By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. London, Nov. 15.
The Daily News discloses that certain municipal library officials are suppressing many books, including those of Wells, Shaw, Anthony Hope, Bennett, Maxwell, Anatole France, Stacpoole and Eden Philpotts.

Borrowers are closely watched and preventeel from specialising in a certain type of literature.
