The Reason Why

Writes a subscriber from Mokanshan:

I din most delighted to receive my laily ili the past few days, but all, with the exception of the Sunday paper, have only one hal of the paper' in. the wrapper. The part—pages 9—19,—is not_in' the wrapper When I receive It, Byidently it does hot leave Shanghai.

Simple, my dear Watson, simple. So long as we are unable to print a full sized paper, owing to, the cutting off of the gas supply, pages 9 to 18 Will continue to be missing and completely unable to leave Shanghai, This we have to point out in justice to the Post Office which eaimot be blamed for it.

Text read from the printed page and cleaned; old type leaves the occasional error.
