are building a new bridge. The
first big push might leave barns,
houses, bridge in ruins. II they
are. the French will build new ones
on the ruins.
l have revisited region In
which was held one of the great
battles of history, the battle of
Picardy.
An area covering about 1900
square miles was devastated In
this battle. In 10 minutes, In
this battle, the Germans fired
$4,000 shells, including gas
shells.
When the Germans withdrew vol
unfairly behind the Hindenburg
line they methodically devastated
this land. Perhaps never in his
tory was there such complete
blot of man-made devastation over
such a large single area. In this
strip of chaos, after the Germans
retreated, thousands of homes were
fond leveled to the earth. Two
hundred and sixty-four villages
were nothing but rubble. The trees
that lined the roads were cut down.
Every few miles hereabouts
there are huge cemeteries filled
with British, French and Ger
man dead.
A days trip over this region is
likely to inspire in anyone adj
miration for the courageous spirit
of the French peasants, and for
their young men who are going
into this war with no false ideas
as to what they face.
In me, at least, it inspires a
mood Of deep depression.

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

Let us look at the empire of Ku-
blai Khan as it existed in the year
1880. At that time he had power
from the China Sea to the border
OF Poland, from Siberia to Arabia.
Other Mongol princes had direct
charge of the lands in Europe and
Southwestern Asia. but they ad-
mitted that the Grand Khan" was
their ruler. Kublai's empire COW
cred something like $4,000 900 square
miles. 1t was the largest empire
which ever had been put together.
The ancient Roman Empire could
have been placed in one of its cor
ners.
Many empire builders follow this
rule. '''The more we get, the more
:. we want" 1t was so with Kublai.
Soon after making his power firm
in Southern China. he stretched out
to conquer Japan.
, A mighty fleet was sent to Japan,
q fleet which carried about 100000
fighting men. The journey was a
failure. A terrible storm struck the
sailing vessels before they reached
Japan and destroyed most of them.
We are told that no more than
10000 of Kublai's men got back
safely. to the coast of Korea, a Sec
ton Of the empire of Kublai Khan.
Several years before that event
took place, a young man from Ven
ice reached Kublai's court. He
had come with his father and uncle,

use OF paper money. In Europe he
had not observed any such custom:
the people IN Venice employed metal
money, but not paper.
Kublai Khan died in 1894. two
years after the Polos had set out on
their return trip to Europe. He was
about 7S years of age at the time of
his death.
The Mongol lords who followed
kublai were not such skillful rulers.
The Chinese formed secret societies.
and made plots to drive them from
power.
Sixty-one years after Kublia's
death, revolt broke out against the
Mongols. It was led by the son of 4
common laborer.
The revolution dragged on for
years, and at last was successful,
The workman's son was placed on
the throne. He was the first of a

to what was called the House of
Ming.
Thus the Mongol power crumbled.
With weapons of war, the Mongols
had made themselves masters of
China, but in less than a century
they were driven out Of the country.

That mysterious and Elusive thing
called card sense" is something that
cannot be learned from any textbook
Experience, close observation of the
bridge habits of other players and
Just plain common sense as applied
to bridge are the ingredients that
make up card sense. Let's see how
it was applied by South at his six
heart contract.
West opened with the jack of
spades and South saw Immediately
that his only problem was to guess
the location of the club honors, for
he could discard dummy's losing
diamond on the spade king The ace
of hearts was played, then small
heart to the jack, on which West dis
carded the club deuce. Now South
led club. West played the eight
land the king was promptly played
from dummy.
South really only had slight clue
to help him make the correct guess
The club was this: South from years
of experience has noted that defend
ing players almost invariably make
their first discard from suit where
they hold the ace, rather than one
where they hold just a stopper. Note
that West had both the spade and
diamond suits stopped, and although
a this was of small consequence in
this hand, he refused to part with
a low card from either suit. Also note
that West could well afford to let go
of club. OF course South might
have allowed the toss of a coin to
decide whether he would play the
jack or the king of clubs from
dummy, but he preferred to rely on
1,is own deductions
We admit that all this may be
somewhat far fetched, and also that
/, West might have been "double-cross-
ing" But the fact remains that
declarer did make the correct guess
and with it his slam.

Canadian Hopes Dampened
By European Situation
Special Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK. March 24.-A spirit
OF optimism which began to mani
fest itself in Canada at the OPEN
ing OF the month as a result of
what purported to be more en-
couraging news about the situation
IN Europe has been dampened by
Germany's drastic move in tear
ing up the agreement reached at
Munich and Incorporating within
the Reich the greater part of what
survived as Czecho-Slovakia, the
Bank OF Montreal states in its cur
rent business summary.
Apart from the threat of fur
ther upheavals in Europe" the
summary continues, Canadian busi-
ness would begin the spring with
Justifiable expectancies of improve
ment. One favorable and potentially
important factor is the persisting
betterment in business conditions in
the United States, accompanied by
the increase in the American de-
mand for Canadian products re-
vealed by the trade returns for the
first two months of this year.
Actually there has not been
much change in the general level
OF business during the month. Re-
tail trade has been hampered in
the country districts by rigorous
weather. but the stocks Of mer-
chants are now reported to be low
and an increased movement of
merchandise, reflected in carloading
figures for recent weeks, is an indi-
cation of better buying"

After a moderately active opening
the ticker tape began to loaf. There
was a little pickup around midday,
then the sluggish pace was resumed.
Transfers approximated 650,000
shares.
Continued firmness OF foreign
markets, apparently buoyed by
further lull in war worries, served
to maintain the modest buying urge
for domestic securities, brokers said.
Purchasing orders here from abroad
were reported by commission houses
with overseas connections.
Another beneficial influence was
thought to have been a slight re-
vival of hopes for tax revision at
this session of Congress, despite
signs from Washington lately that
this matter might be shelved.

NEW YORK, March 24.-Lewis H
Brown, president of Johns-Manville
Corp, told stockholders at the an
nual meeting today estimates of
first quarter results did not indicate
the possibility of resuming dividends

Resumption of regular payments
on the junior stock, he said, "de-
pends upon sustained recovery and
better business and that cannot be
foreseen in view of complicated
domestic and international situa-
tions at present"
Sales thus far In 1899, Brown
stated, have been about on a par

unless the unexpected happens re-
suits for the full year should register
