TIME Malta of the Baltic" is
- the name given to KrOn-
stadt and the small Island
of Kotlin which it occupies,
but a more appropriate name would
be "the Gibraltar of Petrograd," for
the supposedly impregnable fortress
commands the sea avenue to the great
Russian capital, says a bulletin OF
the National Geographic society.
The Island Of Kotlin, which is
little more than seven miles long and
q mile and quarter wide, lies at the
western extremity Of the Bay OF Neva,
in the fresh water discharged by the
River Neva. To the west is the Gulf
of Finland.
Kotlin was first fortified In 17O3 by
Peter the Great, when 1t was wrested
from the Swedes, but 1t was not until
seven years later that the great mon
arch laid out the town Of Kronstadt
and began the systematic erection OF
its defenses. Three hundred thousand
men are said to have been employed
on this work, but it was not completed
until the reign Of Peters daughter
Elizabeth.
lntersected by Canals.
The town, which had a population
of 65, 900 at the beginning Of the world
war, is intersected by two waterways
the Canal Of Peter the Great, begun
in 1921, but not completed until 81
years later, and the Catherine canal,
constructed in 1882. Between these
two canals stands the Italian palace
of Prince Menschikoff, one Of the
most picturesque figures in all Rus
sian history. Born Of the most humble
parents, Menschikoff at the age of
twenty was selling meat pies In the
streets of Moscow when he attracted
the attention Of Lefort, Peter the
Greats favorite. On the death OF the
latter Menschikoff succeeded to the
place Of honor with his sovereign and
served him energetically. 1t Is said OF
that he could drill regi-
ment, build a frigate, administer a
province and decapitate a rebel with
equal facility. Upon the death OF
Peter he became the virtual ruler OF
Russia during the brief reign Of Pc

 While Lieut.. Raymon D'Aiguy can speak English, his articulation is de- cidedly French, and he experiences some difficulty in apprehending A fine pair of eyes and very artful way of gesticu- lating, however, enable him to converse with comparative ease His whole eX- pression changes, however. when he comes upon one who speaks his own tongue.
 The Frcnehman is here to give instruc- ton to the young officers at Camp Me- Clellan in French warfare He expresses a keen admiration for the American army, and he believes the war will be brought to an end within year or less after the Americans get into the game with large force.
 No effort is made by Lieutenant D'Aiguy, however, to minimize the dan gers that attend modern warfare He is member of what is known as the fa- nous Blue Devils and is said to have lost several close relatives in the big conflict.
