ROME, Nov. 15.-Premier Giolitti
{as lust returned to Rome from his

nd where, at least from the viewpoint
/ the Italian public at large, he has
list given another acid test proof of
lis democracy.
Although the waters of Fuggi are
amongst the most famous in the world.
was not until the past year that the
little Italian village began to as

kommodations of fashionable water
big resort On the occasion Of his
lrst visit to Fuggi years ago, Premier
biolitti stopped at small inn kept
by the mayor. Honored by such
suest, the mayor not only met him at
(he stage coach landing. but the next
morning when Giolitti went to the
|pring to begin his cure presented
bin with an individual silver cup,
highly desirable prophyilaetic meas
ire, which the premier used daily
throughout his cure. The same per-
ormance was then repeated every
succeeding year. the silver cups al
Ways being ready at the spring with a
special attendant beside 1t when
Giolitti arrived.
Unfortunately during the past year
magnificent hotel was erected. It
had all modern conveniences and quite
naturally Giolitti preferred going
where the accommodations for bath
consisted of more than, the wash bowl
and sponge. But, peeyed at this de-
sertion. the mayor not only failed to
1neet Giolitti, but when the latter
went the next morning to begin his
cure, neither tho silver cup nor the
special attendant was in evidence.
Without moments hesitation, how.
ever, Giolitti took his place in line

is that while the mayor Of Fuggi i

~ is the possession Of such qua

a''on OF these two things, that, {
