The offices of the “Kurier Wilenski”, the chief pro-Government paper in Vilna, were attacked to-day by a crowd of National Democratic students, angry because it published an article denouncing the anti-Jewish excesses at the University.

At the same time, the “Slowo”, the “Express Wilenski”, the “Wiadomoci Wilenski” and the Vilna Yiddish daily “Tog”, which is edited by Mr. Zalman Reisen, Director of the Yiddish Scientific Institute in Vilna, have been confiscated for publishing reports of the disturbances which are not approved by the authorities.
