NAPLESCAPTURED
BY The 5TH ARMY
CONTINUED From Page One)

for battle at Rome. While the pup
pet Fascist government of Musso
lini has repeatedly declared Rome
an open city, there has been nc
agreement by the Allies. If the
German attitude toward Rome is
anything like their conduct toward
the Neapolitans, the Eternal City
may have bad days ahead.
The Allies entered Naples at 8
am. A terse communicate from
Gen. Eisenhower said simply:
Troops of the Fifth Army have
entered Naples and the city is re
ported clear of Germans. :"
Naples is in ruins and aflame
The bulk of the five German di.
visions forming its defenses got
away, but many rearguard forma'
tons, including some of the enc
my's finest troops, were annihilat.
ed by the Allied avalanche.
For months, Naples was dealt
blasting blows by Allied planes,
especially Flying Fortresses, and
shelled by Warships.
Then the Germans proceeded
with systematic demolitions, not
only to deny anything of value tc
the onrushing Allies but to inflict
vengeance on the Italians for sur
rendering Internationally and ir-
reparably shattering the Axis.
A dense pail of smoke has been
hanging over Naples for days.
Latest reports say many bodies
are buried beneath the debris. 9th
ers, including those of civilians
and disarmed Italian soldiers as
sassinated by the Germans, still
lie in the streets.
The tragedy which had befallen
Naples, one of the worlds most
beautiful cities because of tn e
scenic splendor of its bay and the
mountains rising from the sea, ap-
proaches that which descended up
on nearby Pompei in ancient times
when it was shaken by an earth
quake, engulfed by tidal wave
and covered with ashes by an
eruption of Vesuvius.
Nine tenths of the Neapolitans
did not stay to see the last lurid
days under the Germans. They fled
to the hills long ago. Those who
did remain lived under a reign
of terror in which the Germans
were shooting Italians and looting
their homes.
The Germans burned down the
University of Naples after four
students had killed a German Of
ficer. They sacked the city's ia
nous aquarium. Refugees report
ed that the nearby street w S
streWn with rare specimens of fish
and a collection of octopi for which
the institution was known.
One dispatch said the beautiful
San Carlo opera house had been
burned.
The loss of Naples undoubtedly
will compel the Germans to pull
back farther in the central and
Adriatic areas, where the Eighth
Army is exerting steady pressure.

Phila. Symphony
Orchestra At Dover
Concert VIII Be Held At Field
House This Evening

The men of the Philadelphia
Symphony Orchestra, wishing to
contribute to the war effort, are
giving a concert at the Field House
in Dover this evening. The concert
will begin promptly at 1880 p. m.
and there are no reserved seats
and no tickets. This is rare
privilege for the people of the two
lower counties and one of which
many will take advantage. There
will also be an amplifying system
which will bring to those arriving
late the numbers on the program
of the concert, as they sit on the
lawn of the Field House. Because
of the gas shortage many have had
to remain at home for the past sew
eral months and have curtailed
their. tastes for music enjoyed in
the cities. This appearance of the
orchestra so close by will bring to
music lovers an evening such as
they have not had lately. Young
children must be accompanied by
their parents to be admitted. This
is a very note worthy gesture of
the men of the orchestra and the
appreciation of the audience will
reward them in a measure for it.

Overseas Mail Must
Be Sent Out Now
September IL To October Is Is
Month Set Aside For Mailing

The Army Postal Service. which
controls all mail for soldiers over
seas. has designated the thirty-day
period between September Is and
October Is. 1943 as Christmas
Mail Month" During this period
many of the restrictions which
have governed the sending of pack
ages to soldiers overseas will be
relaxed. 1t is the purpose of the
War Department to see to it that
all letters and packages mailed to
the armed forces overseas during
this period shall be delivered at
their destinations by Christmas.
With millions of men and wo-
men in service in the seven seas,
this project assumes gigantic pro-
portions, and the Government has
asked the cooperation of various
civilian agencies in making it pos
sible. 1t is a compliment to U. S.
o. that this organization has been
approached by an officer of the
Armed Postal Service with a re-
quest for cooperation on the
ground that, of all existing organi-
cations in the country, U. S. o. not
only is best equipped to bring
home this message to the families
of soldiers, but the War Depart
ment feels that through its clubs
and other services, U. S. o. has the

vice people, as we'll as the best
means of reaching civilians who
are actually interested in their
