ITALY REGAINS ALL PRE-WAR TOURIST TRADE Hotels in Florence and Rome Again Are Meccas for Sightseers. ROME. May 11.—For the first time since the beginning of the great war Iraiy has recovered her tourist trade. Already her hotels are filled from one end of Italy to the other.; In Rome, wi.er*’ English and Americans always come on sight-seeing tours, it Is almost Impossible to get a room. In Florence, where I’rin-’ess Miry and Viscount L*scei’.es spent a part of tbelr honeymoon. It is almost impossible to find rooms, and even Venice has an extraordinary number of tourists. “Italy ;s r*-covering." say the Italians. tint of the recent tnrmo'l created by the failure of the Banco Italians di Sconce- one of the four largest banks of Italy has come a loud cry of “Back to X rm:. Vy and Bee,-instruction." Especially from the peas’ ns. many of whom were depositors in the bank, cotae complaints against the past programmes and demon Hr- for anew oneApparer.tly the most rapid way I’aly se-s • f r-toming to normalcy is to make on the and fft.fence in exchange between the l ; r -and F gllsh pounds or Ameri can and d.iars by doubling her hotel rates and lew p-ices on every article a tourist from toe Middle West of America could thdii < f wanting on a vacation. IIOTEI S INCREASE KATES. A year ago Americans complained bit-ti-rly against this kind of welcome from Iraiy. but this spring Americans, like all other tourists, are delighted if they cati find a hotel that will take- them at any price. Second -lass hotels raised their rates of SiJ ’ire fyr room and board to 80, and when they were filled the third -lass hotels did the same. In a very dir’v little pension* I was told that the rate was now 50 lire instead of ,V> as it was a month ago. and that if I <1 Jn’t like the dirt I conbl go somewhere e!s\ because there are plenty of other English who don't mind paying 30 lire for dir’ and all. and that they would go out f.,r their meals li 50*b s. rather than eat th food the hotel served at that price I explained in my bet Italian that I was an Americano and not English and that the hotel manager wes a profiteer. Whereupon he burst forth Indignantly against any American who objects to paying out any sum of money. That was only the beginning of my conversations with Italians about exchange Asa natter of fact every Italian is sure t' t Americans are burning with wealth, >nt after ail there is a friendly tone i all th-dr remarks about Americans. ITALIANS ADMIRE AMERICANS. They admire America and Americans; they wish they could be as olever; they are proud of their own great Industrial city of Milan because they Imagine It Is “just like America," and certainly its street;- of concrete apartment houses and factories seem very li s o new Brooklyn, N. V.
It is when Italians talk about the difference between French francs and Italian francs or lire that they become bitter. One French f.-anc will buy almost two lire. France returned to white bread while Italy was still eating dark bread. France had milk and butter while Italy was still hungry. “That." says the Italian laborer or the Italian business man, “is what Italy got out of the war." And usually he adds, “We should never have gone in." which after all is what mo-t of Italy honestly thought before she went into the war. They art* anti-German even now. as a result of the war, but Italian commerce understands only too well that her tar-re commercial interests used to be with Germany: and Italian lab r has r."t forgotten that Italy used to send her excess population out of the country—nearly 1,000.000 emigrants a year, many of them to Germany. BLAME MISFORTUNES ON WAR. Whatever misfortunes come to Italy you may be sure the people will say: "That is what we g>t from the war." A year ago Fascist! were saying: "The Socialists are running the country. That Is what w. got out of the war.” Employers added: “Look at the wages. That is what we got out of the war.” Socialists blame the war for Communists: Communists blams the war for the Right Socialists, and the I’opolure or Clerical Party blames the war most particularly for Glolitti and for the power of the Fascist!. Aed every one blames the war for the exchange. “See what Italy has suffered,” they say. “We alone of all the rllles hare got mulling for our suffering bu' hunger and political intrigues.” Social Worker to Make Talks Here Arthur J. Todd, Ph. D., Chicago, a social worker, will make several addresses next week in Indianapolis. He will speak at the monthly dinner of the Social Workers of the Fourth Presbyterian Church, Monday, and on Tuesday lie will speak at the semi-annual dinner of the Charity Organization Society at the Hotel Lincoln.
