subject of the race, the history, and the woes of Lithuania. The article entitled 

 " Lithuania and the Autonomy of Poland " shows clearly how impossible it would 

 be to try to construct an autonomous Poland with Lithuania as an integral part ; 

 how the Poles and Lithuanians are distinct races that never have and never will 

 amalgamate, and how advantageous it would be to restore the ancient country of 

 Lithuania as it existed in the Middle Ages. Her country cut in two, half absorbed 

 by Germany and half by Russia, oppressed by both, with Germany by far the 

 greater culprit of the two, she still has managed to keep alive her language, her 

 ambitions, and her hope of future salvation. At the present time the land is 

 devastated by war, and fifty thousand of her sons are forced by the Germans to 

 fight their own countrymen in the ranks of the Russian army — a sadder picture 

 could hardly be. Every one in the interests of humanity should give some 

 attention, if not support, to this new publication.
