Rangoon, Burma, Feb.18.\u2014(fP)\u2014 Chinese troops have crossed the mountainous Thailand frontier in the North from Burma, it was reported here today, but on the Southern front heavy fighting raged with the gravity of the situation hourly becoming manifest.The Japanese, following hand-to-Hand combat with Indian troops, forced a night crossing of the .shallow Bilin River, a communique said toc.'Vy, and the British front wasjwi01\u2019e interfered with.The Canadian Press) \u201czero hour\u201d near in thei battle for Java, Lieut.-Gov.Huber-1 tus Van Mook of the Netherlands!

hourly grew more excited at the approach of the trial at Riom, twenty miles from here, which one newspaper said \u201cmay be one of the most important in our \u2014story.\u201d In a broadcast October 16, Marshal Petain placed the blame for France\u2019s defeat on six men, five of whom have spent more than a year in prison.Accusations submitted to the Chiefs of Staff at that time by a specially-chosen Council of Political Justice named these men: Former Premier Edouard Daladier, who until France was beaten was hailed by his country as its strong man; Former Premier Leon Blum, So-i suiting the Supreme War Council on questions relating to preparation for war; Blum was accused of knowing of the deficiencies of national defence and of \u201cneglecting to give to ' armament factories the impetus which the situation urgently com-: manded.\u201d Jacomet was charged with hiding I as late as December, 1932, the fact Daladier, Gamelin, Blum and La Chambre are in Bourassol Chateau, near Riom, after two months at Portalet fortress near Pau.Jaco-met also was confined to Bourassol Chateau.Still held in Portalet are Paul Rey-naud, the last Premier of the Republic, and Georges Mandcl, his Minister of Interior.Petain in his broadcast said there were \u201cgrave presumptions\u201d against Reynaud and Mandel but said nothing of a trial for them.It was arranged that the five to be tried would be taken today to Riom prison, which is connected with the courtroom by an underground tunnel.Daladier was charged with not con FRANK PACKARD, NOTED AUTHOR CLOSES CAREER Mr.Weir also suggested wider age groups could be called and that, the powers in the act could be applied in other directions.\u201cIf necessary,\u201d he said, \u201cwe could call up men and train them for four or six months, giving them a thorough training and then, perhaps, letting them return to civilian life.This could be done again and again, making certain that we have a large number of men in this country thoroughly trained at least for home defence.\u201d Mr.Weir, who represents a Manitoba constituency, expressed belief better use could be made of conscientious objectors than employing them in national parks on work which was not urgent.He suggested they could be used on sugar beet farms under an arrangement with the growers, ana perhaps, in bush work.Many men who were not accustomed to manual labor were out of work and could be placed where they could make a contribution.Mr.Corman declared himself in favor of conscription for overseas service and served notice he would advocate that measure if the Government, through the proposed manpower plebiscite, obtains release from its earlier anti-conscription pledges.The plebiscite was necessary, he said, as conscription had to be obtained with the \u201cwill of the people\u201d and not be \u201cinstituted by a small group of Fascist-minded\u201d persons.No immediate necessity for conscription for overseas service was seen by Mr.Weir but he supported Montreal Author Haunted New'SveJnmonT wm!i«T1seïuii0a\u2019dfrîe York Police Stations to Obtain Basis for Series of Crime Stories.Montreal, Feb.18.\u2014 (B\u2014\u201cHow to break into print has only one answer and that is work,\u201d was the philosophy of Frank Lucius Packard, who for several generations thrilled Canadian and American youth with his stories of Jimime Dale.Mr.Packard died last night at his home in suburban Lachine after a brief illness.He was 65, Frank Packard was not an imaginative writer, in fact most of his data w\u2019hs obtained right on the scene.He haunted New York police stations, accompanied detectives on their invastigations and thus weaved the web that resulted iq the Jimmie Dale series.Jimime Dale first caught the public eye in 1917 when \u201cThe Adventures of Jimmie Dale\u201d was published.Two years later, Mr.Packard wrote \u201cThe Further Adventures of Jimmie Dale,\u201d as interest in the young detective increased.In 1922, \u201cJimmie Dale and the Phantom Clue\u201d was added to the list.