NAPLES NEARLY DESERTED.
War Has Made Transformation in the
Gay City.

Naples, Feb. 27.-"Labelle Aapoli," o
the days before the war has ceased Ii
be. The tourist hotels along the waite
front and on the heights overlooking tn,
crescent of the bay are virtually empty
Many have boarded up their Windows
and gone out of business entirely. The
army of guides, interpreters, hotel run
ners and money changers has become al
army OF soldiers, scaling the mountains
of the Carso hundreds of miles to the
north, where eternal snow replaces the
eternal sun of southern Italy.
The quays are deserted. Where a year
ago 260 ships were plying between Ma
pies and the United States, with ton
mage Of l,300 900, there now are eleven
with a total of less than 10000 tons OF
ten companies, not counting the German
and Austrian ones, running 81 transat-
lantic passenger ships, one Italian line
now runs two boats, one British line two,
and French line one. That is all Be-
! fore the war the traveller to America
had choice of some go ships from. Ma
| pies; to-day he has choice of five. Pas.
senger rates have gone up, but as there
are virtually no first and second class
/ passengers the increase makes little diff
ference to the steamship companies, be-
cause the Storage rates are about the
same.
Seldom does one now see curtains of
drying spaghetti screening the narrow
ways between the houses in Naples.
There is scarcity of food, Thursday
and Friday of every week are "meatless
days" when no meat may be purchased
or sold in restaurants, and the Neapol-
itan is forced to live on fish, maccaroni,
rice or more vegetables. Friday, sat
urday and Sunday of every week are
"sweetless days" when neither sugar
nor cakes of any kind can be served, at
least in public. Every day is butter
less day and even cream is rarity en-
tirely out OF reach of anyone but the
most Injurious.
In Naples so per cent of the inhabi-
tants lived directly or indirectly by the
sea. or by the tourists the sea brings
them There are no more tourists, and
the activities directly connected with
shipping have so fallen off as to leave
so per cent of the Neapolitans in a bad
way In the bay of Naples no more boys
postcard sellers now listen to the sterner
voice of drill sergeant up any one of
the side streets in the newer STARTERS of
the town, where documentary military
training goes on constantly. There are
plenty of men in Naples, as i'm all of
Italy, but almost all in uniform Der
saglieri. with their cock -feathered hats
and hob-nailed boots; tripolini, with red,
rimless caps from which blue tassels
hang by long string, officers with capes |
thrown over their shoulders like Spanish |
grandecs and staggering carahineri, the |
terror of evil doors. The system seems I
to be to call one class after another /
brush up their military training then
give them leave of absence, thus keep
ing them under martial law and subject
to military orders.

Tammany Democrats Show Lack of Con.
fidenoe in Federal Trade Commission.

Washington, Feb. 27.-Because of lack
of confidence in the federal trade com
mission, the Tammany Democrats in the
House agreed yesterday to oppose the
resolution to appropriate 100000 for a
nationwide food shortage investigation.
The New York members declared that,
for all of the fact President Wilson has
advocated the passage of the resolution.
they would support Congressman Fitz-
gerald of New York, who has been con-
sistent in his opposition to the measure.
An attempt will be made to line up all
members of the House from the large
cities
As result of the situation. the adj
ministration leaders watched anxiously
for any move by the New York Demo-
Gratis or by the liquor forces opposed to
the bin providing for prohibition for the
District of Columbia, which is quite sure
to cause fight. Above all, they waited
for the address President Wilson deliv-
cred to Congress yesterday afternoon.

BERNSToRFF READY TO SAIL.

Halifax, n. s., Feb. 27.-Rubber heels
worn by German officials who are accom-

German ambassador, on his homeward
voyage aboard the steamship Frederik

British authorities in the final stage of
the examination for contraband to which
the party has been subjected in the last
10 days. All passengers on the liner hate
been passed.
The Frederik VIII. will depart as soon
as 100 tons of coal are put in her bunk
ers.
So far as could be learned Sunday
night, nothing of particular interest to
the British authorities was found in the
passengers luggage. More than 1000
trunks and bags were taken off the
steamer and placed in the freight sheds
on the pier to which the Frederik was
tied up last Thursday night and were
given a thorough examination. A close
guard has been maintained on both land
and water approaches to the pier.

EXTRA SESSION A QUESTION.
Senate Republicans to Decide 1t Between

/ Washington, Feb. 27.--It may be de.
cided between now and Wednesday night
whether an extra session of Congress viii
! be forced by Senate Republicans They
have the whole situation in their hands
and the Democratic leaders realize it.
Half a dozen important considerations

are the question of whether the president
shall be permitted to deal with the Ger
man controversy without aid, the Gray
son case and the fight with the postmas-
ter general over the pneumatic tube is
sue. Moreover, it is believed that an inn
mense amount of hasty and il-considered
legislation will be enacted this week if
Congress Il left with only week in
which TO clear the decks, and the danger
to the country from such laws, il is held.
is something Congress should guard II
against if possible. An amendment may
be offered TO the naval bill to reduce the
number of rear admirals in the staff
corps of the navy. The effect of this
would be to open up the whole question
of naval promotions TO discussion in open
session; and it is calculated that if this
should be done the president would be
compelled to withdraw the nomination of
DR.. Grayson or submit TO defeat of his
confirmation.
Many senators sincerely desire an ex-
ira session on general principles. Among
them is LaFollette of Wisconsin. who is
personally capable of SO adjusting his
forces as TO compel one il he is so mind
ed. II would appear certain either that
the Democratic leaders must yield much
to the Republicans or take the response
blity for letting some Of the great sup
ply bills 20 over.
