CARE FOR THE HORSE.


In a plea for the care and com
fort Of horses Miss Mary Craig Var

of national reputation and activity,
sets down these points for Observance
which will at once strike every friend
of animals as logical:

England's Attitude.

England on the other hand, is said
to be favorable to the Lithuanian as
pirations, and this Lithuanian prob
lem is said TO be one of the several
which are straining relations between
Britain and France.
In this, as in so many other Eu-
ropean matters. the United States
holds sort of balance of power If
the United States should extend
formal recognition to the Lithuanian
republic, its case would be enormously
strengthened, probably won.
That is why Lithuania has hired a
press agent, and put him here in
Washington to tell the American peo-
pie all about Lithuania and her as
pirations. If the American people,
through their newspapers. can be
convinced that the Lithuanian re-
public should be recognized, it prob
ably will be recognized by the Amer
lean Government in due course.
Meantime. most Of the American
public does not even know that there
is a Lithuanian republic. Its official
publicity agent. Mr.. NJ. +. King, is
up against one of the hardest jobs a
press agent ever tackled. The methods
of putting over a movie star or a
candidate for Congress are well known
and systematized. but when it comes
to putting over new republic. the
great profession of publicity has a
new problem to solve.

The Case Of Lithuania.


So the small nation, addressing It's
plea to the conscience uf the world,
deserves some attention. And where
ia il to get that attention unless
through the newspjapers2
Take the republic Of Iithuania. for
instance In medieval times IL was a
great nation. an nations went in those
days. Its kings claimed large ter
ritory and controlled IL more or less
successfully. In ff1e course Of time
Lithuania became province Of RUS
sia, but ii always remained distinctive.
The chief reason for this is that is
people are not s1avs. nor Asiatics Of
any other kind. but are tall blonde
Nordies. Of the same race that has
given England and America some OF
their best stock. This Baltic littoral
on which Lithuania is situated Is
said BY anthropologists to be the orig
inaI home Of the Nortiic type of man.
Its cold and cloudy climate evolved
his light coloring and high thin nose,
suited 10 breathe cold damp air. From
this region the Norfic type has spread
over the whole world, all except the
tropical and semi tropical parts, which
are not climatically suited to ii.
When the crash came in Russia.
Lithuania seized the opportunity 10
set up an independent republic. This
republic was not in the least like the
Russian Government, but modelled
after our own. Having thus resisted
the Bolshevik propaganda, of which
the allied nations are so fearful.
Lithuania ought to have had their
sympathy. But Poland claimed a
large part of the Lithuanian territory
and has seized about one-third Of it.
1t is said a plebiscite would show be-
yond a doubt that the population Of
Lithuania is overwhelmingly in favor
/ of a Lithuanian republic and against
Polish domination. But France wants
large and strong Polish nation as
/ a buffer between her and Russia, and
she has been trying to set up such a
Poland ever since the war. with some
what distressing results. Hence
France is against the claims of Lith-
uania TO an independent existence,
and in favor of giving most of the
Lithuanian territory to Poland.
