According to, the reports, Walde- maras is in hiding. These reports have not been con- firmed by the American consul. at Kovno, who wired that the “situation remains unchanged.” Lithuania has repeatedly protested against the at- tempts of the Polish, regime. Premier ,Waldemaras refused sev- eral days ago to discuss Polish-Lith- uanian trade with Poland, claiming that he did not recognize the present boundary between the -two countries. Waldemaras made it clear that peace- ful relations between the two coun- tries were impossible unless Lithuania recovered Vilna. Pilsudski has made it clear on a number of occasions that Poland has no intention of returning Vilna to Lithuania. In spite of the “peace,”’ supposed to have been arranged by the League of. Nations last month, relations between the two countries remain as strained as ever. Polish and Lithuanian fron- tier guards exchanged shots about a week ago; one Lithuanian soldier was wounded.
