► lVATIONAL independence for the
Czechs and Slovaks of Central
Europe, sought after for generations
past, became a reality during the
World War.
Years of fighting for independence
by these Balkan races had been stifled
by political control of Austria-Hungary,
of which ancient Bohemia and Mo
ravia, for ages the home of the Czechs
and Slavs, were a part.
Entirely against their will these two
races were conscripted into the Aus
trian Army to fight for the Central
Powers against their Slavic brothers,
the Russians and Serbians. Early in
1915 the Russians captured them in
large numbers—then from Russian
prison camps ‘they were released to
fight for the Allies.
By December 16, 1917, so many
Czechs were fighting with the Allies
that France officially decreed the
formation of Czechoslovak army units.
Strange as it seems, not until Octo
ber 28, 1918—10 months later—was
the independence of the Czechoslovak
state decreed.
Winning Contract
By THE FOUR ACES.
gY this time every one knows thst
the most novel and Intriguing
feature of five-suit bridge Is the In
troduction of the 65th card, known as
the widow. While this widow card is
frequently an invaluable ally to the
declarer, its value will not always be
readily apparent.
In the following deal the widow
would appear at first glance to be of
no value whatever but, actually, proper
use of it provided the only means for
declarer to make his contract.
South, dealer.
Neither side vulnerable.

The bidding:
South West North East
IE Pass 3E Pass
4* Pass 4# Pass
4 A Pass 5E Pass
6E Pass Pass Pass
It is interesting to note that the
bidding followed exactly along the
lines of modern contract bidding and
North’s Jump raise to three eagles was
a game force and successive control
showing bids, indicating that a small
slam appeared feasible.
West opened the king of hearts and
declarer added the widow to his hahd,
discarding a club. A spade shift fol
lowed and declarer saw that his only
other possible losers were in clubs. He
saw a possible strip play and won
with the ace, then returned to dum
my’s king of spades and trumped
the remaining spade in nis hand. He
next cashed dummy’s two top dia
monds, and then proceeded to cross
ruff the hand until he had eliminated
all suits from both hands except clubs
and trumps. At tljls stage dummy
held two trumps and four clubs. De
clarer played only one round of
trumps, then led the jack of clubs and
finessed. West won the trick with the
queen, but was now in the strip play
position and had only two choices,
either to return a club directly into
the tenace or to lead a suit which
would enable declarer to ruff in dum
my and discard his long club, either
play giving declarer his contract.
While the strip play would not have
worked if West had held the other
trump, declarer could have won West’s
trump exit in dummy and been in
position to finesse East for the out
standing club honor, as his remaining
chance to fulfill the contract.