\u201cThe Red Ledger,\u201d in 1926 provided a new' twist of detective adventures, and although minus the color provided by Jimmie Dale, nev-ertheless attained considerable popularity.This book provided the background for a radio series presented over the.network of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, in which Mr.Packard himself introduced the play.The author usually concluded each broadcast with a brief message expounding the futility of crime.Mr.Packard was the author of a long list of books as well as the Jimmie Dale adventures.Mr.Packard va- a graduate of McGill University and took a postgraduate course at 1\u2019Institute Monte-Uore, University of Liege, Belgium.Mr.Packard married Marguerite Pearl Macintyre in 1910 and was father of three sons and one daughter.His three sons are at present serving with the Canadian forces.The Minister was asked by Percy Black (Con., Cumberland) if the Iwenty-por-cent reduction ordered for commercial users of sugar would apply to manufacturers of beer, wine and liquor, and if not, why not'.\u2019 \u201c1 made some inquiry and it confirmed my impression that no spgar is used in the manufacture of beers and spirits,\u201d said Mr.llsley.He added he would make a further inquiry about wines.Raymond Eudes (Lib., Monlreal-Ilochelaga ), one of the youngest, members in the House, said he considered any move towards conscription a threat to national unity and an obstacle to the war effort.He would have preferred it if the plebiscite bad not been decided on, but was nevertheless prepared to support the Government.Mr.Roy, who was elected as an Independent Conservative in 1940 and broke with that party last, session because he disliked its tendencies towards conscription, accused Prime Minister Mackenzie King of catering to both pro and anti-conscript ion ist sentiment.Hong Kong gave Canadians a foretaste of what was to he expected under conscription for overseas service, he said.Men had been sent without proper training to defend a place which was inadequately fortified.A veteran of the First Great War and again in uniform in the present conflict, Lieut.Leonard Tremblay (Lib., Doirchestcr) said Quebec was against conscription \u201cto a man\u201d because of the way it was \u201cthrown at us in 1917.\u201d He quoted enlistment figures to support his contention Quebec is doing its part in the war effort and said tho first full infantry battalion raised in the war was the Maisonneuve Regiment, a French-speaking formation.Maurice Gingues (Lib., Sherbrooke) declared himself against conscription of either men or wealth.Conscription of manpower, he said, reduced the birth-rate and so struck at the family, the foundation of society.Sources of wealth had already been tapped to the limit and it was important to preserve private initiative.Exemption for farmers\u2019 sons and farm laborers from military service was urged by J.II.Leclerc (Lib., Shefford) who said he was against conscription but agreeable to the plebiscite.Hector Authior (Lib., Ohapleau) told the House the people of Quebec would gladly accept conscription for continental defence but were against conscription for overseas service.He supported the plebiscite proposal.Mr.Authior expressed belief residents of gold-mining

Forty-Five Affiliated Groups\u2014Various Reports Reviewing Activities of Past Year Tabled at Annual Meeting\u2014Mrs.Andrew Sangster and Mrs.Jacob Nicol Reelected Joint Presidents.TO ADDRESS TRADE GROUP That the Sherbrooke Branch of the Canadian Red Cross Society and the forty-five groups under its jurisdiction forwarded the amazing total of 17,697 finished articles to headquarters during the year ending December 31, was made possible only through united effort and splendid co-operation, the two primary factors contributing to this wonderful achievement being the perfect harmony existing between the Joint-Presidents and the fact that young and old, rich and poor alike are working together for one common cause, to \u201chelp the Red Cross.\u201d Mrs.Andrew Sangster and Mrs, Jacob Nicol, Joint Presidents, presided at the largely attended annual meeting held yesterday afternoon in the Council Chamber at the City Hall, Mrs.Nidi first reading the Presidential address in French and Mrs.Sangster afterwards repeating it in English, this procedure being followed in several of the major reports submitted by the conveners.It was explained from the chair that no financial statement was given at Branch annual meetings, as all cash transactions are looked after in Montreal, whence the Branches receive all supplies with which to carry on their work.Further it was stated that the wonderful work accomplished by each of the forty-five groups had been incorporated in the Branch reports to expedite the business of the annual meeting.Despite the inclement weather, several groups were well represented, delegations coming from Sawyerville, Milan, Ascot, Bromp-tonville and Windsor Mills.Dr.G.Ellery Read, President of the V.O.N., who is ever interested in all good works, was present and in a brief address congratulated the Presidents and officers upon the ¦wonderful work accomplished during