Mrs. Thorpe, a 28-year-ald beauty and former dancer, took the poison after being rebuffed in an appeal to her wealthy former husband for financial aid. 'lnternational) Two weeks before the Battle of New Orleans, in which 2,600 men were killed, peace had been agreed upon in Europe. News did not reach America until a month after the battle. Had the Atlantic cable been in operation there would have been no battle and 2,600 lives would have been spared. The weapon most feared and hated by the Germans is the powerful U. S. Army Ordnance Browning Automatic rifle. Reports from European combat areas say the German infantry continually tries to neutralize our B.A.R. fire before turning its attention to our mortars and machine guns.
