FROM CAPT. TO SGT.

the time were in charge. There
mad been partisan activity in
the neighborhood and someone
asserted there was a radio on
the church property. The as
sistant FIR. A. Yecius, was ar
rested, taken away, and has
not been seen since, the other
priest, FIR. Adomaitis, was so
aged and bed-ridden, he was
placed under a house-arrest.
Guards were posted at the
entrances to the church and
all persons coming to services
were arrested and taken to
prison. The church floor was
torn up; the church was reduc-
ed to the walls. No radio was
found, but those taken away
have not returned. Exactly the
same situation has occurred in
the nearby parish of Keturva-
lakiai. 1t is believed by the
local people that this method
is being applied all over Lith-
uania.
The schools have either been
closed or the curriculum alter
ed so that religious instruction
is eliminated. Such is the sit
uation in Catholic Lithuania.
Religion, language, culture
and Government is being root
ed out. A black market is be-
ing operated by an alien sol
diery.
Aliens outnumber the citizens
of the country. And in the
background, daily increasing in
numbers and it's strength, is
the patriot army, strengthened
by the Russians who have seen
what life outside of the Soviet
can be, waiting to strike.
But the survival of that ar
my depends very much on the
conditions of this winter. The
Russian Army has the wea-
pons of war supplied by Bri-
tain and America. If it can
be launched on the frozen and
icy marshes, the last hope OF
Western civilization in the East
will be sorely harried. The
surviving partisans will have
to burrow deeper.

The reader should bear in
mind as he reads this report
that the Soviet Elections will
take place in Lithuania in Feb.
of 1916. According to the So
Wet Lithuanian newspaper, Nau-
jasis Kelias (The New Road)
issue October II, 1915, every
person in Lithuania had to take
out a new passport, for voting
purposes, by Nov. l, 1915. This
means that the thousands of
Russians, and the loyal soldiers
of the Red Army in occupation
will be able to vote in the Lith-
uanian elections. 1t also means
that thousands of Russians,
and the loyal soldiers of the
Red Army in occupation, will
be able to vote in the Lith-
uanian elections. 1t also means
that thousands of outlaweC
lithuanian cannot vote. These
are the partisans.

Red Soldiers are only operat-
ing.
An interesting piece of infor-
nation was provided by this
partisan: He had noted Rus
slams bartering British and even
American relief clothing for
food and what might be term
ed luxuries.
All salaries are taxed to the
extent of about fifty percent; ;
few persons will take money !;
everything is done on the bar
ter system; and goods can only
be got this way or by theft.
Small farms have been collec-
tivised; large farms have been
split up. All machinery was
taken in 1889 by the Russians.
There is now economic chaos.
Since there are more Red
Army soldiers than Lithuan-
ians and these, apart from the
| Soviet civil service, have to be
fed, practically the whole agri-
cultural livestock of the coun-
tryside has been requisitioned
by the Russians.
| The shortage of doctors, food
and medical supplies make a
plague a probability this win
ter. The people believe that
the only relief can come from
the partisans. All hope of the
intervening has evaporated.
THE CHURCH CRIPPLED
The Church has been Grip.
pied tragically. In 1889 the
whole Lithuanian press, Catho.
lie and secular. was suppressed
Communist papers were sub.
stituted. Now Russian is be-
ing introduced as the officia
language and in time the Rus
SLAMS hope even to eliminate
the use of the Lithuanian Ian
guage.
The Catholic life of the peo
pie has been separated from
the hierarchy. There are three
Lithuanian Bishops in Switzer
land. Mgr. J. Skvireckas oil
Kaunas and his auxiliary, Mgr
Briggs, and Mgr. Podolskis O.
Vilkaviskis.
The Bishop of the latter dio,
cese, died under what was des
cribed as uncertain circumstan-
ces. Mgr. Matulonis, Bishop
of Kaisiadorys, was murdered
as the Russians advanced into
the territory occupied by the
Germans. The Bishop of Tel.
siai, Mgr. Borisevicius, and his
auxiliary, Mgr. F. kamanaus,
kas, the Archbishop of Vilnius
Mgr. Mecislavas Reinys, ano
the Bishop of Panevezys, Mgr
Casimir Paltarokas, have al
disappeared. In the meantime
the isolated parishes of their
dioceses are carrying on as best
they can.
| The lower ranks Of the cler-
gy are at the mercy of the
Communists. If they are de-
nounced they are Immediately
taken into custody and nothing
more is heard of them. One of
the most recent instances of
this occurred in October in the
parish of Skardupiai.

ed persecution Of the Church.
Germans and forced to go un-
derground by the Russians. In
an interview which amounted
to a three-hour cross-examina-
tion I was able to get the fol-
lowing picture from him. The
news of the Lithuanian HER
archy comes from a different
source.
All through Western Russia,
I was told, there is unrest. The
Red Army soldiers, illiterate
peasants from the East, treat
cd all through their lives as
beasts of burden, have seen
what is to them the conpara-
tive riches of non-Communist
Europe. They are in revolt.
Those who are not deserting
are spreading dissatisfaction all
through the. Soviet. Men and
women from Russia are being
transported into Lithuania by
, the thousand. These are the
people who are joining the par
tisans.
The three invasions have left
the underground army we'll
| armed. On their first retreat
the Russians were harried for
arms; on the second retreat
the Germans left thousands of
tons of war materials. These
weapons and ammunition were
hidden underground. Und +
the impetus of a Red Army
decree issued a few months
after liberation" the partisans
retreated to the forests, lake
lands and marshes of the Re-
public. Here they set up their
garrisons.
This Russian decree ordered
every man between the ages of
eighteen and thirty-five to join
the Army. Every Lithuanian
who could, took to the partisan
brigades. The others were Ell
ther drafted into the Red Army
or sent to Siberia.
The Russians took over the
country. The whole civil ser
vice was re-staffed by Soviet
citizens or Communists. Each
Lithuanian Lord Mayor had
been replaced by a district So
called commissar in 1889. This
system was repeated in 1914.
The partisans commenced as
sassinating the Russian Com
missars and the Commu n S t
Lithuanian quislings. The en-
tire country became a police
state.
1t is impossible, my inform
ant said, to speak with stran-
ger so closely knit is the N.
K. V. D. system of espionage.
One careless word and the very
speaker is denounced; imprison-
'ment or transportation follows.
The intelligentsia was liquidat-
ed in 1889. The few remaining
doctors, lawyers, ETC., who had
not joined the partisans wer.
transported last year.
The underground information
system is as good as the N.
K. V. D.
But conditions for the people
grow worse. Food is riches.
No rations can be purchased
outside the Black Market. All
trades have been collectivised. !
