Partner had guaranteed with his force to keep

other table West considered his hand so strong,
opposite a forcing bid that he wanted his part

he conveyed by violating the usual forcing
principle of bidding m nimums after a force.
SO he called three no trump.
At the table where West bid only two no
trump his partner went to three hearts, West
to four East to five, and there it ended Where
West bid three no trump, East called four clubs.
West four no trump. East five hearts and West
six hearts. Since six-odd were made at both
tables, the hand was won by the side that bid
that many.
Proper use of the semi-forcing system also
would reach the slam with an interchange OF
two clubs, three diamonds, four no trumps,
five hearts and six hearts Straightway bidders

In auction, the only bid would be spade
by South. In contract either one spade by
South. two by North and four by South, or
two spades by South and four by North.
West would naturally lead his king of hearts,
followed by queen and then ace, next his 10

case declarer, who cannot afford TO lose any
more tricks, would refuse the fineSSe since the
king is most likely with East. He would be
sure to play his ace il he counted up his hand

long live the king" for auction is still
very much alive in plenty of circles.
II "Alive and kicking" would appear bet
ter to those who have listened to the
greatest of all defenders of the old game against
the inroads of the upstart, contract. He is
Carl T. Robertson of Cleveland who has held
many national championships and is now on
the American Bridge Leagues auction team
of four title holders, and whose little wife also
holds and has possessed several national titles.
st am probably the sole remaining ichthyo-
Saurus," he says, ''who believes that auction is
greatly superior in every phase and under
every consideration that comparison is
sacriege There are others who lean toward
auction rather than contract, but fancy
Sm the only quaint goof who actually froths at
the mouth when any one softly suggests that
contract may have some merit"
AS brilliant in his facetiousneSS as at the
card table, he also knows how to be helpful,
for besides saying, IT am glad that you have
not relegated auction to the ash cam, he
furnishes a argument to use on ttose
earnest correspondents who call the E. lge
Forum Anticipated because it carries auction
problems and is not entirely contract. "At the
time of the league congress-" he says Phillip
Hell Sims, Comdr. Winfield Liggett jr.; Sir
Derrick Wernher and Baron Waldemar
zedtwitz all declared their strong preference for
auction as a duplicate game. This from New
York, the Gomorrah Of contract proselytism,
YVES good music to my ears"
All four of those players are among the fore
most opponents Of both games. The opinion
of Won Zedtwitz is particularly timely since
at the present he holds more national bridge
championships than any other piayer-fve. No
other player has than three. He is a
member of the combinations possessing the
Vanderbilt cup for contract teams of four. the
national contract challenge championship for
teams of four, the masters pair contract trophy,
rational contract pair supremacy of the Amer
lean Whist League and the mixed auction pair
championship Of the American Bridge League
In addition, he was on the team which went to
London last Fail and defeated several strong
British combinations.
1t may be that contract Is better and more
thrilling game than auction. but when players
like these see SO much good in the older game,
md when there are still more players of it than
of the new in the world at large, it can hardly
be read out CT he scheme Of things

for granted Even this would not assure game
for five spade tricks, one diamond and three
clubs make only nine. A diamond must be
lost unless the four of clubs can be set up. At
first glance this Is impossible, because the
opponents hold seven clubs and one surely has

Three hearts already being played, also

would make total Of nine in succession, which
would leave four cards in each hand It would
thus be impossible for East to hold on to four
clubs and also hold the king of diamonds One
of them must be discarded on the last trump

zOG CALLS L DUCE
GREATEST FRIEND
Albanian King Praises Die
tator After Getting Loan
From Italy.

