In Tornea l learned during my brief
stay that the Bolsheviki had also for
hidden the departure from Russia of
two carloads OF informed German chill

AT Tornea IT was stated that the
Miliukoff adherents of the cadet party
were showing remarkable strength in
the elections for the constituent as

they might dominate that gathering
Professor Milfukoff was one of four
cadets and six Bolshevikl who were

When collins for the dead come in,
there must be many small ones among
them. The casualties among the
children were frightfll. More than
two-score little ones lie in the ruins

CARING FOR HOMELESS.
While the sleet blizzard swept
through Halifax tonight there were
many sad scenes in the Academy of
Music. in the churches and other shell
tiers which are devoted to caring for
the 10000 homeless.
Scores of these people, dazed by shell
shock, their brains curdled with the
horrors they have undergone, are just
coming to their senses. Many still have
no realization of exactly what hap
pened, and their first inquiry always is
for their fathers or their mothers or
their children. The relief workers have
done their utmost to calm them.
Some sit listlessly staring. Several
have lost everything, their homes, all
their worldly goods, their friends and
their families. Their lives have become
as bleak as the cruel wind which
whistles through gaps in the rough tar
paper and board coverings over broken
windows.
There will be no church services in
Halifax tomorrow. Every church that
stands Is filled with people that have
no other home and no money.
Supplies Of warm clothing, blankets
and other comforts brought in by re-.
lief trains have already been exhaust
ed. being rapidly distributed to sur
vivors. The distribution was conduct
ed in several school houses.
BEYOND RECOGNITION.
Half the 800 bodies recovered up to
tonight are beyond recognition. Yet
many searchers insist on seeing them,
hoping to establish identity through
rings or through some little trinket or
shred of clothing found with the body.
Searching parties came out of the
burned zone tonight, having given up
| the hunt for corpses until the storm
abates. Some of the bodies newly found
told by their attitudes, mute stories
OF suffering that affected even the re-
! lief parties. Injured to shocks as they
now are. Trapped under fallen build
ings. some Of the dead fought to the
last to escape from the flames which
finally reached them and ended their
sufferings.

ions, for instance, had only one cas-
ualty each, and that another suffered
loss of only three men. 1.,s is al
most unprecedented in an attack ut
such magnitude
Casualties Light.
The casualties among the crews Of
the tanks were very light on the op-
ening day, which is the only one for
which reports haze thus far been re-
ceived. 1t is impossible to state how
many tanks were in action, but there
were several hundred, and out Of all
the men who went forwarud in them
it appears that less than twenty were
killed and less than leo wounded
Many of these casualties wore due tc
the fact that men left the tanks tc
perform their work in the oren
where they came under the fire OF
snipers.
The performance of the tanks wa.
the more remarkable because there
was only a short time to prepare fo
their use. Some of the tanks hat
never been in an engagement befor,
and the crews lacked actual fightin,
, experience. Moreover, it was neces
, sary to train the infantry to cooper
ate with them.

TANKS WONDERFUL
FIGHTING MACHINES

British Army Headquarters in
France, Nov. 22.-The impression
which existed in the minds of many
soldiers that the British tanks were
freaks of little value as instruments
of war is being wiped out on account
of the achievements of the great ar
my OF these mighty engines which, on
Tuesday morning, broke through the
main Hindenburg line and carried
the war miles into enemy territory
The work which the tanks did that
day and have been doing since is one
of the most striking features of the
war. 1t cannot be said that they are
alone responsible for the tremendous
victory won by the British, for in
fantry, artillery and cavalry all have
played their part. Nevertheless, the
tanks drove the entering wedge, with
out which this triumph probably
would have been impossible.
Through Barbed Wire.
In few hours they tore to sl.rctls
lines of barbed wire, the demolition
of which by concentration o. art;l-
lery would have required many days.
Furthermore, their employment made
possible the arrangement of the Sc
cret attack, which would have been
out of question had the artillery been
brought into play.
The tanks have demonstrated fully
their power of saving the lives of
men and in conserving ammunition.
