Washington, Dec. More than s.
600 are believed to have been killed
in the explosion in Halifax harbor and
the fire which swept North Halifax
and Dartmouth, N. s., according to ad-
vices from a naval commander reach
ing the Navy Department. The navy
dispatch said these figures had not
been verified, however.
Halifax, N. s., Dec. with the toll
of dead steadily mounting, it was be-
lieved early this morning that more
than 1000 persons periohed in the ex-
plosion and fire which followed the
collision in Halifax harbor between q
munitions-laded French ship, the Mont
Blanc, and the limo, another vessel
loaded with supplies for the Belgian
Relief Commission.
The disaster which has plunged the
dominion into mourning probably will
rank as the most fearful that ever oc-
Cured on the American continent.
Residents Of Halifax and Thousands of
volunteer relief workers who have
come into the city have been almost
dazed at the extent of the horror.
Temporary morgues have been es-
tablishcd in many buildings, to which
a steady procession Of vehicles of all
kinds have been carrying for hours the
bodies Of men, women and children.
Most of them were so charred that
they were unacceptable.
Virtually every building in the city
which could be converted into a hos
pital is filled with wounded, many of
them SO desperately injured that there
is no hope of their recovery. Scores
already have died in these temporary
hospitals. An ever-increasing number
is being taken from the completely
devastated Richmond district to the
relief station. An army of rescue
workers is searching among the ruins
for bodies and for those who have sur
vived amidst the wreckage left by the
explosion and fire.
The city was in darkness Thursday
night except for the flames from the
fires still burning in the wrecked build
ings in the North End. The electric
light and gas plants have been vir-
tually destroyed and the only lights
available are kerosene lamps. They
furnished the Illumination by means of
which surgeons and doctors toiled
heroically throughout the night car
ing for the injured.
Soldiers, sailors and police patrolled
the streets and upon them fell the
major portion Of the burden of search
ing among the ruins for the dead and
wounded. The Canadians were assist
ed in this work by sailors from an
American warship in the harbor.
The flame-swept area covers ap-
proximately two and one-half square
miles. 1t begins at what is known
as the North street bridge, extending
north to pier eight on the Richmond
waterfront and back to a point run
ming parallel with Gottingen street.
Nothing has been left standing in this
section OF the city. Only a pile Of
smouldering ruins marks the spot
where the great building Of the
American Sugar Refining Company
stood. The drydock and alt the build
ings which surrounded it were de-
stroyed. The Richmond school that
housed hundreds of children was de-
molished and It is reported only three
escaped.

American chiidren's Manners.

American chiIdren's Manners.
The North American child Is too
often merely the by-proiuct Of mar
rage. It serves as an outlet for that
pride which its parents cannot always
reasonably take in themselves. 1t is
petted, cajole1. fdfnpered, overdressed.
and underdisc1plined, till there Is
evolved a pygmy for whom the world
soon grows banal, who is destitute Of
the petitionary apparel to childhood,
and who surveys an already antici-
pated and thoroughly analysed future
with the cold eyes OF unnatural knowl-
edge. The world is it's football. 1t Is
smart beyond description. But there
is in the forced garden Of its life no
sheltering bed where may bloom the
flowers of graciousness or peace. OF
such will be the new aristocracy, and
it's traditions will be Of grandfathers
who, by virtue of that native Ameri-
can longsightedness, delivered the
goods Of their period and were prompt
ly and suitably rewarded But there
will be few traditions of courtliness,
scant reminders that noblesse oblige,
and but scattering memories Of In
herited responsibilities. The sempi-
ternal dollar will still dominate. One
generation was too busy collecting and
the other will be too busy spending.
The second generation offers no prom
Use, and the third but little. The
fourth will probably open new and
f1ner cycle-Harpaf's.
