MEMEL LAND'S END OF FORMER EMPIRE Germany’s Longtime Posses- sion Harassed by Doubt i . Over Ultimate Fate. “Suppose our New England coast subject to a peace treaty adjustment which would make Connecticut and Rhode Island an independent country, Boston a free city, the lower part of Maine thus severed still a part of the United States, and Eastport, Me., sub- ject to the league of nations. Then let & controversy start regarding the fu- ture of Eastport, whether it be assigned to Canada, made a !ue under a Brasil protéctorate, or be corporated _in our inary mation of Massachusetts and Rhode Island. rding to a bulletin from t headquarters of the Na- eographic Soclety if you-can im the feelings of the tport folk under such circumitances ‘you also cap gain some idea of t ent “where-do-we-go-from- of mind In the Memel north Europe.

Hamburg and Bremen, which usually come to mind as citle: of northern Germany, are in the ap- proximate latitude of Liverpool, while Memel is on a line with Glasgow and Edinburg. Its situation is like that of New York were Long: Island a penin- sula with its eastern end joined to the Connecticut shores above New Haven. The Kurische Haft con~ siderably larger than Long Island sound and the neck of this Lnland bottle, where Memel lles, is-very ni row. “A glance at a map of northern Europe will show why Memel com- manded the shipping_ of the Baltic even as Bremen and Hamburg were the entreports for overseas com- merce. Memel was the gateway to the erstwhile German empire from Stockholi Riga, Copenhagen lnd Petrogra Then note the course of the Memel, or Niemen, river, and you can realize readily how the city played the middleman for west P land . It bore great ral of logs which were sawéd at Meme mills, and this lumber product was carried to every Baltic city, & por- tion of it going back to Russian ports. Before the war the value of its timber shipments alone amounted to more than $5,000, “Early in the war the Russlans in- vaded Memel, which led to a widely quoted edict from Berlin, ‘for each German village or farm burned by these hordes, three Russian \llll‘el fense of Memel by-two Prlllllm ra - ments consisted of the soldiers dis- banding, mingling with ‘the people, and thus compelling the population to help fight in defense of their city, a procedure which, it will be rng.l furnished the excuse for subs&juent German atrocities in Belgium. “Memel was known before the war as a prosperous city, with meither a millionaire nor a pauper. It had manufactured chemicals Its population of some only 17 per cent Lithuanians, while in the rural sections of the present district of Memel 70 per cent of the people were Lithuania: This pro- portion, mot substantially altered to- day, is & complicating factor in its ultimate political disposition.” WILLS FOR PROBATE.
