Italian Cities CRY
For Tourist Trade

Rome, Italy. Jan. 31--The cry for
the tourists Of America. England and
France is heard throughout Italy. II
is as strong IN Venice, Florence,
Na5les and Genoa as in Rome
But Italian cities have increased
their population at such an amazing
rate during the war that there seems
70 be no room for tourists Hotels IN
al the larger cities are crowded to
overlooking at all times. Apartments
and houses are not available at am
price. Rents have been kept down b
law and municipal authorities are
hard-pressed to find shelter for the
population that has flocked TO the
cities.
Rome had only $4,000 inhabitants
before the opening Of the war. II
now has 100000 and seems TO be
growing daily There are few for
eigners- One seldom hears anything
but Italian spoken in hotels. cafes
and Iheaters. But the streets are
crowded day and night.
In its palmiest days Rome had g.
0uo.o 600 Inhabitants. But in the 18th
century when the papacy moved to
Avignon, in France, the once grand
capital Of the anciest world became a
deserted ruin with only 1900 in
habitauts.
