Fosdick Declares
League Is Sole
Bar Against War
Economic Boycott, He Says,
Is Impossible Without
Covenant: Next Conflict
One of Determination

Raymond d. Tosdcl, who resigned
recently as under secretary of the
league of nations for diplomatic rea-
sons, predicted yesterday at luncheon
Of the Kiwanis Club at the Hotel Nc
Alpin that without the league war is
inevitable, and that the next war will
be one of determination" in which
whole populations will be wiped out.
"lf the league of nations goes into
effect" he declared, "it provides sub
stitute for war. We have the eco
nomic boycott, which can isolate any
nation proving itself to be generally
incorrigible. Such a nation would re-
ceive bill of accommodation issued
by the league from it's seat Geneva and
representing the voice of humanity.
I'VE have a substitute for war;" con-
tinued Mr.. Fosdck, "but you can't have
the fruit of the tree without the tree,
and we cannot have the economic boy
colt without the league of nations, and
we cannot have league of nations
without little more intelligence in
Washington than VIC have been getting
of late
"The league does present a practical
way of solving war;" he said, Through
the economic boycott, but without it
war is inevitable. The next general
war will be one of determination, for
science is at the beginning of things
we do not begin to dream of. The time
is coming when whole populations can
be blotted out by the pressing of a
button"
Mr.. Fosdick explained in detail the
manner in which the league would
work. He said opposition to Article X
is baseless, because the United States,
which is one of the. nine members OF
the league council, always can veto any
proposition that would be dangerous to
it's best interests. He emphasized the
fact that no decision can be made by
the league council without unanimous
agreement.
He denied that the leaghe in effect
was a superstate, and said that the
charge that Article X committed the
United States to send troops to Europe
or Asia in the event of war was not
true. His version of Article X and the
reason it was written into the league
constitution was that it defends
smaller states from aggression by a
nation like Germany.

Veterans May Get More
Time to File Income Tax
Legionnaires Appeal TO State
Comptroller to Grant
an Extension

An extension Of time probably will
be granted all veterans OF the World
War in filing their income tax returns
in New York State, it became known
yesterday, as result Of an appeal
made to the State Comptroller by
George X. Shields and Ferdinand p.
Sanford, representing the 306th 1nfan-
try Post of the American Legion.
Shields and Sanford called the atten-
tion of the Comptroller to the fact
that while there was every indication
the provision of the income tax law
providing that soldiers and sailors
must pay tax on salary from the
government--would be repealed at the
present session of the Legislature, it
would be with difficulty that the money
could be refunded to the veterans.
If the extension is granted until the
repeal is passed the veterans then will
pay their tax, minus all mSney re-
ceived in the service. Mark Graves,
chief of the income tax bureau, has
assured the Legionnaires of his SYM
pathy, and has promised to make every
effort to grant the extension, as was
done in the case of the non-residents.

Federal Reserve Board
No Friction, but Need for Rest
Prompts Resignation,
HC Saws

WASHINGTON, March a. Albert
Strauss, Of New York, resigned to-day
as member Of the Federal Reserve
Board. Mr., Strauss said he had ac-
cepted appointment to the board with
the understanding that he would be al
lowed to retire when his work was
finished. He felt, he said, that this
time had come, especially in view of
his need for rest. His duties in
Washington and also abroad as a mem
ber Of the American financial mission
at the peace conference, he said. had
kept him away from home much longer
than he expected.
Mr.. Strauss was desirous to make
clear there had been no friction in the
board
Mr.. Strauss came to Washington soon
after the United States entered the
war, acting as adviser to Secretary Nc
Adoo on international finance. When
the War Trade Board was organized he
became member. In October, 1918, he
was asked to accept place on the
Federal Reserve Board.

JAIL HARD TO BREAK INTO.

Boy ConfeSses Crime.
Newton, Dec. 20.-Some people
think it is an easy matter to get in
jail but such is not always the case.
At least Gordon Goss, %, globe
trotter and confessed robber and hold
up artist, shares this opinion.
Goss arrived in Newton Friday af-
ternoon, was in a pool room Friday
night and while there he saw Chief
of Police Simpson. When the chief
left the pool room, Goss followed him
out and trailed him over to the fire
station where he asked the chief il
the city had a place where he tGoss)
could sleep. He said he had been
down to the jail and had asked for
lodging but that the sheriff had re-
fused him a place to sleep. The chief
told him the city furnished no free
lodging. Goss then asked Frank Bak-
er If he could stay in the fire station
and Mr.. Baker explained that such
permission could not be granted.
Goss then sat down In a chair and
appeared to be in deep study for
about fifteen minutes. Finally he
looked up and said to Chief Simpson:
Say, boss, I'd like to talk conf
dentially to you minute"
They drew aside and Goss then
said to the chief:
Il expect I will get twenty years
for this, but hit fellow over the
head with a gas pipe at Rockwell

$500 from him. I'm tired of running
