staple cotton market is caused by sew
eral factors, chief of which has been
the reduction in the production of au-
tomobile tire fabric made from long
staple cotton. The machinery former
" used for the production of this
fabric has been Communicated by the
war department and is now being
utilized for the production of army
duck, tarpaulins, wagon covers etc.
made from short staple cotton. The
market for long staple cotton has been
further affected by the changes in the
demand for domestic fine goods fabric,
and also by the fact that the fine goods
factories have been manufacturing air
plane and ballon fabrics for the army
and navy. The chief result of all these
conditions has been to reduce very ap-
preciably the demand and consumption
of long staple cotton
However, you may rest assured that
no practical steps will be omitted
which will in any way tend to relieve
the present distressed situation. We
| have received numerous communica-
| lions from Arizona regarding this
| question, and We are endeavoring to
| give the matter the attention that il
merits.
Very truly yours,

PLAN NEW PARKING
ORDINANCE FOR MESA

MESA, Dec. 1.-The city council is
busy formulating proper parking or
dinances for the business section of the
town. An ordinance passed recently
demands that cars parked at the curb
must turn to the right as they back
out, and that on the paved streets no
horses shall be hitched TO any post.
Hitching places are provided at the
ends of the blocks recently paved.
However, the question to be dis
cussed at the meeting to be held on
Tuesday night is that of parking in the
center of the streets. In the opinion
of those who have expressed them
selves the wide streets of Mesa fit
most admirably to the plan of center
parking, leaving ample room for the
contemplated Commute limit for
lengthwise parking at the curb.
The arrangement will provide for a
40-foot break in the line of parking
places, the opening to be midway the
length of the 600-foot blocks. so that
cars leaving the center of the street
will not have TO traverse the full length
of the block before making a turn

are from the cotton camps around the
country where the workers are living
in tents or other makeshift dwellings.
There are very few cases from the res
idents of the town or surrounding
country where housing facilities are
ample. This is pleasing indication
that the epidemic now is on the wane.
Already the matter of removing the
hospital to some smaller building is
being discussed so that the Franklin
school building which now is being
used may be fumigated, the walls,
woodwork and furniture scrubbed, and
the place made ready for opening of
the school,

Left Their Guns

Italian Headquarters, Sunday
.night.-Austrian troops left to cov-
er the retreat used their machine
guns TO set up a barrage. This was
soon seen and the Italians went af-
ter them, attacking virtually all
along the Piave river from Montel-

mouth of the river. The attack was
quickly pressed with artillery and
air planes. The number of the guns
left behind b. the Austrians who re-
tired has not been computed but 1t
is said that they were great. The
work of the American airmen con-
tributed greatly to the discontinue
Of the Austrians according to the

Austrian offensive was more than 9
failure; it was defeat for the enc
my, who at several points was foul
times stronger than the Italians"
This announcement was made b.
Premier Orlando in the Senate today
amid enthusiastic cheering. He add
ed:
after the present victorious re-
sistance another battle may burs,
out sooner or later. In fact reliable
reports which have been received
say that the Austrians are concen-
trating large forces in the Tyrol and
Trentino in a desperate attempt to
break through the mountain front
"A proposal made by an Italian
general to declare Monte Grape a
national monument in recognition OF
the heroism displayed there, and an
acdnceo by the Premier. has been
received throughout Italy with the
greatest enthusiasm"
The first phase of the Austrian Of
fensive has ended in failure-in de-
feat. The elimination of what was
intended to be the crushing of Italy
between the jaws of the Austrian
pincers, is the rout of the invaders
themselves.
With their bachs to the swollen
Piave river the Austrians for several
days past had been trying to ward
off the vicious codnter-attacks of the
Italian and save the situation. Now
they are endeavoring, and still un-
der great pressure, to ford the
stream and reach safety on its east
ern bank.
From the Montello plateau to the
Adriatic Sea the enemy is in retreat.
Already his losses are estimated at
10000 men and the chances of his
escape without additional heavy cas-
ualties and men made prisoner seem
remote.
Large number of the pontoon
bridges that the Austrians threw
across the Piave have been swept
away by the now torrential stream,
and on all the sectors of the 49,
mile front where they gained edges
of the Venetian plan they are being
sorely harassed by the fire of the
Italian guns and rifles and by the
machine gun fire and bombs of the
allied aviators who have done such
notable execution since the attempt
ed drive was started.
