| WARSAW. October 19.-Relations be-
tween Poland and Lithuania are becom-
tng more strained. according to advices
from NJ. Kameniski, Polish minister to
I.etvia, who has been attending the con-
ference of Baltic states at Riga. On the
eve & the return to Paris of the league
of nations commission which has been
attempting to reach solution of ques-
tions arising between Poland and
Lithuania, threats have been made by
the latter nation to intern all Poles as
a reprisal for the occupation of Wilma by
Gen. Zel!gouski's army. AS conse-
duence. many Poles are reported to be
leaving for their native country.
Lithuania, according to NJ. Kameniski,
is determined to oppose Poland in every
way possible A Lithuanian army, says
a dispatch from Grodno, is being mobil-
lied, men up to the age of forty-hve
being called to the colors.

replying to the Anglo-French COM

Great Britain and France should con-
slider it their duty to enforce posses
sion of Wilma by Lithuania. This de-
cision. it is pointed out, would give
rise to further conflicts and uprisings
in the Polish army.
Poland estimates too highly the 10y
atty of the powers. it is declared. to
imagine that advantage will be taken
of her difficulties to advocate the re-
nunciation of wilma. The Warsaw
government urgently appeals to the
allies not to place difficulties in the
way of the reconstruction of Poland.
