War scares and the exodus of Jews from Italy have increased this type of smuggling to fantastic proportions.

The system employed has been to placen specially prepared mattress of banknotes under the ordinary mattress of a sleeping berth.

Mattress after mattress of notes is being discovered, and in many cases the occupant of the berth is completely innocent of the smuggled wealth on which he may be peacefully sleeping until roused by police searchers.
