CENSORSHIP OF BOOKS
NOW GERMAN LEGISLATION. MUCH OPPOSITION EXPRESSED. (Freu Aseociation—By Telegraph—Copyright.) BERLIN, December 4. (Received Dec. 5, at 5.5 p.m.) The Reichstag, by 250 votes to 158, adopted a Bill to check the publication of trashy and immoral books and magazines exercising a prejudicial effect on German youth. The Socialists and Communists declare that the adoption of the Bill is a black day for German culture. Other opponents, including prominent writers, fear the suppression of works of real literary merit, and declare that wellknown classics, and even the Bible, will be banned.—A. and N.Z. Cable.
