Petrograd, Aug. 2J.-Birth of n new
nation of 2.6cO,C10 people. or popula.
ton greater than that of Norway, to be
called Lettland, will be one of the
results of the world war if the demands
OF the Let's of Livon!a and Courland
are granted.
The people living in the former Rus
sian Baltic provinces are chatting under
German domination forced Upon them
by-Pruss!an rifles and will plead for
Nthe right of self-determination before
the peace congress that ends the war.
Let's predominant in Livonia and
Courland and have a distinct language
and civilization wholly unlike those OF
the Esthonians.
The Lettish language is closely re :
lated to the ancient Aryan and Is re-
sarded as one of the oldest of European
tongues. 1t is rich Of folklore ana
popular legends. Lettish theaters arc
maintained a Riga. Libau and several
Of the other larger cities. The Let's
boast many nsvelists, playwrights ar
lists and musicians and hoii aloof
from the Germans.

1000. 900. The territory in which Let's
predominant and which they insist
should be set aside for them to govern
embraces Courland. Livonia and sew
eral districts in the western part of the
Russian government of Vitebsk. in
Guiding the district of Dvinsk, Luz!ne
and Rechitze. The total. population
Of this proposed government to be
called Lettland Is $780, 900, about $780,
COO less than that Of Denmark. The
area of the proposed Lettland is 1895
kilometres, which is one fifth the size
of Italy or Great Britain and so per
cent larger than either Switzerland or
Denmark.
The Let's comprise IS per cent Of the
population of the territory they want
to govern, The Russians make up IL
per cent of the inhabitants and the
Germans per cent. The remaining
population is chiefly Jewish and Polish.
Seventy:-seven per cent of the Let's are
Lutherans Eighteen per cent are
Roman Catholics and the remainder
Greek Catholics. Sixty-six per cent Of
the Let's residing in the proposed Lett
land can read and write.
Riga, Libau and Wjndau, the three
Baltic Sea ports embraced in the Let
fish territory formerly handled almost
one half Of Russia's total import and
export trade and are of prime corn-
mercial Importance.
1t is the desire Of Let's to have their
independence under an international
guarantee of neutrality. A national
council has been organized to resist all
movements to- make a German prin-
c;pality out Of Courland and Livonia
This council is urging that Russia's
inability to defend the Baltic coast
makes it imperative, that it should be
protected by international action and
kept clear as a pathway from the west
to the east.

FRANCE. New Ruling ny department.
Because of the rapid movement OF
the troops overseas with little amount
of space for carrying Of the neces-
sary equipment which must go with
them on the transports, at the request
of General Pershing, the general stan
has issued an order stating definitely
all the articles which may be taken BY
the men as personal baggage also
what articles will be shipped with
them as organized property.
All articles not absolutely essential
to the comfort and well being of the
men have been excluded from the list
The war department has ruled that
men will not be allowed to take com
fort kits with them.
The Red Cross will, however. be able
to arrange for shipment overseas, thru
the regular freight channels, OF
large quantity of comfort kits for dis.
tribution thru the foreign commissions.
The Red Cross have decided to make
such shipments feeling that under
conditions existing over there, our
kits provide additional comfort for th:'.
men, which Is really appreciated, AMI
that the expenditure of funds for kits
to be distributed in this way is fully
justifiable.
