This is the first time that call for

COMPLAINTS OF CENSORSHIP
AN Official Conspiracy Against Let
ting the Truth Be Known

London, Jam. 12.-Friday, 4 a. m.l-
Lee-Metford cartridges are running
short in the British magazines, and, ec-
cordmg to a Scmi-official report, the War
Office purposes to fall back temporarily
upon 100,000,000 'mark w. expanding
bullets, most of which are already in
storage i'm South Africa.
The War Office, however, has issued
a strict order to the volunteers that the
fifty rounds of mark W. given them
must be issued in practice at home, none
being taken to South Africa
After the public announcement that no
such bullet would be used in this war.
its employment, the Daily Chronicle
thinks, would be a serious breach of faith
especially as the British commanders
have complained that the Beers Occa-
sionally use such projectiles.
The newspapers We're reconciled dur
ing the early days of the war to cabel
censorship, taking it for granted that full
narratives sent by mail would supply
all deficiencies. For some weeks, how
ever, even the mail correspondence that
has arrived in London has shown signs
of habitual scissoring by the censor
Pages are remembered without chrono-
logical or logical connection, leaving the
happenings described quite gmintelligi-
bic i'm many cases. The editors, acting
possibly in concert are laying these facts
before the public and insisting that they
be permitted to know and to print the
facts.
The Daily Mail formally accuses the
War Office of ''doctoring'' in editing off
oial dispatches before their issuance and
cites particulars. The Daily Chronicle
AYERS that there seems to be an official
conspiracy against letting the truth be
known.
Time lis working now for the Boers.
Each day makes more difficult the three
beleaguered positions.

confirm the report that Lord Methuen
has been recalled to England, inquiries

THE CURRENCY BILL.

The Currency Bill was then taken up

He discussed the financial conditions

THE passage of this bill will bring
this question sQuarely before the Ameri-

he said, ''an effort was made by Aguin-
