Beat Germans and Mongols.
The Lithuanians lived in clans until
the thirteenth century, when, because
of national danger, they banded tOgeth-
er. They chose RingaudaS as the first
grand duke of Lithuania, and he soon
collected n large army. He defeated
the Germans and stopped the western
advance of the sIongolians. He like
wise defeated the Russians and in
creased the territory of Lithuania con-
siderably.
Mindaugis, the next grand duke,
capable organizer and administrator,
continued the work successfully. Ged-
eminas, a shrewd diplomat. as is shown
i'm his correspondence with the pOpes
Of Rome and the Teutonic order, was
the next grand duke of, note. He es-
tablished the grand duchy Of Lithu-
ania on q firm basis, vanquished the
Russians, TeutOnS, and especially the
Tartars, and so helped save Europe
from the greatest disaster that could
have befallen it-invasion and occupa-
ton by MongOlians. At this time Lith-
uania extended from the Baltic sea
to the Blakk seq. After the death Of
Gedeminasl his two sons, Algirdas and
Keistutis. reigned, and waged battles
with Teutons and Slavs.
In 1869 sort of dual Polish-Lithua-
MAN government was adopted. Even
then. Lithuania kept its independence.
In the three partitions of Poland the
major part of Lithuania was annexed
by Russia and the smaller by Germany.
Thus Lithuania was removed from the
map of the world.
The people were forbidden to use
| the Lithuanian language, and the pos
session of any Lithuanian books, even
prayer books, was considered polit-
ical crime, and schools teaching Lith-
uanian were closed. The Russian gov
eminent prohibited the use of any type
in print but the Russian. The people
as result, Struggled in books and
newspapers printed In Latin type, from
Germany. Eventually the imperial or
der was revoked and the use Of Latin
type re-established. From that time
on Lithuanian literature has flourished,
many newspapers having been pub
lisAed and many books printed.
There are probably about 7,500.OOl
persons Of genuine Lithuanian stock.
In addition to these, the Lithuanian
state would include 100000 Poles
Jews, Russians. and Germans. making
n total Of 9.OOO.0OO for Lithuania prop.

The SIZE OF SCOUT CITY,

The Boy Scouts Of America has
membership Of 295,76S boys properly
registered in 1877 troops, with 49,
S73 men council members and troop
committeeman and scOutmasters.
If all the scouts and their leaders
were in one city. then Scout City
would rank eighteenth in the United
States. This is larger than Minneapo-
lis and almost as large as Newark or
New Orleans.
The registered boy scouts alone
could almost fill city ranking with
indianapolis or Kansas City, and more
than enough for st. Paul.
Counting the million or more scouts
who have received during the past
eight years the benefit of the scout,
program and who have entered mans
estate, the Boy Scouts of America
could move bodily into a deserted
Cleveland and Boston and there would
be a scout to represent every man,
woman or child among the former in
habitants of both cities, or almostl
enough to fill Philadelphia.
There are 100000 boys who could
be scouts If there were men leaders;
enough. When the nationwide CAM
paign of the Boy Scouts Of America
for scout leaders is over, 1t Is expect
ed that there will be room in the scout
organization for 100000 duly regis
tered boys. "ScOut City" then might
well be as large as Chicago. The
