Nothing Done
AtAn", States
vi. ]. Horre

M. J. Horre, 3071 Seidenberg
avenue, informed The Citizen
that after Commissioner Hunter
Harden had made a motion that
the zoning ordinance be enforced,
and the motion passed unani-
mously by the commissioners on
Wednesday, September 26, that
neither the sanitary inspector or
the building inspector, have done
anything to relieve the present
situations that he complained
about.
Horre stated that the mandate
of the city commissioners" was
being ignored by the department
heads responsible. He added that
if the department heads involved
can disregard the commissioners
orders then they should be run
ming the city, and not the COM
missioners."
The Seidenberg avenu
property owner emphasized
that he would be up at next
Tuesdays meeting to give the
exact locations where the ordi-
nances are being violated.
Furthermore. Horre CON-
cluded. "all citizens, regardless
of where they live. should not
allow a lax condition TO exist
in one location. for what is be-
ing done in my area can be re-
peated in other residential
areas throughout the city"

Petty Officer
Arrested Here For
Destroying Meters

Chief Petty Officer E. D.
Brown was arrested early this
morning by officer Eugene Her.
nandez for allegedly breaking
parking meters on Duval street.
Glasses in three meters were
shattered.
The fine, if Judge Enrique Es-
quinaldo finds the defendant
guilty, will have to be $3.50 or go
days in Jail. This, as the judge
pointed out in the recent filming
of another enlisted man by the
name of Kersey, is mandatory
and he must give the sentence,
which had been questioned by
some Naval authorities as too
high.
Brown was still in the city
Jail this morning as he had not
vet been released in custody to
1t. Comdr. John Van Ohlen, le-
gal officer at the u. S. Submarine
Base.

that the Lithuanians be left in
peace, and invited missionaries to
come and preach Christianity. The
Teutonic hordes, under the guise
of the Cross, still continued their
attacks. Eventually, in the latter
part of the 18th century, Mindaugas
rode into the river Niemen mounted
on his white steed, and washed off
the Christian baptism, which, he
said, was meaningless and hypocri-
tical.
Under his great leadership, Lith-
uania stopped the Teutonic "Drang
mach Osten", and strengthened his
kingdom. He was succeeded by a
good many capable leaders, such
as Gediminas, Algirdas, Vytautas
during whose reign the Teutonic
Order received it's death blow at the
battle of Gruenwald in 1410).
In 1886, Jogaila, a cousin of W.
tautas, married Queen Jadviga of
Poland and formed a dual kingdom.
By bribery and deceit, the Polish
gentry soon weakened Lithuania,
and owing to Russia's growing pow
er, both kingdoms were partitioned
by Russia, Germany and Austria
in 1892, 1893 and 1795. One of the
great Lithuanian generals, Tadeus
Kosciuska, realizing the tragic and
hopless plight of the dual kingdom,
offered his services to help a ris-
ing democracy, and was accepted
by General Washington. Upon his
return to Lithuania he refused a
commission from Catherine the Great
and was imprisoned.
From 1895 to 1918 the Lithuan-
ians revolted against Russia in 1872,
1888, 1841, 1862, 1905, and eventual
ly in 1918. They declared Lithuania's
Freedom, and fought the Bolsheviks,
Germans and Poles, and in 1920 re-
ceived full recognition from Russia,
whereby Soviet Russia renounced its
claim to Lithuania "of it's own free
will forever.

THE PERISCOPE
BY SARUNAS.

THE greatest Russian Marx
ist historian Pokrovsky at the
first All-Soviet conference of
Marxist historians said: "In
the past we Russians were the
biggest robbers imaginable" -
Nations, it is said, do not ever
change their characteristics -
the Russians are still the big
gest.
MR.. HENING in the Chicago
Tribune claims that at Tehran
President Roosevelt assented to
a secret division of Europe in
to Russian and British spheres
of influence, the partition of
Poland, and other measures for
extending Russian domination
of eastern Europe.
Among them, as the Satur-
day Evening Post pointed out
long ago, was giving up the
Baltic States. We shall have
security and peace only in a
world that is free, not in a
world of big empires.
THE trickle of Lithuanian
war. refugee immigration has
begun with the arrival of the
steamer Marine Flasher in New
York with IA Lithuanians. This
trickle will probably never ex-
ceed 400 immigrants annually,
since that is the approximate
Lithuanian quota.
1t would be just if Congress
would give the Lithuanians a
part of the Russian and Ger
man quotas, since these ma
tions have despoiled Lithuania,
and created the displaced per-
sons problem.
THE United Lithuanian A
merican Relief Fund is plan
ming another special clothing
dive for Lithuanian displaced
persons in Germany. The drive
is from June Is to Sept. Is.

still retain seven of. the original
eight cases; their verb is conjugat-
ed in the singular, plural and dual
numbers; the diminutives are used
not only in nouns and adjectives,
but also in verbs. The famous Won
Reclus, French philologist, said: eff
the Importance of a nation were
measured by the beauty of their
language, Lithuania would be first"
Again, Goethe writes: "The poetic
beauty of the Lithuanian language
cannot be surpassed"
According to many archeologists,
the Lithuanians came from Asia
Minor through Phrygia, Bulgaria
and, for a period, settled on this
side of the Black Sea near the
Crimea. Due to pressure from the
Scythians and other wild tribes, ev
entually they migrated north through
the Pripet Marshes and settled in
the Niemen River Basin and on
the Baltic shores.
Tacitus, who visited Samogitia,
and Borusia (present Prussia) des-
cribes the Lithuanians az a peace
full, agricultural people, having a
religion of a very high order with
Vestal Virgins and the Hearth of
Everlasting Fire" He speaks of
the Romuva sanctuary, where calen-
dar years were kept by adding
new stone for every year that the
fire was kept burning. Although
this was 101 A. D., he counted over
1000 stones!
Their chief export was amber,
which was highly priced in ancient
days. These were purchased by the
Phoenicians, Romans, Greeks and
other traders of those times. In
return they sold gold, copper i'm
plements, ETC., which are discovered
in old mounds of Lithuania today.
After the great Crusades to Jeru-
salem and their subsequent failures,
the Christian church found itself
with great hordes of fighting men,
who were not only willing to fight
for the church, but were eager to
pillage and loot. Thus, in the ear
ly 18th century, the Popes declared
a holy war against the "pagans'
of the north, and gave the leader
ship of these campaigns to the leu
tonic Knights and the knights or
the Sword-both Teutonic. The riff
raft mercenaries flocked to them
from all parts of Europe. Rapidly,
thew annihilated one branch of the
Lithuanians (Borusians-old Prus-
siam, and in 1915 the Teutons built
their first fortress and castle at
Riga, with intent to carry their
holy war" into the interior OF
Lithuania, promiscuously numbering
and pillaging men, women and child
ren.
FIRST LITHUANIAN KING
This situation caused the Lithuan-
ian chiefs to unite into a kingdom
under King Mindaugas, in order to
stave off the threatening dangers.
Mindaugas accepted Christianity, but
the attacks persisted. He then wrote
omen letters to all the rulers OF the
world and to the Pope, requesting
