had never seen the proprietress. "Why?' asked the Swede. "She hates dirty people," said the Lett. '"ren years ago she gave orders that when she drove out all dirty peasants should turn their faces away. None of us have the proprietress. She came in a phae- ton carriage. with powdered footman holding each of the pony's reins. Be- side her sat maid with a notebook on a cushion. Behind were more lack eys. The peasants all threw themselves on their faces. The baroness said some thing in German; the 1ackies interpre- ted it in Lettish; and the peasants were allowed to rise. They rushed towards the baroness, flung themselves down again, and kissed the edge of her car riage rug. The baroness smiled on the Swede, and on hearing that he was a noble, asked him to dinner. In the mid dle of dinner, she rang. In came lackey "Tell the gardener. Peter" said the baroness, that in honor of my Swedish guest, I have remitted his whipping"
 Every inch of Courland. Livonia and Esthonia-also parts of Kovno-coun- try which stretches from the Prussian frontier almost to Petrograd city. IS owned by aristocrats like this. They live in the middle ages, and it required Hindenburgs legions to wake them up. In material sense, their provinces are the most civilized in Russia They have the best roads, the best cultivated fields. the best educated workmen, the most refined society. Socially and po- litically they are more backward than Siberia.

They are the best looking men in Europe, and they have the handsomest women. That Is because they mix their blood only with other barons. who have been 700 years on the same estate.
 The barons are proud. Mitau. Riga and Reval have "Rittenhauser," or Knights Assembly halls hung with rusty shields and coats of arms. Every family has its shield and all the shields are old, for the barons are the only aristocrats in Europe who admit no new creations. If a Baltic province man distinguishes himself as a Russian general or bureaucrat, he gets the title prince or count. But the tit'e counts as Russian. Even the Czar can not profane the only genuine European aristocracy by making a new Baltic province baron.
 All the barons are descendants of the Teutonic knights Seven hundred years ago the country which they now possess was forest. inhabited by savage Letts, partly by Finno- -Mongolian Ests. Ger manys aristocracy was then too numer- ous for the number of jobs on hand. Su- perfluous barons went from Germany to the Crusades and the Teutonic order was founded in the Holy Land. It waxed too numerous. Thousands of hungry "Rit- ters,'' which means riders" all with big quivers of children, were threatened with starvation. They began to move north east, and they conquered Courland, Li- vonia. and Esthonia. On the north of the Gulf of Finland. the Swedes of Birger Jar, conquered the Films The barons seized all the land declared the Let's and Ests to be serfs, and from that day they have been undisputed lords and masters over a population of slaves which out

land. And they had to deal with Ger mans; tough Germans of medieval type; hard-featured, hard-handed, and hard-fisted men-modern copies of the mail-clad Norman knights who con quered Saxon England. The modern knights were not going to relax their grip on their serfs-not going to cease walloping their own niggers-merely because a Czar wanted them to. By force, by social and economic pres sure by personality and physical sug- gestion, by custom and tradition, the barons kept the Ests and Letts in the same serfdom and villainage as existed before the Czar's decree. They contin- ued to whip them; to give them in mar riage against their wills; to chose their trades for them and to make them pros trate themselves and kiss the hem of the baron's coat
 Courland's and Livonias barons are the haughtiest, toughest aristocrats in all Europe. They recognize only the dominion barons; they ignore Russia; :; and they hold that the Russian govern ment exists in order to give jobs as officers or as officials to the younger baronial sons They have no link with the country they dwell in. As the Nor man knight in England lived for 300 years after the conquest speaking Nor man-French. and refusing to under stand the Saxon boors around him, so lives the German baron. He talks Ger man with his family; learns enough Lettish or Esthonian to swear at his servants: and learns no Russian at all. He looks down even on the Prussian aristocracy He considers the Prus- sian Junker a feeble. milk-and water aristocrat. who has weakly surrendered his medieval privileges "Nur in den Ostsee- e-provinzen gibet's Aristokraten,' says Baron won Mengan.

Last Remnant of Medieval Europe Is Being Despoiled

Feudalism stamps every action of the barons They are as feudal in their relations to nonbaronial Germans as they are to mere Letts and Ests. Against the thousand baronial families. are 100000 other Germans of nonnoble or as the barons say. ignoble birth. They are tho descendants of the armor- CTS, traders, and laclSeys who came in the train of the invading Tentonis knights. Many are millionares. some have been allowed to buy land. They are the real mainstay of the German press and German influence in the three provinces. But the barons do not recognize them. Every winter the barons organize four gorgeous balls in Mitau, Courland's capital. which is now in Hindenburg's hands. The rich Ger man lawyers, doctors and professors of the province are allowed to attend: they are invited to take their places in a bared-off corner of the dancing hall. But they are not allowed to dance The Livonian landowner. Rem nenkampf @ kinsman of the general, got Into trouble for breaking the barons caste-rule. He invited to din- ner six barons and their wires: and he invited to meet them Dorpat pro- lessor and his wife, The professor was "ignoble" The six barons and their wives walked out of the room. Rem nenkampf was angry, and he sent Baron Mengen one of the feuda1 party. his card. Mongen replied that he re- fused to fight. because Renennkampf by inviting bourgeois persons to din- ner had himself lost caste pAnnen- kampf insisted on duel. he must send a substitute of unstained nobility and character This Rennenkampf refused to do, His name was formally struck out of the Roll of Mobiles.

