had. given up a weeks pay. This e&-
ample, he said. probably would be fol-
lowed by the workmen in all the great
factories Throughout Italy. The mate
rial damage in the cities of. Messina
and Reggie was. estimated by the gov
ernment. he said, at 1.O00,000,000 lire.
or. about s20e 100000, but: this figure
probably will be: gfea tly: exceeded when
the real facts become known.
GRATITUDE FOR ASSISTANCE
The. correspondent of LItalia de-
clared in. his cable dispatch that a deep
feeling of gratitude had been engen-
'dereds in Rome and throughout Italy by
the prompt response from the United
States to the appeal for aid, and
York and San Francisco. The subscrip-
tion already forwarded from San Fran
cisco has been second only TO New
York in size among those received
from any American city.
/. Following is the substance of an edi-
toriaI printed in yesterdays issue of.
LItalia concerning the gathering of
relief funds in this country:
This is not the moment to mourn
the dead. but to help the survivors.
Our countrymen in Italy and the Ital-
ian government are giving every aid,
within their power and the whole
civilized world is following this ex-
?
of national prejudice. all differences of
race. religion and politics have disap-
peared." Sorrow reigns all over the
world, and sorrow is the most sublime
exponent of love.
ALL CIVILIZED NATIONS AID
From Germany, Russia. England.
France Switzerland,r Spain, Austria,
and. in fact. from all the civilized ma
tions, the heads of government and. the
diplomats and foreign Offices have their
eyes and their thoughts turned on the
Italian catastrophe. But it is, after all,
from this great. generous, free Ameri-
can land that the greatest outburst Of
love is being manifested as never be-
fore in history At the time of this
writing the transatlantic cables are
transmitting to Italy hundreds of thou
sands of dollars gathered by the Red
Cross. At the time of this writing "a
great American transport. following
orders from the government al Wash
ington, is plying toward Italy laden
with provisions valued at a million
and a half dollars. Governors and
mayors in every state and city are
issuing proclamations and soliciting
funds, and the president of the United
States has called upon congress for
an appropriation 1t is thus an i'm
mense wave Of love that is sweeping
over humanity powerful wave which
TO earthly cataclysm, no earthquake or
disaster can check