the past year under their able guidance by the Sherbrooke Branch of the Canadian Red Cross Society.Forty-eight shipments containing a total of 17,607 articles were made during the past year by the Sherbrooke branch, which consists, of 27 local groups.18 suburban groups and many individual workers, Mrs.F.A.Briggs, Convener of the Supplies Committee, stated in her report.The largest shipment in one month contained 2,292 articles, and was made in July.Mrs.Briggs explained that to hospital supplies, soldiers\u2019 comforts, donations and refugee clothing have been added knitted garments for the Women\u2019s Auxiliary forces and civilians and \u201ckits\u201d which are complete outfits for infants, young children, boys, girls and women.The branch shipped S'ôfl pieces for the Women\u2019s Auxiliary, 354 kits consisting of 4.582 articles and 132 layettes of 3,410 pieces.The Convener added that a total of 208 pieces, made through the efforts of the students and Red Cross workers in the Sherbrooke High School, were shipped at Christmas.\u201cNot the least in importance,\u201d she said, \u201cwas the contribution of aluminum foil, utensils and tubes, filling 79 cartons.In the preparation of this we have had great assistance from school children, to whom we

knitters in the city and the affiliated groups in Sherbrooke and suburbs turned in 8,-469 articles all made from wool supplied by the Red Cross Society, it was pointed out by Mrs.A.C.Stevens.\u201cWe have received a great many donations of knitted articles from those interested in our work and on behalf of the Wool Committee may I express to them our sincere thanks and appreciation,\u201d she said.Mrs.Stevens, who is Convener of the Wool Committee, explained that these articles consisted of the following: Knitted comforts for the men of the Army, Navy and Air Force, 4,919; knitting for hospitals, such as amputation covers, convalescent socks, bed socks and body belts, 206; knitted articles included in the many kits made up for women, girls, boys, children and infants, 2,442; knitting for refugee children from odd balls of yarn.48; and for the women\u2019s auxiliary services, 854.This latter figure was made up of pullovers with sleeves, sleeveless pullovers, gloves, ankle-socks, knee-length stockings and knickers.Mrs.Stevens stressed the urgent need for more knitters and said that an effort was made to have a generous supply of wool on hand at all times with which to make a great many different articles.Mrs.Andrew Sangster, joint President, said that a great deal of the Society\u2019s work during the past year was for the W.A.F.and for refugees and civilians in bombed areas.She added that the Women\u2019s Institutes, in addition to doing a great deal of sewing and knitting, have sent in a large supply of canned fruits and vegetables.\u201cAll our groups have raised considerable money, in various ways,\u201d Mrs.Sangster continued.\u201cSome of this money has been used to buy materials for refugee garments and some for other wmr purposes, including Russian relief, the Queen\u2019s Canadian Fund, the Canteen Fund, Wings for Britain, Merchant Navy League and other worthy war objects.\u201d In addition, she said, many of the groups sent parcels and cigarettes to the men Overseas at Christmas time.\u201cWe have had many donations, from our groups, and from individuals.of blankets, afghans, quilts, layettes and garments of all kinds.\u201d The joint President also remarked that many donations have been received from children, who have raised money by sales, entertainments and in various ways.\u201cTheir contributions are very much appreciated,\u201d she said.She added that during the year a French working group, the \u201cVictory Group,\u201d was organized in Sherbrooke, and has been doing what she described as splendid work.\u201cIn December Miss Jessie Mc-Nichol, of Boston, a former resident of Sherbrooke, sent us 275 Christmas cards to he sold for the benefit of the Red Cross.Some of our groups assisted the War Service Committee of the Y.W.C.A.in making curtains for the Lord Sherbrooke Camp from materials supplied by that Committee.\u201d Mrs.Sangster further reported that an underprivileged boy with defective eyesight was assisted to enter the Montreal Association for the Blind and that all expenses were refunded by the Association.Thanks were expressed to the Canadian Bank of Commerce for the use of the rooms occupied by the Society; S.Rubin, Ltd., the' Classon m- Valmore Gratton, Co-Director of the Montreal Industrial and Economic Bureau, who will address a meeting of the Sherbrooke

