1taly's vast tourist population have
been severely taxed this year-some-

the influx Of Holy Year visitors.
Hotel managers, porters and Wallets,
who once were able to satisfy their
clients by passing acquaintance
with italian, English, French and
German. now are frequently reduced
to conversation by eloquent gestures.
Hotel notices and other tourist infor-
nation posters, which until this year
had been printed in three or four
languages, now in some cases boast of
as many as six or seven.
Recently taxicabs and cabs were
provided with booklets setting forth
the scale of prices in Italian, French,
German, English, Spanish and Polish.
And even the expert philologists who
boast of being able to make them
selves understood in Russian, Serbian,
Rumanian, Hungarian and all the
other Central and Northern Euro

with a more battling difficulty by the
