SUGAR SHORTAGE IN CITY
SHARPLY FELT ON CAMPUS

ties, Sororities and Boarding
Houses; Relief Remote
Rumor of a sugar shortage in Ann
Arbor has become a reality. Fratern-
ities, sororities, and boarding houses
are hoarding their supply and in some
instances are doing entirely without
sugar-hungry students are purchas-
ing this precious substance in pound
packages with a dollar purchase of
other groceries. In one case an en-
tire chapter stood in line to secure
the desired sweet for the fraternity
table.
There seems to be no immediate re-
lief from the sugar famine, for, al-
though the dealers have been very
conservative in the distribution, the
increased demand has overbalanced
the efforts to accumulate this com-
modity.

German Propaganda to be Investigated
Winchester, Ky., Dec. 11.--Admit-
ting that state courts have no author-
ity to enforce Federal statutes, Cir-
cuit Judge W. R. Shackelford, in deliv-
ering his charge to the December
grand jury, instructed them to go in-
to any evidence of German propagan-
da, sifting it to the bottom and report-
ing unofficially to him.
Any evidence along this line which
they discovered, he said, would be
presented to Federal officials, and
would, by that much, lighten the task
of investigators.
Regardless of their authority to act
on any such evidence it was the duty
of the grand jury, he said, to use their
inquisitorial power in discovering it,
because of the service its discovery
would be in making ineffective German
efforts to sow dissention and dissat-
isfaction.
