VON DER GOLTZ
EXCUSING HIS ACTION. United Press Association —By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. Berlin, Oct. 21. Von Der Goltz, in a newspaper interview, said that hy his departure from the Baltic Provinces he hoped to get the Entente to adopt a more businesslike attitude. There were now no: German subjects among Bermondt’s troops, and the Baltic provinces and Russia would have the same political aims. “This is the only policy which will guarantee lasting peace. If the provinces become English colonies under the cloak of political independence, then a Russo-English war will he unavoidable within estimable 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.
