Exports of Flour Will Be Handled BY
Food Board.

sion of the United States food admins.

tive Immediately, that all direct trad
ing by American millers, exporters and
blenders of -four with European coun-
tries is prohibited This business will be
handled hereafter only by the food ad.
ministration.
The new regulations were made, II
was stated, "to effect proper control and
to centralize the handling of exports OF
-four to European neutrals," and in order
to protect the interest of consumers
who have necessarily had to pay rela-
lively high price for -four purchased in
very small packages"
1t also was announced that effective
Dec. all flour millers operating under
agreement with the federal food admin
istration "will not be permitted to sell
-four in packages of other than one

miller will be permitted to ship -four in
packages other than these described"

may temporarily disturb established
grade customs, but it is believed that in
districts of congested population the re-
taller will meet the situation to some
extent by the sale of -four from bulk
packages in the grocers' sacks

KERENSKY SHOWED
LACK OF SENSE
In Blaming British Fleet for Not Enter
ing the Baltic, Says Gen. Gurko
of the Russian Army.

London, Nov. 3.General Gurko of the
Russian army, who arrived recently in
England, says in an interview that Pre-
mier kerensky showed lack of political
sense and tact in blaming the British
fleet for not entering the Baltic. He de-
clared that such an entry was not only
impossible but could not have been car
ried out in time to prevent the Germans
from landing on the islands of the Gulf
of Riga.
The Petrograd correspondent of the
Daily Telegraph, now in London, writes
that Premier Kerensky's statement seems
to have been taken little too serious
ly in some quarters, Probably all he
wished was to indicate facts familiar to
close students of Russia 1t is true that
Russia is worn out. Unfortunately until
the outbreak of the revolution military
exigencies prevented the truth from be-
ing told about Russia's share in the war
which has been greatly underestimated.

GERMAN ARMY TO ENTRENCH
On the Tagliamento Just as They Did in
France

Geneva, Switzerland, Nov. 3.--Swiss
soldiers stationed on the Alpine heights
on the frontier in the canton of Grisons
report that since the Germans captured
Udine, the number of troop trains going
in the direction of Trent has been dou-

heavy artillery trains are passing the
Germans make smoke curtains at ex-

guns being ascertained by onlookers.
The Swiss soldiers declare there is
every evidence that the Germans were
surprised by their success against the
Italians, but intend to take every advan-
tage of the situation and are preparing
to entrench on the Tagliamento as they
did on the Marne in the event of a fail
ure in their forward movement.

thrown into the Winooski river between

pinned under the machine as it over
| turned into the water, being able to keep
| his head above water but receiving a cut
on the forehead and on one leg The wat
er at that point was about two feet
deep above the mud.
In explaining the accident to-day the
men stated that they were running along
all right but that in attempting to get
out of rut the steering gear broke,
causing the machine to turn over the bank
into the river, which, by the way, is the
pond formed by the dam of the No. 4
plant of the Tenney company. The
machine tipped upside down and Mr..
Northrop was pinned underneath. He
was able to keep his head above water,
but suffered considerably from exposure
to the water. When the machine was
lifted so that Mr.. Northrop could be le-
moved he was unconscious. He was car
ried to the house of Harry Holmes, where
he was attended by DR.. W. R. Hark
ness who had been called from Montpel-
ier, together with help from the Spooner
& Soper garage. The other men were
not injured.
The Marshfeld men were members of
the degree team from Marshfeld ard

of the experience. They continued their
journey this morning, while men from
the garage hauled the overturned ma
chine from the water.
