BAKER TO FACE QUIZ
MILITARY AFFAIRS COMMITTEE
VOTES INQUIRY INTO ARMY.
Investigation Expected to Silence
Many False Rumors and Fore
stall Criticism of Congress.

Washington, Dec. IA comprehen-
sive investigation into the entire ma
tional military situation, including the
progress beng made by the war depart
ment in organizing training and equip
ping the new army, was ordered by the
senate military affairs committee.
The investigation will begin within
a few days. 1t is the intention of the
committee to call Secretary of War
Baker and other high officials.
Many complaints regarding slow
progress equipping the new draft army
were laid before the committee. Sem
atOr Wadsworth of New York, who
has visited many environments report
ed unsatisfactory progress in supplying
the men with rifles and necessary
equipment.
After discussing the situation, the
committee decided to make an inquiry
into the whole military situation. Such
an investigation will silence many
false ruznors, forestall criticism in
congress and force tagging depart
ments to speed up, in the opinion of
members of the committee.
The inquiry, according to present
program, will be held behind closed
doors.

HALIFAX HORROR
STUNS DOMINION
Disaster Probably Most Fearful
That Ever Occurred on the
American Continent.
TOTAL LOSS OF LIFE UNKNOWN
viii Surely Be Numbered by Thous-
ands-Stricken City One of Great
5ritain's Important Military
Posts-lts History.

The disaster at Halifax, which cost
the lives Of at least 1000 people,
though the exact number will never
be known, plunged the Dominion into
mourning. 1t probably ranks as the
most fearful that ever occurred on
the American continent. Residents of
Halifax and thousands of volunteer re-
lief workers who came into the city
were daZed at the extent of the hOr-
ror.
The Belgian relief ship limo collided
win the French munition vessel, Mont
Blanc, loaded with 5000 tons of T. N.
7. and large quantity of benzine.
The impact set fire to a deck load
of benzine on the French ship and the
flames quickly communicated with the
munitions, resulting in a practical
bOmbardment of the city.
The zone of destruction in Halifax
itself extended from the North street
railway station as far north as Afric-
vile to Bedford basin and covered an
area of about two square miles in the
buildings which were not demolished
by the force of the terrific explosion
were destroyed by the fire which fol-
lowed.
District DenseIy Populated.
The devastated district was the old
er part of Halifax and thiclzly popu-
lated. 1t contair.ed, in addition to
Citadel hill, many churches and
schools, the railway station, govern
ment dockyard, Wellington barracks,
Admiralty House (the official resi-
dence of the admiral in command of
the North American British squad
ROM, the military hospital, post Office,
provisional parliament building, city
hall, the ordnance department, most of
the department stores, all of the tele-
graph and cable offices and a few no.
tells.
The better residence district was al
most unframed. It lies southwark
from the Queens, aud includes most of
the churches, including st. Mary's Ro-
man Catholic cathedral.
II the fire-swept section were the
parliament buildings, post Office, three
newspaper offices, Royal Bank of Can
ada, Canadian Bank of Commerce,
Bank of Nova Scotia, Bank of British
North America and the Bank of Mon
treal.
Other structures destroyed are Dal-
housie college, two Roman Catholic
converts, the Presbyterian Theological
college, the government technical col
lege, ~ churches and so factories, in
Guiding iron foundries, breweries, dis
tilleries and two sugar refneries.
