Joseph Pilsudski, President of Poland, resigned today.

The question of the control of Vilna was discus: by representatives of Poland and Lithuania in conference at Geneva early in September. It was then agreed tha' there should be two"Lith- ‘uanias, one the district of Kovno, which should be independent, and the other Vitna, which the Poles should super- vise the administration.
