JS 799. — -AILY RECORD, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1908. GENERAL NEWS. (Continued from page 2.) A later telegram, dated yesterday, states that at half-past 9 o’clock on Sunday evening the Minister for Public Works, M. Barthou, visited the scene of the fire, where he received a report from the Pre fect of Police as to the measures that had been taken to cope with the blaze. The Commandant of Paris was also present. The important documents and the accumulators have been saved. At 11.30 p. m. the firemen appeared to have mastered the flames. M. Barthou said it was impossible as yet to fix the time at which telephonic communication would be re-established. The fire is supposed to have been due to a short circuit. At 1 o’clock in the morn ing the fire was nearly extinguished, and the troops and firemen were being gradually withdrawn. The Post Office department will do its best to establish • provisional means of communication with the princi pal cities, at least during the Bourse hours, and first of all with London. FATAL RIOTING IN AUSTRIA. Laibach, September 20. Rioting occurred here last night, and the ser vices of cavalry were requisitioned. The troops were pelted with stones and glasses by the Slovenes, but no one was hurt, and the only material damage done was the breaking of the windows in two Ger man restaurants. The demonstrations were renewed this evening on the Marien Platz, where the troops answered the stone-throwing with a volley, which killed two and wounded four of the demonstrators, two more of whom received sabre wounds. THE CHOLERA IN RUSSIA. St. Petersburg, September 20. In the past week 1,456 cases of cholera and 439 deaths occurred in the capital and its suburbs. Since the beginning of the epidemic there have been 1,653 cases and 492 deaths in that area. In other places the total number of cases last week was 3,390 and the number of deaths 1,377, as com pared with 2,465 cases and 1,120 deaths. In the whole of Russia there have been 10,359 cases and 4,633 deaths since the first case was reported. THE MOROCCAN CRISIS. Paris, September 19. The Agence Havas states that since the closing of the Chambers 3,000 men of the force landed on Moroccan territory have left Casablanca, and 1,000 are awaiting shipment. By the end of October 3,000 more will have sailed; and there will remain 8,000, who will be brought back to France by de grees as the organization of the new police with native horsemen proceeds. London, September 21. The Times publishes a report from its corres pondent at Teheran that the Shah answered the Anglo-Russian Note on Saturday. The Times learns from good authority that the answer is unsatis factory, and amounts practically to a refusal to re new the Constitution, so long as the province of Aserbeidschan remains unsubdued. LONDON LETTER. (From our own correspondent.) London, September 19. The report from the Joint Select Committee on Lotteries and Indecent Advertisements has been made public in the form of a Blue-Book. If the recommendations of the committee are carried into effect, and there is every reason to believe that they will be, the measures they suggest will cut at the root of the wholesale gambling organized by a number of newspaper proprietors. The particular craze which stimulated the authorities to appoint a committee of inquiry has practically died of in anition, but it is being revived in other forms. Limericks are no longer popular, mainly on ac count of a growing mistrust as to the bona fide character of the awards. A number of cases in the law courts have tended to prove, what every reasonable person must have realized at the outset, that it is quite impossible to select a single line of surpassing merit from tens of thousands of lines submitted; and that therefore awards must have been made either after purposeless scrutiny or, more fortuitously still, to one of a number of competitors whose lines were slightly better than the average. While the craze was alive and Limericks were upon everybody’s lips, one never heard the end of stories of glaring injustice; and I have really seen lines that had remained unrewarded which, in the opinion of any ordinarily intelligent man, were far better than any of the winning lines. Indeed, it is not too much to say that awards have been made on the whole according to the cheapest standards of popular taste and mainly with regard to the greatest number of puns in a single line; and, though the competitors and the judges did not vary greatly in their general character in most of the “Limerick” journals, there was an appreciable difference in the character of the awards. Thus the same mixed com pany, if one may judge from the published names of the winners and the proxime aceessit groups, competed in, let us say, Public Opinion, Answers, and Ideas. In the published awards it became clear that Public Opinion, Answers, and Ideas each regard their public rather differently, the tone of these journals descending in the soale of vul garity more or less in the above order. More difficult than legislation against Limerick competitions in the press is the proposed attack on the foreign lottery circulars (and we get not a few from Germany) which are usually sent over in large batches and then posted in this country. It is neither possible nor desirable for the Postmaster- General to open suspected envelopes, nor