their \u201cMadcap Revue,\u201d staged in the brilliantly decorated gymnasium at the MacKinnon Memorial last evening.most splendidly portrayed the \u201cspirit\u201d which has so grandly upheld their morale through the intervening years, and given them strength to again do their \u201cbit\u201d for England, in whatsoever capacity they may serve.Flags and pennants literally screened the walls and ceiling of the spacious gynasium, its many brilliant overhead lights shining on the huge audience, which included officers and men in all the fighting forces, their wives, sweethearts and children, who together with hundreds of representative citizens were assembled there, bound together by one inseparable tie, love for the gallant \u201cVeterans.\u201d Fortunate indeed are these men to have had Captain S.K.MacDonald as Master of Ceremonies and Lieutenant W.E.Fletcher as their Musical Director, the latter\u2019s magnetic personality, together with his unquestioned ability as a musician, and his kindly tactful manner, winning the wholehearted admiration of everyone.Another special feature which contributed much to the enjoyable Revue, was the music of the No, 9 Company Veterans\u2019 Guard of Canada Orchestra (Leader Q.M.S.Warmington), in attendance by kind permission of Major G.F.Armstrong.M.E., V.D.O.C.No.9 Company, V.G.of Canada.The \u201cVeterans.\u201d would indeed be disappointed if the special numbers presented by members of the Y.W.C.A.were not included in this list, for the artistic performance given by Miss Udall in her solo dances, and the humorous number entitled \u201cFarm Dance,\u201d by three members of the Y.W.C.A.classes, were most vociferously acclaimed for their delightful contributions to the evening s entertainment.The work of the Y.W.C.A.War Service Committee is quite beyond P™:se, the \"Madcap Revue,\u201d being only one of the many activities sponsored by these energetic ladies, who find nothing too difficult so long as they are helping to make the lot of | the men in uniform happier, brighter 1 an 1 more like home during their brief sojourn in Sherbrooke.The audience openly expressed its j appreciation for the many and varied j performances staged by 'The Vet-j erans\" under the direction of Lieu-| tenant Fletcher, who is a host in himself, and richly deserves the praise of every loyal man and woman throughout the British Empire for his magnificent contribution towards its morale.The programme, which opened wuh 0 Canada, follows: Orchestral selections, Farnbam orchestra, V.G.( .; tap dance, 1\u2019te, Childs; mouth

Churchill reorganize his cabinet, will not be lessened by his refusal to appoint a separate .Minister of Defence to relieve him of the onerous duties of that post which lie has been carrying on his own broad shoulders.The widespread call for this change has involved the charge that Mr.Churchill is trying to look after too many details himself.In short, as one British newspaper put it, many of his critics claim that he is too much of a one-man-band.This disconcerting political disturbance is a matter of mighty concern to the Allies, since the leadership in Britain might become involved, and it certainly would be a risky experiment to change Governments in the midst of a grave military crisis.However, political observers in London seem to feel that the Prime Minister\u2019s personal leadership is not likely to be challenged, especially if he makes concessions.This imbroglio has been boiling up for some time and now has been brought sharply to the fore by those twin misadventures\u2014the disaster of Singapore and Die escape of the Nazi battleships from Brest.Announcement that the Prime Minister has ordered a secret enquiry into the naval affair is calculated to ease the position.In the matter of his ministers, however, Mr.Churchill is silent, although not long ago when under attack he declined to drop any of his colleagues.The feeling is widespread in Britain that there is no one capable of replacing Mr.Churchill in leadership at this time.The general public is not likely to forget the manner in which he helped John Bull pull himself up by ids bootstraps at a time when the Empire was rocking.The people are not likely to overlook either that the pugnacious Premier is the Englishman whom Hitler hates and fears most.Anyone who lias watched Mr.Churchill in action over a period of years cannot but doubt that bo is indeed a lone wolf, the precise characteristic which long kept him out of the Prime Ministership until the war demanded the brilliant talents which lit- alone possessed.Mr.Churchill is in personal appearance and in many mental characteristics a typical John Bull, which means that he is stubborn.It will be hard for him to overthrow any of his Ministers, and it will bo hard for him to assign broader authority to others.Still, having a vast amount of common sense he would be the last not to recognize that one of the greatest mistakes any Chief of State can make is to try and handle all the details of his ministries personally.There is no man capable of running a war without help.Now there probably is no man in Britain so capable ot running the whole show as