A Lithuanian cultural jubilee

On the 8th of June the Lithuanian community celebrated the twentieth anniversary of the winning back of the Lithuanian press. Unfortunately, for the Vilnia Lithuanians this coincided with a heavy blow: the Polish authorities ordered one of the most active Lithuanian figures in Vilnia, Dr. Alseika, to wind up all his affairs by the 1st of July, take out a foreign passport (for money, of course!) and leave the borders of the Polish Republic with his whole family. If he does not leave of his own accord, he will be taken to Lithuania by force.

Greeting the Lithuanian press, in the brotherhood of the press, on its twentieth jubilee, we send at the same time to the Lithuanian community of Vilnia, which has lost its energetic worker, words of sincere sympathy.
