POLAND'S GREED,

"BEGGARS ON HORSEBACK."

LONDON, October 12. (Received October 13, at 10.10 a.m )

It is reported that General Zelignowski's action in resigning his command in the Polish army was due to the fact that his troops were chiefly inhabitants of the Vilna and Grodno districts. The Lithuanian Government have confiscated the property of .the Lithuanians serving in the Polish army, designating them traitors.

_ Zelignowski's troops resented the armistice terms giving Vilna to Lithuania without consulting the inhabitants as to the right of self-determination. The- League of -Nations Mission are at present traversing Poland, but the feelings of the Poles towards the mission are not amiable.
