American people, |. IS not strange that tneV should mlstrust us. They are ot a differ ent race, speak a different language, pos sess different tastes and customs. Their masses are unedueated and do not under stand us, while their leaders are proud and ambitious to govern. The common people amongst the CublnS cannot comprehend an unseliish desire on our part to advance civilization, trusting to their progress ln the arts of industry to furnish us our re- ward through the regular channels oi trade. lt.iS not unnatural that the Cuban politicians have not assisted in promoting a better understanding of the situation.
 As much ss we would like lt otherwise, our word has been given and must be Sa' ereIlv kept. The separation that IS to some is lar more unfortUne for the CubanS than for us. Though it would be, per haps, far easier for our country to govern Cuba than it will be to protect itS govern ment and American and other foreign h. teres,s on the island when it becomes an independent nation. No matter what hap pens, the United States government will never permit the despoil'ng of the Island Our influence must and will be paramount there, and other countries will naturally look to the United ateS to protect their commerce as We would our own.
 Notwithstanding that there will be a separatIon, the Americans will not give up the hope of ultimate ownership of Cuba This country has given them a model gov emment during the last year and it will improve. The withdrawal of our country will not take place at once. When it doe' a record will have been established thai

opened fairly poor, reached the top notch
about the NTH or sixth day. and then re
coded eight or ten points, to rise to an ave
rage OF about 43 per cent at the close.

Trick 2. In this case p is not willing to
risk the trump lead. at least not before
showing his suit.
Trick 3. Now tho question arises, will
II be better to go right along with the
clubs and give discards, or should lead
the trumps and attempt to make the two
suits which they appear to control? This
is a common situation, and 1t will bear
thinking about. naturally argues that II
he leads trumps and succeeds in getting
them out the only suit which can be made
is the spades. because he has no re-
entry with which to bring in the clubs, and
the adversaries will certainly not lead that
suit to him This leads to conclude that
although ABB have apparently two suits
solid between them, It is better for to go
on and give his partner discards than to
lead the trumps for the protection OF the
two established suits.
p goes down to the club ten to show his
partner that he holds A J also This is In
order to warn A that he may expect two
or three dscards and arrange for them ac-
cordingly. 1t sometimes makes great diff
ference to a player to know whether he Is
to get two discards or only one.
A takes advantage of this information by
beginning a signal for trumps. the compile
tion OF which will blank his king. How will
the rules about dscarding weak suits and
not banking honors At like this?
Many players would lead trumps on the dis
card OF the nine, but will not DO so even
on the completion of the call. He considers
1t better to let A over trump 2 or get rid Of
all his diamonds. as he thinks best
Trick 6. Although z knows that A will
certainly win the diamond trick. with a
trump or with the ace, he deems it better to
try to force him than to lead the spades
through him. AS the cards lie II makes no
difference what he does II plays we'll.
Trick 10. This is one Of those situations
in which careful reading OF the cards wins
tricks. A knows that his partner holds the
long club and should hold the seven OF
trumps. Now, IL does not hold the spade
nine he has no more and the nine is guard
ed in rs hand II holds more A will
lose a trick by going with the TO-
passes as the only chance to make his suit.
He sees that II he ruffs he is dead, no mat
ter how the spades lie.

Surely IL is pedantry run mad. Why am /.
in these trightful circumstances, hghting for
dear life and breathing with the greatest
dif1culty, to disclose my vital parts to a
powerful and remorseless enemy? From
whom am to get the suit that / wish led =?
Why am / to be debarred from using my
common sense, II have any? II / have a
suit in which l hope to make a trick by re-
naming quiet, am ] to invite my partner
to put me under the harrow by making me
third player In It? Among good players the
forced discard amounts to this That though
you are aware your partner is discarding
with the best possible motives. and he
is aware that you are doing the same
neither can depend upon the others discard
as showing anything for certain"
Whist Strategy" says: The modern the
DRY OF the discard Isl In attack, or when
playing a forward game, preserve your own
and your partners suits letting everything
else go, even unguarding honors and leav
ing aces blank. In defence, discard from
your own and your partners suits. keeping
guard on those Of the adversary. The player
must be particularly on his guard against
drawing too rigid differences from dscards.
1t must be remembered that the false dis
card is too often a stratagem to mask
ell-placed tenace"
Sometimes a player is forced to discard
and does not know what to let go. At other
times. he Is very anxious to get discard.
and does not know how to secure II. Some
times a player does not know whether to
give his partner dscards not. and there
are cases in which II is highly important
to prevent player from discardng, for fear
he will make mess OF It. Take the follow
ing hand as an example OF such a case, the
heart nine turned:

A-B, while Clay and Paine were ". Us
play Is most extraordinary. He first gives
up his only reentry card, then he gives up
command OF his suit, and then he leads
trumps:
Trick 4. rs echo shows that Y did
not lead the fourth best OF five trumps, but
the higher OF two only.
Trick 8. z has a chance to make lit
tie trump here, but he prefers to throw
away his good suit. How often has 1t been
pointed out that 1t Is folly to refuse to
run SO as to bring in suit, and at the
same time to throw the suit away? can
not possibly have led a fourth best trump,
because that would necesstate his holding
X @ 10 4 2, the lead from which is a high
card.
Trick G. A still has reentry in the
second-best diamond guarded, SO he goes
on with the trumps without waiting to es-
tablish his suit.
Trick 9. This is another extraordinary
play. rs discard says, Il have not the
best spade. but all the others Y knows
his only possible reentry is the king OF
diamonds, which may hold, yet he takes,
or Attempts to take, out his reentry before
establishing his sur! II z had held the
king this play would have cost four tricks.
Trick IL. A knows that II had held the
spade ace he would have led IT. so 1t must
be with B. 1t is also clear that b holds
the best diamond. AS b has no means
OF knowing whether A holds another dia
mond or another spade he may discard the
wrong card and to prevent his doing so
very cleverly gives up his winning club
and keeps his partner from an agonizing
choice Of discards.
When this hand was played at table n
five more tricks were made out OF YES
cards by Otis and Baker playing against
Horr and Taylor:
