Agreement Refused, Sen

British Copy.
UNFINISHED PACTs ARE
HELD BACK As FUNCTION

Washington. Sept. 1.-The request of
the foreign relations committee for latest
drafts Of the proposed treaties with Ger
many's allies-Austria Hungary, Turkey
and Bulgara-has been refused by
President Wilson, on the ground that
compliance would set a precedent en-
couraging senatorial encroachment on
the presidential power of treaty nego-
tiation.
In an exchange of letters made public
today, Mr.. Wilson wrote that it was out
of the question" to accede to the COM
mittee's suggestion.
Senator Lodge wrote in reply that the
committee had asked only for such in
formation as it would be compatible
with the public interest to give. and ad-
ded that the decision as to whether it
was expedient to give any information
about them at all undoubtedly rested
with the president.
Again an Impasse.
The correspondence apparently brought
another impasse between the president
and the committee on the much debated
subject Of what information the senators
should have in their consideration of the
treaty with Germany Mr.. Lodge and
others have declared the committee could
not act intelligently until All Of the Yer
sailIes treaties were before it. but at the
White House conference Mr.. Wilson told
the committee the form to be taken by
the four treaties under negotiation de
pended largely on the senate's action re-
sarding the instrument now before II.
"k.Il Righr, We Have IT,
Al the same time. the president re-
fused the committees request for the
declaration of June 49, signed by the
United States and other powers to cover
nf thn
"a certain embarrassment would be
caused" President Wilson wrote, IF the
declaration were made public now.
Senator Lodge replied that the dec
laration had already been printed In the
congressional record, having reached
members Of the committee through the
British white book. and also had been
submitted to the house July 4.
Others Sent Friday.
The treaty with Poland and another
Rhine agreement, that Of July Is. also
asked for. were sent to the senate by
the president last Friday.
The committee did not meet today, but
tomorrow it will resume its hearings
and. probably. will work on proposed
amendments and reservations to the
treaty with Germany.
The only amendment pending before
the committee now is proposal by
Senator Fal. republican, New Mexico. to

Every now and then some one writes
to THE SUN asking how II is that play
ers OF the class that are supposed to
meet ct the Knickerbocker duplicate
games make such a variety Of declara-
tons and arrive at such different re-
suits In the play OF the same cards.
As to the variety OF declarations that
is something which can be explained
only in one way. There are still count
less thousands OF supposedly fine play
ers who do not know how to value
hand. There are other thousands
who know but who cannot resist the
temptation to make bids they know they
should not make They like to take a
chance, even with the odds hung up
against them. There are others whom
experience never teaches.
When II comes to the play duplicate
Is still unreliable as a test except over
long series OF games. because so much
depends on the calibre of the play
against you. Put one weak pair in the
game and at one table they will throw
away several hundred points In four
deals. At another table they could not
throw anything II they tried. The
hands play themselves.
There Is no accounting for the way
some minds work in playing a hand.
The average player will sometimes
evolve scheme that works out beauti-
fully but which may have stood to lose
three or four tricks. Here Is hand
In which the dealer at one table sue
cessfully brought Off what he con-
sidered very brilliant play by seeing
that unless "a certain card was on his
left he could not make either contract
or game. The card was there, but he
made bottom score on the hand, simply
by his brilliancy.
