CodsoI Amassed " ealth
While Still q Boy by
Selling Synthetic Gems

Frank ]. Godsol is native Of Cleve-
land He was wealthy at twenty-five
and a millionaire at thirty, having
started as a jewelry salesman and
branching out as the owner of round
the-world chain of stores that special
lied in synthetic gems.
Twelve or thirteen years ago he be-
came a citizen of France, after having
settled in Paris and ventured into the
automobile and moving picture theatre
businesses. When Germany started the
war he was drafted into the French
army, and it was while still a private
and the driver Of French generals
motorcar that he entered into the con-
tracts with the French War Office
which afterward were made the basis
of fraud charges.
Godsol is credited with having made
about 81 100000 year throughout the
in March, 1918, when he went to Wash
ington and surrendered. All along he
maintained that his contracts were
legitimate and that ne was simply the
victim of q political battle between
Captain Andre Tardieu, then french
High Commissioner in this country, and
Albert Thomas, the French Socialist
leader, who was Minister of Munitions
at the time Godsol, or his Paris firm,
was made agent for various American
makes of motor trucks suitable for
army use.
AS g matter of fact, the same
charges were preferred against him in
1916, while he was in this country on
purchasing mission. He returned to
Paris, confronted his accusers and was
eXonerated
After Godsol had surrendered in
Washington the proceedings to extra
dite him were postponed several times,
though he was urgent for a court test
He was held in the District of Coum-
bia jail from March until July And
all the while he drew commissions on
the French army truck purchases by
virtue of the War Office contracts.
Meanwhile, through his wife, the
sister of his Office chief in Paris, he
conducted his business as partner
of A. II. Woods and other theatrical
managers in New York
Imam y. bryan, former Secretary
OF State, became interested in the case
and was said to have presented God
soils pleas to the State Department.
Various state officials of New York
also became assured Of his innocence
and interested themselves in his be-
half. That was prior to the court
phase of the proceedings.
Godsol was the son OF jewelry
manufacturer Of Cleveland, an immi-
grant from Russia. He went West
while still boy and amassed a fortune
in few years in Montana. Then he
established the Saretecora and Brazil
ian diamond business, that had an amaa-
ing success. Later he invaded Europe
and launched the Teca Pearl, syn
thetic gem which enabled the possess
ors of priceless strings of pearls to
put their treasures in safety deposit
boxes and at the same time appear
properly jewelled.
He has just turned forty-fve.

WASHINGTON, March 31.-War army
officers who are applying for COM

lack of legislation they should consider
carefully before placing themselves in
that classification. Applications for re-
classification with a view to discharge
when the services of the officer can be
spared will be considered
1t is suggested that a general re
duction in grade of temporary officers
upon entering the permanent establish

governing the grade to which officers
are to be appointed, and their relative

Il am fully persuaded that within
the next years the Democratic party
must either repudiate President Will

the Socialist doctrines. He has already
led our party-or rather | should say,
he has already driven our party-into
a reluctant support of many socialistlc

he will have committed us, unless his
power in that regard is challenged, ir-

On Espionage by

Practice Necessary in War,

WASHINGTON, March 31.-Private
organizations formed to detect viola

Esplonage conducted by private in

Concern Shown at
Washington Over
Peace Table Split
Differences ON Reparation
and Policy Toward Boil
sleviki Cause Anxiety;
Fear Lenine Recognition
Neto York Tribune
Wdshin Oton Bureau

WASHINGTON, March 31--Both in
the State Department and among ad
ministration Senators there is great
anxiety over the reports from Paris of
the sharp split in the peace conference,
particularly over the action to be taken
with regard to the Bosheviki and the
differences over reparation.
There is fixed opinion in many
minds here that the President is paw
ing the way to recognition Of the Len
inc and Trotzky government. This is
not credited at the State Department,
where high official declared he would
be "amazed" if the President should
take such a course.
1t is stated positively at the State
Department that there has been no
recognition whatever of Martens, the
Bolshevik ambassador. There has not
even been an acknowledgment Of the
receipt of his credentials. His papers
have been forwarded to Paris, it is
said, for consideration of President
Wilson and Secretary of State Lansing.
Acting Secretary Of State Frank L.
Polk has not been in Washington since
Martens sent in his credentials, but it
is said at the department that he
would not handle this question any
how. it being matter which in the
very nature of things would have to be
sent to Paris for action.
Still Hope in Wilson
Administration Senators do not view
the Bolshevik situation with great
alarm, being confident that Mr.. Wilson
will smooth this out in some way.
and postpone any action until
more propotious time. They are
more worried about the differences
over reparation.
cock, the Presidents warmest defender
on all questions before the Paris peace
conference, that there is no neces-
sity of taking any immediate action
with regard to the BoIsheviki. That
is matter which could be permitted
to run along until afterward. | can
not conceive, when the time comes to
deal with it, that the Bolsheviki could
offer any effectual resistance to what
ever the Allies might decide to do. In
the matter of force they are disor-
ganized, practically mob. They have
no munitions. They have no good Of
ficers. save few who are not in SYM
pathy with their purposes. They could
not oppose seriously such a force as
the Allies could send against them.
Obstacle Seen in Reparation
The differences over reparation
seem to me very serious indeed. I
fear that France and Great Britain, too.
are hoping for too much. Thev are
hoping for far more than Germany can
possibly pay. The last British election
was won on the platform of making
Germany pay the entire cost of the
war. Germany would simply disin-
tegrate under such burden 1t would
not be possible to obtain it.
But it is very important that there
should bea speedy conclusion Of peace
with ITS accompanying return to nor
NAL That is where Senators opposing
this or that in the peace treaty will find
public opinion not only of the country.
but of the world, so strong that thew
will not be able to stand up against it. )"
