GERMAN PRESS SAYS BRITISH GAINS OF
 NO IMPORTANCE
Preparing People for Loss Of
 Jeruslem, and Defeat

AMSTERDAM, Dec. 7.-The German press has been full of comments lately on the unimportance of the military gains of the British, both on the French and Turkish fronts. In pre- pairing the people for the loss of Jer usalem, the Nord Deutch Allgameine Zeitung says that ito cling to places which would bring us no military ad- vantage would be tantamount to the useless sacrifice of numerous Turkish forces and our own troops and would likewise involve serlous losses"
 After discussing the difficulty of re- inforcing the defenders it says:
 Anyway, the abandonment of Jer- usalem, which is within the bounds of possibility, certainly would be an eX- tremely painful loss, in view of the city's great historical value, but no military change would be caused by such course"

 The Dominion building; the Provincial Parliament building, the Government houses and the Dalhousie college, are now be- ing used as temporary hospitals and morgues.
 VANCEBORO, Maine, Dec. '. A Massachusetts relief spec ial, bearing Red Cross nurses and doctors, in large number, from Boston, reached the Can adian border, and will arrive in Halifax early this afternoon. They are sadly needed, says a report.

 HALIFAX, Dec. 7.-The dis aster, said an official this morn ing, will probably rank as being as fearful as ever occurred on the American continent. Per sons were picked up bodily by the force of the explosion and hurled hundreds of feet distant. Houses crumbled like paper box es. Children were hurled to their death against telephone poles and other Instructions. There are hundreds crippled; i; some for life. Many were burned to death, among the lat ter is Edward Candon, chief of the fire department.
