INSIDE JOB SAY
 ROBBERY SLEUTHS.
$SO,OOO in Gems Lifted by
 Someone Who Had Entry

New York, Sept, 11,-Investigators in charge of the search for jewelry valued at about $25O,O0O, stolen from the home Of J, s, Cosden at Sands Poilt, Long Island, on Mon- day night, today were convinced that entrance was not forced from the outside of the building, They reached this conclusion after they had made careful examination of the premises and after questioning the 20 servants employed in the cdsden household.
 The investigators were more pug 2lrd than ever in their search for a clue when they learned that a stew ard employed by Mir Cosden had been on duty oh the ground floor of rhe house throughout Monday night. In addition guards were on duty continually on the grounds of the estate, known as Cellars. Question ing Of the servants, l2 of whom are women, was continued.
 The robbery has not vet been re- ported 10 he Long Island police or those of New York city. The inves- tigation is in the hands of the Luisi Investigating Company, Inc, repre- sentne Lloyd's. and by q detective agency representing the Federal In- >uranCc company which with Lloyds carried Insurance on the stolen jew clry.
 Articles stolen from Mrs. Cosden, it Was learned today included a black pearl ring, valued at $40,OO0. d pink pearl ring worth $25,O0O and a pigeon blood ruby ring valued at more than $30,000. Lady Mountbat- fen, who, with Lord Mountbatten, is visiting at the Cosden home, lost rings and bracelets worth S15.000. Lord Mountbattcn is q cousin of the Prince of Wales, who was guest at two social functions at the Cosden home last week.
 On the night of the theft, the Cos dens and their guests, including Mrs. Richard Norton, who came to this country as a member of the Princes party, attended q dance at the Glen Cove home of F. Ambrose Clark. They returned home about o'clock in the morning. the women leaving most of their jewery lying on the tops of dressing tables, The next morning the jeWelry had disap- peared.

SMALL VARIANCE SHOWN
 IN REALTY ASSESSMENT
Local Assessors Have Increase Per centage of Sale Value on Their
 Books of l-I0 of One r, c.

Real estate assessments in this city varied but one tenth of one per cent of the market value in the past two years, report submitted by State Tax Commissioner William II. Blodgett to the board of assessors today shows
 In 1922 an investigator from the office of Commissioner Blodgett took 50 real estate deals, found their sale prices and made comparisons with the assessments levied at the office of the board of assessors. He found that the assessments were S3.9 of the sale value. In 1923. the investi- gator took like number and his comparisons indicate that assess ments we're Si per cent of the sale value, a variance of but 1-10 of one per cent.
 Several months ago Appraisal En- gineer Thomas Linder, acting at the suggestion of the tax commissioner, submitted a report on local assess ments and he estimated the per centage to be SS per cent which was but a fraction under what later in- spections disclosed.

WEEKS EXPLAINS
 DEFENSE DAY
Test Only a Picture Of What
 Would Happen in War

Washington, Sept. 11.--Test Of TOW will be only a 'telescoped" pie .ture of what an actual war expan- sion would mean, Secretary Weeks said today in a final statement eX- rlaining the origin and purposes of the defense project.
 Actual mobilization, he added, must of necessity he a prolonged and progressive process with the increase of the army 10 Its war footing pro- ceeding in successive mobilization in order of the regular arms, national guard and organized reserves. No practicable way of conducting q test of that nature coufd be devised, he pointed out, and the one-day test in which the preliminary operations of all three phases of the defense plan should be consolidated for simul- taneous partial tryout afforded the only method by which needed infor- nation as to their soundness could be obtained. Mir. Weeks said that in an actual war emergency any att tempt at simultaneous mobilization would be prohibited by shortage of equipment" He added that an ac- tual, progressive mobilization cannot be demonstrated in day
 'It is desirable that the public rec ognize," Mr. Weeks said, "the fact that any large expansion of our skel- eton forces must extend over 8 period of months and that Fridays demonstration will be telescoped to certain extent.

 Colonial precedent for such Q movement as the defense test exist ed, Mir, Weeks said. as in colonial times "all bodied citizens on a day set aside for the purpose. re- ported with their rifles to the nearest village and drilled upon its com mons"
 MT. Weeks described the four years study of defense problems made by the war department as re- quired by law since the World War. The examination of what had hap pened in every war emergency in the country's history, he said, had dis closed the system used in revolution ary times to be the most promising of good results.
 Test of Personel

DRAFT IN FITURE WARS

The next time war is declared, '' says Lieutenant Colonel K. A. Joyce "the draft must be extended 10 all men of working age for duty in all tle industries. We must remedy the impossible situation of one man making himself q target for bullets al S3O per month and the other man working in shipyard al S2U a day"
 there will never be occasion for an- other draft it must be admitted that the only logical form for a democ- racy is one that calls for the near est possible approach 10 au equality .,e sacrifice.
 But to b" perfectly equal the draft must not be limited to what are cnm- n nonly called the industries. It should apply without reservation to every adult earning money in what ever form.
 Banker Frank 4. Vanderlip or steel magnate Schwab should be in c'uded along with the butcher, the ba ker and the candIestick maker.
 The net income of all should. be the income of the soldier in uniform and if the pay is not enough for the citizen to live on lei the pay of the soldier be raised. The difference between the pay of the soldier and the earnings of the citizen will be more than sufficient to pay all ex pel1ses.