Winston Churchill.Still, even if it be conceded that he works better as a one-man-band, he has to face the cardinal fact that Britain is a democracy.The people have made it clear that they want their leader to share bis responsibilities and powers.On the whole one might expect Mr.Churchill to make a graceful gesture and revamp a cabinet which is under fire.The mere fact that many people do not have confidence in the cabinet is enough to warrant changes, for confidence is vital in times like these.'JUSTICE\u201d UNDER THE AXIS Tomorrow at Riom in Unoccupied France there opens a trial which should illustrate to the world the kind of \"justice\" it may well expect to get should the Axis hordes over-run or dominate the world.Five men, former leaders in French political and military circles, are being charged with the responsibility for the defeat of France on any one of a number of grounds.But in essence, the chief bill of complaint is that they sought to resist the encroachments of Germany at all.History has already proved the pitiful weakness of France, both from the point of view of airpower and internal morale, but to charge these five specifically with the responsibility indicates that they are merely the leaders of the parties which feared Germany and which Germany feared the most.Fiance was admittedly unprepared for any real, serious war.But so were other democracies.The peace-loving mind of the democracies could not see the real danger of a world war, of a total war, and this feeling hampered those leaders who appreciated the danger, and slowed down defence preparations to the point where they were virtually non-existent.The sole charge against these men is that they were prepared to risk all for the preservation of freedom, perhaps at a time when the chance of loss was overwhelming.\u201cBUYING ON THE SPOT\u2019 L\u2019Action Catholique We have no deeire to reduce the whole question of war to the simple affair of distribution of patronage.Nevertheless, distributive justice has its rights even in wartime, even if the exigencies of organization force public administrators to act rapidly.Because everybody pays war taxes it seems reasonable that all taxpayers be given their chance to serve the State financially when they are in a position to sell articles the Government need*.At the present time the Federal Government is establishing new offices everywhere for different purposes.We are informed that these new offices are furnished with furniture generally sent to Ottawa first and there centralized.Would it not be equally practicable to buy this furniture wherever it could be found?.We do not suggest that the Government does not buy anything in Quebec.But we insist that it should lose no opportunity to purchase on the spot the material it requires.FROM THE RECORD FILES OF THIRTY YEARS AGO THE U.S.SHIPBUILDING PROGRAMME A mighty shipbuilding programme of two merchant ships a day this year and \"the best and biggest tanker fleet in the world by the end of 1942\" was announced by the United States House of Representatives Appropriations Committee, when the committee made public testimony of Rear-Admiral Emory S.Land, Chairman of the Maritime Commission, in approving a defence deficiency bill containing an appropriation of $1,502.000,000 and contract authority for $2,350,000,000 to help the Commission build up a fleet big enough to meet wartime commerce needs, and $731,420,000 to carry out its expanded lend-lease activities.\"The shipbuilding cup is full to the overflowing\u201d Land told the committee in outlining a programme that contemplates construction of 2,877 major vessels at an aggregate estimated cost of $6,704,464,056, part of which already has

MM CANADIAN APPLE STORES The apple a day programme of many Canadians may have to be reduced in the near future, Agriculture Department figures indicated.After a growing season when production generally was reduced, and after substantial exports to the United Kingdom under contract provisions, the stocks of apples on hand amount to about one month\u2019s supply.It will probably be summer before further supplies are available from the United States.\t, Agriculture Department officials said stocks on hand were about 1,000,000 bushels, or about twenty per cent, of the 3,750,000 bushels on hand a year ago.T(ie average output of storage movement to both tlie fresh market and processors has averaged about 1,000,000 bushels a month, although there was a sharp decline in January which indicated this level was not being maintained.Actual supplies are largest in British Columbia but they only total about twenty-two per cent of the holdings of last year.Nova Scotia has about thirty-seven per cent as much as last, year and Ontario about thirty-one per cent.The gales of September 25 and 28 resulted in the loss of four per cent of the Ontario apple crop and total 1941 Ontario production was estimated at 553,600 barrels against 783,200 in 1940.British Columbia production was placed at 1,115,000 barrels against 1,981.000 in 1940, and Nova Scotia 1,148,000 barrels against 1.151,000 in 1910.If you want to see pride suffer meet a prominent citizen in a town where he isn\u2019t.