A MUCH DISCUSSED HAND To-day's hand, taken from the re- cent Vanderbilt Cup tournament, created a great deal of discussion. At one table South opened with a psychic bid of one heart and subsequently played the hand at seven, down three. At the other table South passed ori- ginally and eventually became De- clarer at four hearts, making five,

However, the last word came when some one pointed out that West could beat a six-diamond "contract by the simple expedient of refusing to win his Queen of hearts. The play would go: A spade opening. Declarer (North) wins with Ace, trumps spade in dum- my, leads King of diamonds, plays a heart to the Ace in his own hand, draws trumps and now leads the ten of hearts. West shows out and East ducks, and the hand is down.

CANADIAN TROOPS SENT TO WEST INDIES

Ottawa, To-day.

Mr. Mackenzie King told the Com- mons yesterday that Canadian troops had been sent to the West Indies to relieve the British garrison there and revealed that other Canadian troops were now also stationed in Newfound- land.

He explained that the new con- scription measure would empower the Government to draft resources and wealth necessary for the prosecution of the war, thereby putting beyond question Canada's effort to the fullest limit of her resources.-Reuter,

RUMANIAN OIL (SPECIAL TO “CHINA MAIL")

QUESTION NO. 440,

David Bruce Burnstone is your part- ner, both sides are vulnerable and you

In the various discussions raging about the hand it was pointed out that six hearts was a reasonably good .contract for North and South since this con- tract could be made by means of a successful finesse in trumps or hold: for the King of clubs. It was then pointed out, however, that six diamonds was an even better contract since this Slam could be made by cashing the Ace of spades, ruffing a spade, drawing trumps and conceding a trick to the Queen of hearts, Declarer eventually making five diamonds, four hearts, two black Aces and a ruff.
