VON DER GOLTZ. (Received This Day at 8 a.m.) BERLIN, Oct, 21. Von der Goltz, in a newspaper interview, said that by his departure from the Baltic provinces, he hoped to get the Entente to adopt a more business like attitude. There were now no German subjects among Colonel Bermandt’" troops. The Baltic provinces and Russia have the same political aims. This is the only policy which will guarantee a lasting peace. If the provinces become English colonies under the cloak of political independence, then a Russo-Englisli war will be unavoidable within an estnnable time, because Russia needs her Baltic ports. All German troops will evacuate except those who, for private reasons, wish to settle in the Baltic provinces and adopt Russian citizenship.
