Battle Of Wits.

TODAY;s hand is of the type that
makes bridge the fascinating game
it is. A keen battle Of wits took place
between West as defender and South
as declarer. West conceived a plan
that would give him a chance to de-
feat the apparently ironclad flve-club
contract; and South. reading his evil
intentions. promptly formulated q
counter plan which nullified the first
In the bidding, too. West did his best
to silence his opponents. He hoped
his jump to game in spades would shut
them out. but when this failed, he
decided to concentrate on beating his
opponents contract rather than make
a sacrifice bid.
South, dealer.
Both sides vulnerable.

We are sure Vests plan Is per-
fectly obvious Of our readers. He
opened his singleton heart, intending
subsequently to underlead his ace of
spades. Then If his partner held the
king. he could run = heart and set
the contract.
Declarer, very much on the alert,
saw his danger. At the same time he
saw one possible way Of keeping East
out of the lead, and As he had every
thing to gain and nothing to lose, he
proceeded forthwith to put his
counter plan into operation. After
winning the first trick, he played his
king of diamonds. followed with 4
small diamond to dummy's ace, then
played . third diamond. When East's
low diamond was played. declarer
breathed a sigh Of relief. He had been
AFRAID that East would hold one Of
the high diamond honors. in which
event his plan would have failed. AZ
1t was, declarer simply threw his only
spade. West won the trick, but East
was now enectually prevented from
obtaining the lead and the contract
was home.

BEFORE the World War, Poland was
geographically divided between its
three ancient enemies - Germany.
Russia and Austria -Hungary-as 1t
had been since 1895.
At the outbreak Of the World War.
Poland found herself uncomfortably
placed between two powerful enemies,
Russia and Germany. Interested in
securing political independence, she
considered bids from both Of these
powers but turned them down to fight
her own battle.
Accordingly, under leadership Of
Josef PilsudSki. Poland went TO war
with Russia on August 6. l9l4-with
only 300 men! These 800 loyalists
were known as the celebrated "Ka-
drowka." 1t grew into brigade, then
three brigades. Eventually it became
the Polish Legion Of $4,000 men.
In 1916 Germany. attacking from
the west, captured Warsaw. then Of
fered to permit the Polish Legion to
operate as a separate army against
the Russians. Pilsudski, however. held
out for complete Polish independence
and was jailed
In 1918. with the downfall Of the
central powers. Pilsudski triumphantly
returned to Warsaw at the head Of the
legion and republic was proclaimed.
