01* BALTIC COAST
PtTROGRAD.—Girth of a new;
nation of 2,600,00 pt iple, or a pop
ulation greater th »n that of Nor
way, to be called Lettland, will be
one of the results of the world war
if the demands of the Letts of
Livonia and Courland are granted. j
The people living in the former
Russian Baltic provinces are ehaf
I finpr under German domination, j
forced upon them by Prussian rifles!
and will plead for the right of j
; self-determination before the peace |
congress that ends the war. Letts j
i predominate in Livonia and Cour- •
land and have a distinct language
ami civilization wholly unlike those
of the Esthonians.
The Lettish language is closely
related to the ancient Aryan and
is regarded as one of the oldest of
European tongues. It is rich in
folklore and popular legends. Lettish
theaters are maintained at Riga. I
Libau and several of the other!
larger cities. The Letts boast many j
novelists, playwrights, artists and!
musicians and hold aloof from the j
Germans.
In all the world the Letts number!
about 2,000,000. The territory An *
which Letts predominate, and which
they insists should be set aside for
them to govern embraces Courland,,
Livonia and several districts in the1
western part of the Russian govern- j
ment of of Vitebsk, including the
districts of Dvinsk, Luzine and
Rechitze. The total population of
j this proposed government to be
called Lettland is 2,600,000, about
150,000 less than that of Denmark
; The area jf the proposed Lettland;
; is 62,325 kilometers, which is one- j
: fifth the size of Italy or Great |
Britain and fifty per cent larger,
than Switzerland or Denmark.
The Letts comprise 68 per cent!
of the population of the territory j
they want to govern. The Russians;
make up 12 per cent of the in-1
habitants and the Germans 7 per;
cent. The remaining population is!
chiefly Jewish and Polish. Seventy-i
seven per cent of the Letts are ;
Lutherans. Eighteen per cent are
Roman Catholics and the remainder
Greek Catholics. Sixty-six per cent ,
of the Letts residing in the pro-1
posed Lettland can read and write. '
Riga, Libau and Windhu. the;
three Baltic Sea ports embraced in ;
the Lettish territory formerly hand-1
led almost one-half of Russia's to*al;
import and export trade and are
| of prime commercial importance. j
It is the desire of Letts to have [
their independence under an inter j
national guarantee of neutrality. A 1
national council has been organized |
to resist all movements to make a |
German principality out of Cour-1
land and Livonia. This council is
. urtrinK that Russia’s inability to de
i fend the Baltic coast makes it im
j perative that it should, be protected
by international action and kept
j clear as a pathway from the W est
• to the East.
