JOHLN MILLEP , , ONT by qaXOPY ibis,ing under 40 Duko "illaain LIthunalane, a Letts, have refused to bear either an annexation or ef a pohtkal, tary, and econouiic linklng.up et heir territory with Gerrnany, Ti aperial German procbuuatlon that annoar2ced the "restoration of Lithw- nia an independent state allied to the German empire by an eternal, eadfast alliance," raised a universal protest among the Lithuanians. It s pointed out by those protesting if the inhabitants of Lithurtuia had accepted an offer of tile Germans to "protect" them, the neonsent" bad been obtained as the result tat a cam- paign. of "frightfulness," or, to use the language of the objectors, '"the terms of protectien were offered, with the left hand while a spiked club was brandished over Lithuania's head with the right," The reason for the "spiked club" is obvious when one examines closely the terms of alte Imperial proclamation of Lithuania's "independence." nLith iiania," It naively assumes, "vvill participate in the war burdens of Germany whieh secured her liberation." Whether or not the proposed in- tervention of the Allies to save Rus- sia. from, Germaa domination, and time to tree demeeracy from a great menace, is intimately bound up with the freedom of Lithearda., is perhaps a moot point. Lithuania, as consti- tuting a free and 'Independent state of the future, is apparently irt the same political position as Poland, and like that country, with parts oftwhich it is often confused, it may work out its own salvation as a consequence of the inevitable defeat of the Central Empires on the Western and, Italian fronts. The Allies will demand, as an irrevocable condition of peace, the release of the Baltic provinces from the clutch of Germany, who, as Mr. Lloyd George put it, intends to rule them "by the Pritssian sword in the interests of Prussian autocracy.' Allied policy will never tolerate their being left to the mercy of a military despotism that can enslave aught but Baruch, .the Polite.. In his story of Bernard Baruch, Mr, Richard Washburn Childs says: "Baruch's is a tall, slender, graceful figure, and it and its motions express a certain confidence and ease ,and poise and -absence of affectation, and presence of friendliness which gives to his personality the flanor of invi- tation rather than tbat of challenge. He is not of the bull -dog type. If he has vanity one would say it was of that glad and innocuous kind which never takes on the tiresome affecta- tion of square-jawness so tiresome and common among financiers and industrial kings, There is firmness in his faee, but one does not feel that he put it on, after shaving as so many of our two-fisted' captains do. There are none of theadaman- tine, -hewn-from-the-granite clap traps in Ids manner. The truth of the matter is that Baruch appears leas of the industrial tyrant than of the temperamentalist.

Canadians III -Fight,. LONDON, Aug. 31. -- A message from Reuter's correspondent at Brit- ish headquarters says that one of the features of Thursday's fighting was the clearing of Jigsaw Wood, east- ward, of Monthy, by the Canadians.

The \Canadians claim to have captured sixty guns since Monday. An officer of the .214th di.vision was tak-en with, his arms folded and an autoniatic in his hand.

As a first inetaltnent of the as- tounding story of that wreck, let me mention that for many hourshe drifted as a floating furnace aflame from bow to stern. Thus. all protec- tive paint was burnt off, and thapak- ed metal left to be coated, cntielti With marinrgrioe faeaeli rust aswtures :timtthletii leleitliqr ot tile:: at cloae quarters.

The euction tubes de-' et -ended into that pit, and so they were drawing up, not merely a dou- ble deluge of foul water, but 050 (and thi$ accounted for the smell) such noisome gas as is generated by 'rotting portions of a submerged cargo.

Among those other vessels waa huge oiler, which also had wavy decks and much crinkled plating is story was tangled with the story of the rusty and barnacled wreck. Denied navigation lights, they col- lided in dark and thick weather, whereupon the oiler burst into flames and her burning benzine swept across the other craft, whose, crew* penned in by fire, were heard utter- ing loud cries for three minutes. Eight succeeded in jumping over- board, and were afterwards rescued by a destroyer; but 32, including the master, perished. The oiler, emitting columns of smoke and fire, was towed into shal- low water, there to be scuttled and afterwards salved, with some 8,000 tons of her inflammable cargo. The smaller .vessel, canopied with roaring flame, blundered through a cbapter of catastrophes. To begin with, her magazine blew up. But soon a tug's intrepid com- mander had fastened his hawser to the burning ship's starboard stern bollards. Then' a mine was- struck and that hawser parted in the ex- plosion. To the port stern bollards, another tug fastened its towing gear. So once more the ship of tragedy voyaged slowly sternforeraost to- wards the shore. Allort., however, she struck another raine, and injuries were sustained on her quarter. Still the salvage people persisted in -their efforts, and a little More progress was made, after which another mine was struck and another battering was sustained by the hull. It was a, contest inetween the colossal and apparently endless bad luck of that floating furnace and the dogged patience and pluck of H. M. Salvage Scetion. The rescue crews gritted their teeth and went on with the job. At last shallow water was reached. Then came the task of ex- tinguishing the flames. A destroyer - was directed to scuttle the unfortun- ate vessel. Only afterreceiving some shots'bn her water line did she be- gin to settle; her actual foundering - being delayed until the following morning.