NEW PLANS OF UP-TO-DATE BRAZIL

vanctd methods of cultivation are shown. They are employing travelling lecturers to advise with the growers, end are send ing out bulletins giving the latest infor- nation upon cotton and cotton raising.
 Ill the same connection the Brazil Rail- cway ompany has been experimenting in cotton. The manager of the company said to me
 Our experiments have proved very satisfactory. We have imported Amer ican seed. and we find that 1t does far better than the native seed, the yield be- ing larger than that of the United States. Brazil has q cotton area which is fully twice as large as that of Texas, and we will produce as good cotton as almost any part Of the United States. We have no boil weevil. and are careful not to import seed from tEe boil weevil sections.
 The government has under way a num- Der of new projects to develop It's miner- al industries. These are in their infancy. Brazil is full of minerals and much of it has never been prospected. It has vast deposits of iron, and also gold, copper and diamonds. I have already written of the iron. The government has given con- sessions for some of the ore fields to cap- italists from England and the United States. There are railroads which go through or very near the richest deposits The ore Is of a. fine quality, and 1t is known to exist in billions of tons. One block that was measured by the engineers is said to contain over 20,000,000 tons of ore. That ore carries 50 per cent iron and it is of such character that it can be easily mined These ores have been ana 1yzed by experts of the Krupp works and of the United States Steel corporation and are undoubtedly of great value. If coal should be discovered it would result in an enormous steel industry, but as it is now the ores will have to be shipped to other countries for smelting and manufacturing.
 Brazil is ready to give concessions to manufacturing institutions. It has re- gently proposed to grant 1 per cent on the capital invested in the establishment of the first five-ton works in the republic, with an increase of per cent if Brazilian coal is used. Machinery of many kinds is now admitted free on application to the federal government. This is so of all ma chimes used in rubber factories: and the Congress has recently considered a bill will invent g. more economical process granted to the first company establishing a flour mill exemption of all export taxes on wheat flour for 10 years and also suf- ficient land for building the mill and for the raising of wheat on a large scale.

numbers them by 500 to one. They easily turned the natives from heathenism to Catholicism; and when they changed to Professionalism they turned the natives again. They did what they liked No English settler among Kaffirs in South Africa ever lived with more power with more complete sense of security and superiority. When the Swedes conquered Livonia and Esthonia they made desper- ate efforts to modify the zeal with which the knights .walloped their own niggers. The result was that certain rebelious Patkull sought Russian and Polish help. That was one cause of Charles KITS war.
 Ten years ago the Let's rebelled against their baronial bosses. That was in the 1905 revolution. The Let's started a peas- ant war burned castles, murdered blue blooded barons. and carried off the blue blooded barons' daughters. The Russian government looked indifferently on, It had been engaged in Russifying it's Ger man provinces; it had changed the Ger man Dorpat university into the Russian Yurieff university; and 1t did not worry much because the Letts helped 1t in eradi- eating Germansm. But the Letts blum dered. They proclaimed a Lettish repub- lic independent of both barons and Czar. and they made q village schoo'master president. Down, then, came Russian Dragons, the republic vanished, and the schoolmaster president was set with his back to a door and shot to bits. Now the Letts have Q fresh chance. Russia is again anti-German. But the mediaeval barons have a grim, tight grip on the land Only where Hindenburg comes and where retreating Russia burns the barons' strongho'ds-only there do the serfs get a chance.

 Nearly all the land in the Baltic provinces is owned by thousand mo- ble families. This means big estates, as the country they own is 400 miles long. All the families, except for a few Swedes, are German; and all have the title of baron All live in castles; or if they live in ordinary houses they call their houses castles, because that Keeps up the medieval fiction. The castles are built in well-fenced. half fortified parks and immediately outside are clusters of dirty cabins tenanted by dirty peasants. Sometimes the dirty cabins are built right up against the castles, as in the middle ages. For five miles round stretches the Herr gut" the seignorial estate The estate is always entailed; it is a "fideicom. mis-" which goes to the eldest son; and it has often been in the same family for 700 years, ever since the Teutonic knights migrated east and seized pay him land
 In the dirty cabins huddle the baron's subjects and serfs. In Courland and Livonia there are Letts. who are a re- mote branch of the Slav race, speaking a dialect which is nearer to Indian sanscrit than any other tongue. Fur ther north in Esthonia, the baron's sub jects and serfs are Ests. who are pure Films by race; and speak dialect of Finnish. In theory the peasant Ests and Letts are free. Czar Alexander emancipated them from serfdom 50 years before Czar Alexander II eman- cipated the Russian mouilks. The mou- jik managed to make himself !ndepen- dent: and his ex-owner was a weak willed, easy-going. idle Russian. The Baltic provinces Estes and Letts were not given any of their German masters

Gorgas, and he compares favorably with him in ability and efficiency. It was to him that was given the charge of the cleaning up of Rio. the federal government directing him to go ahead without regard to cost or to the protests of the public. He had almost absolute power He could close up 8 mans house if the man would not conform to the sanitary regulations. In his work he showed great administra- tive ability. He offered to clean up Rio de Janeiro in two years and he had it clean in nine months.

armies. many ancient places have suffered destruction. The library at Louvain and the great town war is destroying something more ven is destroying the middle ages, which is the result of Hindenburg's seizure into Livonia and Esthonia- These Baltic provinces are the only bit of Europe where the middle ages still flourish. backward. But the true, the specific middle age. the age of barony, villain dom, feudalism. castles, seignorial Baltic shores. The three provinces.

 A few weeks ago a Swedish aero haut was blown out over the Baltic. His balloon landed near Wenden in the heart of Livonia. It fell on the edge of q magnificent deer park. with high walls a pair of machine guns at each corner: and marvellous coats of arms showing griffins, gloves. plumes. and Latin devices. Lettish peasants rushed forward. The Swede was hungry. The peasants cast themselves on their faces and made signs. Next came German speaking Lett; and explained that noth- ing could be done until the estate-pro- prietress cama He mentioned that he
