.NASCAGN| WRITES OPERA ON,NEW LINES
Substitutes Symbolic Repre- sentatiOns for Personalities Usually Introduced in
 Such Works

<. Rome, June 10.-Pietro Maseagni. known to everyone as the composer of Cavalleria Rusticana and numerous other musical works, has written a new opera. "1l Piccola Marat" which is characterized here as distinctly a revolutionary step in operatic works. It contains no personalities as char acters in the story but it substitutes X or them symbolic representations of Virtues and ideals similar to the Amer jean pageant
 T expect to produce my new opera next winter in Rome said Signor Mas cagni to the Associated Press corre- spondent. The theme is found on the conflict of ideas between the autocrat and the democrat, between oppression and freedom. The time of 1t, of course IS not limited to any one period The opera is symbolic of many periods and would just as readily apply to the stirring times of the American revo- lution as 1t would to the French revo- lution, or the Russian, or Bavarian
 "I have no characters in the produc- ton representing any particular per sonalities. There is no Napoleon. Met ternich or Gariba1di. My chafacters represent the ideas for which men have striven and also the ideas which have endeavored to keep man in subjection There is a character for Justice, for Truth. for Freedom, and, on the other hand, for Tyranny, for Ignorance, for Wrong.

FINANCES CAUSE
 WILHELM WORRY
Has Plenty of Ready Money, But Estates in Germany
 Require Large Sums
 Hx Associated Rress

By Associated Fress 1 Ameron gen, June 1.-The former Ger 1 man emperor has been discussing his financial problems for more than a week with nr. J. Kriege. who has been in charge of the imperial estate and funds
 in Germany since the Hohenzollern ab- dication.
 Dr. Kriege one of the former German functionaries of the German foreign of flee, has been here in conference with Herr Hohenzollern when the latter was not engaged in wood saving. The mar shal If the German emperors court, Won Gontard, also participated in the discus
 sions.
 The former emperor is not short of money, as he possessed a considerable amount on deposit in Holland before war began. This was added to appreciably
 while hostilities were in progress. Dur
 ing the few stirring weeks preceding his abdication. William and his followers
 transferred further large sums in ready cash
 But William Is troubled as to the fate of his real estate. He possessed no fewer than 5 castles, hunting boxes and
 country seats scattered over the empire
 The revenues of these properties are for
 the present at least in the hands of the new government. which hitherto has paid
 from their proceeds all Herr Hohenzol- lern's bills, forwarded to Berlin for set clement These accounts have been quite formidable, as the imperial refugee is called upon to pay for everything he consumes, as well as for his accommoda- ton and the upkeep of his suite besides paying the wages of the gardeners and domestics of the Beninck estate, who render him services while wood cutting or in the household.
 The expenses of the Dutch guard of gendarmes on duty around the castle also fall on the Hohenzollern purse.
 The German governments intentions concerning the former emperor's private fortune cannot De gieaned here. Germans recently from the Fatherland declare there is great deal of purely personal sympathy for William among all classes, and that it is likely he will receive a.
 large portion of the value of what he owned They say 1t is probable that most of the castles and country houses will be sold and the cash result paid to Williams account, but a number of them may be retained as government property to be used for the purposes of local government headquarters. This they consider an equitable arrangement which will not deprive the ex-monarch Of his rights as a private citizen, as they believe, would be the case if his property were confiscated

At times, after each "bloop," would cona the sharp click of the bill as it rapidly opened and shut

The German peace commissioners
have refused to sign the peace treaty
submitted by the Allies. The reason
assigned is that the terms are so
drastic that nothing worse than sign
ing could possibly happen to the Ger
man nation. If Germany persists in
refusing to agree to the terms offered
an awkward predicament will con-
front the Allies. They will have to
police the entire country with mil
lions of soldiers and finance the oper-
alton at an expense of billions of dol
lars. 1t is probable that after an OBJ
stinate play for softening of terms
Germany will sign the treaty, but
this action is by no means certain.
To the superficial observer Germany
is at the feet of her conquerors and
must take what she can get, but the
peace commissioners of the Allies in
dulge no such feeling of certainty.
