German uovcrmnent officials and private associations are enuned in an extensive movement to colonize German settlers in the formerly lius siari Baltic provinces of Courland,' Lithuania and Estlumiu. This is one ul'iise nnd an important one of the German plan to sain commercial and economic ascendancy in those prov inces bonlerimr on the Baltic Sea. A state colonization bureau is al ready in existence in Berlin, and n special association for colonizing the eastern provinces lias been formed in addition, ibis association has al ready accumulated a considerable fund for the purpose of settling Ger mans in the Baltic provinces. The Saxon 'provincial diet has appropri ated a lia 1 million marks tor this purpose. I his work is also being aided by the Baltic Germans. Jinny of them, holders pf large entailed es tates, have expressed a willingness to sell portions thereof naturally at 11 good pr;co to intending Gerinun col onisls. Courland alone, if it were as thick ly populated as East Prussia, could support 2,000.000 inhabitants. It now has onlv 700.000. Germany ercatlv needs food, find hence devoted especial energy to bringing about a resumption nnd ex tension of agriculture in the Baltic provinces. Plans have been made in Germany to organize in Baltic cities of cham bers of commerce along German lines. The citv authorities of Riga have be' gun to carry out ulnns for a rehab ilitation of the city's industrial life through the reopening of the factor ies, wl'.ose work was made impossi ble by the dismantling of the machin ery by the Germans during the hos tilities in this section. A beginning is to be made with wooden wares, espec ially furniture, for which there is a preat demand in Germany. The Riga authorities are being supported ac tively bv German experts and with German money. Without regard to the fact that the final settlement of the war may frus trate sych work, the Germans are also plaiiniii!' or actually undertak ing extensive material reconstruction, includim' buildings, canals and rail roads. There is a plan on foot for a canal from Riga to Charson, at the mouth of f ho Dnieper on the Black Sea. Late Baltic newspapers report Unit the Germans are Iniilding three railways on the island of Eesel. nnd that portions of them are oven al ready in operation.

Russian peasants in this district are glad to be freed from Bolslievlck rule. "The Bolshevlcks promised that we would have land and peace and plen ty," one old man said to the Associated Press correspondent, "but we soon learned what, was their real theory. It was just this: "Tonight I go over and steal your cow, and tomorrow night you come back and cut my throat and take It back." The peasants here are not settling down to what they hope will be order and tranquility after a long reign of Bolshevik terror. All along the roads here one finds, In the evenings, peasants walking back to their houses with little bags of food, given them by the Allies Now nnd then, they are given a can of Jam, a luxury even for the rich In Russia. In one village which the Allies hod not. yet had time to reach with their food supplies, the correspondent found one peasant family eating swan, whlcn they described ns exceedingly tough "It was a sacred bird with us before' one of the peasants said, "but we have no meat and the Bolshevik killed the fish in the lakes with bombs." The peasants are working willingly under the kind treatment of the Brit ish nnd Americans. They wcro very glad to build a navlation field, cutting down ninny acres of thlch timber, be- cniie they wer5 told the fields wont be theirs for cultivation after the war.
