ITALY Is AGAIN REAPING
GOLDEN TRAVEL HARVEST
Tourists Brought SLOT, 100000 to That
Country During 1922-Trade
Now On Pre-War Basis

Rome, Sept. 2s.-The italian tour.
ist trade has resumed its pre-war
status. Before the war the tourists
flocking into Italy from all parts of
Europe added 50o,000,Oo0 lire, or
| 800, 100000 at the exchange rate of
those days, to the wealth. of Italy. In
1922 tourists from all over the world
brought 2,000,000,000 lire to Italy
which, calculated at the present rate
of exchange, would give about the
same sum. 500, 100000.
Coupled with remittances received
from Italian emigrants, mainly in
America, this tourist revenue used to
be sufficient to balance Italy's adj
verse trade balance. The emigrant
remittances. especially during the
present year, show a conside cradle
falling off, probably owing to the re-
stricted immigration system now in
force in the United States. In 1922,
however, the emigrant remittances
equaled their pre-war figure, which
was about the same as that of the
tourist expenditures.
The falling-off of revenue from the
eimgrant source has stirred the vari-
Gus commercial organizations to look
for the missing income in an extern
sion of the tourist business. At pres
ent tourists go over the beaten paths
outlined by the travel companies. But
that is not all of Italy, say the Ital-
ian promoters. While they point to
Rome, Naples, Sicily, Florence, Venice
and the Italian Alps as being very
worthy of tourist patronage, they in
sist that regions of the Abruzzi, the
Puglie and Romagna are also to be
considered as possessing great tour
list attractions.

foreign feeling, put an end to the
subversive activities of revolutionary

a much clearer political atmosphere.

British high commissioner Is keep

noting its progress aud prosperity too
great a task. England will again step
in and guide the forces of the nation.
The most arden Egyptians, even

Chatham. England, Sept. 2S.--Im.
| portant experiments are being made
here with a gyroscopic instrument de-
signed to abolish the rolling Of war
ships. The apparatus, for which great
things are claimed by the inventor,
has been fitted to ship in the Chat
ham Dockyard, and a novel method
has been employed during the pre-
liminary tests. Platforms have been
constructed enabling parties of men
to run on and off the ship, which lies
moored In one of the basins. In this
way artificial rolling is set up for, as
every nautical man knows, a vessel
is surprisingly sensitive to the move
ment of number of people from one
Side to the other.
Thorough tests are to be made with
the gyroscope at seat. 1t is generally
agreed that If the invention proves a
success it will have an almost revolu-
tionary effect on naval warfare, be-
cause one of the greatest difficulties
which the naval gunner has to en-
counter at present is the continual
rolling of the ship.
BY the introduction of large bilge
keels and other Improvements in de-
sign. naval architects have been able
to reduce the rolling very consider
ably during the last few years, but
many difficulties still present them
selves. The modern battleship is so

This would mean the handling and
