and manners, dress and general
elegance, they played politically
no less than commercially, sig
nifcant role despite their small
numbers. Chiefly due to the age
long enmity which existed be-
tween the Let's and the Baltic
Germans, the few Jews in Kur-
land succeeded in sending the
only deputy which these centers
were allotted in the elections to
the four Imperial Dumas. In the
first three elections they joined
forces with the Let's, while in the
fourth they found it desirable to
cooperate with the Germans.
The Jews of the world looked up
on their brethren of Kurland with
great respect, for while the great
Jewish centers in Russia were left
unrepresented, they had a Jew in
each of the four Dumas.
The great world-war created
much havoc in the peaceful lives
of the Baltic Jews. Before the,
Germans could make their way
there, an order issued in the name
of Nicholas Nikolaievitch called
for the expulsion of the Jews in
Kurland within twenty-four
hours. With the exception of
Libau and a few neighboring
towns, where the German forces
penetrated before the order could
be executed, the Jews were forced
to leave and more than $4,000
of them were expelled exclusive
of those who had previously de-
parted of their own accord. When
the Germans occupied the Baltic
provinces, they found barely a
hundred thousand Jews.
In the early period of the Ger
man occupation, the Prussians
behaved very nicely towards the
Jews. No occasion was missed
to remind them of the misery and
oppression to which they were
subjected by the Cars govern
ment, and all sorts of promises
were held out to them, if they
should only remain loyal. The
Jews everywhere gave them a
cordial welcome, and tried to be
more loyal than the Germans

themselves, but it was not long
before the Germans showed them
selves in their true colors, and
appeared in the role of the Pharias
they were. All Jewish young
men between the ages of Is and
80 were modified and sent out to
Germany to'labor under the most
impossible conditions. All Jew
ish merchants had everything of
any value taken from them, while
all householders were deprived of
every form of metal that could be
located. A little later, furniture
and other household articles were
taken from them and shipped to
Germany. In each case they is
sued receipt with the indication
that at some future date it would
all be paid for, but to this day the
receipts are still unhonored. In
this manner they literally ruined
thousands and thousands of Jew
ish families. Morally, and spirtu-
ally the Jews of the Baltic suf-
fered even more. The old Jew
ISL merchant with his high ethical
standards completely disappeared
and his place was taken by the
lowest type of smuggler and prof
iteer, type which brought dis
grace upon the Jewish name and
honor. Later on, the Germans
also imposed their authority up
on the Jewish educational institu-
tons and forbade the use of Yid-
dish because it corrupted the Ger
man and Hebrew because it was
an academic rather than a prac-
tica1 language. German and Ger
man alone had to be used. The
Zionists were also interfered with,
the sale of Shekolim prohibited,
and meetings unpermitted, until
a special decree from Berlin or
dered that the Zionists should
not be interfered with.
Nevertheless, in spite of all /
have enumerated, the Jews in the
Baltic provinces were still far bet
ter off than any of their brethren
in other parts of Russia, and

Let's had a bare 10 per cent of
illiterates. The Let's are noted
for their energy, industry and fru-
gality. They are however also pos
sessed of many of the undesirable
elements which characterize semi
civilized peoples. They are super
stitious, egoistic and a distinct in
clination to disregard the claims
of others. This last they fully
demonstrated as soon as they at
tanned control of the country.
Not taking into account other por-
tons of the community, they are
deliberately seeking to suppress
the cultural efforts of all minori-
ties. Their language which but
two years back was employed
only by the village peasants has
now been established as the only
mother-tongue of the country and
all other nationalities are expect
ed to become fluent in it over
night. To the credit of the Let's
be it said, they are able statesmen
and proved themselves well pre-
pared for the administration of
their little kingdom. Despite the
oppression Of the Germans and
their capacity for adaptation, they
have within the past thirty years
succeeded in bringing their Ian
guage to a high point Of culture,
creating a literature of their own,
and producing men of intellectual
force by the thousand. And when
the happy moment OF building
their own state arrived, they
found no need to go abroad and
borrow their statesmen from
other nations, but had their own
men for all fields and purposes.
Such ready supply of teachers,
professors, engineers, technicians
land ministers have they on hand,
that they can we'll afford to
change them every other week.
The position of the Jews in
Latvia is intimately bound up
with the general condition of the
country. Prior to the war, there
were said to be about 10000 Jew
ish souls in the provinces Of Kur-
land and Lifland. Due chiefly to
the existing cultural atmosphere,
Jews in these provinces found
themselves on a higher cultural
plane than their brethren of Lith
uania or even Prussia. Economi-
cally, they were also far better
off than the Jews of neighboring
countries, for apart from their
heavy participation in the export
trade, they were subject to very
little connection on the part of
