regardless OF what ID decisive battles

constitute the 10Th decisive battle OF

Inc llru OF the tide, he said, in the

New implements OF war have been

IONS appeared irresistible. The Ill
uvutlonS usually met their match.
In the recent World War, trench
warfare was developed to its highest
point. ana there was belief in well
Informed military circles that ali
future wars probably would be fought
along the lines, Mr.. Perry said.
The speaker declared warfare is Il
most intricate and important game
played by man. He SAID the Allie
apparently had committed themsel-
YES 10 Il plan and organization of de-
icuSlvc warfare, adopting the SchoOI
Of thought of Joffrc and Gamclcin
"WhCn the German army broke
through Sedan, Mr.. Perry said, land
hurled their mechanical units
through Holland and Belgium, it be-
came necessary to shift from 4 de-
fcnSivr war to an offensive war. In
this mancuNcr, Weygand was faced
with great obstacle, and if he
succeeds. the speaker said, he will
60 down in history as one Of the
great generals Of all times.
The speaker saw the surrender Of
King Leopold as blow to the Allies,
and held that Belgium called on the
Allies for help when invaded, then
threw up their hands at critical
moment. The speaker could see
little excuse or justification for the
move.
The speaker recalled Winston
ChurchillS pleas in 1924 and 1925
when ne foretold Of suicide war,
and also of General William Mitch
ellis plea Tor large air service in
the United States. Mitchcll's pleas
fell on deaf ears, only to be borne
out in the present war.
Mr.. Perry also warned Of Fifth

coddling of Communist and petting
Of radicals that infiltrate into gov

Mr.. Perry said it is fortunate that
America has distance and time as an

learn and profit by the lessons from

 Every player should know the rule of eleven.

He could see four of them-the jack-ten in dummy and his own queen-seven. He must real- ize that if he covers the ten-spot with the queen, declarer is bound to make two hearts tricks. If he holds of, South may be held to one trick in hearts.

Fine Job of Organizing

Some one did an extraordinarily fine
job of organizing support for the rubbish
collection ordinance which was discussed
before a special aldermanic committee
this week. The various community clubs
that were represented at this session and
which have been registering approval OF
the proposed ordinance for some months
past did bang-up job of throwing public
support behind the recommendation. II
only similar efforts were made for other
matters in which the public is concerned
Waterbury would be one of the most
fortunate of cities.
Not merely was there organized sup
port for the rubbish ordinance, but there
was an orderly presentation of facts and
figures, all that could be required by any
inquiring agency for subStantiation OF
need of any community in this particu-
lar field of activity. Whether or not the
city adopts the ordinance its citizens
will willingly admit that not in many
years has there been presented in such
entirely non-partiSan fashion plea for
public service On this basis alone it's
hard to see how the aldermen could with
hold approval.
And again we say that there was a
mighty fine job of organizing support
and of securing the necessary data for
the project. While many cooperated to
make this possible, we don't think there
will be a dissenting voice in the groups
that rallied behind this movement in
the comforting of signal honor on John
DZick
