DO you FEAR THE WIND,

no you fear the force Of the wind,
~ The slash Of the rain?
Go face them and fight them,
Be savage again.
Go hungry and cold like the wolf,
Go wade like the crane;
The palms of your hands will thicken,
The skin of your cheek will tan,
You'll grow ragged and weary and
Swarthy.
But you'll walk like O man.

Raging Blizzard Stops
Rescue Work at Halifax

HahftX, N. S.. Dec. 7.-Stricken Hal
flax was swept tonight by raging
blizzard. So fierce was the storm that
rescue workers were forced to sus.
pend their operations in the devas-
, tated section. 1t is believed certain
that all the injured, buried under the
ruins or shattered buildings, have per.
lshed OF cold and hunger.
Battered by biting wind and blind.
ing snow, the plight of the survivors
of yesterdays holocaust is little short
OF desperate. The windows and doors
OF virtually every house in the city
we're shattered by the explosion VIII ;ch
wrecked the Richmond section and de-
vastated a large part of the water
front. lmprovised barricades OF
boards give little protection against
the elements and attempts to heat
buildings into which the snow is stead
lily drifting, are HOPELESS.
The city is again in darkness tonight
except for the illumination afforded
by scanty supply OF oil lamps, adm
unless these are carefully screened,
they are extinguished as soon as
lighted by the gale which whistles
through the crude shutters. Only a
small percentage of the vuildings have
even this slight protection from the
storm.
Injured in Bad Shape
The sufferings of those who escaped
injury have been increased by the fact
that every available blanket, quilt and
comfort has been requisitioned for the
hundreds of injured in the temporary
hospitals. Many of these are so grave
ly wounded that their only hope les
in the best of care. Serious fears are
felt that cold, shocks and exposure
will result in an outbreak of pneu-
monia.
