FIND ROME CROWDED
 WITH VISITORS
IRepubIIcan A. D. Leased WIreI

ROME, May 15.-''Tenting on the old camp ground" will be the lot of Americans rushing into Rome. Rome is full, full for months, so the hotel men say. American tourists have captured and occupy it so that others of their countrymen wishing to get in must be spoken for in advance or must pave a golden road for them selves in gratuities to hotel porters and clerks in order to get a place where to lay their. heads.
 Sorry, but we are full Did you write us?~ Did you telegraph" is the constant cry of the functionaries at the hotels. If one cannot answer in the affirmative, sorry indeed is their lot. for weary pilgrimages from one hotel to another is the only alterna- tive.
 A chance might bring a room 'scalper" to ones assistance. This consists in offering a room in pri vate house for which the daily stipu lation is enormous. There was one example where an American paid SIG a night for his room in private fam fly. The room was only scantily fur nished and not modern in it's ap- pointments.
 Aside from the scarcity of lodgings ftOTne seems to nave taken on It's pre- war tourist attitude. The same vendors of cameos present themselves to the American on his appearance ir Rome. The same old faces are seer in the antique shops and the art show rooms. The same beggars oc- cupy their accustomed places. while the same old blind band with it: full sighted drummer of tourist shekels grinds out it's unintelligiblt violin squeaks and clarionet groans Cab drivers rule the highways. ex- cept for a new auto bus line which has succeeded the old horse line or the Corso Umberto.
 Prices have mounted ten to twenty times what they were in the old days All the souvenirs are thousand pei cent higher. The art works and an tiques have taken a similar leap "Itching palms" greet the American tourist at every angle. Hotel prices even when transferred into American money, are two or three times theii former level. A room and meals or the American plan costs at least 5 person. where it used to cost two.
