A—14 = FRANCE IN DRNVE TOCHECK ARMING Dangers to Europe Wil Be Taken Up at Geneva, Says Delbos. By uhie Assoctated Press. BERGERAC, France, September 14. ~France plans to take quick action to check the headlong armament race threatening Europe with “total ruin,” Foreign Minister Yvon Delbos revealed today. He indicated the move would be made before the League of Nations® gession in Geneva late this month, based on strengthening the League, to which he said “France remains faith- ful.” If Europe is to be saved, Delbos as- gerted in an address at the closing ceremony of the Bergerac Fair, it is absolutely essential to halt armaments. Means must be found, he said, “for controlled limitation” of armaments and warned that if the race continues Europe will be led “not only to total ruin, but to extermination.” French official circles regard French security endangered by Chancellor Adolf Hitler's recent action in length- ening the term of compulsory military service in Germany from one to two years and the announcement by Pre- mier Benito Mussolini that Italian armed strength can reach eight mil- lion men at 8 moment’s notice. Spurred by Hitler. These moves were followed by Hit- ler's expressed wish that Germany had the rich Russian Ukraine agri- cultural lands, made Saturday in a speech at Nurnberg, and by an Italian announcement of extraordinary ap- propriations for new armaments. France, also, within the last few days, set aside new appropriations for improvement of her army, chiefly on the basis of quality rather than increased size. Delbos asserted today that what- ever happens, France will cling to her pacts with the Little Entente, | the Soviet Union and Poland. These, he declared, were “purely defensive” and therefore ‘“directed against no one.” “Calls to arms and idealogical cru- sades which can plunge Europe into fire and blood do not come from our side,” Delbos shouted, switching to the Spanish situation. “We don't mix into the interior affairs of other countries,” he said in defense of Socialist Premier Leon Blum's neutrality policy. He added, however, that “If we, have adopted a policy of non-inter- vention, it is because a contrary at-‘ titude would bring the risk of war for us. “We know that if we furnish arms | to the Spanish republic other coun- tries—countries favorable to the reb- els—would exceed our own efforts. Thus our help would bring results entirely different from that intended. Powder Barrel Danger. “We know also that in the present European atmosphere the slightest sparks could set off a powder bar- rel, bringing incidents whose conse- quences would be incalculable.” Delbos urged a persistent campaign for peace. “It has been our job to rise above the criticisms of our policy,” he de- clared, the millions of human beings who would be the victims of an imprudent attitude. “An immense majority of the peo- ple approve our policy.” Delbos pointed out even the Soviet Union and English trade unions, *“who could be only the least suspected of friendly feelings toward fascism,” adhered to policies closely paralleling the French. Winning Contract BY THE FOUR ACES. (Inventors of the system that has beaten every other system In existence. A Vienna Coup. ISS CHARLOTTE SIDWAY of Buffalo, an excellent golfer, enhanced her reputa- tion as a bridge player con- siderably in her first visit to Asbury Park, N. J. Playing in the masters’ pair championship with R. E. Need- ham of Greenville, Pa., she entered the final session in second position and, while she did not win the tourna- ment, her play was of such fine cali- ber that she caused the other players many uneasy moments. Here is an example of her excellent dummy play: North, dealer. North-South vulnerable. Mr. Needham, West. 146 Pass Pass Miss Sidway's cue bid of two spades naturally showed first-round control of that suit and that she was inter- ested in g slam. When Mr. Needham responded with a jump to four hearts, she saw no reason for further delay and so called the small slam. The opening lead of the five of dia- monds was won by Miss Sidway’s queen, whereupon she plgyed her singleton club, which was won by FREE LECTURE CHRISTIAN SCIENCE Miss Margaret Morrison, C.

West returned the jack of diamonds, dummy winning with the king. At this point Miss Sidway was cer- tain that West held four diamonds. Therefore, the only way to make her contract was by means of a Vienna coup. Accordingly, she trumped the eight of clubs in her own hand snd laid down the ace of spades. This play constituted a Vienna coup, since it established the king of spades in the West hand. Miss Sidway now played four rounds of trump and the king and queen of clubs, discarding her three small spades on the last three leads. Dummy now held the queen of spades and one diamond, Miss Sid- way the ace and one diamond, and West, who could not hold both the king of spades and protection in dia- monds, was forced to discard one of the latter, enabling Miss Sidway to fulfill her contract. Incidentally, for those who think that squeezes are a matter of luck, it is worthy of note that when West played the second diamond Miss Sid- way had remarked, “I am afraid you are going to be squeezed.” (Copyright. 1936.) ‘The Four Aces will be pleased {5 answer letters from readers if a stamped (3-cent), gelf-addressed envelope _is inclosed “with each communication.

Cobb Says: As Maine Goes, So Goes the Political Propaganda. SANTA MONICA, Calif., Septem- ber 14—As the reader’'s eye falls on these lines, his remaining eye will be turned on the' Maine election. Be- cause, as goes ] Maine, so goes the propaganda. F'rinstance, if she piles up an old-time Repub- lican majority, Jim Farley will j@#l laugh scornfully fland point with pride to Georgia, where there's thought of doing away with the closed season on at ing protected by game laws during certain months. 1If, on the contrary, the Democrats | retain their grip, John Hamilton will laugh with contempt and call atten- tion to Vermont, where there’ll hardly be enough Democrats for slaughtering purposes in November. But in one case or the other, it's a hollow laugh, coming not from the heart but from sinking. For fuller details, conclusively prov- ing the Maine returns don't mean a thing or else mean everything, see the editorial columns of Tuesday morn- ing’s papers.

Hokus leading the charge, with shining epithets on his shoulders and all buttoned down the front with a double row of brass bunkums. \Ccpyright. 1936, by the North Americsn Newspaper Alliance inc.) the pit of the stomach, which will be | THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON; D.- BEN WEBSTER’S CAREER.
