French Tobacco Monopoly

From Harper's Weekly
1t is said that the French tobacco
monopoly has netted nearly $4,000, 0OO,- =
OO0 In the 100 years or so during which
1t has been in existence.
On December 20, 1910, decree issued
by Napoleon created the tobacco regle
and reserved to the national govern
manufacture, and sale of tobacco in all
its forms. 1t was estimated that this
monopoly would add so. 900, 900 francs to
the annual receipts from taxation
While this expectation was not imme-
diately realized, few years later the
estimate was more than met The
revenues from that source have contin-
ued to increase as the practice of smol<-
ing has become more general, and the
consumption of high grade cigars and
cigarettes has augmented with the In
creased luxury of living. Then, too.
there must be considered the constantly
increasing number of foreigners who
reside more or less permanently in
France.
From 1911 to 1914 the revenues from
the regle averaged $4,000, 900 francs
s12. 2.159, 9,O00) year. The receipts for
1911 approximated $95.0Oo,0OO
There must be added to this the an.
nual profit of $7387.200 derived from
the monopoly of the manufacture and
sale of matches. 1t is therefore quite
evident that the revenues which are
derived literally from smoke are amnog
the solid and reliable assets of the

Tapestries for Trousers

loss of some precious Gobelin tapestries
presented to it fifty years ago A gov
eminent inspector who was checking the
inventory of the meseum remembrd
these beautiful tapestries and asked
where they We're. After a long search
some of the largest pieces were found in
a cupboard. sewed up in a sack. in which
the caretaker of the museum kept his
cleaning materials.
The man explained that he had no idea
that the tapestries We're valuable Where
were the rest? he was asked He hest
tated a moment and then replied: Il am
sorry, indeed, but my wife used the rest
to line the trousers of my little boy and
myself. The trousers proved to con-

TRAVEL TO EUROPE
LIGHTER THIS YEAR
Steamship Agents Say Fall

Per Cent
From the New York Times.

From the New York Times.
Up to May s, the first cabin passeu-
ger traffic between this port and Europe
was s57 ahead of the same period IN
1912 westbound and 13S bookings ahead
eastbound. The second cabin passenger
traffic showed an increase of $1,000 west
bound and 2434 eastbound from January
/ to May 5. over last year
Traffic eastbound from now on will
be about 30 per cent below last year,
according to the steamship agents. This
they say is chiefly due to the number
of cancellations of bookings made in
january and February by persons who
were suffers by the floods in the middle
west and by the tornado in the Mississ-
ippi valley.
Generally the year of the Presidential
election is a poor one for foreign travel.
but 1912 was a very good year.
Cancellations have been made in the
past few days not only on the older
Atlantic liners but also on the first
cabin bookings of the Imperator Maui
retania and Olympic.
The Atlantic steamship companies
look to the middle west and the west
for the bulk of their summer tourist
traffic. and the sudden falling off in
the demand for cabin accommodations
and the cancellations came as sur
prise to them few more of the op-
timistic agents hope that there will be

according to the various tourist agents.
and there is not much hope of its pick
ing up thie year The biggest party
this summer will be the 1000 persons
who are going to Zurich to attend the
International Sunday School convention
to be held in June. They are to be
taken over by Cooks agency in two
chartered steamships. There will be a
universal exposition at Ghent, Belgium,
which will draw a number of tourists,
and another exposition at Earles Court,
London.
Steamship agents said yesterday that
there had been no falling off in the
second class business. and for the first
time practically in the history of mod
ern travel 1t is very difficult to get a
second class berth on any of the big
liners. Americans of modest means are

New Turn in Krupp's Affairs

The affair of Krupp is likely to take a

by Das Kleine Journal of Berlin. This

ty obtained his material for the attack
on Krupps from Leader Erzberger of the
Clericals who in turn had it from Au-
gust Thyssen, Germany's greatest iron
magnate and that Herr Thyssen was

Censor Overruled

The free-handed days of the Berlin po-
lice censor of cinematograph films. whose
decisions against alleged Objectionable
pictures have caused wrath and disgust
to the movie" managers and amuse-
ment to the rest of Berlin have come to
an end. The superior administrative
court has overrulled his decision prohib-
lting film showing a penniess artist
obtaining 2 free dinner for himself and
family in a restaurant by the expedient
or smuggling a sardine into the pudding
at the end of the meal exhibiting it to
the Mortified waiter and refusing to pay
his check because the pudding was served
in that condition. The censors forbade
the production of the film on the ground
that 1t might encourage other persons to
defraud restaurant keepers.
A number of other vetoes by the police
censor on the ground that the production
OF the film might incite to crime remains
to be acted upon by the superior court.
These include the story of a sicl1ly ten
ement child taken to the country by
kind farmers and cared for until she re-
! gains her health. The time comes to
leave for the city. After bidding her
| benefactors goodbye the child goes into
a nearby garden and plucSs some flow
| ers as a remembrance. The censors for
| bade the film on the ground that it rep
| resented crime-trespass and theft. An
] other film depicted an attack on farmer
/ In his home by robbers, who overpower
| him after struggle rob his house, man
acle the farmer and bind him to the rail-
road tracks, where he is rescued at the
| last moment as a train is bearing down
| on him. The censors' shears eliminated
| that portion of the film. showing the
struggle, the robbery and the binding of
| the man to the tracks. AS a result the
astonished public sees the robbers enter
ing the home and suddenly sees the
farmer, manacled, lying before the on
rushing train.
Inconsistencies Due to Police
In another film the victim smokes
drugged cigar and is robbed while in
stupor. As the public finally saw the pro-
duction the victim and the villain enter
house arm In arm-a flash and the film
goes on to show the former awakening
from a doze on the floor.
1t is against the law in Germany to
appropriate articles found in the street:
instead they must be turned over to the
lost and found bureau of the police For
this reason film which showed a lover
picking up an article dropped by his
aoored one, wrapping 1t up and placing it
next his heart, censored: it repre-
sented the commission of a crime.
1t is reasonably pointed out that were
this same standard applied to the theatre
many of the worlds greatest plays could
no longer be presented on the German
stage. Faust would have to go. Most
of Shakespeare's dramas; the tragedies
of Schiller, "Medea," "Orestes" and the
other Greek plays which are now being
produced at German playhouses, all would
be barred on the ground that they present
the commission of crimes or incitement
thereto. Little will be left of German
repertoires unless the superior court in
terferes, as it has done in the case of the
''pudding-s film.
