the conference hopes we're some
what buoyed UP by the prospect
of q more tractable French policy.
The radical socialists In the
French chamber were not welded
to a "big navy" policy as M.
Tardieu and his nationalist fol.
lowers. But with the defeat OF
Chautemps even this hope has
fled.
There remains in prospect, con-
sequently, nothing but the return
Of French delegation to London
more strongly committed than
ever to the big program which
M. Tardieu insisted upon, and
which almost wrecked the parley
when it was first presented sew
eral weeks ago.
In some quarters it is held that
a five-power treaty is now out Of
the question. There has always
been doubt as to whether this
could be accomplished, anyway.
and the French goyernm entail
flip-flop and confusion has only
served to increase the doubt.
There is small relish in Wash
ington, particularly in the Senate,
for three-power treaty embcac-
ing Great Britain, the United
States and Japan.
For one thing, it is well known
that Britain will enter no such
pact without contingent clause
which will permit her to increase
her navy commensurately with
French building. And the French
program, insisted upon by M.
Tardieu, calls for French navy
of 725.000 tons by 1886.
If American parity with the
British is to be Northumberland
that is a point upon which the
Senate is unanimouS-then the
United States would have to build
with Britain, ship for ship, and
the obvious result would be
greater navies all around instead
Of smaller.
What then. ask the conference
critics, becomes of the much
vaunted real reduction" which
President Hoover and Premier
Ramsay Macdonald spoke so
glowingly about in Washington
last October?
In these circumstances, Senate
critics are beginning to question
whether it would not be the
wiser course at this time to ad-
NIT the failure of the London
effort, adjourn the conference
indefinitely and wait for a more
propitious time and better prep
aration before tackling the prob
lem anew in 1885 or 1896.
Meanwhile, the United States
must build, anyway, in cruisers
if the goal of Anglo-American
parity is to be achieved.

stepped from her apartment on
the third floor to cross the hall
when the door slammed behind
her. Inside of the apartment
was her young son.
Efforts to open the door met
with little success and pass

the fact that Mrs. Grimm's key
was on the inside. Finally, after
explaining the situation to fire

This hand involves no particular diff
ferences between systems, but tremend-
Gus variations in the application Of them
It is typical of many hands which may
bring an almost unlimited number Of
methods of treatment, each OF which
can be justified by more or less sound
reasoning, but producing widely different
results.
Practically all players will make an
original spade bid on the South hand.
West has a choice between double or
two hearts. If he says two hearts, North
has two choices, either two no trump or
three diamonds. When the bid Is two
no trump, East passes and South ends
the contracting with three no trumps;
when North's call is three diamonds,
South takes 1t to five.
There are still more variations If West
doubles the preferred declaration m

When one suit of two-suiter Is de-
cisively better than the other it should
be bid a second time before the other
suit is shown. That principle applies
to both the North and South hands OF
this deal South should plan to bid his
spades twice, if he gets the chance. be-
fore showing his hearts. North should
plan to bid his diamonds at least twice
before showing his hearts
One spade is the correct opener for
most players, to which North would reply
with two diamonds. South would rebid
with two spades, North with three dia-
monds and South would show his hearts,
which would become the final call.
With hand like this, If South should
show his hearts ON the second round
North would display his preference for
that suit by pass, even though he had
three little hearts and two little spades
a holding with which the side would be
much better OF at spades. When the
first suit has been rebid, however, be-
fore the second is shown, North viii
not prefer the second to the first unless
he prefers 1t strongly, as in this case.
Players who use an original two bid in
auction to indicate a hand strong in
more than one declaration or rich in
high card strength would start with two
spades, practically to compel reply
from partner and make possible further
bidding. After that the bids would go
ON in the same sequence as from start
of one, except that they would all be
one level higher.

king got his first clues from the con-
tract bidding diamond by himself in

monds by North. three spades by East.
his own game bid by I'VE diamonds and
Vests justifable double. West opened
the king of spades, then switched to the
deuce of hearts, hoping to establish
trick there After winning it with the
king, king counted his sure losers. One
trick lost TO the king of diamonds
virtually certain to be IN Vests hand be-
cause of his spade bid and double would
make it necessary for him to get two
club discards, and only one could be
thrown away on North's heart ace. APP
parently contract was impossible.
That is the kind Of problem q real stu
dent likes to attack-the apparently i'm
possible. He realized that If he could
get all of the hearts and spades out OF
his hands, also all but one of his clubs,
and then throw West into the lead with
the king Of trumps, the latter might not
have a club to lead. So ne played that
way He first ruffed a spade In dummy,
discarded a club ON the heart ace, then
rufred a heart In his own hand. A sec
ond spade ruff and second heart run
stripped his two hands down to nothing
but minor suit cards. Refusing the
trum finesse, which the bidding showed
would lose, he led his ace Of trumps and
then the ace and king Of clubs, dropping
all OF the hostile ones except the queen.
where is the queen?" became now
the sole question. He had a fifty-hfty
chance now to make his contract, instead
Of hopeless one. Everything depended
on the queens location. So he led q
little trump, which West took. II it
turned out that West did not have the
missing queen, he could not lead club.
He would have to lead heart or spade:
whichever he chose, dummy would
trump it and discard the seven Of clubs
on it. Game was now sure, for, when
West led q spade, the missing queen was
located just where king wanted her to
be-in the East hand. king trumped
It In dummy, discarded the last club
from his own hand and thanked the
fates for rewarding his persistence.
