vivaI of Foreign Ship
ping Needed.

What is good for the Nation as a
whole fixes the bounds Of legiti-
mate individual enterprise In foreign

vOlved in foreign trade recovery and
cited the need Of a solidarity of ma

Mr. Farrell asserted that much Of the
difficulty at present arises from the
emphasis placed by individual interests
on some particular remedy or solution.
National interests must be placed above
purely private interests in attacking the
problem of recovery. he declared Con-
verSely. Mr.. Farrell pointed cut. in
diyldual advantage will best result from
community welfare and if this be true
IN a community, il is equally true of

barrels that are sold" He developed
! this thought by specifying how much
OF our surplus cotton copper. wheat,
flour, iron and steel products must be
absorbed in foreign trade to stability
domestic production.

form OF numerous questions proposed

HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS
WILL "VOTE" TUESDAY

(From the 80 Edition of Yesterdays Star,)
Plans were being completed in the
high schools today for a supervised vote
in the presidential campaign on election
day after DR.. Stephen E. Kramer, first
assistant superintendent, had notified
the schools that no "pre-election day
straw votes were to be taken.
DR.. Kramer voiced his objection to
random" straw votes to the high school
principals in letter in which he said
that such ballots make a joke of the

proper procedure and in line with prac-

GRAND SLAM BIDS
Increases of Premiums Under
Revised Rules Attracts
New Consideration.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, November 4.-Contract
players are devoting much thought to
methods of bidding grand slams because
of the increases of premiums under the
new regulations to 1900 not vulnerable
and $3.50 vulnerable.
Many outstanding players never did
bio grand slams under the former rules
because OF the danger Of losing Ger
tain rubber by being set trick. If the
contract is for a little slam there IS the
possibility of making it by throwing an
adversary into the lead.
Power house hands Warrantlng open
ing forcing bids of two or three afford
the best slam possibilities. There is
more difficulty in arriving at slam con-
tracts with opening bids OF one when
great strength is divided between the
hands Of two partners. Herewith are
contraSted the Culbertson and the Sims
methods of arriving at big slam con-
tracts after opening bids of one:
Culbertson.
One of the fundamentals Of the Gull
bertson system IS that eight to elght
and one-half honor tricks, shown by
bidding inferences to be in the posses
sion of partners, warrant a presumption
that partners can take all the tricks.
Such an honor count necessarily will
mean possession Of all aces. Posses
sion Of seven to seven and one-half
honor tricks puts two hands in the slam
zone.
An original Culbertson bid of one in
a suit shows a minimum OF 2l2 honor
tricks. An overcall of one more than
~, i,o 1nf
forcing take -out-shoWs possession OF
more than three honor tricks. An
original bidder who has a strong hand
and whose partner makes a forcing
take-out knows Of slam prospects by the
honor count.
Sims.
The one-over-one force is the corner
stone of slam bidding after opening bids
of one in the Sims system. After one
partner has opened with a bid OF one
Of a suit, a bid of one in higher
ranking suit commands the original
bidder to bid again. Should the open
ing bidder bid one spade or one no
trump. a forcing take-out is as in the
Culbertson system-that is, the re-
spending hand must bid one higher
than necessary to overcaI.
But Sims disciples are proud OF be-
ing able to exchange much information
in low stages of bidding by one-over-
one responses and aver their methods
produce speedy agreement upon the
correct make.
After that agreement, bidding of
other suits in many cases indicates pos
session of an ace.
Sample Holding.
Here is a holding with grand slam
bid under both systems, as set forth by
Ely Culbertson and Hal Sims.

Command and General Staf School and
then finally at the War College. in
Washington. After full consideration,
Mai. Gen. Bridges, with the approval
Of Secretary of War Hurley, determined
upon radical change in the selection
Of next years enrolment of officers. It
was believed the injection of younger
blood in the general staff not only
would aid the service, but also would
give the Government longer return on
its investment in the officers special
training.
Recommendations by December /.
Chiefs Of the arms and services will
submit their recommendations to fill

it is the desire of the adjutant gen.
eral that they give full weight to the

Seventy-fye officers of the Regular
Army will be detailed to begin the War
College course in September. 1888. The
apportionment of student officers from
the arms will be as follows: Infantry,
%: Cavalry Z; Field Artillery, 10: Coast
Artillery, T. Air Corps, 7; Engineer
Corps, 3, and the Signal Corps, 2.
From the services, they will be appor-
toned so as to provide l from the ad-
jutant generals department. from
the Quartermaster Corps, each from
the Medical Corps and ordnance de-
partment and l from the Chemical
Warfare Service.
At least 80 per cent of the quota
from each arm will consist of officers
who, upon graduation from the War
College, will be available for duty to
the War Department general staff. In
the Interpretation of this provision. an
officer will be considered as meeting
its requirements, provided that he has
been on duty in the District of Colum-
bia for more than six months of the
three years Immediately preceding his
entrance to the War College and
further, if detailed at the War College
and kept in a command duty status
after graduation, ne will have COM
pleted the necessary command duty by
September l, 1894, to qualify him
