Pre-Electoral Incident

Lithuanian troops busied themselves last week in expelling across their border a detachment of Polish frontier guards who had wandered into Lithuania while celebrating with valiant potations the Pilsudski coup. (TIME, May 24 et seq., POLAND.)

These nobly befuddled Poles, having continued their celebration and refused to be ejected for almost a month, alleged with great presence of mind last week that their sortie had been provoked by a lone Lithuanian private, who had wandered into Poland and been found with dumdum bullets in his pocket.

On the day following the adjustment of this virile incident, former Premier Kasmir Grinins was elected President of Lithuania.
