The vote on the resolution was pre-
coded by ten hours of heated debate,

times evincing their admiration or dis

OUR BROTHERS IN DISTRESS.
MILWAUKEE, journal

Milwaukee journal
A year ago we should have talked to-
day Of nothing but the earthquake in
Italy bringing death to thousands and
grief and loss to tens Of thousands.
But it is one of the sad things of war
that we grow used to reports of great
numbers killed. Human life seems
cheaper; other tragedies lose the
power they have in normal times to
warm our sympathy.
Nevertheless our sympathy does go
out to Italy. We shall not forget,
even at such a time, that these men
are our brothers whom sorrow makes
more closely kin than they have been
before Belgium has touched our
heartstrings; Poland has touched us;
the grief of bereaved and suffering
people in three-fourths Of Europe has
been on our minds. Now is added
another nation A nation that has
so far kept out Of war and that we
hope will keep out of war is afflicted
by cataclysm of nature. Perhaps
the loss is less terrible than the loss
from war if grief can be measured at
all. but to the human heart what does
it mean that loss came one way orI
another The loss is there. A sister
nation sits in grief, and America 2can-
not but share her grief and sorrow
with her.
