 in many of the universities of the East. having been a regular lecturer at several of them and a prolific writer on philosophy. During the war his services were in great de- mand because of his ability as a speaker and his willingness to give of his time whenever he could.

FOREIGN SUGAR FLOW HALTS AND
 FAMINE RESULTS

Conditions in the sugar trade con- tinue a subject of some mystery, and millions of Americans want a better present famine The short supply of this necessary of life has been a most burdensome inconvenience and has interfed with the nourishment of the people.
 The charge is constantly repeated that the reason for the shortage Is that large quantities of sugar are be- ing held back for higher prices ex- pected to prevail when government restrictions are removed Now 1t is quite possible that prices will have to go higher in order to encourage the production of a, sufficient supply. A large part of the worlds stock used to come from Russia, Austria, and Germany. These countries will be diso~@anized for years. The short age from these fields will have to be made up elsewhere. The price will have to be sufficient to make it worth while to produce this crop in Spffi- cient volume.
 But so long as the price of sugar is controlled, it is the patriotic duty of everyone holding sugs to cooperate with the government and abide loy- ally by whatever decision the gov- ernment makes in regard to TNice- Holding sugar out of the market will create the greatest indignation against anyone guilty of 1t.
 People who know of any hoarded sugar, or of any stocks held back from public consumption. should com municate the fact to the proper au- thorities, who should proceed dras- tically to force such supplies on the market, It seems unlikely that large stocks are being held in that way. One would naturally think that the government long before this would have forced them out. But so much bad spirit has been shown in these times, that one can never tell what Is going on under the surface.

RED AGENT IS
 SCARED BY ONE
 OF HIS OWN KIND

Lawrence, Dec. 4.-Ignatz Gut, a 23-year-oId Russian Pole, who sought safety by appealing to City Marshal O'Brien last Friday night for protection against the Reds, whom he stated were out to get him." was taken to Boston yesterday by agents of the Department of Justice. His mission in this city was to further the workings of a Bolshevist organ ization in Akron, O., which had com
 Joins BoIshevists
 Gut made his appearance Friday night in an excited state and revealed a story which startled the police. He said he came to this country five years ago and had lived in Lowell and Lincoln before going West. Dur ing the time he lived in Lowell he became acquainted with a man whose O.. ils.Il4e F oIId furnish was Chris topher. On arriving in the western city he met Christopher, he said.
 Out of work and with very little money, Gut said he was forced to rely on his friend. who before offer ing any assistance, asked if he be- 1ieved in Bo1shevism. He acquiesced, was given lodging and later a job. This friendship led him to become member of the Reds who held meet ings at which anarchy and the over throw of government officials were all ways in the making.
 Sent to Lawrence.
 A raid on the Red headquarters did not disorganiZe the Socialist union, and meetings were held at the homes of friends, and later in su- burb of the western city. A Russian professor was introduced to him here.
 Gut said he was commissioned to come to Lawrence to start the work ines of the organization among the mill workers.
 On arriving here he met Christo- pher, and on Friday his friend ap- peared to shun him, and this fright ened him. The society had given him fare and S35, he said, to start the work, and he did not know how long he would be forced to continue his mission.
 After his friend started to look sus- picious Gut came to the police sta tion and a rigid investigation has been in progress here during the past two days without result.
 Communication has been sent the Western authorities and other infor- nation has been turned over to the Department of Justice who are work ing on the case now. Whether charges will be brought against Gut is not known yet, but some develop ment in the case is expected within a few days.
