COMEDY DRAMA AT LIBERTY TOMORROW
 PATSY RUTH MILLER

For sheer naturalness and unforced tenderness, for bluff, hard-fisted cour- age and loyalty and mirth, What Every Girl Should Know" is unsur- passed. This is partly because Chas. F. Reisner, who directed Syd Chaplin in "The Better 'Ole," directed it. An other reason, he was working with an exceptionally human story by John Wagner.
 Patsy Ruth Miller's deftness in outdoor sports generally, inspired the author to build the play especially for her. She is cast as Mamie Sullivan, little mother" to two orphan broth CTS. The older is cast into prison wrongfully on circumstantial evidence. The younger is committed to an or phanage, a fate which overtaKes Mamie herself, for that matter.
 The funny, fighting ways in which she wins freedom for both Of them and for herself makes an evenings entertainment hard to beat. It IS simple heart-warming story about g brave little family and about
 But you owe it to yourself to go sec What Every Girl Should Know"

ships are built we shall still be inferior to Great Brit
ain and below our treaty ratio in respect to japan.
These ships are demanded by the most elementary
considerations Of naval defense and the protection af
our shipping. They will constitute neither a big"
Davy nor n threat Of aggression to any one.
The relation Of the Kellogg treaty to sclf-defenss
has been stated by its author. In his note cf-June 20.
1925, Mr.. Kellogg said:
There is nothing in the American draft Of an anti
war treaty which restricts or impairs in any way the
right of self-defense. That right is inherent in every
sovereign state and is implicit in every treaty. Every
nation is free at ali times and regardless Of treaty
provisions to defend its territory from attack or in
v%asion, and il alone is competent TO decide whether
circumstances require recourse to war in self-defense.'
IL Mr.. kellogg had not claimed this dubious aspect
Of the treaty it could not have been sincerely adhered
to by any nation. When these friends of peace argue
that the treaty is inconsistent with reasonable safe
guards for defense they do the treaty a grave dis
service. In view Of Mr.. Kcllogg's note and the French
and British reservations, we are of the opinion that
it can be safely ratified with only an informal refer
ence to these reservations. These misleading pleas for
the treaty and against the naval bill only lend aid and
comfort TO its opponents, Senators Reed and Moses.
There Is only one sensible answer to such pleas and
only one safe way to protect the treaty from these dan.
thereby confirming Mr.. Kellogg's Interpretation Of the
treaty that IL in no way restricts the right or Americz
TO protect its shores, its citizens or it's commerce.
