story behind the false armistice
became public. Roy Howard. then
head Of the United Press. was in
BreSt when a message came over
the wire to Admiral H. B. Wilson,
the commander Of the American
naval forces there saying that
the armistice had been signed. How
ard, according 10 his own account,
cabled word 10 New York. The
message to the naval commander
came direct from the embassy in
Paris and therefore was taken as
official However. subsequent in
yesugaton failed to adequately eX-
plain the source of the message,
which was phoned to the embassy
by some French Official. Howard
and others surnused later that a
German secret agent might have
been responsible. Il was possible
that the embassy line was tapped
and an agent might have phoned
the false report in the hope of
ending the war unofficially in order
to halt the Allied advance and
thereby soften TO a degree the war
punishment meted out to the Fa-
therland.

In bridge which occurs rarely. Op-

occurs only when the player holds .

number Of trumps to capture this
honor in the usual way. It is neces-
sary for declarer to ruff enough cards
to reduce his trump holding to the