\u2014Brandon Sun.Ours w.as a home town in which a fellow holding a few mortgages and $35,000 was known by courtesy as a millionaire.\u2014Detroit News.Mr.Hepburn may be an \u201caiarm-ist.\" Still on his return from Australia three years ago he predicted present developments in the Pacific.\u2014Windsor Star.All sorts of schemes for conserving cloth that goes into men\u2019s clothing are being advanced, but until they begin leaving out pockets the situation won\u2019t be really serious.\u2014 Ottawa Journal.I met a girl at a party last week, and I managed to get her Into a dark corner.\u201cWhat about a kiss?\u201d I said.\u201cCome on, ducks, I\u2019d like a big kiss.\u201d \u201cOh, shut up!\u201d she told me.\u201cBlimey, can\u2019t I have a kiss?\u201d \u201cYes\u2014but you can\u2019t expect to get it while you\u2019re talking.\u201d The Missus was in a pet shop and she saw a parrot that was advertised as a good talker.\u201cHow many words can it say?\u201d she asked the bloke.\u201cOh, twenty-five or thirty, roughly speaking.\u201d \u201c1 meant not counting the swear words.\u201d Roland had an examination at school on Tuesday, and suddenly the teacher said: \u201cRoland, did I see you copying an answer from the next boy\u2019s paper?\u201d \u201cNo, teacher\u201d he told her.\u201cI was only looking to see if he\u2019d copied my answer right.\" MENTAL PREPAREDNESS Christian Science Monitor For the United Nations the tale of defeat in the Pacific\u2014Pearl Harbor, Hong Kong, Manila, Singapore\u2014is a record primarily of mental unpreparedness.Pearl Harbor had the planes and guns to prevent or blast an air raid; it lacked the alertness : to use them.The story of Malaya and Singapore is a bit different, for a lack of physical equipment, particularly of fighter planes, has seemed decisive.But behind that deficiency was the shortage of foresight and imagination which would have prepared for unexpected forms of attack.Writing in Life Magazine a month ago, Cecil Brown spoke of the \u201cSingapore mentality\" and the sense of an unreal world.Cabling from Singapore when the Japanese appeared to have overrun half the Island and come to the outskirts of the city, C.Yates McDaniel of the Associated Press, again pointed to the \u201cunreality\u201d of the atmosphere, with people gathering for a tea dance at the Raffles Hotel and lining up at the box office of a movie.Soldiers were struggling heroically without air support to hold back the Japanese flood, but as in Bataan, heroism is not enough when civilians and military leaders have been too sleepy or hidebound to prepare.Of course part of the Allies\u2019 disadvantage came from the treachery and advance plotting of the Japanese with Vichy and Bangkok.Apparently Tokyo had been building up for months in Tndo-China and Formosa the reservoirs of man-power and plane-power which have poured over Malaya and the Dutch Islands.To some extent this was known to the Allies, but military intelligence has been faulty or unused.The Dutch by contrast have been far more awake.There seems to have been no imaginative planning to deal with the dangers that were reported.The tre- Thc members of the Corporation of Bishop's University unanimously turned down a proposal from the Old Boys\u2019 Association that the college give up University work and the conferring of degrees and turn itself into a preparatory school.Patrons for the Leap Year Ball given by the residents of the Three Villages were B.F.Butterfield, F.W, D.Melloon and W\u2019.A.Daly, The Committee of Management named at.the annual meeting of the Knowlton Creamery comprised L.R.Whitman, F.A.Frizzle, John Barber, N.W.Chamber-lain, Alvin Mlzener, Thomas Duhoyce, Mark Tibbits.John Jones, Otis Streeter, J.N.Marsh, Edwin Wilson, and Ernest Bissonette, Among those taking part in a musical programme sponsored by the Ladies\u2019 Aid of Plymouth Congregational Church were Mrs.M.Reid, Mr, A.E.J.McCreary and Mrs.J.R.Sangster.Those winning prizes at a carnival given at the Knowlton Arena rink were Miss Gertrude Farfalla, Mrs.H.H.Rublee, George Savage, Mrs.C.N.Crutchfield, Roy Bullard, Lionel Sicard, Miss Evelyn Pibus and Oscar Farfalla.The Town of Granby showed a total revenue for the past year of $19,592.80 with disbursements of $18,517.09, leaving a favorable balance of $1,076.71.McKENNEY ON BRIDGE By Wm E.McKenney, America\u2019s Card Authority mendous naval installation at Singapore has been almost useless.The great guns continued to point to sea, defending against attack from the water, while the Japanese came by land