WOMEN OF POLAND RISE AGAINST THE
LEAGUE OF NATIONS PLEBISCITE PLAN

Vllna, May 12. (A. P.) The
Polish women of Vllna have taken up
cudgels agnlnst the league of nations.
They shouldered arms last summer
and fought (bolshevik soldiers tn de­
fense of the city and they assort they
will fight again if the league should
attempt to send an International I
army to police the disputed territory!
in event of a plebiscite.
Vllna. at present, is occupied by
General Lucien Zellgowskl. anil some
20,000 Polish soldiers, while repre­
sentatives of I'oland and Lithuania,
with the league of nations as media­
tor, have been conferring with the
vlow of determining the fate of the
Vllna district, which is called Central
Lithuania by General Zeligowskl and
his adherents.
The league's military commission
of control, which since last fall has
been endeavoring to settle the con­
troversy between Poland and Llthu-
anla. until recently made its head­
quarters In Vllna. The control com­
mission has never been popular in
Vllna. Dy a -recent decision which
denied women the right of franchise,
should a plebiscite bo held, the com­
mission came Into greater disfavor
than ever, especially among the wom­
en. The commission members con­
tend that the birth records of Cen­
tral Mthuanla are so Incomplete that
the voting of women would only com­
plicate matters
It was in consequence of this de­
cision. and to manifest their disap­
proval. that a crowd of women at-
tacked the commission's chairman.
