am not an expert in arms and ammunition and wouldn't know a dumdum bullet if I saw one The British rifle with a steel ring attachment on the side was similar to one which I had picked up on a former battlefield for enir purposes the day before and the bullet was undeniably and the general was sincere Jn his tion that he had the goods on the English but it was a question for the high court of civilization advised by a commission of experts I think we Germans are almost too good natured in some the general remarked with a twinkle of humor when the conversation drifted around to Do you know I that there is a regular postal j vice between my trenches and the French At one point they are only about fifty yards apart and the men send letters papers and other things back and forth The other day our soldiers got a letter from the French Today we are enemies in j fourteen days we will be friends and then we will both go against the I English The general believes that there is I more or

centenary of the famous battle of New Orleans one hundred years battle fought by the United States with a European power In the summer of 1814 the British government launched against the United States an attack which it was expected would prove decisive A great fleet and army of over twenty thousand soldiers and sailors was sent to capture New Orleans Five out of the city Andrew Jackson with an army of and Kentucky frontiersmen barred the path of the advancing host On January 8 the British made a determined assault on the American lines The issue showed that not even Wellington's veterans fighting in the open could make way against the terrible fire of the frontier riflemen In a short space of time two thousand British dead and wounded strewed the plain in front of Jackson's while the American loss was only seventy-one All too late the news was borne across the ocean that peace had been made at Ghent Belgium on December 24 two weeks before the battle nothing half so interesting as
