HALIFAX HORROR
STUNS DOMINION
Disaster Probably Most Fearful
That Ever Occurred on the
American Continent.
TOTAL LOSS OF LIFE UNKNOWN
Will Surely Be Numbered by Thous-
ands-Stricken City One of Great
Britain's Important Military
Posts-Its History.

The disaster at Halifax, which cost
the lives Of at least 1000 people,
though the exact number will never
be known, plunged the Dominion into
mourning. 1t probably ranks as the
most fearful that ever occurred on
the American continent. Residents of
Halifax and thousands of volunteer re-
lief workers who came into the city
were daZed at the extent of the hor-
ror.
The Belgian relief ship limo colllded
with he French munition vessel, Mont
Blanc. loaded with 5000 tons of T. n.
L. and n large quantity of benzine.
The impact set fire to n deck load
of benzine on the French ship and the
flames quickly communicated with the
munitions. resulting I'm II practical
b~0mbardment of the city.
The zone of destruction i'm Halifax
itself extended from the North street
railway station as far north us Afric-
Vile to Bedford basin and covered an
area of about two square miles in the
section known as Richmond. The
buildings which were not demolished
by the force of the terrific explosion
were destroyed by the fire which fol-
lowed.
District Densely Populated.
The devastated district was the old
or part Of Halifax and thIckly popu-
lated. 1t contained. In addition 10
Citadel hill, many churches and
schools. the RAILWAY station, govern
ment dockyard, Wellington barracks.
Admiralty House (the official resi-
dence of the admiral In command of
the North American British squad
ROM. the military hospital. post Office.
provisional parliament building. city
hall. the ordnance department. most OF
the department stores. all of the tele-
graph and cable offices and n few ho-
tells.
The better residence district was nj
most unframed. 1t lies southwark
from the Queens. and includes most of
the churches. including st. Mary's Ro-
man Catholic cathedral.
In the flre-swept section were the
parliament buildings. post office. three
newspaper offices, Royal Bank of Can
ada, Canadian Bank Of Commerce,
Bank of Nova Scotia. Bank of British
North America and the Bank of Mon
treal.
Other structures destroyed are Dal-
housie college. two Roman Catholic
converts. the Presbyterian Theological
college. the government technical col
lege. ~ churches and 50 factories. in
