comprises more than four-fifths of
the entire area and population. 1t
forms part of the northwestern Ger
man plain defined by the Weser and
the Ems. The principality Of Lu-
beck has an area of 200 square miles,
and lies within East Holstein. The
principality of Birkenfeld, 1914 square
miles in area, lies in the midst Of the
Prussian province of the Rhine. Old
onburg was at one time part of Den
mark, by which it was annexed in
1448, but in 1913 Christian VII. ceded
the country to Russia in exchange for
Holster Gottorp. The duchy was es-
tablished at that time. but in 1911 it
was seized by the Great Corsican and
annexed to his empire. It was re-
stored in 1914.
The Oldonburg dynasty is an an
cient one and the imperial house Of
Russia constitutes a part Of it. AL
though he is an officer in the Kaiser's
army, the Grand Duke of Oldenhurg
has a number of relatives in the Rus
sian service. Duke Alexander Con-
stantine of Oldenburg, who was ap-
pointed early in the war to the post
of supreme chief of the medical SER
vice of the Cars military and naval
forces, is third in line of succession
to the Oldenburg throne. The Rus
sian SUPERINTENDENT has long been
famous as a physician and as phil
anthropist, and his son, Duke Peter Of
Oldenburg, holds the rank Of major
general in the Russian army. The
Duchess Alexander, who has been as
ISOLATED with her husband in many
of his philanthropic movements, is a
great granddaughter of Empress JOS
ephine of France and of Queen Louise

anything cowardly or mean about this
Our comment was inspired by the pub
lie remarks of the state attorney of
Fairfield county. He has talked of an
investigation. We don't believe he
will conduct one and we don't believe
he will uncover much of anything If
he does He lacks the funds, the re-
sources of investigating personnel and
it's too late, anyway. We were sug-
costing to Fairfield county-branded
by Colonel Ned Osborn as Suspicious
in toto and consigned by him to "stew
in its own unpalatable juice''-that it
watch itself. We were suggesting to
the rest of the state that it watch Fair
field county. And we further sug-
gested that this watchful waiting be
pursued with particular reference to
zone man." We think it might be
profitable, we know lot of other peo-
pie think it might be profitable, we
think the Waterbury American thinks
it might be profitable and we are in
clined to believe the lone man. him
self apprehends it might be profitable.
If we get him watched and make him
tirnid we shall accomplish much more
for the public good than we should by
printing his name and thereby putting
in a position to secure an official al
though specious, vindication.
