American Bridge League Secretary
PRACTICALLY all contract
Il bridge systems have become
standardized.
Bridge players have taken the
best features from each of the
systems, so that today any writer
on contract who offers a new plan
of bidding actually makes these
accepted features the foundation
of his new system They are
the principles adopted by the ex-
pert players.
l have just completed careful
study of one of these new
systems. published recently in the
form of a self Teacher 1t is
The Culbertson System Self
Teacher" prepared by the late
Louis H. Watson and I. H. Bloom.
Bloom has the ability to write
about bridge so that it can be un-
derstood clearly by even the be-
ginner in contract.
Watson ranked as one of Amer
ica's outstanding bridge players
and writer's. He had a phenome-
nal tournament record in 1885,
having won three major tourna-
ments, finished second in three
and ranked third in three others.
He wrote several books on
bridge. His first great success,
and still a popular seller was
Watson. on the Play of the
Hand"
His latest book presents con-
tract bidding in such simple ami
understandable terms that I am
pleased to present series of IL
articles from this book.
The first lesson deals with the
opening bid of one in a suit.
Before I go into this matter,
want to point out that too many
players have become book players
They learn to make bids simply be-
cause the hand contains a certain
number of high cards.
While it is true that, from the
standpoint of rules and regulations
an opening bid of one in a suit
should be made with a hand con-
tsins a potential rebid. for this gives
a player IN important advantage
for an opening attack
Before making an opening bid. you
must be prepared for any response
which your partner may make. This

The brook running through the |
grounds is artificial, but you don't
think of that. The stream winds
through the grounds. The craggy
stones edging pool at the source
of the brook give the impression a

bank on one side is elevated and

figure when he was studying in

The AdamSes can see the figure

LONDON, February 8.-The London
newspapers played up war scare talk
today as the British government. with
wartime secrecy, proceeded with its
program to eliminate gaps" in its
army, navy and air forces. The greater
part of the rearmament program will
be completed by 1889, according to the
diplomatic correspondent of the Daily
Telegraph, at a total cost of more than
$500 ,O00, 900 ($1 SOC, ,000, ,000).
The plans, which have been ham
mered out in almost daily meetings of
the cabinets Defense Committee in
recent weeks, will be given to Parlia-
ment early In March, together with a
frank statement of recent military
developments in the rest of the world,
which force Great Britain to take
action. The government will reveal
to Commons all the information in its
possession concerning the rapid arm
ing of Germany and Japan, it is said,
in order to defend its own expensive
scheme.
In this revival of martial alarms,
Italy.is sidetracked temporarily and
attention Is again concentrated on
Germany and its vast rearmament
and supposed plans for another Eu-
ropean war. The possibility of Ger
many invading The Netherlands as
well as Belgium this time to attack
France and reach the English Channel
ports is stressed In. conservative and
sensational press alike.
Holland Invasion Possible.
It Is reasoned that because Of the
chain of steel and concrete forts along
the Eastern frontier of France and
Belgium, extending to Liege, the Ger
mans may start an invasion further
north, by way of Holland. In this
connection 1t is asserted that Ger
many's high command believes that
its decision to respect Dutch territory
in 1914 resulted in delays which lost
her the battle of the Marne.
The Evening Standard reports that
Germany has Is official aviation CEN
ters and "a sporting aviation fields
within 40 miles Of the Dutch frontier,
that great numbers of men from Ger
man labor camps have been settled
near the frontier, and that several
roads have been built from Bremen
toward the Dutch border.
The invasion of France by way of
Holland and Belgium Is one of three
war plans drawn up in Germany, ac-
cording to the Evening Standard.
Another plan, known as "Gcering's
plan," because 1t Is the pet scheme Of
the Reich air minister, provides for
attack eastward against the Ukraine,
while q third plan calls for the ex.
pansion of Germany through C2echo-
slovakia and Austria.
Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden Is
represented by the correspondent Of
the Daily Telegraph as being PRO
foundly impressed by the grave deter
ioration in the international solution"
shown in reports made to him since he
assumed ofice. Notice Is taken Of the
persistent belief In Paris and Moscow
that Germany has reached mutual
assistance agreement with Hungary.
and of the possibility that Italy, in
dificulty with her costly African ad-
venture, may seek an understanding
with the Reich.

ROOSEVELT TALKS
TOPOL|CE SESSION
Tells New York Association
Law Enforcement Is Too
Often Taken for Granted.
By the Associated Press.


The Patrolman's Benevolent Asso-
ciation of New York City heard from
President Roosevelt last night that
"law enforcement is all too often taken
for granted"
In a telephoned address to the as
sociation meeting in Madison Square
Garden, Mr.. Roosevelt said that "un-
less there is security of person, as well
as protection Of material possessions,
all of our efforts for social and eco
nomic betterment rest upon a founda-
ton of sand"
The Presidents telephoned message
follows in part:
Il am sitting at my desk, close to
an open fire, as thousands Of others
Ere doubtless doing tonight in their
homes all over the United States. Most
of us take our ease in our homes with
out giving much thought to the peace
and the protection that surround us.
We think too little of the activities of
the members of the great police or
ganizations which afford us this peace
and protection.
"All the complexities Of transporta-
tion, Of business, Of trade, OF COM
merce, of education, of entertainment
and of the mere moving of great
masses of individuals from place to
place at high speed during stated
hours of the morning and evening
make the task of the New York City
police officer of vital importance"

With Nationalist temperatures ris-
ing in various parts Of Europe, great
curiosity exists here as to the real
nature of the diplomatic talks recently
ended in Paris. The foreign Office
today appeased this curiosity q little
by releasing paraphrase Of infor-
nation along this line obtained by Sir
George Clerk, British Ambassador
in Paris, in an interview with
French Foreign Minister Pierre -Eti-
enne Flandin.
It was said that one important re-
suit Of the Paris talks. was improve
ment in the relations of Soviet Russia
and Rumania. While Clerk could give
no confirmation of reports of Soviet
Rumanian pact, the situation between
the two countries was declared suf-
ficiently improved to make eventual
settlement likely.
