Germans Demand Reforms.

COPENHAGEN, via London, March
2s--The demand for the immediate in
PRODUCTION of internal reforms in Ger
many. particularly in Prussia, which
the socialist and radi .al parties have
been advocating for months, has re-
ceived a strong impetus from the Rus
sian revolution.
The press organs of these parties.
notably the Berlin Vorwaerts, declare
that Russia's revolt to democracy
leaves Germany and Austria-Hungary
alone among the belligerents as repre-
sentatives of parliamentary re-
gimes, and necesstates German reforms
without waiting for the end of the
war, as Chancellor Won Bethmann Holl-
veg advocates.
The Vorwaerts declares that other
wise the conviction of the entente ma
the freedom of the world against anti
quated modes of government will grow
stronger and stronger. In Wednesday
mornings leader the Voerwaerts at
tacks the chancellor on this score
more vigorously than at any time since
the paper passed into the control OF
the moderate socialists.
1t abaudons entirely the attitude OF
support which the socialists under
Scheidemann's leadership have been
extending to the chancellor and en-
ploys the sharp language of ante
bellum days. The attitude of the other
socialist papers also leaves little doubt
that a campaign on this issue is abou,
to be lannched in the reichstag.

Copying News Not Unlawful.

'It is perfectly consistent with fair

that any one should copy news from
any published newspaper or bulletin
board and use it any way in which the
public ordinarily uses information. In
other words. copying news is not un-
lawful in and of itself, and the defend
ant therefore argues that it is not un-
lawful even when done systematically

age of complainant's labor and ex-
penditure without any payment there

Federal Court Holds The
Stealing of News Is
"Unfair Competition

NEW YORK, March 29.-The applica-
ton of the Associated Press for writ
of injunction, restraining the Interna-
tional News Service from appropriating
complainant's news at any time prior to
publication by compliments members,
was granted by Judge Augustus N.
Hand in the federal district court to-
day.
January 4 the Associated Press,
through its general counsel filed a bill
Of complaint In the United States dis
trict court for the southern district of
New York against the International
News Service, alleging that the Interna-
tional News Service was engaged in pirat-
ing the news Of the Associated Press by
bribing employees of Associated Press
Newspapers to give them the news of
The Associated Press before publica-
ton, and also by taking from Associated
Press newspapers, as fast as their vari-
Gus editions appeared, Associated Press
dispatches and sending them out as
their own.
News Furnished to I. N S.
Affidavits in support of the bill of COM
plant were filed showing that in the Of
flee of the Evening News of Cleveland.
Ohio, the telegraph editor of the News
was secretly in the pay of the mterna-
tional News Service and was furnishing
that organization with the substance of
Associated Press news diSpa tches as soon
as received. and that in the Office of the
New York American representatives of
the international News Service were per-
cd tn aS inea iat
as fast as received.
1t was also disclosed that number of
papers receiving the service of the In
ternational News Service followed almost
instantly the appearance of Associated
Press dispatches with like kilograms
credited to the international News Serv-
ice. sometimes textually repeating them
and sometimes rephrasing them.
Declared Unfair Competition.
The action was not brought under any
copyright law, but upon the principle of
unfair competition, and the common law
property right in news was invoked. The
case came on for argument upon a motion
to show cause why an injunction should
not issue. Thereafter numerous affidayits
seeking to deny the practices were filed
by the defendant, and still later affidav;ts
in rebuttal were presented by the Asso-
ciated Press. The case was submitted to
the court January 80.
The case has aroused widespread in
terest both in newspaper circles and in
the legal profession. In it's brief the As
sociated Press holds that:
1T is entirely immaterial whether the
defendant gets our news by stealing it. by
bribing employees in confidential relation.
by inducing breaches of contract by our
members Gall of which are acts in and of
themselves subject to injunction on indie
pendent ground), or by voluntary revela-
ton from our employees, or by taking it

and expenditure free of cost, and deprive
us thereof. and so theaten the very exis-
