STOCKHOLM, Oct. 10. (Corres
pondence of The Associated Press.)
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.

10 BE FREED FROM
BOLSHEVIK RULE
WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES
IN NORTHERN RUSSIA, Nov 16.
(Correspondent Associated Press.
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.
