BALTIC STATES
TAKEN OVER BY GERMANY. LITHUANIA & LATVIA. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) LONDON, August 10. The Stockholm correspondent of “The Times” says Germany has incorporated Lithuania and Latvia into an entity called Ostland, whose limits are undefined but, it is believed, comprise not only the Baltic States but also parts of Russia. Recently Herr Lohse, the newlyappointed German Commissioner in Ostland, arrived at Kaunas and induced the Lithuanian Government to dissolve itself. This Government had been formed in the first week of the Russian-German war. Simultaneously the greater part of the Lithuanian troops transferred their services to Germany instead of to the Red Army, in which they were incorporated last year.
At the end of July Germany intimated to Kaunus and Riga that the Baltic States would not again become independent but would be administered from Berlin.
