Reports reaching here say that new mass sailings to Palestine are being prepared in Italy. According to these reports, Jewish communities located on the ##cast are crowded with new arrivals. This is particularly true of Genoa, Savona and ## Spezia, in the north, and of Ladispoli, near Salerno, and Gaeta and Ostia, near here.
