In 1899 we saw most of the
conventional bidding fall by the
wayside. In 1910, however,
there was q brand new crop Of
conventional bids. The Wander
bilt Club system was revised,
the Blackwood Convention was
remodeled, and responses to
two-bids were revamped.
There was one new convention
that began to make its appear
ance toward the latter part of
the year-the no trump conven-
ton conceived by Bobby" Nc
Pherran of New York. Bobby
Is one Of the younger stars of
bridge. In 1910 he won two
national championships, the Van
derbilt Cup National Knockout
Team Of Four Championships
and the National Mems Pair
Championship.
Waldemar Won Zedwitx de-
clares that the McPherran No
Trump Is the most constructive
convention that has originated
In bridge In years. In present
ing these articles on the new
convention, however, let me

NEUTRALITY ZoNE1

In good foth, and by joint action,
the American republics established q
Security belt" around the ocean border
Of the two Americas. The thought was
to keep the European beIli9erents from
fighting their war in American voters,
thus jeopordizine inter continental
trade. This Security belt" extended
300 miles into the ocean in wider strip
than the "three-miIe limit" Of tradition
al international law.
In the face of several emergency
situations, this new American neutroIi-
ty hope has taken q bod beating. A
Germon pocket-bottIeship wos sunk in
the very mouth Of the River Plate. Sew
erol German ships interned in Mexico
ond seeking to Escape were captured by
the British in Caribbean voters. The
French liner Mendoza was seized only
five miles off the Brozilion coast. Bro
iii has now asked consultation with the
other American countries looking to-
word q joint protest oeoinst disregard
Of the American neutrality zone by the
British navy.
The United Stotes is party to the
agreement. 1t can do no less than to
back up its sister republics in whatever
steps ore ooreed upon to reinforce the
joint effort to keep the war out Of
American waters.
