Justice Gould of the District Su-

charged with defrauding the govern
pnent Of France out of $1.s0o.ooo. In
connection with the purchase OF au-
tomobile trucks for war use.
The court did not intimate when .
decision will Be rendered.
Closing Arguments.
f..s closing arguments for the re-
lease of Godsol were made today by
Attorney Wilton ]. Lambert and for
mer Senator Joseph W. Bailey. Both
lawyers insisted that the record fails
to substantiate the charge against
Godsol and that there remains moth
ing for the court to do but to dis
charge the prisoner. Godsol has been
IN custody since March g.
Mr.. Lambert dwelt at some length

"Doss Not Charge Crime"
AZ the outset Of his argument Sem
Ator Bailey said:.
II believe can demonstrate to your
honor, SO far as a legal proposition
II dsmonstrable, that the complaint
In this case does not substantially
charge a crime. and that the evidence
which has been introduced does not
substantiate even this insufficient
charge.
Before We attempt to determine
whether the complaint is sufncient or
tho evidence legal and adequate, II
will be we'll for US to fix clearly In
our minds the several ingredients OF
which this particular offense Of false
pretenses is composed"
The lawyer then gave his definition
Of the crime and, taking up each Of
the necessary components. attempted
to show an entire absence of proof to
sustain the charge that Godsol de-
Erauded the French republic.

The entire session Of the court yes

ment in favor of the release OF God
sol Mr.. Darlington contended that
not only was France not defrauded by
his client. but that Godsol really aided
the French republic by establishing
service statione without expense to
France, where trucks bought through
him were repaired without charge.
That the Pierce Arrow Company did
not consider that Godsol put anything
over on the lnpany was shown. ac-
cording to the lawyer, by the contin-
usd friendly business relations be-
tween the company and Godsol.

CHANGE TO SELL SURPLUS OF THE.
 POTATO CROPS

The drive which has been launched throughout the United States to en- courage the use of potatoes is being felt in Connecticut and many farmers are having an opportunity to sell the surplus potatoes they have on hand. Many inquiries have come to the Com mittee of Food Supply of the Connec- ticut State Council of Defense as to proper methods of grading potatoes for the market.
 The United States Department of Agriculture and the United States following grades:
 Grade 1 shall consist of potatoes practically free from dirt and other foreign substance and which are sound, without frost or sunburn in- jury or other damage, such as is caus- ed by disease, insects, or careless handling. These potatoes shall be one and seven-eighths inches in diameter in the long varieties and one and three-fourths inches in diameter in the round varieties. In order to allow for variations incident to handling, five per cent. of the lot by weight may be below the requirements of this grading rule.
 Grade 2 shall be sound potatoes as described above. but need only be one and one-half inches in diameter. A five per cent. leeway is allowed in this case also.
 The farmers selling potatoes need not consider grading any mysterious grading process. It is simply pick ing the potatoes over with one or two definite standards in mind, accordins to the information given out.

MANY SHORT CUTS. ARE DUE TO THE EXIGENCY OF WAR

It is marvellous how things get done in war time that are impossible of accomplishment in times of peace. The matter of daylight saving, for in- stance. This has been advocated for a number of years. But few people became interested in it. Popular inertia could not be overcome. Most of us laughed at it as mere decep- tion. It might have taken 20 years to convert the mass of the people to the idea. But in war time, it comes almost without effort
 Take the giving of money to phil anthropies. It is easier to get $100,- OOO,O today for the Red Cross, than it used to be to get 1000, 000 for the most useful and necessary philan- thropic cause in our country. This is partly because the need for this work is universally manifest. Yet there may have been many of our good causes in previous years that should appeal to everyone.
 Probably the reason for the change is that the spirit of sacrifice is in the air. We are all deeply impressed by the heroism of the soldiers. That makes people ashamed to sit at home and count their dollars. It would seem as if this greater openness of heart should continue after the war. Let us hope our people have learned g. lesson, and from now on will be | ashamed just to grasp and get, and never give to help suffering and re- | move ignorance.
 i We have all known that Congress distributed faors on a pork basis Also that the departments were strangled in network of restricting red tape. But no one party or group
 of statesmen had energy or courage | or determination or power enough | to root out these evils. When wal time comes, the people demand ef- l ficiency at once. The man or the
 group or party that does not get il
 has to go. If we can only carry
 this spirit into the time of recon.
 struction after the war, the losse:
 we have to face will not be wholly 1 in vain.

TRYING TO AVERT A CRISIS IN THE
 MEAT SITUATION

Asserting that the nation is con- fronted with grave situation owing to mistakes in handling the meat sit uation, the directors of the National Agricultural Society have passed reso-, lutions urging that committee be appointed to assist the food adminis- tration at Washington, the commit tee to be composed of persons act ually experienced in meat production and distribution.
 G. Howard Davison, Chairman Of the Society's Executive Committee said after the meeting that there was no intention of criticising the food ad- ministration and others immediately concerned, all of whom he declared had been periodically trying to solve the meat problem.
 Said MT. Davison: Everyone, in- cluding MT. Hoover, now admits that there must be a decided change in the policy of handling the meat situa- tion. At present there is a glut of meat and the outlook is that the pres ent condition of feast will make way for something approaching famine That is, unless the situation is hand led differently. The producers at present are so discouraged as the re- suit of their losses that they threaten to go out of the meat game. The inn mediate restoration of their confi- deRce and faith is essential, and in the opinion of our directors this can best be secured by mobilizing the ser vices of a number of persons who have had actual first-hand experience in the production and distribution ot meat.
 we shall submit to the food ad- ministration this week a list of names of men so qualified. It is sincerely tc be hoped that through this list, ol through some other list equally suit. ed, the food administration may be able to secure the practical assistance now so urgently needed"
