England Shuts Out
American Meats,

London, Dec. 15.-The British gov
eminent has decided to exclude all the
American meat packers against whom
prosecutions nave been instituted in
the United States from rendering for
contracts for the supply Of meat to
the British army and navy, pending
the settlement of the suits.
The decision of the government is
due to the opposition of labor and adj
vanced radical members of Parlia-
ment TO the American trusts.
The contracts given out by the war
office, which had hitherto been Sc
cured by American firms, are now ex-
pected to go to Argentina meat pack

Pekin, Dec 15.-Fighting continues in
the vicinity of Shi kai Chwang. The
commander of the Imperialist troops
there recently asked the government TO
send him $4,000 Mexican with which to
pay the troops. He received a reply
promising him $4,000. The money was
not forthcoming, however, and as dis
content among his troops was spreading
he seized the opportunity to break the
armistice which was in effect and to
take his men into action and keep them
engaged until the funds with which to
pay them arrive.
Elsewhere in the empire all is reported
quiet. Interest now seems centered in
the approaching peace conference which
will be held at Shanghai on the arrival
there of Tang Shao VI the representa-
tive Of Yuan Shi Kai.

1t was explained by officials of the
war office, this afternoon, that the
government action regarding Ameri-

with its regular policy. In case any
company with which the government
dealt became involved in serious liti-

RETAINED from giving contracts TO
that company while the litigation
continued. British firms received the
same treatment under the same con-
ditions.
There is little doubt. that the admit

A wife is decided addition to the

sense. however sensible and managing
she may be. she is expensive. But
everything worth having has its price
of one sort or another. and there are
some things which cost much without
which life is hardly worth living.

making some self denial when they

such and such expensive pleasures.
