Geneva, Switzerland. Sept. Lp.- Poland seems determined to force a clcar-cut decision by the league of nations on the question of outlaw ing war.

Poland will introduce more drastic one with the idea Of putting the league assembly on record as 10 whether it desires q ninglesS expression Of idealism.
 The new draft declares that every war of aggression is anI will be forhiddnn," and adds:
 "The assembly declares tha, thc members Of the league Of nations are under obligation 10 obey this principle. and requests them 10 mo- go'iate pac'S of aggression in spir"1 with the idea that pacific means should be employed for the

 The war of aggression question also came up in the loague council vest erday when Sir Austen Cham berlin.

 The Connecticut accident death rate. which has increased ten-fold in than that for the whole of the United States the study shows. The ratio of injured to killed was slightly less than 3o to 1 last year.
 In giving consideration to the economies loss. Professor Kirby says that motor vehicle accidents will shortly be causing property damage at the rate Of two and a half mil lion dollars annually. He compares this with the original cost of the state capitol, s2.532,524.
 'Inattention" is found as an over Nhelmingly preponderant cause Of accidents in 1926. Failure 10 grant right of way" is also listed as cause of many accidents as well as intoXication on the part Of the drivers. Single drinks" Professor Kirby adds may well have caused thousands Of accidents: unfortun- ately statistics do not cover single drinks"
 Five favorable and five unfavor- able aspects are found under sum- mary of Connecticut conditions at the close of 1926. Under favorable are: Slightly lower rate of increase in the number Of accident: fewer deaths. especially in smaller towns: fewer children and youths killed than in 1925: decrease in ratio of number of accidents 10 number of cars registered; slightly lower acCi- dent rate for commercial cars.
 Cnfavorahlc conditions include: Total number of accidents inCreas- ing: more older persons killed each year. many more persons reported injured: property damage incrcas- ing: accident rates for busses and taXlcahs increasing rapidly,

Loss Of Life in Conn. TabulatM
 by Prof. Kirby

"Thlrty-two hundred persons. as many as all of the residents of nine towns-Bethany. Hartland. Marl- I boro. Morris, RoXbury. Salem, Scot land. Union and Warren-have lost their lives in automobile accidents in 1 Connecticut since 1910. At least 65,- 100. a number equal to the popua- ton Of 63 other towns, have been more or less injured, and twelve million dollars Of property de- stroyed.'
 The above figures have been de termined hy Professor Richard shelton Kirby of the Department ot Civil Engineering, Yale university who finds. notwithstanding these appalling losses. that the attitude of the public, for the most part is con- fined 10 "pious expressions of hope that in some way the situation may soon improve"
 If our state Of Connecticut" be says, had been visited by q myster- ious and malignant disease, which in Y years had entirely wiped out the population Of nine of it's towns and more or less severely injured every man. woman and child in at least 63 other towns, and if. as a minor feature Of the same strange visitation. twelve million dollars of our property had been destroyed we should not treat the matter lightly. |, pressions Of hope that in some way the situation might soon improve"
 Professor Nirby's estimates are arrived at after several months Of study of motor vehicle statistics in cooperation with the state motor vehicle department and under sub scription or the Hartley Corporation Of which Mrs. Helen Hartley Jcn- liDs Of Norfolk is patron and foun- der. The results have been published in a booklet, "A Study Of Motor Ne- liClc Accidents in Connecticut" IL supplements earlier printed studies of a similar nature. While primarily concerned with accidents during 1928 the work has been extended 10 include every accident of Whih there is authentic record.
 Autos ,s. Disease
 "1n 1928 alone" Professor Kirby finds there were killed in automo- bile accidents in Connecticut four times as many as died from diph- theria, and twelve time as many as
  times as many as died from both diseases combined" By means of a chart he illustrates the declining
