Special Staff Dispatch.
WASHINGTON, April 23.-Just add
Lithuania 10 the lengthenlng list OF
countries in which the Hun has pill
laged the homes. looted the cities.
hanged the men and violated the women.
Don't be fooled by the camoulage
stories put out by the boche 10 the
effect that he has freed Lithuania
from the Russian yoke; that the land
Is to have autonomy. under German
protection, etc. etc.
The truth Is that Lithuania IS ground
under the German heel and Is subject
to tyranny more complete than that
Of the cars.
The other day the Kaisers govern
ment hypocritically announced that as
Lithuania's freedom was achieved by
German arms. il was expected that Lith-
uania would bear part Of the expense.
This was the prelude to heavy Ger
man tax imposts upon the unfortunate
people whom they had already robbed
right and left.
The Lithuanians at one time ruled
much Of the territory abutting on the
Baltic Sea. The territory they claim
as theirs Is over $1,000 square miles,
comprising the Russian provinces OF
Wilma and Kovno and portions OK East
Prussia, IN which are situated koenigs-
burg and Memel. The country has g
population Of over 100000, OF whom
| 1000 900 are Lithuanlans. For scores Of
years they have agitsted for their free
dom and now fear they are to remain
under a new yoke-that Of the Ger
mans.
Their fate In this war has been quite
as horrible as that Of Belgium or Serbia.
The Russian and German armies fought
back and forth across Their country six
times. The Russians looted and pill
llaged some towns i'm East Prussia.
Thirsting for vengeance. the German
armies came, not into Russia proper
but into Lithuania and made That sec
ton suffer.
In the district OF Resiainiai, they not
only pillaged and destroyed, but they
gathered an the young women and girls
and put them into white slavery. Some
OF them were driven nude IN front OF
! the very eyes OF their sorrowing par
enis and kinfolk.
Even more brutalities were practiced
when the Germans finally occupied all
Of Lithusnia. The unfortunate inhabi-

tants were living for the most part in
dugouts by that time. as their homes
had been razed.
One OF the Llthuanians. who has been
through the mill. told me this. having
acquired the facts at FIRST hand:
THE German officers would send sol
dlers 10 dugout where there were
young women and girls No sooner had
The soldiers bluifed their way in than
others would be sent charging the un-
fortunate women with being prostitutes.
This TO innocent people. The officers
would say the women would have TO
submit TO medical inspection at the hos
pitals The hospitals turned out % Be
bawdy houses which the Germans
maintained for their soldiers.
In the district OF Kelme some old
men thought TO protect the young WON
en- from such a fate. When soldiers
came, the old men raised their canes
and started to resist the Germans. Some
OF the old men were shot and others
we're hanged. The girls we're taken TO
I tho trenches.
In the districts OF suwalki, Wilma
and Kovna the Germans literally
stripped the country bare. They took
clothing. food. brass. copper. They tool
down the church bells and even ths
metal doorknobs. In one little town Of
which / know. they literally took tbs
! last crust OF bread.
"As the peasant women saw the grea'
/ German trucks laden with all their pos
sessions, In desperation they put theil
children on the vehicles, saying. since
You have taken all our food. take oul
children, too. so that you may at leas