ROME, october Things are great
ly changed in Albania since the Sultan
Abdul Hanid kept last detachment Of
eunuchS at Durazzo and administered
all the tribes in the mountains and on
the shores around Scutari by single
hey, who saw that he enriched himself
and the Sultan. The tribes Of Albania
have become a nation and have a King
Of their own without the help OF the
European powers or the court or Prince
WED.
King Zog is the man who is doing 1t
all, with the help of Mussolini, and this
Is why he writes to him as My dear
and greatest friend"
Albania has become q kingdom chief
ly by the will of Mussolini. It has also
become an ally of Italy on the other
side of the Adriatic, and the alliance,
II occasion should offer, would not be
an idle thing. King Fog can gather an
army Of $4,000 or 100, 900 men, and all
he wants Is rifles and ammunition.
These he can have from Italy; in fact,
ne has them already. The friendship,
therefore, is not without significance.
ZOg's Gratitude for Loan.
some time ago King Zog found that
his country was going through a crisis,
Just like the big countries of the world.
His treasury was empty and he needed
q loan. for which ne applied to his dear
and greatest friend In Italy. and MuSso-
lini said he should have the loan. 1t
was granted in less than o week and the
Golfers Of King Zog are once more full.
Hence he sent his grateful acknowl-
edgment In the following words:
To His Excellence, Head Of the italian
Government:
my Dear and Greatest Friend-The
magnificent act of the Fascist govern
ment in granting financial aid TO AL
bania. without which 1t was impossible
to realize its ideal of progress. OF labor.

unite our two friendly and allied coun-
tries"
MussoIinrs Reply
II the first sign that a nation is
progressing is that it is able to borrow
money, then Albania has proved that 1t
Is progressing. OF course, Italy does
not make loans for mere pleasure. Much
Of 1t will come back in the shape of
salaries to italian engineers who are
building roads and creating industries
in Albania, and q part of the loan will
be used also In making purchases Of
material in Italy.
Mussolini therefore with justice re-
piled:
Your high message directed TO me is
grateful evidence Of the spirit in which
the act Of the Fascist government was
received, and 1t finds a pleasant and
grateful response in me and in the Ital-
ian people. 1t seals the harmony of
sentiments and interests by which the
two nations on each side of the Adriatic
are strongly bound together by solemn
treaties, AMI 1t is with great pleasure
that we note the progress OF the Ala
bantam nation, our neighbor and ally"
The protectorate of Italy which
Giolitti renounced in 1910 seems to have
come back and to be stronger by the
treaty of alliance solidly established hy

himself is the most ticklish problem In
volved in his proposed visit to Berlin.
Gree on German soil the problem be-
comes domestic one for the Bruening
government, he being to millions Of
National-Socialists the embodiment of
militant fascism.
Adolf Hitler and his followers. who
adopted brown shirts as uniforms In
imitation Of Mussolini'S black shirted
legionS, and who have been agitating
for years for a dictatorship of the Mus
Solini type, would consider the appear
ance of II Duce in Berlin as veritable
incarnation Of their slogan Germany
aWake!"
When the Bruening government in
vited Italy's dictator to return the visit
which the German chancellor and julius
Curtius, foreign minister, made to Rome,
the Hitherto press pointed out the ''ridic-
ulouSneSS" of government trying to
sti1e the German Fascist movement
with one hand and extending the other
in friendship to the worlds chief eX
ponent Of FaScism.
Reds Also In Picture.
Not that Hitler's men would try to
spoil Mussolinis visit: the danger is
rather that they might welcome him
too enthusiastically.
Both Mussolini and Bruening might
fell embarrassed If they were met by
crowds Of "nazis" shouting Down with
Bruening! Long live Mussolini!"
Equally serious, moreover, might be
the reaction of Germany's Communists
to such enthuSiasms. To the Commu-
nists, too, the Italian statesman is the
symbol of FasciSm. but as such he Is
hated by many who might othe. wise be
willing TO cheer Justify for Italy.
The Communists would object to
MuSsolini and, even more violently, to
the "naZi' enthusiasm for him.
Mussolini might be willing to take
any personal risks Che has been shot at
in italy,, but probably he will delay
his arrival until the politico-e
situation in Germany has cooled down
so that his visit would not embarrasS
his official hosts.
French Returning Call.
In any event. there are between Italy
and Germany no great difficulties to be
smoothed out. The visit, therefore,
when and II 1t comes would constitute
a gesture Of friendship between two
governments which already are on cor
dial terms.
In this respect it would differ ma
terially from the forthcoming visit OF
Aristide BRAND and Premier Laval of
France. That. too, is return call, but
when Bruening and Curtius went to
Paris the air was full of such subjects
as vest-pocket battleships, the Austro-
german customs union and the ever
lowering ghost Of war reparationS re-
vision
Signs of relief arose on both sides Of
the Rhine as the German statesmen
went on to London without attempting
much more than a friendly shake Of
the hard. There will be equal relief
If the Laval-Briand pilgrimage turns
out as happily.
