Where the northern people have j '
thrashed out among themselves in i .ij
many battles the causes of faith and; ^
nomerce and empire: where German.!
Swede. Pole. Russian, Lett. Esth and |
Tartar have struggled: on the area i
3f the Baltic provinces, as much the]
rockpit of the north jis Belgium has | - J
been of central Europe, news dispatches
make it apparent that the
Teuton and the Slav are preparing to
stage another one of those mighty
struggles for the maintenance of face. \e\
It is with this country, a borderland
where German and Russian meet
among a native population of Letts I tin
and Esths, the theatre of the latest
German invasion, last Tuesday's III

the three Russian governments fold- ^
ing themselves around the eastern el- gQ
bow of the Baltic sea, deeply broken xr*
in coastline, swept by an air crisp J-l
with cool in summer and biting in
winter, form the Baltic provinces. i?
They comprise 36.560 square miles,
supporting 2,500.000 inhabitants, of
tvhom the great majority are Letts
ind Esths, first mentioned akin to
:he Lithuanians, the latter a Finnish 1
people. The natives are the laborers 1
ind the peasants, the Russians are 5
the military and administrative of- 5
Scials, while until the outbreak of 1
:he war, the Germans were the traders
and manufacturers of these prov- L.
nces. _
"A lesser stream of German migra- }
Lion has, at various times, flowed
lorth by way of the Baltic, many of
its elements settling on these coastal
lands that stretch almost from the
Prussian border to Petrograd. A
jlight strip of the Russian govern-j
rnent of Kovno touehes the sea near; i
Memel, thus dividing East Prussia! I
from the Baltic provinces. Germans' I
bave founded many families in this I
territory, and many of the nobles and j
townsmen of the Baltic lands are of
German ancestry. The German descended
population of the three gov-!
srnments constitutes about 8 peri
pent. of the whole, considerably outnumbering
the Russian. j (
"German characteristics far more 1
than Russian are found throughout
the provinces, which, until within the ?
last few years, had numerous Ger- ?
man schools, German newspapers and , '
German societies. The Russians,!
however, a few years before the present
war began, turned their attention i
:o the Russianizing of the Baltic c
provinces after the same thorough !_
fashion with which they have carried
on their campaigns for the as- <
?imilation of the Poles. The German
schools, languages, press and organzations
were prescribed. |i
"The Order of the Swordbearers !|

:he territory included in the Baltic I
provinces the object of Christian ?
prusades. They carried their reli-h=?=:

settlers, who expropriated the land, Crust
.'rushing the native population to a
position of serfdom. These northern
crusaders carried on their operations Th
