PRISONERS TELL OF
ALLIED AIR RAIDS
Increasing Destructiveness of These
Excursions Proved by German
Testimony.

LONDON, Sept 20-The Increasing de-
structiveness OF allied air raids is attested
to by German prisoners. While state
ments Of tins kind must generally be treat
ed with reserve, there is evidence that this
particular information is very near the
truth.
Nalenciennes Station was heavily
bombed by British airmen recently. A
prisoner subsequently stated that for
number of days following the raids, trains
were unable to pass through Nalencennes
as big engineer dump had been hit and
barrels of oil and explosives were burning
and blowing up.
\ raid was upon an ammunition
dump near Marais Wood, and several pho
tographs taken during the raid showed
the explosion a party Of prisoners cap
tured later, volunteered the information
that the dump blew up and that the NOR
al effect was enormous.

ment that not long ago an ammunition
train was hit and blew up in Nalenci-
ennes. fact which fully confirms the Brit
ISL official report that direct hits were oh

seem to prefer wool even for summer time.
Looking ahead to the winter, it is cal

to keep the troops warm through the four
or five months of cold weather, and some
10000 wood-cutters will be required to
produce the wood for heating. There. are

SHEPARD & GIucK,s COTTON LETTER

NEW ORLEANS, March &~-While cotton
was depressed in the early stages Of the ses-
sion today by the unfavOrable construction

recuperative power was shown and full re-
covery occurred in the afternoon. The small
net advance which came about in the early
afternoon. The small net advance which came
about in tile early afternoon was the best IL
lustratiCn Of the great strength underlying the
market that has been presented in weeks. II
hardly seems possible Tor Gotten to make an
advance in such critical times as these.
The early decline amounted TO 80 to 40 points.
The recovery was gradual and at the highest
the most active months were 3d6 points over
the closing quota tions Of Saturday. Trade buy
ing Of the soundest character appeared TO be
responsible for the upward movement. Market
was quicE to respond to the tone of the reports
from thx battlefront as the day progressed.
The war news Of the next few days will
have to be regarded as of the highest i'm
portance 1t is quite generally conceded that
the critical. II not decisive stage Of the great
conflict has been reached. The German
peror himself has stated much. Upon the
outcome of present military operations hangs
the destinies of all great nations and the mar
ket for cotton must discount these operations.
We have faith in the situation both at homo
and abroad, and in cotton Itself The marke,
receives convincing support all weak spots
and think it will be quick TO reflect any
favorable changes in the deadlocy on the west
exn front
