A most amusing incident took place ; last week, which shows the absolute absurdity of the censorship in Italy. The great actor, Ermete Novelli, now in South America, has a son who lives in Florence, to whom was born a bouncing boy. The young Novelli, in haste to let his father know that lit had made him a grandfather, tele giaphed: "Ermeto Novelli, Buenos Ayrcs: Boy. Enrico." Several hours later he was called to the telegraph office, where the following conversation took place: "You know wo could not let your dispatch pass." "Not let it pass! But why, if you please?" "You know you said it was a boy?" "And if I did, what then? Is it not true?" "Well, that is what we do not knowyet." "What! Are yon crazy? I know it'" "Well, anyway, public order demands that it should not bo made ' public." "Made public! Am I making it public by telegraphing to my father? And, in any ease, what has the birth of my son got to do with public order? Excuse me, have you all taken leave of your senses?" "Your son?" gasped the other. "We thought you were telegraphing nbout the queen!" 9n*> of the war correspondents says j that he and his associates spent most of their time at headquarters reading novels.
