Fries Makes His Annual Re-
port to Secretary Of War
( Today.

Washington, Nov. S0.-Declaring
that the world war demonstrated that
an enemy bent on aggression cannot
be. trusted to live up 20 any set rules
for war" Brigadier General Amos A..
Fries, chief Of the chemical warfare
service Of the army, in his annual re-
port to Secretary Baker today, asserts
that the development Of this branch
Of the. United States army to point
where 1t is impossible for any nation
to- go further" will do much toward
deterring other nations from forcing
hostilities against the United States.
This country is in position to
manufacture and deliver on the field
of battle. more chemicals than any
General Fries, adding that "the United
States has wisely decided to continue
the chemicalwarfare service with suf-
f1cient powers and funds to develop its
possibilities, not for aggression, but
to insure that If American boys must
ever again shoulder arms in defense
of the liberty of their country they
will do so on an equal footing with
any other nation so far as chemical
warfare is concerned"
During the past year the service has
conducted experiments of great
value in the presenting Of new gas and
chemical instruments of war, the re-
port says, and has effected close
liasion with chemists and chemical So
cieties in civil life.
All formal war contracts Of the
service have been settled and in
formal contracts are more than 9s
per cent liquidated. the report asserts
OF the formal contracts. 1,214 have
been settled for slightly more than
$2S7,000, a saving to the government

Counsel Declares Before The
Court That Scheme Was
Not Intended As A "Get
Rich Quick" Swindle Deal.

+ Boston. Mass, Nov. 3O.-Charles
Ponzi, promoter of the Quick-rich
scheme in which thousands of persons
invested millions of dollars before it
collapsed last August, pleaded guilty
to using the mails in a scheme to de-
fraud, in the federal district court to-
day.
Sentence of five years in the Plym-
outh county Jail was imposed by
sideration only the first count of one
indictment of "A counts, in which it
was charged that Ponzi had repre-
sented falsely that he was able to pay

tional postal reply coupons.
Argued for Short SenIence.
In arguing on the question of SEN
tence. Daniel H. Coakley, senior coun-
sci for Ponzi, told the court that it
was only after advice from counsel
and members Of the discredited fin
ancier's family, that he agreed to re-
tract his plea of not guilty and plead
guilty instead. Mr.. Ponzi insisted.
and still insists that there was in his
mind mo intent to defraud any one,''
his counsel declared.
The little Italian, who, with prison
sentences in Canada and this country
behind him. developed his supposed
scheme Of exchange in international
postal reply coupons to proportions
that made him marked figure in f.
nance only to have his house of easy
money topple over on him when the
props Of income from investors were
pulled out had an air of swagger
when he faced the court.
4 AS he faced another prison sentence
while his youthful wife sobbed on his
shoulder, he penciled in memoran.

public. "Sic Transit Gloria Mundi,'

and handed it to the press.
4 He was emphatic when he said II

he wished to change his plea OF not
guilty and was equally assertive as he
made the plea Guilty in loud tones
in the next breath. Then Ponzi lean-
ed over, resting his head on his arm,
while he listened to his counsels plea
for light sentence.
Ponxi will begin his sentence at the
county jail in Plymouth with 85
counts Of the other indictments
