The Bidding,
333
At contract many players hold- ing five quick tricks would onen the South hand with a forcing two bid, but when the hand contains more than three losing cards, the forcing two bid should not by ap- plied. On this type of hand, the writer advocates the opentag 'hid of one heart, West would overcal with two diamonds, North bid two spades, East pass and South would bid four apades which would buy the contract.
The Play.
Enst had the opening lead and led the ten of diamonds, the top of his partner's suit. Dummy played the four and West won the triek with the nee; To return a diamond would be granting the de- clarer an extra trick so West shift- cd to trump, leading the deuce of spadea which the declarer allow ed to ride to dummy's ten. The ace of spades was then led from dum- my, followed by the jack of spades, declarer overtaking in his own hand with the king.
In order to get a reading on the East hand, the declarer now led the king of diamonds, East follows with the seven. Declarer now led his last trump and East was forc ed to discard a heart as he must protect his four clubs to the jack. The declarer discarded the jack of diamonds from dummy and Weat discarded the Ove of diamonds. The ace and king of clubs were then played from dummy, West followed with the four, and seven, declarer the three and eight and East the deuce and six,”
As Eust refused to discard a club on the good spade, he was practically marked with four clubs. and four hearts. The declarer saw an opportunity to make an end play that might produce an extra trick for him, so he led the ace of hearts from dummy, West follow- ed with the seven, declarer the four and East the six. Now the king of hearty was let from.dum- my. West played the ten, declarer the deuce and I East played the elght of hearts, the declarer could now lend the small heart from dummy which East will be forced to win with the queen and must then lend from his jack-nine of clubs into the declarer's, queen- ten. But East, seeing the play that was about to be pulled off by the declarer, threw his queen of hearts on the dummy's king, there- by providing an entry for his part.
ner.
leads a If the declarer now heart from dummy, West will win with the jack and cash hir two good diamonds. To make his con tract, the declarer must lend the five of cluba from dummy, West dropping.the nine of diamonds and declarer winning the trick with the queen of cluba. He will now return the ten of clubs which East will win with the jack, West will discard his queen of diamonds and when East leads the eight of hearts. West will win it with the jack,
This play of throwing the queen onto the declarer's king is an un blocking play known as the De achapelle coup.

CANTON PROTESTS
ARREST OF SURVEYOR BY MACAO AUTHORITIES
Canton, Nov. 16. The National Government has been urged to take immediate steps to settle the Wang Chien vil- Inge incident In which an official surveyor of the Chungshan dis- trict Government was alleged to have been detained by the Portu- guese authorities in Macao, A telegram was sent to Nanking by the South-West Provinces People's Foreign Affairs Association' with the request and made public-ta- day.
The Chungshan district Gov- ernment sent a surveyor to ascer- tain the boundary limits of Wang Chion village and places border- ing on Macao in view of frequent reported attempts by the Portu- guese Government to occupy that village. The surveyor was arrest- ed by the authorities in Macao and placed aboard Portuguese gun- boat to be tried by court martial. At the same time, Mr. Tang Shao- yi, Magistrate of Chungshan, was asked to be present at the court martial but he refused to accede. The surveyor was eventually re lensed.
In an indignant vein, the tele- gram says that "Wang Chien vil- lage is within the boundary of the Chungahan district. Since it is Chinese territory, no foreign coun- try should be allowed to occupy it, The Macao Government committed a gross outrage by arresting the. surveyor, and if no effort is made to check this encroachment, future dangers are beyond contempla- tion."
the
The Foreign Affairs Associa- tion strongly implored the Na- tional Government through Ministry of Foreign Affairs to up- hold Chinese torritorial integrity by settling the incident as soon as possible. Other public bodies here strongly resent the action of the Macao Government and likewise asking the Nanking Gov- crnment to take positive action re- garding the matter.-Central Press.