is it likely that the Home Secretary’s warrant enabling him to do so would be exercised in such a cause. Further, it would be difficult to strike the lottery organizers abroad through their agents here, since the negotiations could still be conducted without the latter. But something should certainly be done to prevent journals like Answers from offering “Pre mium Bonds” to its readers on the strength of a guessing competition, which is not quite a lottery in the eyes of the law. The second subject with which the committee have been dealing, that of indecent advertisements, has for some time been challenging public atten tion. Politicians and others in this country are well aware of the ironical scepticism common abroad with reference to any paternal interference on the part of Government in regulating private morality. The contrast between the puritanical spirit of Eng lish life and the over-worldliness of London aiTd the great provincial cities is pointed out with com mendable zest and frequency. Possibly Govern ment cannot do much once the whole temper of a nation has become corroded, but the little it can do to prevent matters from getting worse than they are it should and must do. One would be sorry to call London a more immoral place than it was twenty years ago; yet one has to admit the existence of sights and amusements which did not exist here twenty years ago and which have been introduced here from abroad. If by suppressing some of the more objectionable of these appeals to the prurience of youth the Govern ment were to be accused of grandmotherliness and petty prudishness, it would have the consolation of knowing that it had done its best to tackle a serious problem of national welfare. The law with regard to obscene publications, whether in the way of subject-matter or reproductions of drawings and photographs, is clear enough. Difficulties arise, however, when magistrates are called upon to con vict offenders, since it is an invidious task to de cide where an indecent suggestion actually appears. Thus, while much flagrant indecency is checked or utterly suppressed, there is a great deal of veiled, elusive but quite unmistakable indecency which scarcely offers a point of attack and might easily be made to turn the tables on the magistrate by attributing prurience not to the object but to the observer. Moreover, such subtle immorality is in reality worse than frank impropriety, and gives a handle to the charge of hypocrisy so often brought against the English. Contrast the mutoscopes in many public places, the jokes of the music-hall, and the wares displayed in many shops around Leicester Square and the Strand with the pious agitation raised against the Strand statues some weeks ago, and you begin to understand why Frenchmen and others, accustomed to the haphazard laisser-faire principles of other states in these matters, are inclined to smile at our moral pro fessions. local postal authorities, some 74,000 men and women in all, informing them of their duties in respect of old-age pensions generally, and giving them the rules according to which forms of application are to be filled in. The Post Office will have to be lucid in its directions if it is to reach the intelli gence of the typical country postmaster or post mistress within a reasonable period. Only those who have experienced the agony of ten minutes’ hope less inquiry upon an unusual point at a small country office can realize how few country Post Office officials devote themselves to their official duties by way of recreation. Often enough, their serious duty in life is the management of a minia ture Whiteley’s, in which the smell of groceries and turpentine prevail. n DRESDEN German lessons gi v * en b y experienced lady teacher.

On Wednesday four more suffragettes were re leased from Holloway, and yesterday the last of the present batch regained her liberty. It is to be hoped that enthusiasts in the cause were not entirely repelled by the somewhat ridiculous spectacle of twelve women dragging four others in a landau, decorated with purple and white heather, from Holloway to Queen’s Hall. Yesterday, I hear, the last of the martyrs, a Scotswoman, had an escort attired in native costume. According to Mrs. Pethick Lawrence, who spoke at Wednesday’s breakfast in Queen’s Hall, the next active “move” is to take place on October 13 (apparently the Women’s Social and Political Union discards superstitions). That will be the day following the meeting of Parlia ment, and will be appropriate as demonstrating that the Union does not intend to lose time. Mr. Asquith is to be asked whether the Government propose to sup port a Woman Enfranchisement Bill, to be intro duced within the session. What will happen if Mr. Asquith refuses to promise support or even to be approached is not disclosed. Perhaps we can guess. In less than a week the country will know that it has a scheme of old-age pensions. Information on the subject will be obtainable through the Post Office, and consequently the Post Office has been busy preparing a vast mass of printed matter which is to be placarded in every part of the realm. Already premonitory bills have appeared, but next Thursday 50,000 large bills will be sent out in forming the public “how to apply for an old-age pension.” Printed instructions will be sent to the pension Xosmos SchnorrStrasse 14,1.«II.
