On January 11 Secretary Kellogg parried neatly with a thrust that the editorial galleries applauded long and loud: that a multilateral treaty be drawn up outlawing every kind of war. This proposal France declined. Three days ago Mr. Kellogg gently renewed it, and now the French foreign office has gone slightly berserk with impatience over the incomprehension of the American...

...Defender is none other than Richard Dix, wearing a warm coat of California tan. An inevitably charming and good-natured outlaw, he cracks his long whip, shoots, stabs as if he were playing the role of a contemporary gangster instead of Joaquin Murrietta whose career was a trail of blood, bullets, alcohol and love for a pure sweet girl through the days of '49. There is no need to fear that Jake Hamby and his gang will be spry enough to catch and hang so gallant a jack, although they make violent efforts...
