Such attempts at repression as have

be of frequent occurrence. Near Chin

Fare said to he worse. Recently man
who was acting as spy on the rob-
beers was found by the roadside with
his heart cut out. The brigands have
established regular tariff of black

that the people compound with the
robbers and agree not to report and
prosecute on the promise of future

IT appears that 1t has been the GUS
tom to take girls into the court from
the age of ten, and henceforth through
out the whole period of their natural
lives they were never allowed to leave
the precincts Of the palace. so that
they lived In absolute Ignorance of the
outside world. The few who accom-
panied the Emperor on his recent tour
gave evidence OF the timidity which
had resulted from their long confine-
ment, for they could hardly be per-
suaded to enter the train, and they
finally did so with manifest trepida-
ton. Hitherto the influence of these
ladies at court. has been very great.
Having constant access TO the ear OF
the Sovereign, on the one hand, and
being on the other accessible

While repeated ATTEMPTS to paeH =

ship in New York have always ended
In failure, the city now has board
OF censors which effectively Requisites
one important field of theatrical en-
tertalnment not only for the Metropo
lis but for the whole country. This
censoring authority was created how
ever. not by legal enactment but by
cooperation between the Peoples In
stitute and the Motion Picture Patents
Company. an organization including
the companies that produce nine-tentlfs
OF all the views exhibited In the sev
throughout the country. This action
was taken because of objections to the
character of some OF the scenes dis
played. AS a result, although the
standing OF the censors Is entirely ex-
ira -ofiicial no scenes are sent cut ~
any OF the principal manufacturers OF
films Unless they first receive the APP
provai OF the board OF censors. The
task Of the latter Is by no means easy
for they have to examine several miles
Of films each week. AS fourteen sep
arate pictures pass the ego each mo-
ment while the machines are IN mo-
ton, the censors thus far have look
ed upon a trifle OF $3.50, 900. 600 PIC

films that have passed under their m
spection. This is a record that shnpld
