SOME OF THE MEN Of THE LETTISH LIBERTY ARMY WHO WON THEIR FREEDOM WITH THEIR OWN HANDS

Latvia may well be proud of the fighting spirit of her sons, to whose indomitable courage she owes her deliverance from a sorry state of vassalage. The standing army consists of 20,000 Letts. They are a stalwart, intelligent body of men, all of them able to read and write. The Letts can certainly be classed as a highly literate nation, and among the Baltic peoples their excellent standard of education has for many years stood next in rank to that of the Finns
