action was in line with the established

were done by destroying tunnels. a
long time would be required to restore
traffic. Meanwhile British subjects

Japan Censors Books.

In Japan the censorship Of novels is
not exercised by the libraries, but by
government official who is empower
ed to prosecute offending authors as
well as forbid the sale OF their books.
Not long ago the author OF japanese
novel called The Great city was
brought before the courts for giving
too realistic Il description of life in To
kyo. His counsel used the old argu-
ments about the indefensible rights of
literature and the ennobllng of every
thing by art But the case was given
against the author. Even some of
Moliere's works have been forbidden
to circulate in Japan, the ground of
offense being the lack Of respect shown
by wives toward their husbands and
by sons toward their fathers.

MEAT PRICES TO SOAR
Big Grain Crop viii Not Afford Any
Relief, Say Packers.

Meat prices will rise above the rec
ord figures of recent years despite
the huge grain crop, Chicago packing
house representatives asserted. They
say that the present scarcity of cattle
and the effect of dry weather on
grazing lands will more than Offset
the enormous grain yield.
A beef price of 16 c,nts to the
butcher was predicted as an early pos
sibility and it was pointed out by one
of the packing house men that cattle
even now are higher than for some
time. Scarcity of grass-fed cattle was
referred to as one cause for the pre-
dicted advance.
The dry summer in the west last
year is the chief cause of the present
scanty supply on the hoof. Another
factor is that the demand for meat
exceeds the supply.
