I admire this correspondent's in- domitable spirit against the acht or ten to one odds, but I'm afraid that I can't back his judgment. He was wrong-dend wrong.
It was all very well to figure that his left hand opponent, who had doubled, held four trumps to the J-10, bai how could he imagine that, If that were the case, West would fail to put in the ten on the lead toward dummy, as the most elementory in- surance play? No matter what he thought of West an doubler, certainly could not have debited him with The
such unbelievable stupkilty as to play a low trump from J10 x x. Hence the only chance was to play tor n break of the suit.
To-morrow's Hand
I was not asked about the bidding, "West opened the club nine, debut think I had better volunteer a clarer won and returned the deuce few remarks, North's first response of trumps. West played the three-should have been two spades, not one, spot, and now comes the play and the final contract should have question. As West had doubled, de-been seven clubs, if any seven vid. clarer figured that the only
possible excuse for his double was that he held four trumps, including the fuck and ten. (The only high missing honour in the hand, the spade king. hardly could influence his double Inasmuch as it was under North's spade bid.)
Well, at any rate, declarer played dummy's nine of hearts and, when East won with the ten, the fight began.
"I was South, the declarer, and, although I don't claim to bave play- ed the hand perfectly, I argued to the last ditch that my reasoning and line of play were not bad bridge, but the result of a bad double on the part of an opponent. My partner and I almost came to blows, and my wife, who was looking on, and several

The spirit is willing: the flesh is weak. I menn that soldiers, like ordinary men, occasionally fall sick...

Bare Fists That
Fight
Hitler
By HAROLD A. ALBERT
Thousands of men in Europe are fighting Hitler with bare fists. They are
Britain's secret allies in the fight for freedom.
They are the Czechs who steal cssential machine parts and compel factories to stand idle, the Frenchmen who slow up Hitler's New Order with half-day strikes, the oil work- ers who blow up precious Rumanian reserves, the ex- members of the trade unions of the occupied territories who dissolved their organisa- tions rather than submit to Nazl ends...
In Holland and Norway, an the invadera marched in, local T. U. officials destroyed the lists of members, and burned the documents and books. When the Nazis launched their own controlled organisa-· tions, they refused to join or signed on only in order to wage war from within.
In France 50. trade unions actually, staged an anti-Naz), anti-Petain demonstration at Toulouse, and organised ship. yard strikes and disturbances from Dunkirk to Marseilles And, that was only the begin ning}
Since then the, reports of aabotage, alow work and oven open strikes flowing through, underground channels of in- formation to the H.Q. of the International Transport Work ora Federation havo mounted till they present a cumulativa Collect of open warfare,
When the waterworks en- gineers of Warsaw went on strike in July, it took only the Gestapo to effect a decision. When the coalminers of Liege stubbornly came out against a Nazi wage deduction of 29 per cent., threats of transfer to concentration camps in Ger- many were necessary
to get them back on the job.
Recently members of the Nazi organised German minority at Podbrezova joined
·Slovakian workers in a strike for fairer wages. Order this time was restored only by threat to close all the shops in the region, starving the atrikers' wives and children.
The storm spreads inside Germany itself. The labour authorities are facing a serious problem in factory workers on pieco rates who play truant once they have earned a sub- alstence wage,
On the railways, slow work and passive resistance have reached the pitch where goods wagons stand idle two days th five. Absences of women have increased to eight per cent, of the working time
Often these disarmed figh- ters risk Imprisonment and even death. One woman went to prison for six months for staying away from work 57. days out of 144. A Bruns- wick worker was gaoled for nine months for putting sand in machinery.

When this is over he will never want to see a human foot again: and he will think of compiling n little handbook of Imaginary Ailments, in- cluding Chancer's Arm, Ski- ver's Sciatica, Swinger's Strain, Old Soldier's Stomach, Bobber's Back.
He will doubtless give a chapter to that peculiar paralysis of the heel and ankle, which accompanied by anxiety and depression, some- times indicated that a Route March is scheduled for two- thirty.

Inevitably, casualties must occur in this war by civilians. Karl Gryzka, Polish youth started forest an 18-year-old

In Prague, Motodej Racek was sentenced to death for breaking into an armament factory under.cover of the black-out, stealing driving bells and steel casting pat terns and considerably delay- ing output.
Three other men, Josef Svoboda, Karck Chal and Jaromir Perka, were shot for stealing essential machinery parts and causing a factory to close down.

On the application of Mr Sin, Defendants were remanded for five days. Ball of $230 each was allow-

the proceedings yesterday. Thompson pointed out to his Worship that a mistake had been made in the reports of the previous hearing
the which appeared in Hongkong Telegraph
and the S. C. M. Post regarding the reason for the confiscation of the petrol,
It was wrongly stated he said, that the
confiscation of the petrol Was
necessary on the ground that the owner of the petrol had not come. forward to claim it for fear of being prosecuted. The petrol was con- fiscated on the ground that a a very offence had been committed Dagrant against Section 12 of
the Fongerous Goods
Mir Ordinance. pointed out that the clrcumstan under which the large number of junks had been found anchored in close proximity to other vessels and the fact that they all had cooking. chatties on board, constituted a very grave fre danger. There was no doubt that if a fro had broken out a serious conflagration would have resulted.
His Worship agreed with Mr Thompson that the reason for the confiscation of the petrol given in the two newspapers was very mis- leading.
