win you kindly inform me whether
Napoleon was betrayed AT the battle of
Waterloo by Gen. Grouchy or whether
Grouchy failed on account OF floods, Sc.
TO get his army into action in time TO
prevent Napoleon's downfall? J. J. +.
Grouchy has been held guilty of gross
blunders at Waterloo, but there is no
basis to accuse him of treachery toward
Napoleon. His mistakes were in con-
tinuing his march to Wavre in a single
column, in moving by the right bank OF
the Dyle. in reporting to Napoleon in
te%lligence that proved false, in failing to
march toward Waterloo when he heard
the first firing, in scattering his force
To attack several bridges, instead of
one, over the Dyle, 1t Is true tina the
marshal won n tactical victory in the
action of WaVre, but this in no
way helped Napoleon. Undoubtedly
G%rouChy's bad manTuvres were a prln-
Cipal cause of the Emperor's defeat.
Yet, when he got news of the catas-
trophe, "in n flash he realized his dam
ger and made prompt arrangements to
begin his retreat This re-
treat he carried out %resolutely, skilfully
and rapidly, slipping past Bluecher and
finally bringing his force to Paris
That was not the deed OF a traitor.

The idea evidently is that MS the win

he should share In the spoils but in
both black Jack and black lady there
are fourteen cards that pay "A penalty

The one who has taken In the spade

the queen OF spades really belongs to the

W. S. says: To decide a small bet. in
counting up the protection of three suits
for a no trumper would four 10 the ten
be considered enough?
Many players so consider It If the
rest of the hand Is very good, partly be-
cause they do not want such a trife to
prevent their showing what might be a
valuable assisting hand to the partner
and partly because the odds are greatly
ga,nst the opponents having an -four
honors In one suit and being able TO
make them all separately.

ID. l.. i. says: Four men are playing
late at the club when dummy Is called /
the telephone. As he leaves the table he
says, "Fend revokes." While he is gone
his partner revokes twice in the same
suit through having a smar spade among
his clubs. Can the adversaries take the
penalty?
II is not stated whether the adver-
saries asked the declarer IL he a any
clubs. 1t is their duty to do so In the
absence Of the dummy. and their failure
to ask bars them from demanding any
revoke penalty. II they ask him and he
answers in the negative or by silence,
which is an answer. they are entitled to
the penalty.

Dummy insists that the twelfth trick
was not complete and that he had not
time to ask his partner.
The declarer's showing his last card
after trumping the twelfth trick was
evidently with the idea OF demonstrat-
taken as leading or playing TO the fol-
lowing trick" which in itself is enough
to establish q revoke, regardless Of tn'
non-completion of the previous trick or
OF any question by his partner.

SCHOOL FOR CARD PLAYERS.

Auction Bridge. J. II. T. says: Dur
ing the play OF a hand dummy discovers
that his partner has revoked, but says
nothing about It and the opponents do
not claim any penalty, 70 the score is
put down. Just as n hint to be more
careful In future dummy calls his part
ner's attention to the revoke, w%hereupon
the opponents take 100 penalty for II
and cancel the score made by the de-
clarer. Is this correct?
1t Is assumed that dummy failed to
ask his partner II he had any of the suit
to which he renounced and it is not
stated whether the cards had been cut
for the following deal or not. Putting
down the score does not prevent the OPP
ponents from ~exacting the penalty. as
that is frequently put down before the
last trick is turned down or ever COM
plote when the result Is obvious. II the
cards had been cut for the next deal the
score stands; otherwise the opponents
are right.

plies that he has. A calls for rs high

correct. but a paragraph has been added
to law sc marked sea which says that
