Already Allied air fleets ranging on ahead Of

as they bombed and gunned their objectives.

Naples Is
Superb City

Allied troops In capturing Naples
today took over Italy's third larg-
est city which also is its second
largest seaport, center Of wealth
and culture since pre- Roman times
and one of the worlds most beau
tiful cities.
Lying on the shores Of Naples
1876 miles south Of Rome, it Is built
like an amphitheater on the lower
slopes Of Mount Vesuvius. Its broad
deep harbor Is one Of the finest in
the world, so commodious that 1t
can accommodate the largest Of
ocean liners. Once 1t is cleared Of
demolitions of the Germans, it will
be great service to the Allies.
1t is the capital of coastal plains
trimmed by rugged mountains known
as Campagnia consisting of four
provinces which had population
before the war of 1857. 607. To mod
ern Italy, Naples and its hinterland
is of foremost economic Importance,
Naples being an industrial and trade
center, the countryside. prodigious
producer of food. The world knew
Naples chiefly as the center of an
area slirmounted by fiery Vesuvius.
To italy, Naples was a port for a
large part Of its commerce, second
only to Genoa, and the port Of en-
try for thousands of tourists.

Shortage Of
Cotton Seen

Boston. oct. - (U.P.) - A
cotton shortage this year for the
civilian trade Of from 2,5O0,000 TO
5000, 900 bales and perhaps an even
greater one next year was predicted
today by President Russell T. Fish
er Of the National Association Of
Cotton Manufacturers at the groups
annual meeting.
The civilian trade, he said, will
have to get along with the equiva-
lent Of $500, 600 bales Of cotton this
year as. compared with 100000 to
1000 600 in normal years and s.
100000 bales at the bottom Of the
depression In 1882.
Fisher said that northern textile
mill production during the first
eight months Of this year was II
per cent less than in the CORE
spending 1912 period.
He said mills must consider MILL
tary requirements before civilian and
that in addition large quantities Of
cotton textiles are being used in war
production.
However, Fisher said that some Of
the decline in cotton textile output
can be attributed to government
price policies since many ceiling
prices do not permit labor costs
based on wage payments of time
and q half for overtime. This over
time, he said, cannot be avoided If
the mills are to hold production at
the level urged by war agencies.
MANY Of the ceiling prices were
set at time when the industry was
operating more fully" he said.
Consequently such gains in the re-
duction Of overhead as might have
been obtained during that period
have been largely lost due to fewer
hours operated.
