LITHUANIA’S HOPES AROUSED BY WAR Golden Dream of Freedom or Home Rule of 8,000,000 People London, Jan. 24.—Lithuania a re- gion on the Russo-German Baltic greater if: extent and population than Sweden. has had her aspirations stirred by the war‘and is looking for- ward to emerging from it either as an independent republic patterned on American lines, or as an autonomous nation with its own parl home rule, subject to Russia’s Im- perial authority only in matters of national defense. This was the view outlined to The Associated Press by Martin Ychas, member of the Russian Duma, where he represents the important Lithua- nian city of Kovno, and occupies the post of secretary of the finance com- mittec. witih the large Lithuanian colony, fol- } lowing similar visits just made in the United States. “It should be understood.” said Mr. Yches, “that Lithuania is entirely dis- tinct from Poland, although the puab- lic is in the habit treatinz them as one. Poland is the great central re- | glon around Warsaw, whereas Lithua- I nia and the Lett country the vast { nort section alon Baltic, with t ports of Riga, Libau | and Windau, and the cities of Vilna, !

This means home rule the same as Canada, with a Lithuanian cabinet nd Lithuanian parlisment, and with Lithuanian delegates in the Imperial Duma and a Lithuanian viceroy from {the czar. There are unofticial hop | oing far heyond this, particularly among the Lithuanians in the United States. But officially we look to au- tonomy as the fir step to restoring Lithuania as a nationality. In the { Duma the controlling authority, the | constitutional-democrats, or Cadet party, has accepted in principle au- tonomy for Lithuania. and it was by cadet votes that 1, as a Lithuanian, was elected secretary of the finance commitice. “Tn America, however, 1 found a strong movement for securing com- plete Lithuanian independence ana setting up a Lithuania-Lett republic. Our native press in America is ver strong for independence.
