A STRANGE LITHUANIAN

ANNIVERSARY

In maif week the Lithuanians] celebrated a strange anniversary the passage of twenty-five years! since the Russian Government per- mitted them to print their language once more in the Latin alphabet, with which everything in their past connected them.C

For forty years after the Polish and Lithuanian rising of 1868 the Russian Government tried to mould the nascent Lithuanian literature, on Russian lines by forcing the Cy- rillic alphabet upon them, al- though - Lithuanian Is not even a Slavonic language.a

Such books were printed in care- ful imitation of those published be-
