Unlike Belgium, Lithuania fiid not benefit from the liberal aid ex tended by the United States and Spain. • “When in accordance human Russian policy, Lithuanian adults had '-country, entire families up. The peasants first sought refuge In the towns, but were moved on far ther by the Russian soldiery. Parents had thus to abandon their children, and were themselves transported in to Russia in cattle trucks. At Vilna, for example, thousands of. children ran about the streets vainly seeking their parents. The Central Lithuanian Committee subsequently placed them in orphanages. But these Institutions were without funds necessary to pro vide proper nourishment for the child ren, meat and milk being particularly scaree.” The Cause of Self-Determination. During the German occupation things gradually got better. The Ger mans had no motive for damaging a country which they hoped to annex or for persecuting those whom they regarded as their future subjects. Just as the Russians had tried to Russianize the Lithuanians, bo they tried to Germanize them. They were more successful than the Russians had been because their methods were less /brutal; but tho success did not amount to much. It was resisted, not only by Lithuanian patriots but also by Lithuanian abroad. The latter were active first. As early as October, Lithuanians in the United States call ed a nationa IcongresS, which met at Chicago and declared itself in favor of the reorganization of tho Lithuani an State in conformity with the prin ciple of self-determination.” A Lithu anian Bureau of Information in Paris was entrusted with th task of diffus ing knowledge of Lithuania among the general public A commissioner— J. Gabrys—was appointed to treat with the belligerents on behalf of Lithuania. A sories of Lithuanian conferences wero held in Europe, at Berne, at Lausanne, at tho Hague, at Stockholm, Demands wero formulated.
