Less than forty-eight hours after this agreement was signed revolution ists entered and seized the city. ssInyestigation proved" he said ssthat General Pilsudski of the Polish army, admitted that he had furnished the encouragement to those in revolt" There was con- siderable dispute over the lost ter ritory which was awarded then to Poland by an act of the league or nations. Father Gradeck indicated that ever since this was done, the Lithuanians in all sections of the world have set aside the date as a day of protest.
