in their midst at the head OF a dis
tinguished mission. Not less will they
understand and reciprocate the spirit
which has prompted the visit OF Mr..
Balfour, whose arrival is, by a happy
coincidence, announced today. At
Mr.. Balfour's age, and with the bur
den of responsibility that he bears
such journey at such a moment is
no light matter. 1t has been under
taken to show how dear, to all the
English peoples especially, is the fell
lowship of America. because of "the
fundamental unity in the large aims
OF national life" between them and
the great Republic, which is their
Kulture-the ripe fruit of their his
tory, their institutions, their litera-
ture and their habits of feeling and
of thought. They know that, ever
with the immense addition to the COM
mon resources which the entrance Of
the United States into the war brings
with it, the struggle may still be
fierce and long. But they have COM
plete confidence in the result. They
look forward with the Americans to
something higher and more lasting
than victory in the field. That must
come first; but afterwards they hope;
that "as the earth bringeth forth her
fruit so the Lord God win
cause righteousness and praise to
spring forth before all the nations"
Yesterdays service was a recognition
Of that hope and prayer for its full
filment.

EXPLOSION IN HALIFAX HARBOR
KILLS AND INJURIES OVER
10000 PEOPLE

Last Thursday one of the most terri
bic explosions in history occurred in
Halifax harbor. 1t was heard fifty
miles out at sea.
A Belgian relief ship, it is reported,
collided with a French munitions YES
sci loaded with 5000 tons of T. N. T.
and large quantity of benzine. Due
to the collision the benzine caught
fire and as soon as the fire started
the crew abandoned the ship, reaching
shore before the explosion took place.
Practically all of North Halifax was
destroyed and all of the windows and
doors in Halifax and Oartsmouth were
demolished.
Fully five thousand people were
killed and as many again injured. The
explosion sunk three ships and badly
damaged many others.
Halifax, founded in 1749, is built on
the eastern slope of a peninsula in
Halifax Harbor. The harbor con-
sists of a neck of water a mile wide
and six miles long, which ends in Bed
ford basin, a large sheet of water open
all the year and affording a safe an
chOrage for vessels of any size.
Hills ON either side of the narrow
harbor form a trough calculated to in
crease greatly the violence of any
large explosion in the waters of the
harbor. Since the war Halifax has
grown from a comparatively small
port Of provincial important to one
of the greatest gates of ocean traf-
fic in North America, and it's waters
have been constantly studded with
transports and freighters carrying
munitions and supplies. Most of the
Canadian troops now in Europe, sup
posed to number about 100000, sailed
from Halifax harbor
In 1911 Halifax had a population of
$4,000, according to the census of that
year, but this is believed to have more
than doubled with the enormous
growth of the military and naval i'm
portance of the city 1t is the eastern
terminus of the Canadian Pacific rail-
road, the Canadian government rail-
roads and local lines.
Steamship lines operate between the
port and points in Newfoundland,
Great Britain, the United States and
the West Indies. The greatest de-
velopments which have taken place
since 1914, have been the building of
piers, warehouses, ship yards and rail-
way facilities to handle the vast
streams of munitions and troops
bound for Europe.
The most important part of the
water front lay in the area of damage
from the explosion, dispatches indi-
cate. In addition, there were many
churches and schools, the main rail-
day station, some of the government
dock yards, Wellington barracks.

The May party at Schubert's hall
last Thursday evening was a grand
success and one of the largest at

being 1O6 couples present. Schubert's