and air.The British had built airfields in Malaya, but failed to protect them.They proved veiy convenient bases for the Nipponese.Indeed, an objective observer would say that so far the Japanese, who were supposed to be imitators, have displayed most of the initiative and imagination.In strategy, tactic», inventiveness and adaptation to new conditions and weapons they have, on the whole, shown superiority.They have had inferior equipment but used it skillfully.The strategy of the United Nations, as President Roosevelt reiterated just the other day, is still one of defence.They feel that they must accumulate a superiority in tanks, planes and guns.That may be necessary.But if they could learn even a little from a famous warrior of old they might not be condemned to the defence.David did not have-» to match Goliath\u2019s shield and spear.Relying on spiritual might, he was directed to choose and use the humble slingshot and pebbles, unexpected but effective weapons.If the Allies are not ready to take the offensive, they still might profit by putting more reliance on spiritual and mental factors.Spread thin along a line running round the globe, they have particular need to know where the enemy is going to make his sudden, concentrated thrusts, Just now they are striving to see where Hitler\u2019s spring drive will go and how to meet it.They could use such military intelligence as is described in the sixth chapter of Second Kings: Then the King of Syria warred against Israel, and took counsel with his servants, saying.In such and such a place shall be my camp.And the man of God sent unto the King of Israel, saying, Beware that thou pass not such a place; for thither the Syrians are come down.The Allies\u2019 leaders may not possess Elisha\u2019s spiritual discernment, but it might be well if all the peoples who believe, in divine guidance | sought more actively to use it to i protect and forewarn themselves j against the evil that is attacking j them today.GIN RUMMY HOW TO SCORE This is one of a series of articles on Gin Rummy, the card craze now sweeping- the United States.) *\t-\u2019k\t* By WILLIAM E.McKEXXEY, America\u2019s Card Authority In my article yesterday about Gin Rummy, I explained that any player may go down, that is, expose his hand and end the play, if his odd cards total 10 or less.In totalling the odd cards, face cards are counted at 10 each, the ace.counts as 1, all other cards count their pip value.When a player goes down with an incomplete hand, his opponent plays any odd cards he can on the exposed sets, then totals the remaining odd cards.If the player who went down still has the lower total, he wins the difference of the totals.But if the opponent of the down player shows an equal or lower total of odd cards, he wins the difference of the totals plus a bonus of 10 points.If a player lays down a complete hand, with no odd cards, this is gin and the opponent may not play any of his odd cards on the sets.The winner is credited with the full total of the adverse odd cards, plus a bonus of 20 points.It is usual to play for a game of 100 points.A running total is kept of the scores of each player.The game, ends after the hand in which one player (or both players) reaches ¦ j or Liberty in Canada.I a total of 100 or more points.Then I the difference of the totals is credit-jed to the winner, plus a bonus of 100 points for game.The rules also provide that in settling up a game each player is credited with 25 points for each down he has scored.That does not mean that the bonus goes to the -player who first laid his hand down, hut to the player who scored the points after a down.As we have seen, the opponent of the player who goes down sometimes beats him.There is some difference of practice as to this bonus for downs.In some circles it is omitted, and in others different amounts are given.! In my opinion a bonus of at least ' 10 points is necessary, in order to make it worthwhile to go down.The very object of this form of Rummy lis to make the downs more frequent .and the whole game faster than 'straight Rummy.If there is no bonus for going jdown, many players will try to -\u2018gin\u201d -every hand and of course without ¦a bonus, \u201csand-bagging\u201d must be \u2018resorted to as it is often the only -safe course, \u201cSand-bagging\u201d is failure to go down when able\u2014waiting jfor the opponent to go down and then tray him with a lower hand.| When the stock is pretty well ex-jhausted, you must try either to go ! \u201cgin\u201d, or if you do go down it must be with a very low count\u2014other-jwise your opponent might trap you ]and not only gain the down but the bonus of 10 points.The treaty providing for the Pan-j ama Canal was signed November 18, j 1903, between the United States and \u2018the Republic of Panama.CONGRESSWOMAN TO LEAD\u2014 WHAT TO LEAD\u2014 THAT\u2019S THE PUZZLE!
