1000 LIVES LOST IN
MUNITION SHIP BLAST

INTO TRANSPORT IN HARsoR,
SETTING OFF EXPLOSIVES.
Virtually All of North End Of City Laid
to Waste BY Explosion, Loss
Running Into Millions.

Halifax, N. S.-More than 1000 per
sons were killed, according to esti'
mates made when the French mum.
tions ship Mont Blanc blew up in Hal
flax Harbor after a collision with the
Belgian relief steamer limo. Thousands
were injured, and it is expected many

and the property damage will run far
into the millions. A part of the town
of Dartmouth, across the narbor from
Halifax, also was wrecked. Almost all
the buildings in the dockyard there
are in ruins.
The zone of destruction in Halifax
itself extends from the North Street
Railway Station as far north as Afric-
Vile to Bedford Basin, and covers an
area of about two square miles in the
section known as Richmond.
The buildings which were not de-
molished by the force of the terrific
explosion were destroyed by the fire
which followed. Scores of persons
were injured by the collapse of the
railway station, Arena Rink, M litary
Gymnasium, sugar refinery and eleva-
tor. All business has been suspended.
Armed guards Of soldiers and sailors
are patroling the city. Not street
car is moving and part of Halifax is
in darkness. All hospitals and many
private houses are filled with injured.
Temporary hospitals and morgues
have been opened in schoolhouse3 in
the western section of the city The
damage along the water front can not
be estimated Many of the men com
posing the crews Of the ships in the
harbor were killed and injured. On
one steamer, the Pictou, it is reported
that 33 Of the crew of AZ were killed
Two members of the crew of the Cana
dian cruiser Niobes were killed by the
explosion and several were injured.

PAY FOR GERMAN PRISONERS
United States Is Complying With In
ternationaI Law in Giving Stipend
to Men, Mccain Says.

Washington.-The pay which Ger
man prisoners in this country receive
from the United States Government is
the stipend required by international
usage. The mooted question of what
and why German prisoners are paid is
cleared up in letter which Represen-
tative Overmyer, of Fremont, Ohio, re-
ceived from Adjutant General Mccain
General McCains letter follows:
international law provides that a
captor nation pay commissioned pris-
oners of war a certain amount which
is used to defray the cost of their food,
clothing and for the purchase of any
other articles permitted them by pris-
on regulations. Upon the conclusion
of war the amounts so expended shall
be refunded to the captor Government
by the prisoners Government"

Washington. ID. Give are ready
now" This, Secretary Daniels in his
annual report, made public, asserts is
the American navy's war slogan. The
slogan Is the reply of the young officer
commanding the first American tiotilla
of destrOyers to enter the war zone
after the United States declared war
against Germany, made to the British
Admiral's query as to when the Amer
can ships would be ready for service.
THAT was not language OF boast
tng," Mr.. Daniels says in describing
the incident. 1T was the prophecy
and pledge of our service with those
fighting in a common cause. During
peaceful years the navy has been
quietly but steadily perfecting itself to
meet the time of war. Now the hour
for which it has been preparing has
arrived Our sword is drawn and no
one will dispute that the blade is keen
and free from rust and its temper true.
while | may not speak in detail OF
the greater naval operations, it may be
stated that the record is one of in
creasing power, of developing re-
sourcefulness and of cooperative
achievement which the American peo-
pie may we'll survey with national
pride. While the details of what we
have done and how we have done It
must wait until it is permissible to
spread them upon public record, this
summary may be given to our peo-
pie:
"In the navy we have prepared for
and have met the duties Of the pres
ent; we are preparing for and are con-
Edent we will be able to meet any call
for greater duties, for more eXactlnS
responsibilities. The best way to Sc
cure enduring peace is to prepare un-
ceasingly, night and day, for the win
ming of the war, whether it be long or
short This we have done; this we
are doing. and this we will continue
to do"

DECLARATION OF WAR
SIGNED BY PRESIDENT
AGAINST AUSTRIA-HUNGARY-U.
S. PLEDGED TO PUSH WAR
TO FINISH.
Love House Dissenter Is London, New
York Socialist, Who Opposes
Spread of War.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
hington.-America is at war
with Austria-Hung lry. President VII.
son signed the declaration that, with
formalities waived and opposition vir-
tually erased, had been adopted by
the Senate and House of Representa-
tives in less than four hours. The
declaration dates December Z, when
the President affixed his signature,
and from that hour all the resources
of the country stand pledged to push
the war to a successful conclusion.
Only one voice was raised against the
declaration in either branch of the
Congress, II being that of Meyer Lon
don, New York Socialist. He voted
no against the ayes cast by 1863 other
members of the House. In the Senate
no voice was raised against the IA
affirmative votes. Senator La Toilette
did not vote, being out of the cham
ber, He and London divided the at
tention of the galleries, it being ex-
pected that both would fight the dec
laration. Neither could as much as
delay progress, however, so earnest
were the two legislative groups, and so
skillfully did Chairman Stone, in the
Senate, and Chairman Flood, in the
House, marshal their forces.
Passage of the resolution by the
Senate came quickly, in practically
an hour. Seventy-four of the SO Sen
ators voted AYE" including Gore,
Gronna, Norris, Stone and Vardaman,
of the alleged "pacifist" group. Sen
ator La Toilette, another member of
the group, did not vote for the reason
that he was absent from the chamber
Later in the day he explained why he
had been prevented from voting by
absence. He said that while listening
to the speeches he decided to go to
his Office to prepare an amendment.

DOG LET THE RAT GET AWAY
With Club, When Man Intsrfered
and Asked Chance With FIdo.

A man came out of a furniture store
carrying q rat he had caught in trap,
says the indianapolis News. In his
other hand he held club. He raised
his arm and just as the club was about
to descend on the unfortunate rat a
man stepped up and said
Why don't you give the rat a
chance? He's got as good a right to
live as we have"
an give him a chance, all right,
with this club" replied the rats cap
tor, squarlng himself for the fatal
blow.
"HOld on" said the rats champion
"Tve got dog. Turn the rat loose
and let 1t take a chance with him.
That's the DOPE" said a number OF
persons attracted to the scene.
The man hurried into his place OF
business and few moments later re
turned with the dog tugging at the
leash. Finally all was in readiness
and the rat and the dog were released
at the same time. Then something
entirely unexpected happened. In
stead of seizing the rat and tearing Il
to pieces the dog grovelled in the dir
Mt his owners feet, whining piteous
ly, while the rat escaped in a neigh
boring cellar.
"Some dog" remarked bystander.
Everybody laughed, and the dog
owner retired in n great confusion
dragging his ferocious animal afte
him.
81 ought to had more sense" salt
the m II with the trap. "The next ra
I catch will stand fat chance"
