PROCLAIMs KERENSKY THE
AUTHOR FALSE STATEMENT.

Stockholm, Wednesday, Nov. a.
Lieutenant Colnel Moravieff, COM
mander of the forces defending Petro-
grad, according TO an undated dis
patch from Haparanda, to the Hag-
ems Nyheter, has issued the follow
ing proclamation:
"Kerensky has circulated a false
rumor that the troops in Petrograd
have gone over voluntarily to the pro-
visional government. The troops of
the free Russian people are not re-
firing and are not surrendering. They
only have evacuated Gatchina in or
der to avoid useless bloodshed and
take defensive position nearer Pet
rograd. 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 prevail in Petrograd.
Besides the cruiser Aurora. the
warships Sarga and Svobody. the
training ship Afrika and six torpedo
boats Of the Baltic fleet have arrived
from Helsingfors and anchored in the
Neva near the Nicholas bridge, in the
center of Petrograd, whence they
can lombard the entire capital. Their
crews are made up of Bolsheviki."

ASSOCIATED PRESS SUMMARY

ASSOCIATED PRESS SUMMARY
With the Russian situation still OBJ
scure, the Italian situation remains
of paramount interest in the world
war news. Everywhere along the
battle front, from Lake Garda east
ward, and thence southwark along the
Piaye to the Adriatic, the Italians are
holding the enemy in check, except on
a hilly region in the vicinity of
Asiago pleateau, where additional
gains were made by the invaders.
From the maze of reports concern
ing the Russian situation, it is i'm
possible to disentangle one trust
worthy statement One has Petro-
grad in flames; another, that 1000
persons were killed in Moscow streets
and another that coalition govern
nent was formed in Moscow.
Indications in today's dispatches
from the Italian front are that the
Italian line is still holding on the
Piave and on tts critical Trentino
front, while the Strengthening out
process is being continued along the
salient between the upper Piave and
the Sugana valley, on the edge of the
Trentipo district. Berlin's statement
Piave, where the Italian reports have
shown attempts by the Austro-Ger-
man forces to pierce the river line and
compel its abandonment and the con-
sequent loss of Venice by the Ital-
ians. It has been pointed out that
every day this line is held counts
heavily in Italy's favor, as the Anglo
French contingent in Italy will soon
be on the fighting line to support the
Italian army. The Rome war office
statement today throws a still more
favorable light on the situation from
the entente viewpoint. The frustra-
ton of new attempts by the invaders
to cross the Piave is reported, while
the comparatively small parties
which previously had secured a foot
ing on the west side of the river have
been held fast virtually in their
cracks.
Continuation of the German ad-
vance is announced in the hill region
south of Fonzaso and Feltre, where
Rome comedies the retirement of ad-
vanced posts to previously prepared
positions. 1t is in this section that
the Italian line forms an awkward
salient in its east and west extension
from the Piave, and there have been
indications for several days that the
Italians were drawing out of it.
Berlin makes no claim to further
advances in the Trentino, where the
Italians are holding the Hill region
safely so far against the threat of
the drive aimed at the Venetian plain
to outflank the Piave line.

FLORIDA RAILROAD
WANTS QUIT BUSINESS
Special to The Journal

Tallahassee, Nov. 15-The entire
railroad commission returned this af
ternoon from Ocala where YESTERDAY
they heard petition from the Ockla-
waha Valley Railroad Company t1
cease operations on that road and dis
continue the line. The railroad claims
and shows by its books that for the
past two years it has not paid operat-
ing expenses, to say nothing of any
interest on investment, losing over
eighteen thousand dollars in the past
twelve months. The road wishes to po
out of business on December first. the
owners saying they do not propose to
go down in their pockets any longer
to operate the business.
1t is the first time that such a ne
tition aas been placed before the
Florida railroad commission.
Representatives of the Ocala and
Palatka boards of trade were present
as well as citizens of Fort MCCOY
and Rodnan, who thought they wou]d
be able to give the road more freight
In future if the commission would
deny said petition. S. j. Hilburn and
Fl. NJ. Hampton represented the PAL
atka and Ocala boards of trade re-
spectively.
The commission reserved its decision
in the matter, but will probably an
nounce the same tomorrow, it was

CONVENTIONS
in TIE CASE
VERY UNUSUAL
AN INTERESTING AFTERMATH
OF THE LATE GULF COAST
HURRICANE FIGURES IN U. S.
COURT PROCEEDINGS.

No cases were tried in open cours
in the federal court yesterday. al
though the entire morning was con-
sumed in hearing arguments in the
case of the American Tie and Timber
Co. VS.. Flowers. Counsel for both
parties appeared before Judge Shep-
pard in chambers and presented the
case of their clients.
The suit involves a contract for GUS
ting crossties, valued at several thou
sand dollars, and is an interesting
aftermath of the hurricane which
swept the Gulf coast on Sept. Goth,
damaging much Of the timber
It appears that last March one
Shivers, who has since become con-
nected with the American Tie and
Timber Company, made a. contract
with Flowers to cut ties on $4,000
acres of land, which timber was speci-
fled and limited to "dead and down.
timber.
All went well between the parties
to the contract until the storm of
Sept. goth, which played havoc with
the standing trees on the land en-
braced in the contract.
The tie company, reckoning itself
exceedingly fortunate, enlarged its
IOrCeS ana increased ltS operations
to make crossties out of the 'down"
timber. Flowers, being unwilling to
concede the timber then felled by act
of God, insisted that the contract con.
templated only the "dead and down.
timber at the time of its execution,
and interposed objections to the re-
newed energies of the company. and
insists that it has no claim or right
to the timber felled by the unusual
and unprecedented catastrophe of
last September.
The case was argued at length. and
large numbers of citations submitted
on both sides. Judge Sheppard has
not yet rendered q decision.

off with heavy losses.
"Since early morning fighting has
