TODAY'S BIRTHDAYS

200 Years Ago Richard
Montgomery was born near Feltrim,
Ireland, son of member of British
Parliament He first came to Anne
RIGA as an officer in the British army,
and it was that same army which he
gave one Of its most hum;liating de-
feats during the American Revolu-
ton.
One of the first to volunteer, and
one of the first to be made briga-
dier-general in the Continental Army,
the 39-year-old Irishman who had few
equals among contemporary strate-
gists and tacticiansa in any country,
was in command of the pitiful army
of 300 sent to invade Canada in ITS.
Not withstanding the mutinous con-
duct of many of his soldiers, the
shortage Of munitions and an epide-
mic of smallpox in the ranks, he
waged a brilliant campaign which
brought about the capture of the first
British colors taken in the war, the
reduction of the fortresses of st.
Johns, and finally the capture of
Montreal.
Montgomery then wrote Congress,
Till Quebec is taken, Canada is I'M
conquered" He died the same
month trying to take Quebec. Cry
ing. Men of New York, you will not
fear to follow where your general
leads" he dashed ahead of them to
the British ramparts, where he fell,
one of the three men MORALLY hit in
the first and only discharge of Brit
ish artillery.
The enemy joined in lamenting his
death. In British Parliament Ed
mund Burke contrasted the condition
of the 5000 British soldiers, starved,
disgraced. and shut up within the
single town of Boston, with the move
ments of the hero who, with 300 men.
il one campaign, conquered two
thirds of Canada
Dec 2 1S23-A phrase in custom
airy Presidential message to Congress
became an international law!
I'VE should consider any attempt
on their (the European powers) part
to extend their (politicaD system to
any portion of this hemisphere as
dangerous to our peace and safety.''
Thus spoke James Monroe, 81, the
9TH President, and what he said be-
came tht Monroe Doctrine. His
words were inspired by the interest
displayed by the sovereigns of the
Holy Alliance, in the revolt of Cen
trail and South American countries
against Spanish Rule.

New York, Dec. 2-Having seen

Coward fan.
But honesty demands that 1 testi-
fly now that several of the Coward
one-acters so far witnessed have
brought me laughter, the sting of
savage wit and rich, unsugary ro.
nance. Maybe the thing that outrag-
ed me in the very idea of Noel Cow

been the type of person most vulner-
able to the young English authorize

who admire him for the wrong rea-
.sons and would troop away from the
Coward Cult as rapidly as they rush
ed INTO join, once the word got out
that Coward was no longer smart.
But this reporter nonetheless numbly
hands in herewith his application for
membership in the cluD and trusts
that Lucius Beebe won't blackball
him.
For Noel Coward is a professional
entertainer of the very first grade.
He is almost the only professional en-

upiifters and purple poets. carnivo-
rous pacificts and x-playwrights in
the distressing throes of hitting the
saWdust trail for a Cause-but almost
no professional entertainers. You'd
think there'd be a place for them in
the metropolitan theatre too. now
wouldn't you?
Perhaps the art of Noel Coward
stands out because this is the thin

theatre. Still, l think that such of his

mellow and musical excursion into
the dreamy lands of lost lbve and ex-
tlngulshed happiness; and "Fumed
oak, bitterly hilarious act in which
a repressed floorwalker turns upon
his oppressive wife and mother-in-
law and demolishes them; and ''The
Astonished Heart which tells of a

i think these would etch themsel-

one in which the dominant idea was
entertainment.
Again, it may be (you see, I am
trying to rationalize my conversion
in every possible way) that the first
fine shock of joy over the work of
Mr., Coward came with the realization
that here was playwright who was

Bidding went: South, 1-Heart;
West. diamonds; North, 3-Clubs;
South, 3-Spades; North, 4-Hearts,
West, double.
The opening lead was the K OF
clubs. Dummy's Ace won. De-
clarer let go his low diamond
Three rounds of winning trumps
were taken. West was given a
spade. Declarer ruffe9p a club.
West was given another spade.
Declarer ruffed another club. West
was given his third and last spade.
Declarer then held the Ace of dia.
monds, the lone Q of hearts and
two long spades. Nothing which
West could lead could prevent de-
clarer from winning the balance of
tricks
Of course the opening lead of
clubs afforded declarer an or.
tunity to discard his lowest dia-
mond, making things easy for
him, as he could not directly enter
dummy by any play of his own.
Suppose West makes an opening
lead of a spade. When he sees
dummy he must stop further leads
of that suit, or dummy will ruff
the third spade led, thus affording
declarer an opportunity to use the
Ace of clubs to obtain his diamond
discard. IF West leads a spade his
next lead must be trump, to pre-
vent dummy from ruffing spades
It seems at first sight as if
Vests best opening lead is a
trump. Try it. Win with de-
clarer's Q. Lead back spade.
Have West lead his last trump.
Win that for South. Give West his
second and third spade tricks.
West now is exhausted of spades,
either winning or losing ones. He
has no more trumps. He must
now lead either a diamond or a
club. Declarer holds major
tenace in diamonds, the T. e in his
own hand and the @ in dummy.
If a low diamond is led, dummy's
Q will win, then declarer's Ace will
win the next diamond trick, giving
South his contract. If the K of
diamonds is led, declarer's Ace will
win, then dummy's @ will win the
second diamond trick, giving South
his contract. If West leads a club,
when in with his last spade trick,
dumny's Ace will win the trick,
and South will obtain a diamond
discard, thus giving him game.
If the opening lead is a diamond,
declarer must win two diamond
tricks. ALI West can win will be
his three spade tricks. No OPEN
ing lead can defeat the contract.
