 Some are inclined to believe that Germany has deferred tco long such au offer to gain from it now the desired effect.

cold and Snow and Horrors.

| Halifax, N. s., Dee. 7.-Freezing cold
anda heavy snowstorm added to the suf-
ferings of wounded and shelterless in
this blasted city today.
Fires which were believed eXtinguish-
ed have broken out again. There is no
reliable count of dead.
! Two thousand is a low estimate, in
the belief of those working among the
eorpses, now frozen stiff in grotesque
and horrible attitudes of death agony.
Many Of the injured are dying.
Police are attempting to round up
, lost children, who are wandering thru
the appalling wilderness of wreekage
weeping bitterly or calling for their
mothers.
Even worse conditions than exist in
Halifax have turned North Dartmouth,
across the bay, into place of death
and suffering.
The most badly damaged section of
Halifax is shut off by guards.
The dock yard magazines have been
flooded to prevent more explosions.
Soldiers Do Relief Work.
| Canadian soldiers and American sail
ors worked side by side searching for
wounded, gathering the dead and pre-
serving order in Halifax. Immediately
after the explosion, while dense clouds
of white smoke were rolling over the
scene of devastation, the Canadian
troops were assembling, each man
ready for business. Some of those who
formed ranks were bleeding from
wounds. The detachment of American
bluejackets which arrived soon after
the blast were of immense help.
American relief workers from New
York, Boston and other points are un
derstood to be en- route here. They have
not yet arrived.
Many Surgeons Come.
When surgical help from nearby
towns reached here last night, the in
iured were thronged around dressing
stations awaiting their turns. Thous
ands who have not other hurts are suf
feEing from cuts received when th'
air was filled with falling glass.

st. John, N. B. Dee. First refu-
gees from the Halifax disaster arrived
here today.
The party included Catherine White
and Miss Dorothy Mckenzie, both of
Boston. They were in their class room
at st. Vincent Academy when the Mont
Blanc blew up in the harbor.
The young women were injured. Miss
White said:
When the explosion occurred we were
| in our class room and all of sudden
there came an awful noise. The building
shook like leaf.
"We thought some powder plant had
exploded About minute later the full
force of the explosion hit us and every
window in the building crumbled to
nothing but powder.
I "Then came the awful screams and
agonized means of the stricken.
"We were ordered to leave the build
ing,'' Miss White continued, Gas. the
sisters in charge thought magazine
which was situated near us would ex-
plode. We all hurried into the woods in
the rear of our school.
"About noon we returned to the
academy. At that time the city was q
mass of flames. Men came to us and
begged for cloth for bandages. We
frantically tore up sheets and gave them
everything in the place which would
be of any use.
"By this time loads of dying and in
iured were being brought to US in wag-
| 6ns and our sisters began to assist IN
dressing their wounds.
"Men broke down and sobbed, and
women shrieking and moaning, were
soon clustered in our damaged but still
intact building.
"Many were horribly cut. Women,
clasping babies to their breasts, begged
for help"
