ISLE OF CAPRI, July 16—The journey to this island from Rome isn't easy. The thought of returning makes me wince. My first mistake was to buy a roundtrip railroad ticket from Rome to Naples, third class. In England, third class travel isn’t bad. It's not luxurious, to be sure, but it's a far cry from the disastrous

Once you're in a car and someone is behind you, which is always the case, it's impossible to get out. Half of the passengers in the coach where I slowly suffocated, were soldiers with all their belongings, The other half had, besides all their possessions, strong sausage, cheese and dirty bottles of wine.

Jn my mind I had a huge ramp built about 10 miles into the Mediterrean. The end of the ramp would be unguarded over which all third class coaches could go.

and to the front of the station, My next objective was a cab. Porters wanted to help me carry my bag to the cab, 10 feet away. The cab drivers got into an argument with the porters. Finally, in my best American slang and as loud as I could use it, I announced I would have no part of their business. There was much grumbling but they under-

I must say the boat trip to Capri was pleasant, I've seen better bars on boats but by that time I wasn’t choosy. We docked at the Isle of Capri's little port of
