...prowling up the peaks, picking off snipers. In one desperate skirmish they killed the Berber Generalissimo Sidi Ben Ahmed. Some of his rattled followers climbed to a stronghold on the mighty Tizier Ouzine peak. French native troops dragged up deadly 75-mm. guns. Last week the 755 spoke systematically, blew peak and stronghold to ruins. Infantry columns occupied the splintered heights, captured the stunned irreconcilables, finished the first half of the campaign. Then they turned to blow the remainder of the Berbers out of the mountains to the northeast. The French War Ministry announced: "Complete pacification is a matter...
...were his mistress, Irma Zwiestlbauer, and a small child. Clerk Knop was determined to die and he did not care in what company. He set off a bomb of ecrasite, an Austrian shell explosive. Besides gratifying Knop's desire it split the hotel from basement to roof, blew out the front of four stories sent 180-ft. streamers of flame into the air, injured 80 and gave Knop, mistress & child the company of four strangers in Death.

S. Davis Cup teams was still at work last week. In the next match, it became clearer still. Perry won the first set, as his teammate had done, 6-1. Allison made him work in the second and at 4-5 on his own serve pulled out a game that went to deuce eight times...
...miracle of God!'" While churchgoers were digesting this, 47 Nazi brides and bridegrooms marched through Berlin in snakedance formation led by a blaring Storm Troop band. At the huge Lazarus-Kirche perspiring Pastor Lenkning married them in batches, sent them off rejoicing to a Bohemian brewery where they blew froth with 1,000 wedding guests. Popping up among the brides & bridegrooms, club-footed Dr. Goebbels urged them, all at the top of his lungs to increase & multiply, bestowed on each couple "a picture of myself and family" (i. e. self, wife, daughter & stepson). But at sundown there came...
