man of music was quite deaf. Mendelssohn died at the age of thirty-six, Schubert at thirty- one. Weber at forty, Chopin at forty. Purcell at thirty-seven. and Bellini at thirty-three. There are. of course q few exceptions. Bach, Haydn and Handel all outlived their three-score years and ten. The latter, however, was for some years totally blind.

Did a Fine Job,

In the Woman's Home Companion c. H. Claudy says: Whoever did the calculating for a baseball field made fine job of it. It takes just so long to run from home plate to first, and it takes just about that long, less a tiny fraction of a second, for the average ball to be fielded by the average short stop and hurled down to the big init waiting for it. The least slip, hesita- ton, juggle, or wait, and the umpire is going to spread his palms down for q 'safe.'"

Sources of Spanish Law.

The sources of Spanish law are di- rectly, the code Napoleon and the vari- ous customs or fuerOs of the different provinces of the peninsula, handed down for many generations until they obtained the full force and effect of legal enactment; and, indirectly, .he vast and comprehensive compilation of Justinian, from which all nations of medieval and modern times have, to greater or less degree, derived the In- spiratiOn of their rules for the regula- ton and government of their private relations and public life.

to stir up Italian sentiment against
Baron Sonnino the minister Of foreign
affairs, whom he attacked vigorously.
Diplomacy Too Clumsy.
Count Won Hertling's real meaning
seemed rather too obvious even for the
Germans and his diplomacy too clumsy.
Regarding Germany's inner reforms he
referred vaguely to tho new spirit
brought into Prussian hearts by the
war: but in spite of this new spirit he
declined to recommend any change in
the old constitution. since that was
what kept the empires present nom
parliamentary institutions together.
Most observers find 1t hard to sec
what reform can be achieved unless
the constitution Is altered. Hertling's
refusal to consent to any change In
dicates tho measure OF his sincerity
as regards reform.
What Germany expects now Is an an
swer from Nikolai Lenine regarding
the sending of plenipotentaries either
to Berlin or Stockholm. 1t is believed
that this step will soon be taken.

AMSTERDAM. Holland, December l.
Chancellor Won Hertling's first appear
anee before the reichstag seems, from
the German standpoint, to have been a
success. though on second thought the
German critics are inclined to the opin-
ion that his speech lacked strength
and brought out nothing except what
everybody knows.
The chancellor caused the greatest
stir by his announcement that Germany
Is ready to negotiate with the Russian
maximalists, which many people in the
fatherland. especially among the inde-
pendent socialists, consider highly i'm
prudent. especially as the entente does
not recognize the Lenine government
as legitimate.
Might Have Been Stoned.
But Germany's desire for peace even
on one front is so strong that Count
Won Hertling would have been stoned
had he told the reichstag that the gov
ernment had rejected the Russian truce
proposal The rest of the speech con-
tanned little more than the common
places which have become almost

the new German government. having
practically caused Russia to drop out OF
the entente. will now try to achieve
the same result with France ana possi-

succeeded in bringing together her ad-
versaries at the conference table she
would come out with impossible claims,
reckoning that the people, being tired
of war and prepared for far-reaching
sacrifices, would not give their states
men the support necessary to refute
German demands. On this account II
has been said, it would be necessary
for Germany's enemies to continue the
fight until Germany was forced to
make a detailed statement Of her terms.
IF our adversaries are anxious to
know what our aims are" he contin-
ued, this matter is very simple indeed
There is sufficient number Of ways at
their disposal. History has not fur
nished a single example of any great
diplomatic assembly purporting to set
been convened without previously hav-
ing informed itself as to the intentions
of the parties concerned"
Germany, said DR.. Won Kuehlmann,
as regards the western powers. under
pressure of our recent successes. he
added:
'.Those in favor of war to the extreme
have come out into the open. demand
ing victory and nothing but victory.
How they intend to use this victory Is
shown by the secret document pub
lished by the Russian government.
Lansdowne Letter Hopeful.
The secretary referred to the letter of
the Marquis Of Lansdowne. saying:
TT may be that Lansdowne's letter can
be taken as a hopeful sign that even in
England the forces Of moderation are
gaining ground. But today" he con-
tinued. 'it is certain that the Pope's
message is receiving no response from
the western powers and that France and
England are resolved to rely only on
violence. Therefore the German people
will stand up and be prepared to beat
force with force until the dawn of the
better and more humane understanding
which is beginning to appear in the east
ern sky shall arise in the nations of the
west, which are as yet filled with greed
for money and power"
In reply to a question DR.. Won Kuehl-
mann said rumors that Rumania was
about to offer to enter the negotiations
for peace had not been confirmed. He
referred to the fact that part Of Ru-
mania is still in the hands of Rumanian
troops, and said this army might con-
tinue to wage war in the unconquered
territory at its own risk. If Rumania
should decide to negotiate, the foreign
secretary added. 1t would be necessary
to conduct separate negotiations.
