Russians Draw Months
Ahead on Food Supplies
(By Associated Press)

ARCHANGEL, March 1.-THE food
situation in northern Russia is causing
some concern. In the district between
Archangel and Omega, where heavy
frost late last summer killed even the
Arctic summer berries, the peoples
have already eaten the ration fixed
for next June. American army sur
geons have analysed the civilian ra-
ton for the entire population in the
north Russia district and found that
it contains only 1156 calories daily.
A man doing no work needs Ito, and
soldiers receive $500 calories daily.
The civilian ration, according to sur
geons, may be sufficient to sustain
life through the winter, but the people
will be drawing on their reserve
strength, exposing themselves to dan
ger from disease.
Citizens of Archangel are receiving
larger rations than people in country
districts and it has been calculated
that in the country the crops would
supplement the ration provided, but
the frost interviewed.

BACLEY LIQUOR CASE
-. AFFIRMED BY COURT

In q decision handed down by the
supreme court, Minneapolis Brewing

ley, the judgement is affirmed for
the following reason:
The provisions Of the statutes Of
this state relative to licensing the
sale of intoxicating liquors by the
different municipalities thereof have
no force or effect in the territory COW
cred by and inclused III the treaty be-
tewen the federal government and
the Chippewa Indfans"in 1855.
The treaty and the various stipula-
tions thereof are paramount and SUI
perior to state laws within that ter
ritory, and thereby the sale OF intoxir
eating liquors therein has at all ttmeH
since the date thereof been expressly
prohibited.
Money voluntarily paid to local
municipal authorities, without mis-
take of fact, for license to sell such
liquors in that territory can not be
recovered back by the person by
whom the payment was made, or by
his assignee, upon the happening Uf
In the absence of statute otherwise
providing the municipal authorities
in such case have no authority to Or
der a repayment of the license fee
upon the occurrence of sucn election
or otherwise, and an attempt to do
so Is null and void.
Section $3.50, subdivision 2, G. ).
1913, has no application to license IL
legally granted in the Indian terri
tory referred to.
This is the first time such an ac-
! tion has been taen before the supreme
court. Judge Stanton made similar
ruling in the case OF the ousted salon
! keepers of Bemidji attempting to op-
tain $4,000 refund Of licenses from
the city, but the Judge allowed an
injunction restraining the council
from refunding the unexpected H.
censes, and there the matter rested.
The ddecision of the supreme court
confirms the ruling of Judge Stanton.
