tress. Offers of aid are being sent from
every section and doubtless within a very
few days the relief fund for East ST. Louis
will begin to show generous proportions.
When the city Of Johnstown, Pa. was all
hut wiped out of existence by flood several
years ago the nation poured in to the suf-
ferers every article of necessity and COM
fort that sympathy could suggest, and
gave IN money SO freely and readily that
the survivors of the deluge were quickly
restored to their former material prosperi-
ty. or course no amount of giving can
heal the wounds caused by death, but this
fact should not and does not deter the
more fortunate citizens of other sections
from Offering literally when such disasters
occur. The actual losses are now beginning
to be known with some degree of accuracy.

fully S23.pD.UO0. For these losses no amount
OF popular subscriptions will suffice to re-
imburse the sufferers. What they need to-
day more than all else Is the means of
relief from present suffering. Hundreds of
them are not only without homes, but

through the destruction of many great
manufacturing establishments. Food and
shelter are required in quantities and these
will doubtless be supplied promptly. AS
far as Washington is concerned the Com
misSioners have already taken up the sub
ject and in whatever practical recommend
atoms they may decide to make they will
undoubtedly be endorsed and sustained by
the community
