2 made an opening bid of
l Spade with the probabilities Of
fulfilling so modest a contract.
Y did not quite know whether
to bid or not. Finally Y bid
2 Diamonds, which was per-
fectly legitimate. OF course z
had to bid 2 Hearts. Y then
should have shown his second
suit, by bidding 3 Clubs. Even
if z bid No Trumps, instead Of
shifting to Diamonds, Y should
have rebid, making z choose
between the minor suits. In
stead of doing this, Y passed.
z went down two tricks.
Case of Surmising
How the hand actually would
have gone at diamonds we
can only surmise. Suppose
that play had gone in some
such logical manner as this.
knowing that there will be
cross-ruffing, B must make
trump lead. If you wish, let
him first take-in his Ace Of
spades, to save it, as some
players would do. Then have
B lead his 10 of diamonds. 1t
will do no harm to put up
Dummy's j. The Ace will win,
and another trump must be
led back, to try hampering the
declarer as much as possible,
If play goes this way, Y must
try to establish his spades in
dummy, to avoid losing a club
trick. If the opening lead and
second lead happen to be dia-
monds, the lone spade can at
once be discarded upon one Of
dummy's hearts, so that the de-
clarer will not attempt to es-
tabliSh spades, he will try to
establish his own clubs, with
the loss of a single trick in
that du suit. .
With an opening lead of the
Ace of spades, then two
rounds of trumpS, Y need lose
no more tricks. The fourth
trick will be won with the K
OF spades. Y will obtain one
club discard at once.
The fifth trick must consist
of a lead of dummy's j of
spades. Y knows that A holds
the missing Q. B would be
crazy to open up that suit from
the A, @. Unless A puts up
the @. Y will discard a club.
If A covers with the O, Y will
trump. He will then pull the
last trump from both dummy
and from A. A heart lead will
give him two tricks in that suit.
Upon the second lead of hearts,
the second club will be dis
carded upon the 10 and 9 of
spades. Y's fifth and last club
will fall when dummy's ace Of
that suit is led. This will leave
the declarer with nothing ex-
cept winning diamonds, giving
him five-odd at diamonds, in
stead of going down two tricks
at hearts.
Is Not True
Somebody may think that an
opening lead of diamonds, fol.
lowed by a second trump lead
Will defeat game contract at
diamonds, but this is not true.
Dummy will win the second
trick. Two rounds of hearts will
take care of Us lone heart and
enable him to discard his only
spade. Then he will lead the
Ace of Clubs. Y will trump a
Spade, and dummy will trump
the declarer's last low Club. The
declarer will trump a spade,
then pull the last opposing Dia.

played, Y will have won eight.
He will have left only the Oh
10 of Clubs and one diamond.
He has only one losing club,
and he has the only remaining
trump. He cannot fail to make
five-odd.
1t was cruel to let z play a
losing heart contract when Y
had a game at diamonds, pro-
v1ded he obliged his partner to
show that z could stand dia-

 He is Louis McHcnry Howe. fl middle-aged former newspaper man. Small, wrinkled. retiring, he has remarkable mental energy and insight into political problems. Until recently he might well be de- seribed as the "mnn nobody knows" but the public is beginning to hear of him and appreciate him now.

FOUR EUROPEAN
 NATIONS UNABLE

Germany, Esthonia, Lat. via, and Poland Forego September Installments Due to Conditions
BY JOSEPH IT. BAIRD

Washington, Sept 23. UP)--- Germany has joined three other European nations forced by the world depression 10 postpone pay ment of current debt insthllments 10 the United Bthtes, and IL Is doubtful if the remaining coun- tries cDn pay their bills this winter. Secretary of Treasury Mills hD- nounced yesterday that he had agreed tO let Germany wait until 1894 to pay 17.s10.0D0 due to~mor- row on account of war clhims and cost of the American army of Oc- cuphti0n.
 Mills waived the requirement in the German American debt settle" mGnt Of lD30 that Germany must give 90 days notice of intention 10 postpone payments. He explained that he had promised Ambhssh dor yon prittwitz last June go that 1T Germany ali dnot then file il claim for pOstponement. but waited 10 sec whether il couid pay. he would not invoke the 90 day notice clause.
 Three other EsthOnia, Iatvih and POlhnd--notified the treasury before September ib that they could not pay $D6.066, $37.- 900. and tl.12b.G06 respectively. when these payments fall due December IG.
 Thus, including Inc German pay ments, arrangements have been made by four nations 10 postpone sD ,0b2,0 900 out of total debt insthli- ments Of approximately sl3l .DO0.- 900 falling due in December.
 Oiiicihl interest is centGrinE on whether the major debts.

None gave notice of post poHemenL before September I6. Yet they, like Germany, could ask Mills 10 waive the 31-dhy notice requirement If, bs now seems like ly, no permanent read Jnstment of debts is made by congress before December Ib.
 Officials think IL unlikely that Britain owing about Sa6.060 900 will ask 10 postpone payment. The policy Of France. owing sz6, ,G0D.- 900 in December is uncertain. Paris, officials believe. can pay.

 The edueatof's attack came in an address delivered during open ing exercises at Columbia pniver- sity yesterday.

But almost everywhere it sees the men fespoh' sibie for the formulation and con duet of public policy displaying either total lack of understanding. of what this Is All about, or total lack of capacity to state or to solve the problems of the moment or both.
 "Tbe policies which can lead to quick and sure relief are pre-. ciseIy the ones our parties and their candidates refuse to discuss for fear they will alienats some In" portaDt part in the electorate. The situation would bs ludicrOus were it not so tragic.
