The 5,000 were divided 3,000 Italians and 2,000 Germans and the other group was split into 1,500 Italians and 1,000 Germans. In addition the British claimed huge amounts of material captured or destroyed. In the most recent fighting, one day's toll at Ed Duda included 15 Italian tanks destroyed, 130 vehicles rnd 50,000 gallons of fuel oil taken, 4.iM) men captured, two batteries of vjedium artillery; five anti-tank ?uns, 50 supply trucks and a big quantity of ammunition. Amusing stories abounded. The best was the German prisoner who said he was, at the time of his capture, escorting a score of British prisoners to the rear. The men kept spreading out, he said, and finally, two of them made s break to escape. They fled toward an emplacement of Italian machinegunners. The German said the Ital vans, 11 in number, surrendered at once to the two fleeing. Englishmen, who then grabbed the Italian guns and captured the German sentry, the whole group of one German and 11 Italians being taken back to the British lines. I LANE: 3iggest Damaged The world's largest airplane, the JGd-foot-wing-spread Martin navy bolnber "Mars," was damaged by in explosion and fire on its maiden ' water test" and an investigation of possible sabotage had begun. To watchers on shore it bad ap pea red the plane had suddenly gone AOt of control, , then tfyere was a sud- 4£n roar, crash anil one motor dropped off, to be succeeded by a burst of flame and smoke, the crew veering the ship to the river bank and then jumping overboard with fire extinguishers, and fighting the flames from chest-deep water. Vice President and Pilot Ken &bel said the fire was caused by a propeller blade coming off and shearing cleanly through the control room, injuring one man and cutting oil and gas lines, which started the blaze. Investigation centered on the fact that the propellers were plastic*, first time this material had been used on an American plane of large size, though it had been reputedly used with succeas in G«ri|tan and Russian planes. the Sg car with the low price for the American people. rss •- ;4 PONTIACS JOB negating anti-aircraft cannon for the United States Navy and MUiif , £ •j R.

After being "out the news" practically since his dramatic surrender during the Nazi sweep through the Low Countries, King Leopold, the "tragic recluse of Laekan." has been revealed as secretly married for months to a commoner. The fatal automobile accident which almost took his life and in which his former wife. Queen Astrid was fatally hurt, occurred in 1935, The bride was said to be Mary Leila Baels, a "well-educated, simple woman." She is a daughter of a former Belgian cabinet member. The new consort of the "prisoner king" is-'much younger than j -.e. It was said that they were mar- i ried secretly in a church ceremony, and that a civil ceremony was planned aoon. Leopold's father, like hie first wife, died a tragic death. King Albert was killed in a mysterious fall while climbing a mountain peak al Namur only a year before Queen Astrid's death. ; IV :' d£AM >- / SAt*U »OW* "SijtXU .
