RUSSIAN SOLDIERS BEGIN

onian troops are coming to the aid of the Let's.
 Move Was Chccl,natCd.
 The statement attributed to Gen. E1admroH in the dispatch to the Mail implies the belief in Reval that Col! AValOff- -Bermondts attack on Riga was a part of a scheme to advance on Petro9rad, which is regarded to have been checl1mated by Gen. Yudenitchs push northWard.
 Russo German Intrigue.
 \ dispatch to the Manchester Guardian, from Berlin reports that the Russo-German intrigue is of very long standing, an eastern adventure having been in the minds of military reactiOnaries in Berlin since the be- ginning of the year. It will be re- |membered, the dispatch states, that the far reaching possibility of such a measure almost tempted independent action on the part of German armies in the east at the critical moment of the ratification of the peace treaty n the national assembly at Weimar.
 Recruiting Iron Division. For months, the correspondent
 
 army in the Baltic has been going on in Germany, not only for the so- called ''iron division," and other Ger man attachments but also for nom1- nally Russian forces. Russian officers often Russian only in uniform, are a familiar sight in Berlin and else where throughout the country. Re- cruits largely from Germany, are con- tinually passing through by railway. Many of these wear Russian uniforms but most of them are in the German field gray with Russian shoulder straps and cockades.
 Militia Organized, Too.
 In addition there has been an or ganization of a militia or landWehr from among the residents of the Baltic provinces. Youths have been induced to enlist partly by the romance Of military adventure and partly by offers of citizenship in the proposed state and land upon which they may form agricultural colonies, but the main argumen has been the fear of distress and anxiety awaiting them in Germany if they were demobilized.

REV. MR. COOK MAY NOT
 LEAVE LOCAL CHURCH
II Methodists Decide Upon Bigger Program Here, He
 Will Probably Remain.

Not until the official board of the Methodist church meets tomorrow evening will it be definitely decided whether or not the pastor, Rev. War ren F. Cook, is to leave the city and take up his ministerial work in the larger field that is offered him in Montclair, New Jersey.
 At the meeting of the official board yesterday morning Rev. MT. Cook ad- vised the members that he had made up his mind to accept the call to Montclair as it offered him a wider field for religious work. The board however, steadfastly refused to accept the pastors resigna ton and made every effort to prevail upon him to reconsider and continue the work in this city that he began four years ago. Following this conference the minister said he would hold his decision in abeyance until tomorrow evening.
 The Methodist church is consider ing some very definite plans of re- organizing it's work and branching out with much bigger church program carried out on a broader scale This tentative program, which is to be passed upon by the official board at tomorrow evenings meeting, calls for some decided changes and improve ments, both in the church work and in the church building itself.
 Asked this morning if he had re- considered, Rev. MT. Cook said he thought likely, if the church board de- cides to continue it's work according to the proposed bigger program, he will remain here. Otherwise, he will ac- cept the New Jersey pastorate.

SUGAR SITUATION
 BECOMING ACUTE
Local Wholesalers Have Small Amount on Hand
 Orders Being Cancelled.

The sugar situation in this city is rapidly becoming acute and with but a small quantity in the storehouses of local Wholesa lor& and but little to be received when the present stocks run out, the city, is facing a shortage be- than the one of a year ago, dea lers say. M OrriS CChn one Of the most prominent of tho local wholesalers, has ''hardly enough to say so" in his Commercial street storehouse and eN- presses little hope of having his or ders. now in the hands of the renner3, filled
 Under the present government plan of distribution Canners arc given first preference by refiners and manufac- turers of comm Odities requiring d quantity of sugar are to be looked aft CT next, The situation is equally seli- ous in other cities throughout the country and the cause attributed fo!' this state of affairs is that European markets have purchased all the Cuban output much of which formerly found market in America.
 Realizing the seriousness of the situation many of the more important refinerieS have aleady notified their trade that in the future no orders can be filled. It may be possible for few Of the orders received several months ago to be hOnOred and there Is a nope that a small amount will reach this city because of that fact. It is not eN- pected, however, that an amount Suffl- cient to relieve the shortage will be received through the filling of old or ders unless some solution to the prob lem is found soon.
 The reissuing of government sertifi- cateS to wholesalers and retailers is now looked for as the best solution Of the problem of equal distribution. Un- der this plan a sort of questionnaire is filled out by the merchants, showing the amount of sugar form erly used. These certificates are sent to the gov ernment offices and a ratio is deter mined upon for the filling of require ments. The certificates are then given to the refineries and they are ordered 10 supply only those whose names are included on the lists and only to such amounts as they are entitled.
