by the defendants wife in which she
alleged non-support As Of Oct. I,
however she stated that the defen-
dant abandoned her in 1910 and has
failed to support ner since that time.
In subsequent affidavit, filed just be-
fore the hearing. she alleges the de-
PENDANT returned to Lewiston once in
1914 and again in 1915, but does not
in either affidavit show the defendant
was in Maine at the time alleged in
the complaint or at any time after
the act of 1915 was passed.
He testified that he had not been
in Maine since September, 1912 and
it appeared admitted by all that he
other words it appeared to be clear
that he was not fugitive from JUS
tice by reason of any violation Of the
law of 1916, because he had not been
in Maine since that law was passed"
1t is not known what the Maine Of
ficials will do If anything further in
this case.
Said well-known official, regard
ing the decision from our sister
state:
1T is a peculiar thing, that the Of
ncials Of New Hampshire by this one
decision hullify all the laws of Maine
so far as concerned in similar cases;
that is, any man who committed a
crime or offence before 1915, got out
of the State and has not been in the
State since is not fugitive from JUS
tice, but is perfectly innocent per-
son so far as our Revised Statutes of
1916 are concerned. If such can be a
fact, We have a perfectly funny state
of affairs and every state in the
Union which ever reyises its laws
will find itself in the same mess
without any law to apply to such
cases.
Il had never before heard that the
approval and acceptance Of a re-
vision of our laws put any Of the laws
out of commission, but had sup
posed that they continued in effect
until repealed. Seems to me that l
have heard of some Of the old Blue
Laws" being handed down from 10,
these many years ago, and the Re-
vised Statutes of Maine have been
revised many times since the State
was admitted to the Union. If this
ruling by our sister state of New
Hampshire is correct, We might ex-
pect some pretty rnixups. if such an
Interpretation should apply else
where"

MAINE AVIATOR
RECEIVES D. S. c..

The official list of citations for
bravery in action issued for today
contains the names of II officers and
men. one of whom is native of West
Pembroke, Me. The description OF
Lieut.. Abernathy's exploit is as fol-
lows:
Lieut.. Thomas J. Alternately, A. s.,
147th Aero Squadron. For extraordi-
nary heroism in action near Vourbin,
France, July Is, 1918; Lieut. Aber-
nathy while on patrol duty, attacked
an enemy plane at close range, firing
hundred rounds at a distance of
from so to 200 yards. He followed the
German ship down and saw it fall
out Of control. and as he turned he
found five enemy planes diving at
him. Without hesitation he took the
offensive and fired 200 rounds into
the enemy ships at not more than
Is to 20 yards. He observed tracer
bullets entering the bodies of the
enemy aircraft but owing to the vio-
lence Of the combat, he did not have
time to observe whether any Of his
foes were shot down. Fighting Wig
orously. he succeeded in dispensing
the enemy ships and making a safe
landing within his own lines, although
his own engine and plane were almost
shot to pieces. Home address, West

BIRTH OF THE new
NATION OF ,LETTlANO

Petrograd. Aug. 2a.-(Correspond-
enee).-The Birth Of a new nation Of
100000 people. or population
greater than that Of Norway. to be
called Lettland. will be one of the re-
suits of the world war if the demands
Of the Let's Of Livonia and Courland
are granted.
The people living in the former
Russian Baltic provinces are chatting
under German domination forced
upon them by Prussian rifles and will
plea for the right Of self determine
ton 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 Esthoni-
ans.
The Lettish language is closely re-
lated to the ancient Aryan and is re-
garded as one Of the oldest Of Euro
pean tongues. 1t is rich in folklore
and popular legends. Lettish thea
tres are maintained at Riga, Libau
and several of the other larger cities.
The Let's boast many novelists, play
wrights. artists and musicians and
hold aloof from the Germans.
In all the world the Let's number
about 100000. The territory in
which Let's predominant, and which
they insist should be set aside for
them to govern embraces Courland.
Livonia and several districts in the
western part Of the Russian govern
ment Of Nitebsk, including the dis
tFicts of Dvinsk. Luzine and Rechitze.
The total population of this proposed
government to be called Lettland is
100000 about 10000 less than that
of Denmark. The area of the pro-
posed Lettland is 62,325 kilometres,
which is one fifth the size of italy or
Great Britain and fifty per cent larger
than either Switzerland or Denmark.
The Let's comprise 6S 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 I per cent. The re
naming 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 Lettland can read and
write.
Rigan. Libau and Windu the three
Baltic Sea ports embraced in the
Lettish territory formerly handled
almost one half Of Russia's total inn
port and export trade and are Of
prime commercial Importance.
1t is the desire of Let's to have
their independence under an inter-
national guarantee o. neutrality. A
national council has been organized
to resist all movements to make a
German principality 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 internation-
al action and kept clear as a pathway
from the West to the East.
