NOTE TO POLAND
CREATES RAINFUL SENSATION
WARSAW, 9th June. Litvinoff’s Note lias caused a painful sensation in Poland. Nevertheless, the Government will nob be deflected from its normal course. It is understood that it will reply emphatically disclaiming responsibility for the crime. The police, acting on the supposition that the murder is the result of a plot, have arrested thirty Russian Monarchists at Vilda and seven at Warsaw. The arrests include a number of ex-Czarist generals and General Gorlow, representative of Grand Duke Nikolas Nikolaevitch.
It has not been decided yet whether Kowerda will be tried by the ordinary court, which can award the maximum sentence of fifteen years, or by courtmartial, which can sentence to death, with which alone it is believed Russia will be satisfied.
The Polish legation at Moscow is guarded by cavalry patrols. A great funeral is being arranged with a mass parade in Red Square in front of Lenin’s tomb. Officials of the Commissariat of Foreign Affairs have been ordered to observe mourning for a fortnight. The city is flying black-bordered red flags.
