UNCLE RAYS CORNER
f you we're captured in war and

If you were captured in war and
were told to lead the enemy to a
secret place, what would you do?
That was problem which faced
q young Frenchman, Corpl LaroiX,
last spring. He was captured by
the Germans and was ordered to
lead them to the outpost to which
he belonged
Fearing death if he did not obey
the order, the Frenchman led the
enemy soldiers toward the outpost
There we're not many Germans, but
they hoped to take the French by
surprise and thus capture the out
post
All seemed to be going we'll until
the party came within shouting
distance of the French. At that
moment LaroiX called ont warn
ing to his friends.
A volley met the Nazi troopers
Their leader was slain and his men
were captured. Laroix himself was
wounded, but not mortally. He was
given hospital care and was hailed
as a hero.
Another war story came from
Albania during the pest holiday
season. At Christmas time, we are
told, large number of taxicabs
reached Greek camp, Each of
the cabs was loaded down with
presents for the soldiers
One driver began to think of the
italian soldiers not far distant and
worried lest they should be having

of several things. One is the feeling
which the Italian people probably
have about the present war. When
I was travelling in Italy before the
war started the people did not seem
warmly in favor of Nazi Germany.
There are reasons to believe that
the Italians would rather have
joined the French and the British
than to have taken Hitler's side.
AS it turned out, they had no
choice. They were told by Musso-
ini to work and wait for orders.
When the orders came to join Hitler,
they obeyed, but it does not seem
they liked the idea.
Another thought is about the kind
ness of the human heart. That
Greek taxicab driver had a wish to
be kind at Christmas time-even to
"the enemy" If there were no die
tators, and if the plain people could
have their way, this would be a
world of peace and good will.

was a good thing for him that he
had done some thinking about the
opening lead, for any other open

to make the contract. South won

South cashed the heart king. dis

now there was no way to return

would win the first diamond trick.
East was alive to the danger, how
ever, so played low diamond in

trump to be used for ruffing.
South had already lost a heart
and a diamond and held three losing
cards in hearts and clubs-with
only one trump in dummy to take
care of them. Two of those cards
therefore had to be lost, and with
them the contract. Had West
failed to lead a trump at every
opportunity, dummy would have
been able to ruff twice, giving
South his contract.
