America must worry about protecting | the interests of its nationals almost as much as any European country has to worry about the security of her fron- tiers. Yet the United States, although it has not signed the treaty of Ver- to disarm, has gone ahead and reduced its Army and Navy. Our leaders expect the American | dclegnuon at_Geneva to make capital of these facts and to induce other na- tions to follow suit. Ambassador Gib- son’s arguments will undoubtedly be | forceful and cannot fail to impress public opinion abroad.

Attorneys Whiteford, Marshall & Hart for the defendant noted an exception and told the court he was without jurisdiction to usurp the function of the jury. They will ap- peal the case, they stated. Counsel de- clared they had never known a directed verdict for the plaintiff. The court held that in the face of | an admission of receiving the money a written contract existed between the parties which could not be varied by a | counter claim that the money was bor- rowed from a sister of the plaintiff. ‘The case had been twice submitted to | the jury by two other members of the court and disagreement reported which caused the third trial, which ended to- day after occupving the attention of the court for two days. ‘The amount of food and drink con- weighs about a ton. | YOUNG PEOPLE’S NIGHT TO BE HELD AT HAMLINE ARMY ORDERS | | Col.
