Nor many months ago We had occasion to

with which our Italian fellow-citizens re-
sponded 10 the call Of Italy for help for The
people of the submerged valleys OF The

inundation has swept the valleys of the
Rhone and Danube, carrying loss and pow
erty 10 many hitherto happy households, Ii
is gratifying to note the esgerness
with which the Germans in this
country answer 10 the calls for
help that come from The faberland. Their
quick and full-handed response has chal-
leDged the attention Of the press OF Ger
many, and called cut the warm appreciation
of the great chancellor who controls the
destinies of The empire. One Of the Berlin
papers, too, is moved by this prompt and
generous help to cay that the Germans OF
America are not lost to the fstherland. How
could they be? The son is never lost to the

will act squsrely and fairly in the matter.
