STOCKHoLD, Wednesday, Nov. Il.
Lieut. Col Mouravieff. commander
Of the forces defending Petrograd, ac-
cording to an undated dispatch from
Haparanda to the Dagens Myheter, has
issued the following proclamation:
"Kerensky has circulated a false
rumor that the troops in Petrograd
have gone over voluntarily to the pro-
visional government The trops of the
free Russian people are not retiring
and are not surrendering. They only
have evacuated Catchina in order to
avoid useless bloodshed and ia a de-
fensiVe position nearer Petrograd.
The position now is strong enough to
resist forces ten times as strong as
Kerensky's. Our troops are in the
best Of spirits. Order and calm pre-

Beside the cruiser Aurora the war
ships Sarga and Svobody, the training

BOARDING OF
SUGAR CAUSES
FAMINE HERE
Farmers and City-Dwellers
Lay In Stock BY Barrels
Cambridge Hit.

The sugar supply Of Wayne county
has practically been exhausted.
Over one-half the retail grocery
stores in Richmond are witohut sugar
and the three Richmond wholesale
grocery stores have no sugar.
Cambridge City is without sugar and
a similar condition exists in Boston,
Ind. Other Wayne county towns have
very little sugar.
Hoardlng to Blame
Hoarding of sugar on the part OF a
number of householders, both in the
towns and in the rural districts, has
had much to do with bringing about
the county's sugar famine. according
to statements by representatives Of
Richmond jobbing concerns.
A large number OF farmers. 1t is
stated, have purchased sugar by the
barrels in recent weeks, while quite
number of residents of Richmond
and the other towns have been busily
engaged in purchasing all the sugar
that they could obtain. In conse-
quence Of this abnormal sugar buying
the market supply was rapidly de-
pleted.
Although the government encourages
the householder who conserves his
supply Of perishable eatables the rule
against the boarding of such staples
as sugar and flour applies the same to
individuals as it does to dealers in
foodstuffs.
| Only few days ago H. E. Barnard,
state food director, Indianapolis, Is
sued statement requesting that re-
PORTS be made to him of all individuals
and busines concerns who have been
boarding staple foodstuffs.

Under a recent ruling of the Unit.
! ed States Food Commission this sec.
tion Of the country can use only beet
! sugar until the new Cuban cane sugar
crop is marketed, some time after the
first of the year.
Regulations of the food control com.
mission also provide that dealers in
